17. Caught Ogling

"OK tell them I will be there in thirty minutes." the call ended and Bryan turned and noticed Alexa looking at him.

She coughed and with a shy she looked away.

"You should freshen up, today has been hectic for you as well." he said while pulling his shirt now.

As Bryan took off his shirt, he noticed Alexa looked away. He wondered for a short while if she has not seen a man undressed before. He smirked as he continued taken off his shirt.

In just a few seconds, Bryan's upper part of his body was bare and Alexa stole some gazes.

She was left drooling as her eyes trailed down his body from his neck to his firm chest. Then her gaze moved to his well structured six pack abs.

Alexa could tell that he exercised well enough to keep those moulds in shape. Just as her eyes moved further downwards, she heard Bryan speak.

"Do you like what you are seeing or you have not had enough of me?" Bryan asked with an amused grin on his handsome face.

"Yes," Alexa answered absent mindedly.

Her eyes widened as she realized what she just said. She had just admitted that she was ogling at him and also agreed that she liked what she saw.

'Gosh, Alexa. Get a grip of yourself,' she mentally scolded herself.

Her face was as red a tomato as she cleared her throat and averted her eyes down to her hands.

"I mean, no," she changed her words.

"No? Does that mean that you want to continue staring at me?" Bryan asked. He was finding it hard to hold in his laughter.

"What? No. That is not what I meant," she tried to defend herself.

"Really? But that is not want I think you meant. You just said so yourself when I asked. You like my body and you want to see... even more," he added the last part after a quick pause.

"That is not what I meant. I was not even staring at you not to talk of even liking your body and wanting to see more," Alexa denied flatly.

"Are you sure? wife." Bryan slowly seductively asked as he moved closer to her.

Alexa tried to stand her ground, still denying that yes she did not want anything to do with his body. Bryan closely moved towards her and looked her in the eyes. She removed her face from lookin straight into his eyes.

He lifted up her chin, as her face rose up, she looked at Bryan, not only noticing that her boss was amazing but he had a lovely set of brown eyes which from far somehow looked dark but still it was pretty.

"Relax girl, I do not bite nor am I a monster." he chuckled and let her be as he walked towards the bathroom for a quick shower.

The door was slightly opened, as Alexa trued to get hold of her breathe, she decided to get her bag to see if she had missed calls from her mom and brother.

She then noticed Bryan was about to take off his pants. She was so shocked as she hurried and shut the bathroom door.

"Can I survive this?" she asked herself in despair as her heart kept racing so fast it was about to burst out of her chest.

Handling her phone in her hands still well dressed and as decided to not change till Bryan was completely out of the house. She saw missed calls. Some from her best friend from school, a close colleague of hers from her place of work who got hired the same time as she and the other from Jerry.

But the call that got her attention the most was the car from her long time friend Patrica.

She was dying to call her back though but she had to check up on her mom so she called Jerry.

In a few rings, the call got connected and Jerry's voice rang out from the phone.

"Hey, sis. What's up?" He asked.

"Yeah I saw your missed call. I am sorry I could not pick up I was so busy with work and stuff. So tell me, how is mom? can I talk to her?" Alexa asked.

"Oh I am sorry to have stressed you when you were at work, wish that work could give you a break but yeah yeah I know we need the money. Mom is OK she has actually slept off. They gave her some food and some drugs and she felt dizzy again and slept off." Jerry replied.

"I guess is the effect of the drugs, they are the ones making her drowsy. Anyways she needs her rest. If not for moms illness you remember quite well that she is a workaholic. She is never tired." Alexa said.

"Like a friend of mine will always say, 'the only good thing about sickness is that you tend to be in one place and really rest your body,' I always did not agree with him though." Alexa said while she laughed a bit.

"Yeah you are right in a way, mom needs to rest well." Jerry answered and continued.

"Since you have lots of work to cover up for the time you were here, are you sure you can come back to the hospital? visiting period will soon be over." Jerry asked.

"Well if I can not make it today i will definitely come tomorrow during lunch hour and I will bring tour favourite hamburger and sausage for you OK?" Alexa said smiling.

"Great please do not forget OK? and do not worry yourself I am here to take care of mom." Jerry assured her.

"I will be staying at a friend's place that is close to work later at night because i will work late and sleep at her place so I can resume early tomorrow OK?"

"That is fine." jerry replied.

"When mom is up call me so I say hello OK? kisses brother and bye." Alexa said.

"Kisses sis, talk to you later." Jerry cuts the call.

Alexa was standing staring at the phone when she got scared at the sight of Bryan from the mirror he stood by the bathroom door with his towel on and asked.

"Are you OK?"
