SINCERE

Michael returned back to the office immediately after dropping them off at home and all through the rest of the day, his mind wandered about the personality of the girl called Jenny.

Betty arrived at 5 pm which was her regular time and he was uncut towards her. He asked her why she did not come earlier like she did the last time. She replied that since special arrangements was not made for the new change in appointment like he did the last time, she reverted back to the regular timing.

Michael did not argue any further. Betty was very transparent in her dealings and he was sure, he was not her only customer. He summoned her to move closer to him as she shredded her jacket and dropped it on the floor. He inhaled her smell and he liked it. Michael always liked his women smelling nice. This was one reason why he disliked the domestic staffs, especially the cooks he had previously hired. Many of them smelled horribly.

Betty always wore expensive body perfumes and they were so appealing to his nostrils. When she reached for his trousers, he was relaxed sitting on the chair. He looked into her eyes and he smiled, giving her the go-ahead to unzip it.

However, he soon realised that as he gazed into Betty's eyes, he wanted to do this with someone else. The person's thought had clouded his senses.

It was Jenny! Jenny the upright and righteous Nanny! The professional educator and MasterChef! Jenny the new assumed mother of his baby girl. Jenny the beautiful woman who displays unusual level of wisdom in every conversation. He wanted her warm mouth wrapped around his organ, giving him maximum pleasure. He wished he could transform Betty into Jenny instantly.

As his mind wandered around his impossible conquest, he noticed that Betty was struggling with his organ but he didn't care. He wanted Jenny at that moment but how could he get her? That question plagued his mind like a rock that couldn't be dismantled. It was looking like a uphill battle trying to pin that woman down. He did not want to marry her as marriage was not on his agenda. All he wanted was her body to give him pleasure, but that sounded so selfish, yet he did not care.

He had the money to throw around but this girl was not interested in any part of his money. What could he buy her that could change her mind? He asked himself repeatedly.

It took Betty a couple of minutes to get his flaccid organ upright. He wondered why that was becoming a problem. He was usually very active whenever he was romanced by a willing and beautiful female. He thought maybe the reason for his reduced libido is because he was struggling to get something that was unattainable.

Returning his focus to the beautiful light skinned goodness who was sucking his organ so hard, he wrapped his hand around her ponytail to give her mouth a thug that he could thrust into, but it wasn't working.

He was finding it difficult to initiate such drive, His organ was gradually loosing its erection. Betty noticed it as she gazed at him loving but he tugged on her hair to continue. As a professional, he watched her apply more saliva and stroke it but all to no avail.

After 15 minutes of intense sucking, stroking and blowing his manhood, it was safe to say, he did not achieve orgasm. Betty looked at him in worry and she asked.

"Would you like me to wear a condom sir?" Michael had never had vaginal intercourse with her. He only received oral sex from her and he wanted it to remain exactly that way.

"No. Please don't bother Betty. You have done more than enough. It's not your fault. My mind is in several places right now. But Thank you for the offer though" Michael said as he quickly tucked his penis back into his shorts and he zipped his trouser.

Afterwards, He opened a drawer beside his desk and brought out her regular 50K.

"But you did not come sir" she protested, refusing to collect the money. A slut with principles he thought.

"It's okay Betty, you can have it."

Taking the money, she appreciated him and proceeded to wearing her jacket.

This was no fault of her. This was his problem. Sex begins in the mind and he knew at that moment, his mind was not at the place to receive any form of pleasure. This was clearly because somebody who knows how to brew the sweetest aroma he had ever perceived and some tasty flavors was holding it in her hands.

He needed to take it back and he had no idea how to go about it. Putting everything he struggled with aside, he worked for a few more hours till almost 7pm.

When he arrived home in the night, he saw an array of arranged decorations in the premises. From heavily decorated bouncing castles that was laced with balloons, to pink coloured towered trampolines. A karaoke stand filled with flowers, Another array of artificial gardens filled the mowed lawns and even the pool was decorated.

He was curious to know how Jenny pulled this off without a professional event planner in the picture. Entering into the house, he was amazed with several cakes on display on the dining table and an extra table was added for more cakes. He counted the cakes and it was 13 large cakes. Tower-like cakes to be precise with hundreds of cupcakes as well. They were so beautiful!

"Daddy good evening" His daughter greeted as she descended down the stairs.

"Good evening beautiful"

Stephanie walked to hug him when he got closer. Her hair was beautifully made and the edges laid perfectly. She almost looked like a woman.

"How's the birthday celebrant doing? How are you feeling?" He asked.

