Chapter 52 Ankle Touch
MIA
"I want to leave. I don't want to be here either."
She loosened her grip.
"The fuck are you saying?"
"I want to....."
"Ma'am, please step away from the nanny." Rowland's familiar voice interrupted.
He is walking into the kitchen while staring at Jay Jay's mom.
She withdrew her hand from my jaw as she faced him.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" she asked.
"Ma'am....."
"Leave," she retorted.
He didn't obey but moved his eyes to me.
"I will escort you to your room." He said.
"Excuse me?" Jay Jay's mom asked. "I said leave!" she yelled, pointing at the entrance.
Rowland looked at her boldly.
She is glaring at him.
"I just saw you manhandling the nanny and I was given strict instructions by the boss to report to him whenever you or anyone tries anything with her."
I fiddled with my fingers as I stared at them.
Jay Jay's mom is fuming.
"If you don't want to get into trouble, step aside or I will tell him what I just saw," Rowland said.
She scoffed in disbelief as Rowland's eyes moved to me.
"Let's go," he said.
I nodded slightly, moving my eyes to Jay Jay's mom momentarily.
She is clenching her jaw and still glaring at Rowland.
I walked past her as Rowland led the way. I walked past him and he followed me behind.
I let out a sigh as I headed for the stairs while thinking about what Rowland said back in the kitchen.
"I just saw you manhandling the nanny and I was given strict instructions by the boss to report to him whenever you or anyone tries anything with her."
He is protecting me again.
Isn't that too much protection for something you just want to use for fun and toss away?
Why is he doing this?
Jay Jay's mom would have helped leave this place.
I need to go back to her. She is the perfect person to help me.
She thinks I am her competition.
I am not.
I really don't want to be here.
I really don't.
NIGHT HOURS.......
I walked out of my bathroom dressed in my nightgown.
I looked around my room but didn't find anyone.
He would be seated on my couch or bed like he used to, smoking his big brown cigar and waiting for me.
But he is not here.
I held my robe together as I walked towards my bed and sat on it. I got under the duvet and rested my back on the headboard.
Why does his absence feel odd?
I haven't seen him since I ran out of the hall.
Well, I didn't even leave my room at all. Rowland stood at my door for so long. He didn't let me go out. Plus he made me eat lunch and dinner here.
I bet he is still at my door right now.
Why is that? The boss's instructions?
Now I can't get Jay Jay's mom to help me.
I have to wait till tomorrow.
I let out a sigh, running my fingers through my hair.
I looked at the alarm clock on my nightstand.
It is almost eleven pm.
The time duration the boss gave me is here.
What if he comes in any moment from now?
I am going to do what I planned which is to fight.
I can't let him have his way with me.
No.
I moved my eyes to the CCTV. The red light is still as bright as ever.
I averted my eyes from it and heaved a sigh as Jay Jay came to my mind.
I miss him so much.
I rubbed my palm on the empty side of my bed.
My little best friend.
I lay properly on my side, still rubbing the space sluggishly. I moved my eyes to the bathroom door.
The wall next to the bathroom.
The way he picked me up and pinned me against the wall.
The kiss and.....
I turned and lay on my back, staring at the ceiling.
He dropped me on the bed and grabbed my ankle.
I turned to the other side, shutting my eyes as I struggled to suppress the memory.
His tongue circling my clit and.....
I clenched my legs together but recalled the way he flipped me and put his mouth on my.....
God, Mia stop.
What are you thinking? Stop this.
I lay on my back and rested my two hands on my forehead, closing my eyes and opening them.
I let out a breath.
"He is not a genuine person, Mia," I muttered. "He just wants to play around. And he is a dangerous man."
I lowered my hands from my forehead and placed them on my belly.
I miss my home. My mom and Vicky.
I wish I could see them.
How do I leave this place?
How?
NEXT DAY.......
I moved the strands of my hair behind my ear as I stared at the bright day through my windows.
I am standing close to the window while holding the curtains slightly open and dressed in a white and peach dress and my hair tied in a messy pony.
It is a new day and the morning looks very beautiful from here.
