✨ Jayson''s Pov ✨
I suddenly shoot my head up from the system as I felt a pang on my chest, I shut my eyes closed and opened them slowly as I tried to mask out the uneasy feeling clouding my mind.... this isn't normal, definitely not, I'm not stressed out or anything so why do I suddenly feel.... bothered
It's past midnight and I know Jasmine would be slightly angry, but right now it's not about her anger, why do I feel like she's in danger?
I opened my phone for the first time since I came to work and my eyes widened
Text: Jayson, you are ten minutes late, where are you?
Text: Jay, now you are an hour late, I'm bored, but just so you know, I'm mad at you
Text: Jay, I'm watching a movie and I'm not feeling it, come home soon, or else I might just go out in a kinky dress (wink emoji, smile emoji and a frown emoji)
I actually chuckled at that but read further as I slowly stood up
Text: Jay, why are you fúcking late?????
I sighed as I dailed her number but she's not picking
"What the fúck?" I muttered as I tried again and again and again till I suddenly felt something burning down my throat, this is definitely not normal, Jasmine can't ignore my calls, she can but still, I don't think everything is fine
I looked out the window and it's raining, definitely it's going to start pouring heavily, I fastened my seat belt as I drove off roughly, my hands shaking, I could literally hear the thumping of my own heart as I swiveled right, heading directly for my mansion....our mansion
The first thing I noticed almost made me pee on my pants as the gate was opened, I drove in and one of the securities made his way towards me
"Why are the goddamn lights off?" I asked as I looked around and my house seems to be the only place without lights
"We noticed the weather and decided to back it to the generator just Incase" he said and I simply walked in
"Be fast about it!!!" I yelled as I entered and darkness eglofed the entire living room, I took a few steps to observe and I figured out Jasmine isn't in the living room so I furged upstairs
My heart acceleration getting out of control as I climbed hasteningly, lossening my tie so I could breathe properly as I felt air fleeing off....I heard a thud and my heart skipped a beat...the bad kind of beat as I hurriedly went upstairs
"Jayson, is that you" Jasmine's cute yet scared voice said and I paused for a minute, wondering the noise was coming from
"Star, I'm right here, just hold on" I said but I guess she didn't hear me because I heard another panic cry as she was sniffing madd... she's obviously scared to the core...the rain intensified and she shrikes
"Jay!, say something, you are scaring me!!!" She yelled and I quickly pulled out my phone, turning on the light as I heard her struggling whimpers, is she fighting with someone?
I hurriedly got to the hallway and her eyes met mine, she shook her head repeatedly as she suddenly covers her ears, yelling out her lungs as she fell down flat on the ground
"Jasmine!!!" I yelled as well, hurrying towards her as the lights finally came on, she was sweating profusely, despite the heavy rain, her temperature could boil an egg
I tossed my phone aside as I cupped her in my arms, I checked her pulse and luckily she's still breathing, her hair was drenched in sweat, her whole body was sloppy....
"What the fúck happened to you, Star?" I asked rehetoricaly as I carried her and placed her on the bed, she screeches her face in hurt, I could clearly see her struggling with some unexplainable pain, her lungs moving up and down as she swallows hard, soft whimpers escaping her lips as I watched her....my Star is in pains and I have no fùcking idea on what's going on
I scratched my head as I dashed into the bathroom, soaking up a towel in water as I squeezed it hard, folding it in a rectangle shape and placed it on her forehead, she jerked a little as I sat besides her....her body was hot, extremely hot and she's shivering hard
I rubbed my forehead as confusion laced through me, slowly I took her shaky hands in mine, caressing it gently as she breaths heavily, she subconsciously turned her head sideways for about five seconds and finally calmed down a little....her grip tightened on mine as she stopped whimpering, rather she snuggled up to me
"Jayson?" She called half unconsciously and as her eyes flutters a bit, barely able to keep them open and I layed besides her....her weak eyes still on mine as she released cold breathes, the heavy rain making her shiver despite the fact that she's burning hot
"I'm right here Star" I managed to say and she smiles before snuggling deeper, resting her body on my as I opened my arms wide enough for her petite body to fit in, caging her in my warmth
"Don't leave me alone.... don't go anywhere, please" she pouted with her eyes closed and I kissed her forehead reassuringly, locking my grip on her as she layed sideways, stuffing her face in my chest as a small smile plastered on her face
I watched her carefully, observing the way her whole body heaved up and down slowly and her temperature is getting better....ish
I took the towel off and tossed it aside, grabbing the back of her head as inhaled her sweet hair scent, watching her sleep peacefully, the heavy rain drowning her soft breaths.
