"Emm sir" I heard someone's voice behind me and Preston was standing really close to me.
"Make sure nobody is at my private garage" he said to her "yes sir" yin replied "and can you pack food for two" he said again. "Yes sir " she replied and left the office.
He raised my face up "you're coming with me" he said as he walked back to his seat and sat down then he took his phone.
The door opened again, yin already came back with some food, she met me still standing there she looked at me then back to preston
"Sir, I already did what you asked me to do, and I also brought the food" she said "leave it on the table" he said even without looking at her. Then she left.
"Let's go" he said walking towards the door, I picked up the packages and followed suit. We entered his car and drove off.
"Am hungry" he said still looking at his phone, I opened a pack and gave it to him "here" I said as I stretched the food towards him. He took the food and began eating while I ate mine.
We entered into his compound "cook something some people are coming over, then come to my room when you're done" he said as he disappeared from sight.
I dropped my bag on the dinning table then I entered the kitchen, tying my apron and started cooking, I think I would go for rice stew and fried chicken I said to myself as I brought out ingredients. Then I started the cooking, I was done afterwards. I dished them into set of warm plates I drank water then I went up to look for Preston.
The door opened as I stood in front of it, I met him taking some pills "are you sick" I asked "em not really" he replied. "I want you to move into my house" he said like a bomb dropping on my head "I don't really know if I should" I replied.
He coughed holding unto his chest "are you okay" I asked again "am fine" he said drinking water again "I would think about it" I said. There was a knock on the door afterwards "sir they are here" he said from the outside. "Let's go" he gesture to me as he stood up and I followed him.
To my greatest surprise I met iris and westly with two other guys which I recognize as Darren and Colton. I ran to her and embraced her "mom" I said as I finally hugged her.
"Baby I wasn't expecting you to be here" she said "neither do I" I replied, "I want to see your room" she whispered into my ears, I pulled her away from westly "it's not like it's my room but I would show you" I said as I took her upstairs.
"Wait whose room is this, she pointed at Preston's door" "it's Preston's"I replied " wow"she said as she snap it, "am gonna upload this" she said excitedly.
We came to the door and opened it "wow it's really pretty" she said as she sat on the bed "so you're moving in" she asked.
"Mom I would like to ask for your permission" I replied "you have to do what your heart says okay" she said as we talked for a while more before going back down stairs. We sat down to eat while the guys talked.
I followed iris back despite Preston's saying I should stay,he texted me over and over again, we got home soon enough as I slumped into the bed "man an damn tired" I hugged my teddy as I tried falling asleep.
"A WEEK LATER"
I watched as he slept peacefully on the couch, I was cleaning the house, when he was sleeping, I guess he fell asleep there while he was working. I closed the laptop he was using before he slept and adjusted him well on the couch. I pressed a particular button on the side turning it to a bed.
I went got the kitchen to do the dishes, it's getting late and I haven't gotten home cause I came here from school. After doing the dishes. I came out and walked to where Preston was sleeping to wake him up so he would drop me off but I couldn't find him.
I walked upstairs to his room, but he wasn't there, maybe he already went outside but still couldn't find him, when I was about going back inside I saw a figure walking towards the swimming pool just at the other side of the house.
"Preston!!! " I yelled but he wasn't answering me "what's wrong with him" I tried chasing him still yelling his name but he wasn't stopping, I managed to catch up with him before he stepped into the pool. "What's wrong with you" I asked bit no response, his body was a little hot "Preston" I called again bit still no response. He just stood there with his eyes closed while I held him.
"Why ain't you saying anything" I asked but he fell on my shoulder, I really don't know what's this, I managed to take him back upstairs to his room, his forehead was really hot. I quickly took a napkin socked it in water and put it on his forehead to stabilize his temperature.
My eyes landed on the envelope on his bed side table I felt like opening it, but I kept refraining myself, finally I took it and opened it, medical reports for Preston.
What Preston has Somnambulism, "wait what's Somnambulism" I asked as I picked my phone. Somnambulism is a state of walking while asleep, usually it's common among children and outgrown during teen years, it is caused by unhealthy sleep pattern and or fatigue. It may also be a sign of mental sickness and immense mental stress. A person who walks in there sleep is a somnabulist "it reads.
" what so he has been hiding this for so long, no wonder he wants me to stay with him, I looked at his face, get really looks stressed, he tossed around the bed. I held his hand and he kept calm, I tried removing my hand but he held on so I sat there, I don't know how but I fell asleep.
" PRESTON'S POV"
I felt something dripping on my face, I opened my eyes how did I get here I wondered, I looked at my side I saw Jolie with her head on my bed and my hands holding hers. I looked at the table "what she already found out" I screamed at myself, like she heard me she raised her head up, my eyes met hers.
"You're awake"she said as she looked at my hands still holding her " am sorry "we said together. She took the napkin out, she tried standing up and walking away I stood up too.
"Jollie!! " I called and she turned immediately "you already found out" I asked but she kept quiet. I stood up from the bed. "You may think am a sychopath, but seriously am not" I said not sure why I did.
"No one don't know anything" she replied "quite it jollie I already know you saw my medical reports" I replied "yeah I did" she replied and have changed my decision I would stay with you, but you have to promise and stay to my conditions"she said. I was damn happy "sure anything" I replied. She left the room afterwards.
She came back minutes later with breakfast, she set it on the dinning table in my room "your medicine" she asked. I showed her the wardrobe where I kept them she brought then out after I finished eating, she gave them to me to drink then she she told me to go back to bed, I laid on the bed.
"I would be back, I need to get home" she said as she closed the door behind her as she left for home. Thank goodness she already agreed to stay with me, I smiled to myself as I stood up, I entered the washroom after fee minutes I wore a casual outfit and laid on the bed maybe to find some sleep. I opened the bed side fridge I took out a can of milk, I emptied it into my mouth before finally getting some sleep.
"JOLLIE'S POV"
Preston's guards dropped me off they actually waited for me, I entered into the house but couldn't find iris, I knocked on the door, she was in her room when I entered. I gave her a quick hug then I sat on her bed.
"Em why didn't you come home last night" she asked "am really sorry bit something came up" I replied and told her everything that happened before I arrived "yeah I know about it too" she said.
"He was actually looking for someone who he can trust to be his maid and stay by his side always, he already tried so many girls but they all just wanted to get their selves on his bed, so he stopped trying until he met you" she added "baby can you do it" she asked again. "I don't know" I replied with my head bowing down "look at me, Preston needs you and we all do" she added "am going to give it a try" I said as I raised my head up.
She smiled at me "I'll miss you" she said as she hugged me. . .
Iris helped me pack, as she escorted me to the car"remember to call always "she said" I will "I replied, she stood there waving until the car was out if sight. Now this is another chapter of my life....
