The next morning, we woke up at almost the same time, I woke up and when I got out of bed to use the restroom, Cheta turned and opened his eyes, yawned and called out to me, quietly.
"Good morning, baby", he said, almost in a whisper
I turned around.
"You are awake, baby. Good morning, love", I said and walked back to the bed. He pulled me closer to him and held me in a tight hug.
"I need to pee, baby"
"Okay, baby. I'll be here", he said
I got out of the bed and walked into the bathroom. I didn't just ease myself, I also brushed my teeth, the door opened while I was still brushing my teeth, and Cheta walked into the bathroom.
"I knew you were going to do that", he said, laughing
I spat out the toothpaste in my mouth, "Baby, you know I can't kiss you with my mouth unbrushed", I said
"Well, I better join you then", he said and picked up his toothbrush and put toothpaste on it and started brushing his teeth. I let him shower before I got in and took a shower myself, and then we went downstairs to eat breakfast together.
"Baby, do you want to go to work with me?", Cheta asked me
"Why? You know I have to work", I said
"Yes, I know. You can just sit in my office and work while I go in for the meeting"
"But baby..."
"I just don't want you staying in the house alone", he said
"Okay...okay. We can go together but I'm not getting dressed up"
"You don't have to, you just wear something comfortable"
"Okay then", I said
Now I'm beginning to think that Cheta is obsessed with me, okay I'm joking, this man is just really very caring and worries about me a lot. But is obsession a bad thing? I think it's only bad when the person is dangerous or maybe I'm just yapping a lot and not making any sense, so I'll just leave this conversation and come back to it when I'm ready to talk about it. We finished with breakfast and went back upstairs, I changed my outfit to something I could wear out, then I picked up my laptop and we left the house. We got to the company building and Cheta went straight to the conference room, but that was after he had taken me to his office. He left and promised to be back when he could. Cheta's office was a very space, he had hardly any decoration, except for a shelf with books and a couch and his work table with two chairs, there was also a refrigerator with drinks and chocolate. I got comfortable on the couch and pulled out my laptop and went straight to work. I don't how I sat there writing but I know it was for a very long time because when I checked my phone, it was already 1 pm and I was famished. I took my phone to place an order for something to eat from an online food vendor, and there was a knock on the door, the door opened and a young woman, petite, dark-skinned and pretty, walked into the office, holding a paper bag.
"Good afternoon Ma"
"Good afternoon", I said
"I am Mr Chike's assistant",
"Okay. Hey"
"Mr Chike asked that I bring you lunch", she said and gave the paper bag she was holding,
"Oh! I was about to order something. Thank you", I said, taking the bag from her.
She nodded and walked out of the office. A notification came on my phone and it was a text from Cheta about the lunch, he sent over. I opened the bag up and took out the plates of food and it was Nigerian jollof rice with chicken and fried plantain. I put my laptop down and ate my lunch, the food was a lot, so I didn't the food. I went back to writing and didn't stop until I had written the last word in the script and I felt that excitement every time I finished a script. Cheta wasn't still back and it was already 5 pm, so I took out my phone and texted him. The door opened and Cheta walked into the office.
"Baby!", I said, shocked that he just walked into the office. I got up and walked over to him, holding him,
"I am tired and hungry"
"Have you eaten anything?", I asked him
"Yes, I had lunch in the conference room, but I just want to go home and rest"
"Did you finish?", I asked him
"Yes, I finished."
"Then let's go home. You take a bath and eat dinner and we just relax with a movie", I said
"Well, I can say that I love that idea. Did you finish your script?", he asked me
"Yes, I did. I'll send it to the producer later tonight"
"Let's go home, baby"
I picked up my purse and my laptop and we walked out of the office together. We drove home and I dragged Cheta upstairs to take a bath, I said dragged because he wanted to have dinner first and I knew it would be better for him if he took a shower first, so I dragged him upstairs with me. We got upstairs and Cheta went straight into the bathroom because he didn't want to hear me say "It would be better to shower first". I went back downstairs after he had gone into the bathroom to look for the housekeeper.
"Please will it be possible to bring up dinner to our room?", I asked him when I found him
"Yes, that won't be a problem ma'am. I'll get them to bring it up now"
"Thank you"
"No problem ma'am", he said and walked into the kitchen.
I went back upstairs and lay down on the bed and waited for Cheta to come out of the bathroom. A few minutes later, Cheta came out looking more relaxed than he was before he went in there. Then there was a knock on the door.
"I wonder who that is", Cheta said
"I'll get it. You should get dressed"
"Okay, baby"
I walked out of the room. I opened the door and they brought in the food and put them on the table in the parlour.
"Thank you", I said to them as they walked out of the suite. I walked back into the room and Cheta was wearing shorts again, looking very handsome and sexy.
"Don't you think you should wear a shirt, baby?", I asked him
"Why? Is it bothering you?" he asked, with a smirk and tried to hold me
"You know what, you don't have to, just walk around half-naked until you catch a cold", I said and tried to run away from him
I jumped on the bed, still getting away from and he jumped on me, holding my leg.
"I've got you.", he said, laughing
"To think you were hungry a few minutes ago, how do you have so much energy?", I asked him, laughing
"Let's go and eat, please. I'm famished"
"Let's go...the food is in here"
"Thank you baby", he said and got from the bed. He held out his hand and helped me up from the bed. We walked out of the bedroom into the parlour, where the food was. We sat down to eat our dinner, I helped put some food for Cheta on a plate and give it to him,
"Thank you, baby", he said and took the food from me
"You are welcome baby"
"You know Nick and Chioma's wedding is tomorrow?", he asked me
"Of course, I remember. Why do you think I braided my hair? I am ready for the wedding"
"Okay, baby", he said
"I even got a makeup artist for tomorrow"
"O-kay. You are ready. When is the makeup artist coming?". he asked me
"I got her through Chioma, she will be coming at around 7 am"
"Okay, someone is excited about this wedding"
"I am.."
We continued eating our food.
"So what movie do you want us to watch?", he asked me
"I don't know, we will find one when we pick up the remote controller"
"Okay baby"
We finished eating our dinner and the kitchen came upstairs and picked up the plates after I called them. We went over to the couch and turned on the TV, then we picked a movie to watch, it was a romantic movie. I forgot to tell you that my best kind of movie to watch is a romantic movie.
"Come here, baby", he said
I moved closer to him and he pulled me in his arms, my best position to be in at the end of the day.
"You know we can't stay up late tonight", I said to him
"Yes, we won't."
He kissed my forehead and we turned our focus back to the movie that was starting on the TV. We watched the movie for a while until we were tired and sleepy...