She's mine, mine to touch, hold, love and own.... completely

The Next Day★★
✨Jasmine's Pov ✨
I snuggled up to the broad figure besides me, trying to get as much comfort as possible as it suddenly became so safe sleeping in his arms, feeling his pulse as I layed still, he doesn't move, rather he pulled me closer into his warmth as I sprawled my legs over his, interlocking him, as we were literally hugging each other whilst sleeping
I remembered everything clearly, it was an imagination, the flash of light I thought was lightening was actually Jayson's phone, he came for me right when I needed him the most, he's suddenly became my protector, someone who looks out for me.
Weeks ago we were loggerheads, fighting, grumbling, Ignoring each other's existence....I don't know what changed, I really can't tell why Jayson is suddenly close to me, he's englofing me with a strange feeling I'm yet to accept
He did say he loves me, but maybe it's just because of the heat in the moment at that time, we were drowned in pleasure and really didn't know what we were saying
I said a lot of things, most things I really can't remember but this strange feeling of suddenly finding peace in his arms, I feel safe, I feel this warmth exoding from me, making me to question what I truly feel for him
Love?
Lust?
Or is this all a game?
I opened my eyes and looked up at him, he obviously didn't sleep a wink last night due to the fact that I was shivering, I saw how worried and concerned he was, I can't even bring myself to tell him the truth..... it's going to break him
I don't want to shatter this little trust friendship between us, I don't love him, certainly.....but I do care about what he feels and I can't bare seeing him hurting, is that what loving someone actually feels like?... don't answer that question, please
My hands subconsciously trails on his perfect jawline, the thin line between his lips, his gorgeous cheekbone.....his closed eyes that I know by now would be glistening brown each time he looks at him
How can someone be this perfect, this handsome, a perfectly sculpted human grace of destruction, he's dangerously breathtaking, looking up close now makes me see just how beautiful he is
Yes, I used the word beautiful because mere words can't describe just how attractive this man is
Even without my pills I survived yesterday because of him, I could have landed in the hospital or even worse, fall into a huge sickness but just his touch did the magic, just his warmth made me feel better, as addictive as a drug, I felt ease..... this aura of calmness eloping me as he covers me with his body, I can't explain how he did it, the more I think about it, the more dazed I become
I smiled as my fingers trails to his lips, his perfect lips, it's been two days and I haven't kissed him.....I suddenly felt the burning urge to close the space between us, I missed the feeling and the excitement it registers through my cells
A mild gasp escaped my lips as he suddenly scoops me in his arms, making me lay directly on his body, a small smile on his face as he held my waist possessively with both hands and I rested my head on his chest, feeling and hearing his soft heartbeats syncing with mine
"Morning Star" he mumbles, feeling the vibration on my chest and I suddenly wondered the reason behind the nickname he gave me
" Why do you call me Star, what's the reason behind it?" I asked and he poised his lips as I felt him caressing the thin line on my spine, sending cold shivers entirely to my body
"Aren't you curious cat?, why don't you figure it out?" he asked, I raised my head and our eyes met.... and awwww his morning face!.... God help me!!!!
"Just tell me the reason, you don't have to be a dîckhead over everything" I mumbled and his hands slide to my àss and my body stiffened.... literally
"Your eyes" he said and I furrowed my eyebrows
"My eyes?" I asked quizzically and he made me lay my head back on his chest, as I heard every single beat his heart makes.....his hands trailing off my àss to my middle back.....curse me for noticing every single move he makes
"You have the prettiest eyes and they shine so bright, your bright eyes, I can't seem to get enough of it" he mumbles and raised my head again and he chuckled, he's so carefree and that makes my heart melts
"Thanks for yesterday, I really appreciate" I said raising my body halfway to see his face properly
"You scared the shît outta last night Star, what's the reason behind your fright?" He asked and I gulped down emptiness as I looked at his eyes, his pulpits dancing from side to side as they await my answers
"I've been like this for years Jay, losing my parents in a terrible accident, the heavy rain drowning them in the pool of their blood as they were carried away, I passed out and when I woke up, I couldn't remember anything, not even my name" I narrated and he brought his hands to my cheeks, squeezing them softly as a tear slipped down my eyes....