"I am super excited daddy. I can't wait for tomorrow." Stephanie responded smiling.

"Of course I can tell. Where is grandma?"

"Grandma is upstairs. She just finished her manicure and she didn't want anyone to stain it. So Mummy serve her refreshments and she's gone upstairs for the night."

"What about your uncle?"

"Uncle Deji just went out with his girlfriend after dinner"

"Where is Jenny?"

"Mummy is upstairs arranging something she calls a surprise for me."

"Okay"

"Should I get your food ready? I can serve you dinner. You know that right"

"I know Stephanie" he laughed.

"You're such a big girl"

"Exactly! so why not go upstairs, put down your box and I'll serve you a nice dinner in a few minutes"

"Okay ma'am. Its a deal"

He went upstairs to his room, took off his necktie, and dropped his box in the corner of the room. When he walked back out, he considered, dropping by Jenny's room, but decided against it. He also wanted to be surprised as well. So, He went downstairs instead to meet his daughter.

When he returned down to the dining table, Stephanie has dished out a plate of hot Amala and Ewedu filled with huge proteins. When he looked at the time, he discovered it was past 7 pm.

"Stephanie don't you think this is too heavy for dinner?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

"Really? But Daddy, you haven't be eating at home since this week began. I think you need some heavy food. It's good for you"Michael laughed uncontrollably.

"But on a serious note, I think I'll take fruit salad instead and maybe a fish" He said after he had ended his laughter. However, he was still looking amused.

"Okay dad"

"Do we have that?, I mean the fruit salad and fish."

"Of course we do Dad. Mummy always stock this house from top to bottom with food and groceries. There's no kind of food you won't see in this in this house"

"Nice one!"

"So Daddy, please give me a minute"

In three minutes, she bought a plate of over eight different fruits mix together and a properly barbecued fish"

"Who did this?"

"It's mummy and that's what we all had for dinner"

"You guys are enjoying. Jenny is feeding you guys well Michael stated"

"Honey is your Daddy back?.I heard his voice. Stephanie heard Jenny call her from upstairs.

"Yes Mummy. I'm serving him dinner"

"Oh you should've called me" Jenny panicked and hurried down the stairs.

"Good evening sir. Am so sorry"

"Good evening Jenny. You taught her well and she has delivered. Look at my dinner" He said as He lifted up his eyes to look at her.

Suddenly he was struck by what she wore. She was wearing a blue short that exposes her light Skinned thick thighs and a pink singlet. She already made her hair and it was the same style as Stephanie's. She looked so beautiful. Her eyebrows were shaved and she wore no earrings. Without make-up on, she was flawless. Her skin glowed. He gazed at her pink lips and wondered how they would taste or feel.

"Sir would you prefer another dinner?" Michael nodded a "no" in response.

"Should I get you something lighter like fried potatoes to go along with the fish"

Jenny asked.

"No Jenny. This is perfect" Michael replied as he started eating.

"So Mummy what do we do with this meal that Daddy did not eat. Would it be wasted?"

"Of course not honey. there's always someone to eat it. I will just pack it in a can and then I will re-wrap this mode of amala".

"Are you through with wrapping the surprise package that you don't want to show to me?" Stephanie asked giggling

"Yes and its right in my room. You will see it tomorrow at the party"

"i cant wait to be surprised" Stephanie exclaimed.

"Thank you for making this birthday a very unique one Jenny. Its really remarkable, all you have done"

"That's true. Thank you so much Mummy. Daddy we need to increase Mummy's salary."

"Tell me about it. I think I will" Michael replied.

"Honey stop that. I am well paid. Sir. I am even thinking of asking for a salary reduction. You practically do so much for me and i am indebted already. Besides, 80,000 naira is already too much for me. I was thinking of cutting it down to 40,000"

"Jenny who is paying you 80,000 naira?" Jenny was taken aback. She wondered if she was wrong to say it out.

"Am sorry sir. its a mistake" She quickly stated.

"Please tell me that 80k is how much that bloody recruiter Regina pays you?"

Michael growled in anger.

Was the money more? Jenny suspected immediately that it was more.

"Jenny how much is your full salary"

"Sir she helps me to save the rest." Jenny replied, trying to avoid a fracas.

"Jennifer" Michael called her her full name.

"Yes sir"

"How much is Regina paying you?"

"Sir, It's not a big deal at all. She just give me a portion of it so that she can save the rest for me." She smiled, still maintaining the lie.

"Jenny i can smell it when you lie. I can tell you are lying even from thousand mile. I'm not going to ask her, I just want to know, Do you receive 80,000 from her?"

