Chapter 71 - Honey

They were both asleep they didn't notice someone sneakily opened the door from the outside and peeked at them. When that someone saw them sleeping in each other's arms, she suddenly closed the door and rushed towards the dining room.

"Oh... oh... oh... I'm going to have a heart attack!" it was Madam Kelly panting while clutching her chest.

Chairman John whose reading newspaper looked up at Madam Kelly but after he realized that she is just bluffing, he returned to what he is reading.

"Mom, what have you been doing?" Lily who came to the dining room heard her mom. Leticia and her family had gone off early in the morning. Lily was left to stay while Jacob and J were still asleep.

"I saw Jacob and Jenny asleep hugging each other!" Madam Kelly excitedly exclaimed.

"What? Did you sneak into brother's room? That's rude mom!"

"Y-you! They were not showing any affection in front of us so I have to see what they we're doing behind those walls.!

....

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Jacob was awoken by a knock on the door. But being still sleepy, he closed his eyes again and ignored it.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

This time it was J who was awoken, she lazily opened her eyes and said, "Jacob, someone's knocking."

Jacob answered with his eyes still closed, "Mmm... Honey ignore it. It's just mom." He changed his position just to make J more comfortable. J now heard the endearment that Jacob used to her, but she doesn't have the energy to argue yet because she felt her eyes closed again. She dug her face deeper to Jacob's chest feeling his warm and steady heartbeat.

Jacob felt it so he leans his head closer to J's head. He inhaled J's distinct smell before he kissed her in her hair. At that moment Jacob felt that he can never have a good sleep without this woman in his arms. He wanted to wake up every morning cuddling her and smelling her scent. It seems like this woman has taken a huge part of his body and heart.

Suddenly they heard a voice near them that make them jumped out of surprise.

"I'm sorry to disturb your sleep." it was Madam Kelly who was already standing at the foot of the bed. She already made her way inside Jacob's bedroom unnoticed.

"But it's almost lunchtime. Aren't you two going to the hospital?"

J who was still lying in Jacob's arms with her arms in his waist became conscious of her looks and position so she pulled out her arms and got up in bed. But her sudden movement made her head dizzy. She closed her eyes as she rubbed her temple.

Jacob who noticed it glared at his mother and said, "Mom! Don't you think it is rude to just barge into my bedroom? Can't we have privacy?"

Madam Kelly ignored Jacob's irritation and continued chastising them.

"I've been knocking for like fifteen minutes already but you were not answering. I became worried so I went in to check on you. Besides, James has been calling since this morning. He said you are not answering his call. He just wanted to remind you of your 3 pm meeting with Mr. Sy."

"Now get up now as I prepare your lunch." after saying that Madam Kelly walked out of Jacob's bedroom leaving the two flabbergasted.

Jacob let out a deep sigh and said, "See that's the reason why living here is out of the options."
