Chapter 22

By the time John got home. I already prepared dinner and dessert.

"You are taking Mrs. Trenton job?" he asked when he came in.

I gave her a day to rest,she deserves it.

"Wow it smell amazing".

I served it and place it in the dining table. Ella has been acting weird and was still reading the letter mom wrote to her .

She looked between me and John and asked him a question

"Do you have a girlfriend?". she asked.

I felt like hiding under the table. Will he tell her about us ? we aren't dating, why am I so concerned.

John just laughed it off and smiled.

"Am quite unattached,do you have a boyfriend Ella?".

"No. Are you looking for one? she glanced at me and smiled".

I already know where she was heading to. I got up and drag her to the living room before it get messier.

"Ouch! that hurts, what's was that for"she said rubbing her wrist.

"Show me your letter ".

"Why?"

"I motioned for her to hand it to my hand".

She pulled the note from her back pocket and gave it to me.

"Make sure that Jasmine finds someone that will take care of her. She needs a little extra push. You know what to do".

My mother is a very dubious woman!

The note made me smile,while thinking about what she wrote.

I still pinch Ella in her hand.

"Again,ow am just doing what mom asked me to do".

Shaking my head at her,we walked back to the dining room.

After we finished eating, John started making noise.

"Are you okay,I had to ask, making sure he wasn't reacting to any ingredient inside the food".

"Sorry,it's just that this meal is so delicious,can I share you a secret. it's taste better than Mrs Trenton's meals. He replied making us laughed".

"Total wife material,my sister. Right, John?".

This kid is really pushing her luck tonight. I glared at her to shut up but John made it worst.

"She is already a wifey. Didn't she tell you what happened when we travelling to Las Vegas?" he winked at me.

Ella looked at me with her eyes wide opened.

"What happened,you guys didn't get married Right?! she looked so amazed,but not because we apparently got married,but because we left her out and she didn't know about it".

"No! He made a snotty comment to a saleswoman, that's all." I looked at John and he couldn't hold his laugher.

My cheeks were already red already,so I needed to abort this mission.

I stood and started tidying,at the sight of chores Ella ran off. So it was just me and John.

He came over and started drying the kitchen, he brushed his arm against mine,I thought it was mistake.

Until he did it again and deliberately lean over me with his lips close to mine as he drag one bowl to dry.

He chuckled.

"if your cheeks get any brighter,they will see you from the room",he said.

Asshole.

He knew what he was doing,and I just stuck my tongue a him.

"If you don't want me to tickle you Jasmine,you better put that tongue away".

I ran off.

I could hear his voice through the entire house.
