When my best friend came home
1156 Words
Jason's POV
"Jeez, Sugarplum what happened to you" my best friend Amy exclaimed, from the entrance of my room.
She rushed inside the room looking at me with a concerned expression, her beige color tote bag slipping from her shoulder due to that. She was holding her niece hope's hand with hers and dragged her inside, making the kid pout.
"Amy, I am okay girl. I was sick yesterday. Today, I am totally fine. I'm resting, because of Al. Today, She didn't allowed me to cook or clean. All I have got to do is eat and sleep."
Amy touched my forehead to check the temperature and only then she relaxed.
"Happy Mama bear? See, I told you I am fine"
she sat next to me and sighed. I turned to our silent spectator.
"Hey baby doll, what's up?"
"I'm cool Uncle J. How are you feeling now? Amy was worried when Al called. I was worried too"
"Awe. Sweetie. I'm totally fine. I had a fever yesterday. That's it. Al and Amy worries over nothing, out of habit. You know, they can't help it. I'm fit and fine. Do I look sick?" I questioned het
"Not at all, You like handsome" she said crossing her arms and looking at Amy, with a challenging look, making me throw my head back and laugh.
I'm Hope's favorite. But it's a secret. I can't know that, because hope didn't want me to know.
Cute right?
"Hope can you go and help Al, if she need something, Your uncle J is not well, someone has to help her."
she dismissed the girl and I frowned at that.
"I came to know a guy visited your sanctuary, Mr. Saint. When did you started bringing new guys home. I'm happy with your behavior change. But you could have told me. Who is this guy? someone I know?"
"Who told you that?"
"That's not the question. Who is he?"
"He is my boss. I didn't bring him home. He visited to see if I'm ok"
"And ?"
"And what Amy? Its nothing special. He called me yesterday for something and came to know that I was sick"
"And the Romeo came running to you.?"
I blushed hearing that. God these girls are unbelievable.
"Hey. he was just helping us. Al was taking care of me and Grandma, alone. He just wanted to help. Nothing else"
"I can tell when you lie. Al was right. You are definitely hiding something"
"Leave him alone Amy. Uncle J is not well. We shouldn't bother someone when they are sick. Right J?" Hope came back and sat next to me.
"See, she is very understanding . I love you, sweetie" I said
"Told you! I'm his favorite " hope proudly announced her aunt.
"Alright tell me something. The guy, your boss. I have seen his pictures in the news and magazines. He looks very average. Al said the guy who visited was handsome. Are you both talking about the same guy?"
"Average you said! the guy can be a hot f*****g model, if he wants " I blurted out
she smirked, making me realize what I said.
shit. good going Jason. And hot? you find Zaiden hot!
"Good. Now we are talking. Tell me more."
"Well,That's the truth. He is a good looking guy. " I sighed
"Amy, nothing is going on. Ok. Don't believe whatever Al said. Why would I hide anything from you" I lied through my teeth.
Well technically it's nothing.
"Alright sugarcake. Deny all you want. I will catch your lies soon. Since someone is here to keep you company, I will go help Al" Amy said while making faces at her niece, the kid returned the gesture happily.
Lying to Amy is not my cup of tea. God if I let her go on with it, she would have made me spill the beans. I even said Zaiden is hot.
Wait, I find him hot!. Jason stop thinking like that . She made you say that. I was just defending him, right. Ok he is hot. but it's doesn't matter.
Note to self. Avoid discussing about Zaiden with Amy.
"So?" hope asked with an expectant look
"Yes sweetheart? what is it?" I asked turning to looking directly at her
"Are you gonna tell me?" She asked
"About what sweetheart ?"
"You are definitely bothered about something right. You can talk to me Uncle J. I won't tell them"
Is this girl really 8 years old?
"Sweetie, I ain't got anything to be bothered about."
"You ain't believe me. do you Uncle J?" she sniffed
Awe this sweet precious little girl is a spitting image of her mother and her aunt. With her dusky skin, doe eyes, black straight hair, she look exactly like her mother and aunt, when they were kids. I can never see her cry
"Baby doll. don't cry. I can't bear to see you cry. Ok here is the deal. I will tell you one thing, which I didn't told them. Okay"
"Because I'm your favorite?" she asked
"Yes sweetheart. You are" I messed her hair, to which she giggled
" Remember the guy they were talking about?"
she nodded
"Well, he told me that I look handsome"
"And?"
this girl is her aunt's carbon copy in every way.
"That's it."
"That's it? that's no big deal. " she pouted
"shh. It is, for them atleast. I ain't gonna tell them. you shouldn't too. you promised me remember?" I whispered
"ok. can I see his picture?" she whispered back.
"Yeah, why?"
"Cause Amy told he is average and you said he is hot. I wanna know ."
"Alright, But it's a secret. Ok? You can't tell Amy and Al."
I googled and showed his images to her. she looked at image and then at me.
"He is looking good, J. you were right. Amy was wrong" she grinned.
"Alright. Let's go and get some muffins for you from the kitchen" I said and she jumped out of the bed and dragged me with her.
Definitely her aunt's carbon copy.
--------------------------------
I was lying in my bed and thinking about tomorrow. Tomorrow I have to go to office and should be with him the entire day.
How Am I gonna face him? Wouldn't it be awkward?
I never thought something like this will happen. Someone like him will choose me, with the hope to be happy with me forever, to be loyal to me forever, to start a family with me.
But the question is, Can I take that one step towards him, to start a journey of forever. Do I deserve all this?
Im afraid to take that one step towards him. Why wouldn't I be afraid. He is trying to bring hopes, that are too good to be true.
My phone buzzed, bringing me out of my thoughts. It's a text from him
