When Pius left in a hurry it kept Jimmy thinking of what could have made his brother so eager to leave the office, as much as he only stayed because of his father he never liked staying late at work unlike Pius who believed that staying extra hours I'm the office will make their father take more notice of his work,so the day was a bit off, but Jimmy wouldn't dwell on it for long as he looked forward to calling Tessa and going out with her on the date, the kiss she gave him before leaving his place left him mesmirized, it left him standing for long and watching the car disappear out of the mansion, her lips were so cool and soft against his lips, he raised his hand and placed his fingertips on the part she kissed before leaving. He doesn't know why but there was this growing feeling he started having for Tessa in his heart, he couldn't stop thinking about her, even as Edward teased him about being lost in the kiss, he didn't give any reply and walked back Inside, throughout the day he
He pretended like he didn't understand her, “what thought are you speaking of, I'm just asking innocently, like the moments we are to have fun”. He said innocently“Yeah right, like I don't know what you mean, anyways, what time should I get ready do I come meet you there just tell me the location”.“There's no need to stress your pretty head about it, I've told you many times,you are too pretty to go on thinking. Just get ready by eight tonight I'll come pick you up, and as for the place, it's a secret”.“No,no,it doesn't work that way, why should it be a secret what if you are trying to kidnap me, how will I be found”.“If I wanted to kidnap you I can do that without getting close to you, but trust me, I want to surprise you”.“Okay fine, I'll be waiting by eight, don't try to play any funny games okay?”.“Yes ma'am”, Jimmy laughed and told her goodbye. That went better than he thought.He heard sounds outside the window and saw that it was going to rain, not a small shower but a he
Jimmy defending Pius did not surprise anybody, but there was this tone of anger as he spoke to his father, Jimmy felt like he should at least cut Pius some slack, that was why he responded that way, Robinson took the hint and went to another part of the house leaving them. But Elizabeth still stood, she would not leave until she knows what put Pius in the condition he was in. Jimmy went on with Pius to his room and helped him get changed, while Elizabeth went to get some hot tea to relieve Pius of the cold, when she came back she saw that he was already settled but not sleeping, he just stared vacantly with a lot of sadness in his eyes, she was so unhappy that her poor boy is suffering from so much, Pius took Jimmy by the hand and spoke softly. “You can go now, I'll be alright”.Jimmy wasn't convinced, “are you sure about that, you want me to leave?, What if you need something?”.“Don't worry, Mom is here and she can assist me with anything”. He squeezed Jimmy's hand and Jimmy squeeze
This isn't Pius, he could engage in any sort of naughty things but not go so far to kill someone or even hold the thought, but he has thought it and now he plans to carry it out, threatening her with his own life. This was too much for her to bear, how could she convince him to forget about the man, it seems he had made up his mind already, and the best she could do is try.“Even if he is not your father, that will be committing murder, and you can't just sweep that under the rug, it would affect and haunt you, I beg you, Pius, discard such heinous thoughts out if your mind before it grows in you and envelopes you, it is a dark thought and not good for you”.“Why did I bother telling you what I want to do in the first place, you are the one that put me in this mess, and you don't want to take care of it, so let me take care of it myself and don't try to stop me from doing things my way”.This was not going well at all, so she decided to try another means“How about this, let me try my
While Mr and Mrs McPherson were busy engaging with Pius, Jimmy went to his room to refresh himself, he had just slumped on the bed to sleep after a very eventful day before he suddenly jumped up, he just remembered that he was supposed to meet with Tessa by eight and it was quarter to ten, he didn't even think if her after he heard the news from Brad, he had been so occupied with getting his brother to safety that he actually forgot about his date with Tessa. She must have waited for him, he picked up his phone only to see that she had tried reaching him a couple of times, he felt so bad, he decided to call her back and explain himself to her. It rang and rang but she wasn't picking up. He understood her anger but felt like she should just pick so they could patch things up. Tired as he was he changed into a pair of shorts and a T-shirt then took a big hoodie to wear on top In case it got too cold outside, since she wasn't picking he'd have to go to her place. He passed by Pius's room
They still continued to talk forgetting that Jimmy was still standing, his legs were aching already and they hadn't offered him a chair to sit down, Tessa had not shown up even when her father said she would and he was already contemplating on coming back the next day when he heard rushing of footsteps and he looked up to see Tessa. “Jimmy, you are here”.Her parents left them alone and she asked him to follow her to her room. He didn't move because he did not think it was a good idea to go Into her room when her parents were around, the father has been enough and Jimmy does not think that any father would appreciate a young man going into his daughter's room. Tessa read his thoughts, “Don't worry about anything, my parents are cool”.Jimmy followed her to the room, it was really beautiful and very decorated the way any girls room would be decorated, the colors were not the popular pink though, but had a mixture of peach and brown, which gave the room a very beautiful appearance.“I'm
Tessa looked at Jimmy with her pretty eyes, it was really wonderful how understanding he was, saying he wanted to take things slow, which means she was under no pressure to do anything with him until she was ready, but the way it was going earlier it looked like she was more than ready to do anything with him, he was the one that dared to stop and not her. For that she was grateful, she saw how he struggled to compose himself.“Did you like it, Jimmy?”.Jimmy was confused, what kind of question was she throwing at him?“I'm asking if you liked the kiss we just shared or if you liked what we were about to do”.Jimmy sighed, now he understands what she was saying, “You have no idea, Tessa, you have no idea how much I love it, it was just the sweetest thing, but like I said before, I want to take things slow with you. You are special to me”. He said touching her cheeks which made her smile and blush, he stood up and straightened the hoodie he was wearing.“It's late now Tessa and I have
She looked more beautiful with her tousled hair and all, “good morning, did you sleep well?”, She asked him.“No, I didn't, you had your weight on me the entire night so it was hard for me to sleep”. He joked, but truthfully he didn't feel her weight at all just her softness.“Why didn't you tell me, I would have moved away from you”.“I'm joking, I enjoyed my night, and I wish we could do it more often, so I need to get out of here before your parents see me and slice my head off”. He hurriedly put on his clothes.When he was done, she followed him outside her room and downstairs, to both their surprise they met her parents sitting as if they were waiting for them. Tessa wasn't expecting them to be up this early and out of their room for that matter.“Mom, dad why are you both up so early?”. She asked uncomfortably.It was her dad that spoke first, “Tessa, go back to your room now, your mother and I would like to have a word with this gentleman”.Tessa almost protested, she wanted to
