Chapter 14 - unspoken jealousy

"what were you doing with him?" Kiara asked her immediately after they got home.

"What do you mean by that," she asked raising an eyebrow.

"You were too clingy towards him and you forgot you were with me"

Kiara answered sounding a bit jealous "don't tell me you were jealous Kiara" Erica asked her.

"What nonsense... Do I look like someone jealous?" "it's written all over you so stop pretending babes".....

Kiara didn't know how to respond to Erica's words so she quickly left her behind to avoid any unnecessary arguments that will come between them. "

It seems the way I'm reacting toward Erica is too much... It's just a cordial relationship I guess.."

she said to herself and smiled "I heard what you just said Kiara" Erica said walking towards her "Do you like him?"

Erica held her shoulders "like who? Oh please," Kiara ignored the question ...

"Arhg.. come on... You can tell me everything I will pass the information back to him for you"

Erica kept talking but Kiara didn't pay attention to her. "I'm very exhausted so I need to sleep so please stop this rubbish"

Kiara scolded and went to the washroom and had her bath and later return to her room.

"Good night," she said and closed her eyes "okay... Keep everything to yourself"...

Late at night, Kiara couldn't sleep so she sat on the bed and started thinking.

She kept thinking about what was going on in her life then her mind drifted to the bar attendant.

"Could it be I was jealous as Erica said?" she asked herself and then took those thoughts out of her head

"No. I can't be jealous of anyone, especially that guy" she added and laid back on the bed still thinking till she fell asleep.

"Good morning" Erica greets her as soon as she wakes up.

"Good morning... How long have I been sleeping" she asked her and checked the time it was already Monday and needed to go to work.." for a while now"

she replied "I need to get to work. I'm already late... Kindly ask them to prepare some breakfast for me" she added and went to the washroom.

Erica went downstairs to make sure Kiara's breakfast was prepared while she also get herself prepared.

Within no time, Kiara came downstairs looking dressed up and ready for work.

Her breakfast was served immediately after she sat down.

"So what are you going to do at the office?" Erica asked her while enjoying her breakfast

"I need to sort some documents out... Then I think I will be having a meeting too not too sure tho"

she answered, "so I guess you will keep long?" "Not really.. why do you ask?"

"Nothing just asking"..... "Okay time to go.... See you later" she sprang up to her feet and turned to leave

"You look beautiful tho" Erica praised her and smile "thanks hun"...

....

Kiara's car broke down in the middle of the road. She got stuck and didn't know what to do since she doesn't know anything about cars.

She tried calling for help but no one seems to be answering her calls.

She called Erica severally but her number wasn't reachable.

She didn't know what to do so she stood there staring at the car trying to figure out what to do...

"It seems someone needs help," someone said from behind and Kiara quickly turned and saw who it was. "Surprised?" The voice asked again and smiled...

"What are you doing here?" Kiara finally found her voice and asked

"it just happened I was leaving this neighborhood and I saw you standing here getting stranded" he answered and walks closer.

Kiara stood there not knowing what to do or what to say. "Do you need my help?" he asked her before doing anything.

Kiara doesn't know if she should answer or not and she needs to be at the office as soon as possible.

She took in a deep breath before opening her mouth to talk "yes I....need...help" she tried sounding polite but her voice kept breaking.

The bar attendant smiled before getting close to Kiara then move his head close to Kiara's "say please"...

Kiara stood there struggling within herself "if you won't add please then I will leave.."

he said and turn to leave then Kiara grab him by his arms and pulled him back...

He lost his balance due to how Kiara pulled him back. He fell on Kiara but luckily, the car was behind them so Kiara lean on the car and he fell on her...

"Please... erm... Umm," Kiara stammered with the words she wants to say.

She got embarrassed and then took her face off but he brought her face back to his causing both faces to touch each other.

Their nose touched a little and the heat rising between them was something else.

Kiara felt the warmness that was coming out from him so she lean in more to him forgetting about herself...

She remembered that same warmness she felt when she lean on his shoulder and wept that night...

She forgot all her worries that moment and kept leaning in more...

"Can I ... stay like this for a...while" Kiara manage to voice out then place her head on his and closed her eyes.

She didn't know this bar attendant could be this warm and comfortable too and she wished she could stay like this forever...

"Don't you have anywhere going?" He finally broke the silence that was existing between them for a while "No..." Kiara answered forgetting she had a meeting to attend.

After leaning in for a while, she came back to her senses before realizing what was going on "damn..."

She exclaimed and moved after him "what happened?"

He asked her but no reply came from Kiara... "Please can you fix the car now?" Kiara asked him while looking at the other side of the road "okay....."

He checked the car and realized the battery needs to be charged before it could start working again

"I don't think this can be solved.. I can offer you a ride to where you're going"...

She stood there contemplating whether she should accept the ride or not but looking at the time, she was already late and needed to be at the office for the meeting...

Since no response came from Kiara, he turned but Kiara held him again so he stopped and face Kiara again

"Don't you want me to go?" He asked her then Kiara nodded.. "umm... Please... take me to the.. office" she stammered.

"Don't worry. I will take you to wherever you want to go today but as for the car, I will get someone to fix it for you okay"

he said to Kiara and she nodded "after you.." he moved aside asking Kiara to be in Infront of him.

They got to his car then opened the door for Kiara to sit then smiled. Kiara blushed a little as soon as she sat down.. "let's get you to the office.."

After an hour of driving, they arrived at the office. The bar attendant quickly step out of the car and rushed to open the door for her...

Kiara smiled at him for the first time so he got carried away by Kiara's smile.

"Beautiful" he whispered to himself but Kiara heard what he said and then blushed more...

"Thanks for the ride" Kiara spilled out and smiled at him again.. "why are you so beautiful?" He asked her and Kiara blushed more

"Did you just blushed?" He exclaimed showing how excited he was.. he can't believe Kiara just blushed because of those compliments he gave her...

Kiara left him because she couldn't stand him any longer.

She got to her office and started smiling more due to how she felt...

"Why am I having this strange feeling anytime I'm around him?" She asked herself. "Kiara you got to stop this"

she added and then touched her nose because she suddenly remembered their nose brushed slightly.. "oh gosh this feeling..."

She whispered and left herself in her seat and closed her eyes while smiling...