Jenny kept mute.

"You know I could have someone at your bank this very night, print out your account statement." Michael declared, still in anger.

"Yes sir. That is what i receive"

"What?!!!!! I pay 250k every month. if she was going to take something out of it, it should be 10, or 20k and it should not be monthly. Why give you 80,000 naira"

"She's probably saving the rest for me sir" Jenny defended Regina.

"That's a bloody lie. She's not. From today, you will receive your salary directly into your account not some stupid company's account. I will pay you with my own hands and let me see what Regina will do". He hissed.

"Sir i am very sorry. I know you don't like what she did but, but I am most grateful to her"

"But she is cheating you Mummy. That's very dishonest of her and extremely unprofessional. You should not be loyal to her in any way" Stephanie intruded.

"Exactly! Even my 15 year old knows you are being short changed and it is very bad"

Jenny did not want the relationship she has with Regina to go down the drain over financial matters. She was also not happy that Stephanie was in their midst watching the display and having an opinion over her elders.

"Honey don't you want to watch two hours of your favorite television program uninterrupted, before you fall asleep tonight?"

"Yes Mummy" Stephanie screamed.

"Okay, I'll get you some apple pie but you must promise me, that you will brush your teeth afterwards"

" I promised Mummy. I'll brush my teeth afterwards" Stephanie raised her hands in solidarity.

"Let me get you the pie from the oven then you can go upstairs. Remember its for just two hours"

" Yes Mummy"

Jenny carried the tray of Amala and Ewedu from the table and went into the kitchen. She came out few seconds later with a plate of apple pie laced with cream and a bottle of water for Stephanie.

"Thank You Mummy.Good night!"

"I'm coming to pray with you by 9:30pm" Stephanie nodded as she carried her goodies and climbed upstairs.

As Michael slowly ate his fish, Jenny took the next chair besides him as though she wanted to eat with him.

"Sir, I don't think we should crumble the relationship we have with Miss Regina. I'm sorry I couldn't keep my mouth shut"

" I don't know why you're so afraid of her. Who the fuck is she to you? Sorry for the F word but what is she to you?"

"The truth of the matter is when I came into Abuja I had no help. I slept at an old church building site. Regina was the second person who made my stay here in Abuja very promising. She got me this job so, I cannot afford...."

"Okay I would be cordial about it. I will not let the relationship flunk."

" Thank you sir. I would appreciate it" "You're welcome"

"So are you still going home?"

"Yes sir. I would leave on Monday after cooking and filling up the fridge"

" I know Stephanie will definitely miss you.

"Well I will miss her more but I will be gone for just three days. I promise to call her minimum five times or more daily" Michael laughed out loud.

"You really are her mother"

"Well to say the truth, Stephanie makes me feel like i am home. i dont miss my siblings too much whenever I am with her. And I know I have to be responsible to her because she indirectly will copy my attitudes and behaviors"

Michael could not understand how he suddenly felt emotional as Jenny talked. He paused, put down his fork and turned to her.

"I know I've been cruel and annoying. I've been hard and I'm complicated but you always find a way to reach me"

"Thank you sir"

"It's not a compliment. It's a fact. I want something with you. I want something Special with you" He repeated staring deep into her eyes.

"I don't know if you feel it because you do not want a relationship with any of one right now but do you know what? there's something about you that keeps pulling me. I don't know what it is I feel for you. Even when I'm angry with you you're still in my mind." Jenny swallowed her saliva and it was visible with the way she moved her mouth. She felt seduced.

"I do not mean to put pressure on you. But I just want you to think about it. I don't want to remarry. I've been burned badly before. Committed Relationships seemed worse for me as the women I cross across, comes with sword in their hands for my girl. None of them like my child. Some plan to send her so far away from me and they think i don't know. Others would prefer she was in some boarding school. Even the Nanny's I hire, don't like her. But you are so different. You are even making plans for her various entrance examinations into Universities. My child's future matters to you.

"How to do Know that sir?"

"Children never keep quiet. She told me last month".

"I just wanted Stephanie to have some sort of stability. She deserves that after what she has been through. Being without a mother the last six years has a toll on a child"

"I know Jenny"

Michael stretched his hand from his side of the table to touch Jenny's hand, staring into her eyes.

" I don't know what it is, i feel for you. I cannot describe it. You're someone I cannot understand. But all i know, is i want you to be mine. I want you in my life, in my Child's life, not just as a staff. Jenny i want to be intimate with you. Could you please give this a thought?"

Jenny gazed at him as though she was day dreaming. Is Michael in love with her? She asked herself.
