Chapter 2 Meeting Bethany

He opened the door and called Josh,he came opened the bonnet and dropped her bag,he was lucky to have gotten while that annoying lifeguard was around he got inside the car -the driver's seat and sat down

"Josh it's been a while you know"

'yes miss Bethany,it's nice seeing you again "

"likewise ".

He started driving and Mason spoke"wear the shirt ""close your eyes"

"I won't ". She sighed and wore the shirt then she sat beside him and buttoned it"I'm done now,can I go now"

"the car is moving "

"I'll stop here"

"do you have money or your phone to take you back ""it's just a little walk"

"do you have shoes"

"I can't go my things are in the beach"

"it's fine,you'll come back and get them later"

"They'll take my things to the lost and found. Besides what will I do in your house "

'I don't know , maybe cook for me,you know that I can't cook"

"then you'll learn through YouTube tutorials"

"I don't want to"

"why"

"it looks boring plus I want you to teach me"

"I still don't understand why I am here"

Josh stopped the car in his villa

"me neither "

"okay then I'm going back"

"good luck"she remembered her predicament,no money,no shoes,no phone...

"ugh, you caused this "

"so why did you leave us,I paid you well right"he tried to change the topic

"I thought I made it clear in my resignation letter,that if we should see each other let's behave like we don't know each other"

"but I know you".She suppressed her laughter

"just forget about it ".

She said and walked inside slamming the door in his face. He followed her inside

"was it because of that night "she froze for a second and spoke

"no"she replied coldly

"then why did you leave "

"I wanted to explore other fields "

"so, how did that turn out "he said mockingly.

"It's going well"

"so which company do you work for "

"I'm a waitress"he tried to suppress his laughter but he couldn't,he burst out laughing and that made her feel bad

"I want to go home "

"wait, you left me to explore that"

"I want to go home"she said trying to change the topic

"you're spending the night here"

"not gonna happen "

"really how do you plan on cotradicting it"

"I don't know but I'm not sleeping here "

"then you can stay awake or watch my handsome face sleep "

"where do you live now "

"I can go home by myself "she said before he'd laugh at her again,besides he was the one that made her lose her job

"the door is that way". He pointed to the door, while grinning

"fuck you "

"thank you "

"what are you doing here"

"don't I have the right to go to anywhere I want?"

"just talk"she insisted

"well I'm on a break from work"

"break,that's hard to believe""

I was forced to go on one,I do less work now"

"less...? Who forced you to go on a break

""my grandparents "

"look you're not on a break,you're on a search for a wife and grandkids "

"you still remember her"

"you ask the dumbest questions "

"well I try to give myself sometime for massages and all the regular benefits one gets from life"

"that's good".

"I need my phone"

"it's at the beach"

"I know you have it"

"fine let me get it for you". He came back with her phone

"my stuffs are here,where can I get them"

"so you'll run away??"

"no". He walked to the mini bar and poured a drink for himself

"what would you like for lunch"

"am okay"

"you skip meals a lot,I don't like thin girls"

"and who said I like arrogant boys"she countered

"I'm not arrogant"

"I know you,so I know what I'm saying"

"no, you don't"

"I won't argue but you're arrogant "

"say what you like"

"I'm hungry "

'that's good "

"what should I order"

"I don't know, you should know what you want to eat"

"I'm asking you what do you want to eat"

"I'm not hungry"

"I need to go home ''

''why""I need clean clothes"

"I'll call a someone to come and get you changed"

"I don't want to keep you company"

"what do you want to do then"

"I want to go home"

"not happening". He walked closer to me

"stand up"

"why"

"just do it"

"look around,have you seen anyone in here that'll keep me company. No you're the only one"

"but I want to go"

"I'll be bored to death"

"enjoy your self"

"do you want me dead"

"sometimes"

"rude "

"maybe "

"my bed is cold "

"so"

"you know what I mean "

"what role do I play in warming your bed"

"please,I don't want to die"

"the lady who wants to help me will help you"

"no".

He walked closer and whispered "I want you to strip in front of me,I want to make you scream my name. He nibbled on her earlobe and roamed his hands all over my body and kissed her. She couldn't resist so she kissed him back,there has always been a spark between them Mason is willing to try it out but she always ignored it because of work,untill one night when she fell and she woke up entangled in his arms.

She broke the kiss when she suddenly remembered how she hates him,how much pain he has caused her,the kids she had to raise on her own,no she can't make the same mistake twice,this was how she got pregnant and she's not ready to be a single mom with three or four kids,who on this planet will marry her

"what's wrong "

"nothing I have to go"

"you can't "

"I ordered an Uber ".

She showed him her phone"you're always unbelievable "he said and smiled

"I thought you'd spend the night here"

"I can't ". She said and ran out before he could say anything again. She has to meet the boys and they won't like it if mummy spends the night outside.

He lit a cigarette to help him,she clearly doesn't know how much he wants her, he wants her till the point where his body aches. Maybe she has a man already, he dialed Peter's number

"yes jerkbag how may I help you"

"I'm in California"

"so..."

"I want you to run an investigation for me"

"I'm not traveling away to deliver the file"

"did I say that ? I'm here"

"send me your location"

"I give you three days"

"hey,I'm not your worker I also have files that needs to be worked on so you're not the only one. I can deliver the results to you in a month,you won't die"

"fuck you". Peter laughed at the other end

"fine,what's the full name"

"Davis Bethany Jones"

"ohh,it's a ladyyyyyyy"he could hear the excitement in his voice"can you stop"

"I know this isn't work right?you're in love"

"you're not insane"he laughed and he ended the call. He could clearly remember her last wishes when she resigned

"when next we see each other,we should behave like we're meeting each other for the first time,what we had was a one-time mistake. I don't know you and you don't know me "after that she walked out.

He thought she was still around but that day she flew out of the country.

His phone rang with a call from Grandma

"Mason are you okay "

"yes,why"

"I'm angry with you I hope you know that"

"no,that's why you asked about my wellbeing"

"no,I'm angry really angry "

"with me?"

"yes"

"what did I do now"

"you couldn't call to let us know that you arrived safely"

"I'm busy"

"are you in a bad mood". He wish he was, in a bad mood but no he's horny . He wants Bethany but she's gone

"no"

"are you with a lady". She's excitedly waiting for me to say yes

"no". No I said and burst her bubble

"I don't want to hear or believe that you're gay. Mason I need grandkids,stop playing around. You're the only child left"

I nearly laughed at the gay side

"I've heard"

"that's what you always say,what are you doing tonight"

"nothing "

"invite a girl over"

"I'm busy"

"I hope you're not smoking "

"no". I threw the cigarette into the sink and turned on the water

"are you lying"

"no"

"this is why you're still single,who wants a guy that smokes"

"at least I don't do it for a living "

"regardless,you need a woman "

"I want to go"

"clubbing?" She asked with a smile,he could feel it "No"

"you're boring "

"I know " he replied lazily
