Seducing My Husband

It's Progress

Zaiden's POV

"What?!"

"You are the Man I love, Jason." I said

His hazel eyes widened in shock.

"Jason, say something" I asked. He didn't realized that he didn't even uttered a word after my revelation.

"I....I don't know what to say" he said without looking at me, staring at his palms like it's the most interesting thing in the world, providing me an opportunity to look at him all I want.

The chocolate brown bouncy hair that tempts me to touch and feel them. It always appears to be soft and shiny. The tanned glowing skin, the sharp nose, tight jawline and red thin lips, his abs that are not ready to hide in that black t-shirt he is wearing, everything about him is alluring and this man has no clue about the ways he can affect me.

"Well, will you atleast consider my proposal and think about marriage?" I asked folding my arms across my chest.

"Whoa whoa, Marriage!?"

"Yes Jason. You know both our families are worried about our future. If I'm not wrong, you are afraid to love and that someone may break your heart again. Trust me I won't. I'm ready for commitment and I promise, I will be a loyal partner. I feel safe about you becoming my better half"

"I will take care of your family as mine. In return I'm expecting the same from you. I'm not saying you have to be a perfect husband, should be lovey dovey and all that. I believe we will eventually go there. I would try to be a good husband. All these days I loved you from distance. It will be a whole different story, when we will be 24/7 around each other. We may have difference of opinion. We may fight and all that is there. It may not be a cake walk. But I believe we will have our own happy story. Even if it doesn't happen, you wanna walk out of this, I will support your decision. No worries. No pressure on you. But I'm just asking you to give us a chance."

"I don't know what to say, Zaiden. You are a good guy." He said.

Oh my god,  why I feel like there is, a but

"But .."

There he said. No no no. don't reject me. don't reject me

"But this is so....so surprising. You know.." He said.

Surprised? surprised is a good feeling.  Ok ..Why is he looking at me like that. Oh I should say something now

"You don't have to worry just think about it and let me know." I said.

He just nodded.

"Also I wanted to say, If you agree to this our families doesn't need to know that we don't love each other. It might hurt them. So no one, but us should know about our.. our situation."

" Mhmm. You caught me there by making me advocate to confess your love. Still marriage is a big decision. I will think about it. I want to go home, now" he said

"Okay. I will drop you." I said.

"No its not necessary. I can manage "

"Come on you didn't bring your car, because, I insisted that we will go together. A gentleman will always make sure, that his date reaches home safely. "

"Date?" he questioned, his cheeks going all shades of red.

"Well you are my date, in my head atleast .Your home is on the way to mine. I will drop you, unless you don't want me to" that line worked for me

"It's nothing like that. I will go with you" he said.

The entire ride he kept quietly gazing outside the window.

"Thank you for the ride, Zaiden. Drive home safely." he said.

That adorable man. It took everything in me to not move forward and kiss this beautiful creature.

"Bye. Take care" I said.

He nodded looking at me. How much I wanna drown myself in those hazel eyes. He got down from the car and moved towards his house, while I kept staring at his leaving figure.This man is really clueless about what he is doing to me.

I drove back home with his thoughts flooding my mind. Why would someone like him not seek the opportunity to be happy?

Like hell I would give up on him, after all this. I will persuade until I hear a Yes from him.

I reached home, showered and directly went to bed, to take the much needed sleep. After confessing to him about my love, I'm relieved

Through my balcony view, I saw a shooting star falling down.

'Please consider the proposal , Jason. We all could be happy '  I fell asleep with that thought.

--‐-------------------‐‐‐------------------------------

The next morning when I woke up, I immediately searched for my phone. All I wanted to see was his text in my inbox. May be a big fat Yes from him.

Disappointment filled my heart, seeing no text from him.

May be I should have texted first, started a conversation with him. No, he would have freaked out. I should think about something else. I should find some reason to call him.

I can call and ask him about Annual Christmas party arrangement. Yes, that will be good.

I dialed his number and waiting for him to pick-up. Only then I checked the time.

Shit! it's eight'o clock. Which stupid boss will call his assistant this early on a weekend

"Hello" I heard a girl speaking from other end.

"Hello" I replied with a frown.

"Mr.Banes this is Jason's sister speaking. Sorry he can't talk right now."

what, is he avoiding me or something

"Anything important Mr.Banes? Do you want me to pass any message to him? Actually he is not well. He is resting" she broke my train of thoughts

"What?! What happened to him "

" He is having a fever. I'm planning to take him to a doctor, today." she sighed

" No. Don't worry. I'm coming right now. I will bring the doctor with me."

"Ok.... Thank you"

I hurried to his home. I called my friend Melissa, she is a doctor. I texted Jason's address and asked her to be there.

By the time, I reached his home, Melissa also reached the place.