"But when I was brought to my parents ward, my Dad was dead and my Mom was barely breathing, I remembered her face, and she called me by my name and that was the last time I saw her, she died in my arms and ever since then, I had this panic anxiety in me, I was advised to take drugs to suppress the pains, I've lived on drugs Jay...I....." I said as low sobs choked me and tears bridging my eyes, I intentionally didn't tell him about my mother's warning, I honestly don't want any rift between this beautiful relationship between us
"It's okay, don't say anything else" he said as he pulled me into a warm hug and I squeezed myself, savoring every single moment as he caress my back soothingly
★★★
"Tea?" He offered and I took the mug from him and he sat besides me with his mug, it's a matching color and watched him took a sip before I slowly took mine and I almost choked on it
His eyes widened as I pushed the mug towards him and he furrowed his eyebrows
"What happened?" He asked and I cleaned my tongue with my hands trying to get over the terrible taste, it's awfully bitter and definitely not what I expected when he said he wanted to make tea..... like who doesn't know how to make tea?, Obviously Jayson
"What did you put in it?, It's awfull!" I quaked and he shakes his head before taking the mug, gulping the whole damn thing as I stared in awe
"Maybe it's your mouth, did you brush properly?" He asked nonchalantly and I hit him
"You are insane Jayson, I swear to God I'm going to throw up on you if you don't tell me what you put in that thing you almost killed me with" I asked with a smile and he stood up, immediately he did I also stood up and made to run but he caught me
"Let me go!" I shrikes as he locked me in his tight grip and forced me to look at him
"Say the key word and I will let you go" he said huskily and I rolled my eyes
"Àsshole, let me go" I said sarcastically and he chuckled
"You called my tea awful after I spent minutes making it for the both of us and now you are calling me an àsshole?, you little sponge" he said freeing on of his hand as he pokes my forehead and I whined a little
"Because it's awful and I almost vomited, yuck!!!" I mocked and he held my chin tightly, our bodies pressed against each other as his eyes darted all over my face at once
"And now you are going to kiss this same awful tea right out of my mouth" he blurted out and my eyes widened as I struggled to free myself but it was futile, I'm trapped in his tight grip and there's no escaping
"There's no escaping this one, Starlight" he said as if he'd read my thoughts and a light chuckle escaped my lips
"You are mean.... like terribly mean, I hate you" I joaked and he smriks.... pulling my chin upward to meet his burning gaze
"I love you too" he said and my eyes softened for a while, this is the second time he's saying this.....I thought the first one wasn't intentional but now, I don't even know what to feel as I looked at him, his eyes puring affection as my thoughts got interupted with his lips on mine
Yes, I've missed this feeling, this rush of adrenaline running through my veins as he bites and nibbled on my lower lip, feasting on it as a low moan escaped my mouth, he takes that as an advantage to swive his tongue into the deepest region of my mouth, I could literally feel his tongue hitting the dangling thingy at the back of my throat
I groaned as he lifts me up, locking my legs around him as my hands found it's way into his dark brown curls, getting lost in it as tugged on it, playing with it as he ravaged my lips..... our tongue dancing against each other as I opened wide enough to feel every inch of him inside me..... just this feeling alone is driving me nuts
I felt movements as he walked up the stairs, not breaking this kiss as I start running out of air, I didn't want to stop and he doesn't look like he's stoping either as he pushed the door open, getting lost in his world
★★★
Roland walked out of the kitchen and met Delilah entering with a small brown bag in her hand, her smile widens as she walked up to him
"What's in the bag?" Roland asked and she clicks her tongue and hid it behind her
"It's a little present for a special someone" she said with a blue eyes sinking deeply into his
"Your boyfriend's birthday?, I presume" he asked and she chuckles awkwardly
"I don't have a boyfriend" she said throatily and he almost chuckled but suppressed it
The awkward silence lingering as she walked past him and dropped the bag on the counter
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were single" he voiced out to her hearing and she waved her hands whlist smiling
"I'm not offended, besides, I'm not the only one who is single around here" she said with a smirk and he raised his eyebrows, he wanted to say something but Avia's heel's clicking disrupted his thoughts
"Umm, Delilah, I need you to go to the store room and take out the mixed boxes.... please those boxes contains food....raw food and you know what that means?" She narrows her gaze and Delilah nods while walking away.....she stole a glance at Roland but he wasn't looking, his eyes were on his phone and Mika's number was clearly displaying on his screen
★★★
Delilah entered the store room and coughs as dust almost choked her but she managed to spot the boxes pilled up and she groans
If Mika were here she would have been the one to do this but too bad she's dead
"Stupid work!!, Roland I'm only here because of you, and now I'm almost regretting it but it's only a matter of time before I get you and once I do....oh my goodness! " She sequels happily as she claps her hands together
Taking in deep breaths as she carried eight boxes at once, they weren't heavy but it's impossible for her to see what's up front....she tried to walk but almost interwined her legs, causing her to stumble a little but she maintained her stance
"I hate this job with passion!!" She groans angrily as she slowly head for the door, they were six boxes left but she will come back for them after keeping the ones she's holding
She barely made it to the door and her hands started hurting her slightly and she hissed..... staggering from side to side as she slowly gets to the door
"Here, let me help you" a voice said and she sighs in relief as she hands four boxes, remaining four as she smiles
"Oh my, thank you so muuuuuch!!!" Delilah shrieks as the boxes falls from her hand and Mika grinned, holding the four boxes as Delilah couldn't believe her eyes, she stumbled backwards as she fell flat on her butt....her eyes almost bulging out of it's socket
"Surprise to see me?" Mika said with a smirk as she threw the boxes at Delilah and started walking up to her as Delilah crawls backwards on her butt
"No, this isn't happening, no way" Delilah mumbles as fear surged through her and Mika won't stop moving
