8 JEALOUSY A VITAL PAR

That night was strange for both. They thought about their feelings.

What the hell they both were doing or feeling !

It wasn't easy to pretend normal while staying by each other's side__and for such long hours.

Agnes came to her apartment, turned the lights on, strode towards her room threw herself on bed upside down and exhaled a heavy sigh.

Thinking about what happened in this past week she became confused.

Shook her thoughts and got up, slipped into her loose sleeping dress she untied her ginger hair, removed her lens and stared in the reflection___green to brown to black and golden__within these 2 minutes !

She gazed at the girl in the mirror and gave a weak smile. Sprinted into kitchen, prepared a mug of coffee and went to the balcony.

Jairus was unable to decide whether to say Agnes about his feelings or not.

Though he was somewhat sure that he was in love with her. While driving back to home he too was thinking about this week. A sweet smile appeared on his face when he murmured her name REGENA.

Yeah she registered herself as Regena not Agnes, as she believed she wasn't pure now so hid her name.

Reached his villa, Ruby opened the door, greeted him. He went towards his room telling her about dinner items. Loosened his tie , removed his coat & stretched his tired body.

Took a shower and again his thoughts flipped to her face. Before Agnes he used to think about girls in shower with 'mating intentions' but this time it was different.

He came out wearing his boxers and laid on bed, switched on the TV. And sighed, what if the voice of TV could be replaced by Regena's voice__permanently.

Yes yes, he was thinking about proposing her !

A pure thought __first time came into his mind. He was transforming inner & was becoming pure spiritually. He was improving himself __repenting on his past deeds. That was the reason why Agnes wasn't able to suck anything from him as he was in improving stage and was transforming by heart.

Both were thinking.

Both were in love.

They weren't speaking only waiting for other to take a leap !

Oh who will speak ?

How it'll be done ?

( those silly lovers )

Agnes POV:

The mug was throwing a hot puff of steam on my face !

The moon was bright__from my balcony. As it knew it's destiny.

The mug was hot__warming my hand by which I was holding. Though my outer was cold__icey cold but the inner me was becoming a hot magma of feelings !

"I know I'm in love with him, it doesn't matter how.

All that is important__is I love him and I've to tell this.

But should I  ?

Will he understand my feelings ?

Apparently I'm an employee and he's my boss will he insult me for thinking too high ?

And if I imagine he accepts me__but when he'll find out my true identity.....

Oh no no....I can't love him.

I can't tell him how I feel.

Maybe he's not my destination and I shouldn't walk on this path, I'd backout."

With my inner confusion I sipped from the mug and stared out at the bright sky.

"But why he tries to be with me ?

Why he tries to lure me towards him ?

Is that means he loves me too ? "

I shook my head & took another sip of my coffee__delicious.

Jairus POV:

Well I'd tell her that I'm in love & I want her badly.

I know I did wrong but I can make it up to her. I can give her anything she wants. I just want to be with her.

"Should I confess ?

What she'll think about me ?

I know I'm known for being a flirtatious man but now I'm not....I don't know what happened to me. But now I'm not that old Jairus.

But would she believe me ?

Or she would take me like a rich boy who's flirting with his secretary just for some fun."

Disheartened I hated the old me for once in a while.

"If that wouldn't work then should I tell her about that night ?

That I was the man she slept with.

Oh I'm screwed what should I do ?

She'll hate me both ways.

But .....

Never mind I'd let her speak or I'd wait till she gives me any signal , at least I'd be sure that she thinks the same.

For now I'm happy that I got to see her every day."

At last I came up with a better solution . Somehow I needed to control myself for now.

The next day :

Working in that deadly silence Jairus was feeling awkward. He wanted to talk actually he just wanted to listen her voice. He thought of many reasons but all of them weren't going to work.

( Ah ! love makes people do & think stupid, Right ? )

At last he got the perfect thing to talk about. He went to her desk and asked in a polite tone.

"Miss Regena how's your hand ?"

Agnes who was controlling herself in that addictive atmosphere stooped from her chair and was about to fall when Jairus scooped her into his arms at once.

Where Agnes was trying to stay away from his scent he came this much closer that his aura was overcoming her vampiric senses. She wanted to bite him !

Resting in his arms it  was easy for her to reach his neck__but she was in love.

To control her dangerous desires she covered her nose and pinched the sides of her nose with fingers !

"Yy yes boss my hand is okey. I'm sorry."

She struggled and reminded him to put her down still she was covering her nose when he immediately did that and her feet touched the marble floor.

"Good"

Jairus replied her staring in confusion.

Agnes nodded and glued her eyes to the laptop screen__still holding her nose untill Jairus went far.

He came back secretly moving his nose close to armpit !

"Really am I stinking ?"

He questioned himself innocently like a child.

An hour passed silently again. When someone knocked at the glass door of cabin covered with white fog-type paper.

And without waiting for Jairus' permission a lady came in.

"Oh hello my love. Missed me ?"

She overlooked at Agnes and completely ignored her. Strode towards Jairus and like a cunning fox she sat in his lap !

During this whole act Jairus was staring at

Agnes __blank.

Actually both were staring each other blankly with a lot of unsaid questions in eyes.

Genevieve scooped his face in her both hands and moved her one finger on his face__starting from the middle of his forehead and ending on his lips.

She pulled his face towards herself & whispered __audible enough for Agnes to listen.

"Aww I missed you my love."

Maybe she was showing Agnes that Jairus belongs to her. She was intentionally doing this and creating a lovey-dovey scene.

When Jairus came to his senses and pushed her angrily.

"Behave yourself Genevieve. We're in company and moreover you aren't my girlfriend. It'll be good if you leave."

Jairus spoke in a loud voice. Genevieve was insulted and couldn't speak anything so left stomping her stilettos on the floor__that the voice could be heard by both in the cabin.

They both were alone now and silently staring at each other when Agnes suggested.

"Um ! boss you'd tell your girlfriend to meet you at home. Coming here like this will effect your reputation."

Ah , a pain pricked into his heart.

GIRLFRIEND !

Really ?

Agnes POV:

"Ugh ! I felt bad.

I felt like I couldn't control myself from murdering that witch !

How dare she sit on Jairus' lap !

How dare she touch my man ! "

Okey. I'm being possessive.

Though I'm confused whether he loves me or not but still I love him and he belongs to me !

That old hag.....what the hell she thinks of herself !

Boiling in anger I was plopped in the chair , as Only I know how I calmed myself during her presence here.

"Oh my palms are hurting why the hell I dig my nails here ? "

I gazed at my hands which were bleeding and slowly healing. To stop myself from reacting I curled my hand into a punch digging my nails deep inside the skin.

"Ah I feel like a weeping child  !

Does he really have a girlfriend,  if yes then he have to breakup ! "

My head hit the thoughts instantly.

"I'm totally screwed neither I'm telling him about how I feel nor I want any girl around him.

Why I suggested him to keep his girlfriend at home ?

Perhaps I wanted to see his reaction.

Perhaps I wanted to listen

"No she's not my girlfriend. I only love you."

Oh how stupid I was !

Jairus POV:

What she said I hated that.

"She perceived that girl as my girlfriend why ?

When I was madly roaming around her past this days."

Okay, I admit that when Genevieve came I became blind. I felt fear__perhaps I was afraid what Agnes will think of me.

To keep my past low I scolded Genevieve and made her leave. But as I feared she misunderstood me.

"Oh heavens why ?

What should I do now to prove my love for her  ?

Wait !

She suggested me __was she jealous  ?

Oh my....she was ! "

My face beamed with joy and eyes blinked with hope.
