CHAPTER 15

Nick's POV

While he was kissing my neck, I pushed him after I smelled his hair that he hasn't showered yet.

"Shower first." I told him.

"Fine." Sounding so disappointed.

While he was in the shower, I called Stephen. He told me that he is eating well and playing most of the time with his friends. He also understood why I can't be home tonight so I made a promise to him that I will cook him his favorite fried chicken. He even shouted yay on the phone. After the phone call, I stared at his photo first and suddenly I felt sleepy and dozed off.

Jay's POV

After I have my shower which took me a long time because I had to shave, I saw Nick sleeping peacefully under the blanket.

'Ugh! I thought this is it!' I told myself.

I go near him and see his peaceful face that I don't even imagine I was going to see, he didn't eve look like he didn't nagged me all day long.

'I wish this is the face i would see everyday welcoming me into my office.'

I put on a clothes first before going to bed.

I gave him a head rub before sleeping. Well I'm not sur if this is the last time I'm going to be beside him sleeping together peacefully.

The Next Day...

I woke up having a light feeling on my head. But I didn't see Jay beside me. ‘Where could the man go?’ I tell myself. I walked u to the bathroom and wash up as I’m also going home today.

After I wash up, I picked clothes for myself on Jay’s wardrobe and chose to have his sweater and loose pants. The sweater was so big it looses slightly on my shoulders. I came down the stairs and when I was half the way I smelled burnt food on the kitchen. Thinking it was left, I ran as fast as I could to save Jay’s kitchen from burning.

When I arrived at the kitchen Jay was standing away from the burning food and was coughing due to the smoke. I took him outside the kitchen. When I reached the stove, I immediately turned it off so that the pan won’t give off smoke anymore.

“Give me water!” I shout to him.

When I got the water seconds later, I poured it on the pan to stop the smoke.

When the pan wasn’t smoking anymore, I turned around to him. I took a deep breath before speaking.

“What were you doing?” I speak as I try not to raise my voice at him.

“I-I was just…” he answered like a scared cat.

“Did you know you could burn your house and burn the whole d*mn building?”

He shakes his head in approval.

“Do you think you can still live your luxurious life if you burn the whole building?”

He shakes his head again.

“What were you doing?” I asked him.

“I was just trying to make us a breakfast but…”

“But what?” I interrupted him.

“But I don’t know how to cook.” He sealed his mouth shut after he spoke.

“You didn’t know how to cook but you cooked. For what huh? To impress? To what? If you were trying to impress someone make sure to know what are you doing first okay? Make sure that you know the whole d*mn thing before getting into it okay?!” I raised my voice a bit and he nods.

“My gosh Jay, you’re nearly 30 and you still do things like this?” I shook my head from so much disappointment.

He stays silent.

“If you don’t know about a thing make sure to call someone and not do it in your own. Didn’t you know the saying ‘ask if you don’t know the matter.’”

After I scold him, I turned to the burnt food. After it cooled down a bit, I put it on the sink.

“Do you still have pan?” he nods and points at the cabinet below.

I decided to make us breakfast with fried eggs and sausages with fried rice. Typical Filipino breakfast.

After I cook our breakfast, I put it on the table. I was surprised by the coffee ‘coz I thought that he can’t even make a coffee.

“Sorry. I’m very sorry.” He back hugged and put his head on my shoulder as he apologizes.

“Fine. Just call me or someone to cook for you before I can even see you on the streets asking for money, okay?” he nods and pecks a kiss on my neck.

I was stunned for the meantime and stood still.

I just came back to reverie when someone was flicking their hands at me and it was Jay.

“You okay?”

“Yeah,” I nod “let’s eat.”

Breakfast was so awkward between us.

“I’m really sorry about that. I was just trying to make us a breakfast and it’s true…” he pauses and sips on his coffee. “I wanted to impress you but it seems I failed.” I saw disappointment in his eyes.

“It’s fine now, just remember what I said earlier.” I said without looking at him as I was focusing on my food.

“By the way I’m going home today.” I said.

“Okay, I’m going to drive you home then after our breakfast.” He presented.

“No, I can commute.”

“No, you’re going with me.” He refuses.

I just focused on my food. After I finished my food, I put our dishes on the sink and wash it. Jay then told me that he’s going to take a bath upstairs.

After I finish washing the dishes, I go up to his room to see if he was ready to go. I knocked on the door. No one answered. So I opened it and thankfully it was open.

When I entered, I carefully close the door.

“Nick?” I called him. Before turning around.

“Yes?” he answered.

“Are you read…” my eyes went from his toes going up to his towel and abdomen that was still wet as bits of water was coming down from it. When I got to his face he was smirking to me.

“Are you checking me out?” my face got red from his accusation.

“No… no! I mean no…”

“Seems like you were.” He said in a low voice but was enough for me to hear. He went near me and when his face was just and inch or two, I backed up until I was pinned to the door by a half naked 6 foot tall man.

“You know, I like it when you’re checking me out.” He whispered unto my ears.

I swallowed so hard that I am nervous that he heard that.

He neared his face to mine and when I closed my eyes a picture just corrupted my brain that sent me into deep sleep.