The pool is tempting. It reminds me of the last time I was there with Jay Jay. But his father was watching us.
About his father, he didn't show up last night as I expected.
Now, I have eaten breakfast and it will be noon in an hour. I still haven't seen him.
I wonder where he is.
I don't know if he is okay.
Why am I even worried about that?
I should be glad he didn't show up.
What is wrong with me?
A knock came on my door, making me look at it.
The knock came again.
Rowland? That must be him.
I walked towards the door and opened it.
My heart fluttered with Joy at the sight of Jay Jay in Coco's arms.
"Hey," Coco said, smiling.
"Jay Jay!" I squealed happily as I reached for him.
He laughed happily getting into my hands.
Coco and I chuckled as she walked in and Rowland closed the door from outside.
I kissed Jay Jay's cheeks several times and happily, making him laugh as his tiny hands held his face.
"Aw. He is happy to see you too." Coco said, smiling.
I chuckled as I moved to the bed and sat on it, still enjoying my reunion with my bestie.
I sat him on the bed as I knelt on the floor while playing with his hands.
"I miss you so much, Jay Jay. Did you miss me, big guy?"
He smiled.
"Aw," Coco said.
I chuckled.
"Of course he misses you. It is written all over his adorable face. Isn't it, sweetie?" Coco asked Jay Jay playfully.
I chuckled as I got on my feet, picked him up, and sat on the bed.
"But what about his mom?" I asked as I placed him on my lap.
She shrugged. "I told you she would go for her usual shopping spree."
I looked at Jay Jay as I stroked his cheek.
"She always goes shopping. That's her style. She gave him to me to watch over till she gets back. So I decided to bring him to you because I figured you missed him."
"I do. I have missed him so much. He is my best friend."
"Aw. That's sweet."
I smiled, still caressing his tempting cheek.
"Anyways, I am going back to work. Have fun." Coco said, walking towards the door.
"Thank you,"
"Yeah yeah, you're welcome." She said, walking out the door.
I placed Jay Jay in the bed and lay closer to him.
"Hey, buddy!" I called, grinning happily.
He bounced happily.
I squealed a bit lowly.
"I missed you too. You missed my hair?" I untied my hair and it fell.
His tiny hands reached for it, making me chuckle.
I quickly moved to his belly and blew on it, making him giggle as he gripped my hair.
I chuckled.
"Oh, Jay Jay."
NIGHT HOURS.......
I hummed as I moved around my room with Jay Jay in my arms. I stroked his back as I hummed a lullaby, trying to make him sleep.
Today was eventful.
We played all through. Ate lunch and dinner together and played again.
I forgot all my problems the minute he walked in.
He is such an angel.
Now it is late and he is slowly falling asleep. I think he is going to spend the night here.
Coco or his mother hasn't come for him yet and it is almost ten pm.
Call me selfish but I don't want any of them to come. I want Jay Jay here with me.
He makes me happy.
The only friend I have in this world.
I cradled him in my arms, smiling at his sleepy face.
I continued humming as I walked towards my bed. Gently, I got on it and placed him on his belly in the middle of the bed.
I lay next to him and covered us with the duvet.
I stroked his back gently, still humming, and stared at his adorable sleeping face.
I smiled delightfully.
He is so cute.
I am glad to see him today.
I wish I could leave here with him. But that will be more than selfish of me.
This is his home and his parents are here.
I can't take him away.
But I am going to miss him.
So much.
I rested my eyes on him as I stroked his back.
Not long later, sleep took over me.
I felt a gentle stroke on my ankle, making me stir on the bed as the heaviness of my sleep consumed me.
The gentle stroke came again.
I stirred again, rubbing my face sluggishly, and landed my hand on a tiny body.
I opened my eyes and I saw Jay Jay, sound asleep.
I smiled a bit, caressing his hair as my eyes dropped again.
Next, a strong hand gripped my ankle. I snapped my eyes open and looked down my legs.
I gasped, raised my body, and quickly moved back at the sight of the boss who was standing at the end of my bed, dressed in a black shirt that had the first three buttons open and staring at me dully as his temples bled.
Oh God.