"Zaid, you sounded worried? what happened?" she asked hugging me

"Mel, It's Jason. He is not well. I have no idea, what happened. He was alright, yesterday "

"Don't worry. Let's go and check what happened . Alright " she said

I nodded.

His sister Alisha is the who opened the door for us.

"Ms DeNova, This is my friend Melissa. She is a doctor. "

"Thank you so much for doing this Mr.Banes. So kind of you. Please come in, come in doctor."

" Oh its nothing. And call me Zaiden, please. Where is your brother?"

"yeah. this way please."

There he is lying peacefully at his bed, after terrifying me like this.

Way to go, my love.

"He is having a fever. Temperature 101 degree F. " informed Alisha

"Hello Mr.De Nova. I'm Dr.Melissa Smith.." Mel introduced herself and probed him to get know the symptoms and checked him.

"This is due to tiredness Mr.De Nova. I suggest you take good rest. I will prescribe medicines. Zaid was really worried about you, you know. Don't worry Zaid, he will be alright in a day or two. Otherwise, call me" Mel said making his sister throw a questioning look at my way.

His eyes found mine and he smiled at me. He seems to be really tired, yet very handsome.

Stop it Zaiden.  This is so not the time .

"Alright. Get well soon Mr.De Nova. I will get going"

"Thank you Doctor"

"I will see you to the door, Mel"

"sure." she said with a smirk

"So?" she wiggled her eyebrows

"Mel, what were you thinking saying, 'Don't worry Zaid' infront of them"

"Why? something wrong with that ?"

"God Mel, only he knows. Only yesterday I confessed"

"Well his sister knows now. I made the job easy for you guys"

"He didn't agreed"

"Yet, he didn't agreed yet. I don't think he will say no to you. I mean, by the way he was smiling at you earlier, the guy likes you stupid. Don't think I didn't caught you guys" she said

"Now stop being a drama queen and take care of your man. Bye. Have fun" she winked

"Yeah yeah whatever. thank you for today"

"Anything for you, Darling"

I went inside the house after seeing her off.

Jason and Alisha were talking with each other.

"Hey" he said

"Hey, how are you feeling?"

"It's nothing serious. I'm okay. "

"Zaiden, what would you like to have, tea or coffee?" Alisha asked

"He prefers Coffee and Al, strong coffee, sugar two spoon" he answered for me

"Okay" she said and went away leaving us both.

"So, what happened Mr.De Nova ? why are you not taking care of yourself "

"Just worried about Grandma. Two days ago, Mike came home."

Mike! his ex Mike! what the f**k does he want now?

"He came to invite me for his marriage" he said

"What the... the audacity of that bastard. What did you do? Please tell me, you did something to show him his place"

"Well I did" his sister said entering with our coffees

"Good. Atleast someone is there to do the job perfectly. You can't do that, Jason. You can't let people put down and step on you like that"

"Zaiden, I didn't got the opportunity to say something. Al went ballistic. Trust me An angry Alisha is a nightmare. She called him names. Said she should clean the place he sat on. She didn't even spared his fiance"

Good thing my precious man have someone like her on his side.

"And why should I? That characterless b***h have the guts to show up at my place, digging up old wounds and trying to hurt my brother. And his fiance that desperate hoe, she seduced this Mike b***h when he was still my brother's boyfriend. They are really a match. Mike that gold digger went crawling to her when we were bankrupt, the hoe happily waiting to catch him. Wait until they find another..."

"Al! NO! Don't do that. We are better than them. Sorry that you have to hear all this. My sister is unstoppable when her over-protective instincts kicks in" he said looking at me.

His sister rolled her eyes at his comment.

Note to self. Never mess with Jason. I only have the intentions to love him, anyways.

"Well, I don't completely disagree with her. Sisters do get over-protective when people hurt us. Mine is no different , if not more she is equally sassy" I said.

He chuckled at that.

"Alright, you two have fun. I'm preparing lunch. Zaiden you are having lunch with us"

"No its ok. you don't have to"

"No. You are having lunch with us. You can leave after that, if you want " she said and winked at him his cheeks turned red at her comment

what is she implying? Is he blushing? Oh!

She knows, of course from Mel's comment she would have guessed something, if not sure.

"Stay for lunch" he said looking at me

"You want me to leave after that" I asked winking at him.

" Relax. your sister knows?"

"No. I didn't told her yet."

Yet. He is considering to discuss with her. it's progress. God it's progress.

"You said our situation should not be revealed to them. So I will not say anything to her until I give you my answer"

Oh my good lord! that's awesome.  he is seriously considering.  I'm planning my wedding ladies and gentlemen !

"Sure. you take rest. I will wake you up when the lunch is ready"

"No its ok."

"No. You rest here. I will go and help your sister. yeah?"

"Ok." he said

I kissed his forehead and covered his blanket over him, making him blush again.

Oh my god! I kissed him. it's f*****g progress .
