I quickly kicked him off the bed and asked "What are you doing here on my bed naked." I realized I was half naked so I sent him out of the room. I didn't remember how he got to my house and bed, I was confused with thoughts flowing in my brain.
"Jasmine, do you remember what happened last night? Did we….."
"Shut up Owen, we didn't do anything, and get out of my house immediately."
I felt guilty since I was married and how the old man would be disappointed if he saw me right now. My conscience kept judging me the whole weekend so I went to the villa to save my marriage again. I was not surprised to see Nicolas passionately making love with another girl in the pool. I threw my wedding ring at him and run out of the villa crying. I went to the grave of his dad and wept my eyes out.
I was supposed to divorce him without taking the hospital the dad gave to me after he died but seeing how he was wasting the money on ladies, I was not leaving that hospital for him to destroy. The Court summoned us in two weeks and we had a peaceful divorce but I got my hospital. I wished I could take everything his dad left him because I knew he would misuse them and forget his dad's hard work.
"Jasmine, we are colleagues in the same department, you can't ignore me forever. It has been two weeks after the incident and you always ignore me at work."
"Owen I'm not ignoring you, I had to prepare for my divorce and we are just friends so nothing happened. I don't remember that day but I know nothing happened because I'm not attracted to you sexually."
"Jasmine but when I got home I felt weak as if something got out of my body that night. I think I ejaculated and since you were the only one there I am sure something entered you to so check after work."
"You are out of your mind Owen, how did I even get close to you?"
"Jasmine when you check and realize some went inside, if you don't like it please put it in a container and bring it to me so I can sell it to the fertility center in the hospital."
I laughed at his jokes and entered my office feeling happy. I asked myself "Did he intentionally do that to see me smile after the court section but he did know I went today." I went to the Lemont Hospital, the hospital I got from the old man on my off day to meet the executives and the other shareholders. I had a good time with the board but they insisted I come work at the hospital. I assured them I would join them in no time. The director called Owen and me to his office.
"I need you two to travel to our branch in Asia, they need your expertise to help them do open-heart surgery. You are to leave tomorrow, please don't disappoint me."
We got on a plane to Korea, we were welcomed well and given accommodation in the same apartment. I went out to explore the country since it was the first time I tried some of their foods and beers. I was opened to a new experience, how their guys were romantic on the street. it was nice to watch.
I woke up the next morning with an upset stomach so Owen went to the hospital while I was reading the patient's medical record at home. Owen came back with a frowning face,
"What happened, why are you angry?"
"Do you know the extra work I had to do because of your absence, next time know what to eat and drink when you enter a new environment. I'm not making this sacrifice again."
That was the first time I saw him pissed so I apologized sincerely and prepared dinner for him to put smiles back on his face. We went to the hospital for the surgery, I was about to enter the elevator when the door slammed my hand. I was taken to the emergency ward and treated but now Owen was the only one available to do the surgery. We could not call the director since he was clear he didn't want any disappointments.
The look on Owen's face was a little funny but I couldn't laugh because we were both in deep shit. I had no choice but to join him with one hand. It was a long 6 hours but we had a successful surgery, I hugged him happily for saving both of us. I suggested we go clubbing since it was a stressful day.
"Jasmine clubbing again, don't you remember what happened the last time we went clubbing? I won't take that risk for you to ignore me again."
"We will be careful this time so don't worry."
"Let's buy some drinks and snacks on our way home and go to the apartment. You injured your left hand also, clubbing will make it worse so let's go home."
While we were watching a movie I asked him….
"Owen, why are the medical residents running away anytime they see you? I know you are not a hush person"
"I taught them in medical school some years back and I was different back then but have changed now, they just don't know that."
He threw more light on his teaching experience in the medical school. Our bond became much stronger and it was the perfect time for a kiss especially when the movie we were watching had a lot of kissing scenes. I felt his hands around my shoulder gazing at me he said
"Did I ever tell you that you are the prettiest person I have ever met?"
"No, you haven't and I don't believe it anyway."
He continued staring at me, slowly coming closer, he kissed me. I yearned for a man's touch in a long time but I pushed him away and went to my room.
"Jasmine! Please open the door I want to apologize."
"Jasmine I am sorry, it was not my intention. Your personality turns me on"
"Owen don't worry, it is fine. I just don't trust guys anymore that is why I pushed you away."
"Don't trust me Jasmine, trust your heart. Have a good night"
I heard him from behind, I kissed him and made love to him without thinking.
