Why Can't I Be Yours? 18. A State of Dilemma
His being feverish explains the odd attitude that he had been displaying all morning. With my aid, sir Charles sat up. I adjusted the pillow and placed it behind his back so he'd be comfortable while sitting. Afterwards, I picked up the tray table and placed it across him. Our eyes met shortly as I did so but I averted my gaze since he was right before me. Besides I always feel shy whenever I'm closer to him. Also, I don't want him to think I'm flirting because I was privileged to come into his room. I was aware that sir Charles only authorised Antonia to come into his room since only she cleaned and touched his things so, being here felt good.Our gaze was magical even though it didn't last.I won't deny being dazzled as his deep blue eyes met my black. It felt like the perfect combo but I couldn't stare as much as I desired. Immediately I placed the tray before sir Charles, he picked up his fork to eat.A minute passed and sir Charles hadn't started eating. He simply held the fo
Why Can't I Be Yours? 19. He Scared The Hell Out of Her
I stared at sir Charles' unconscious body in fright. My heart was in my throat as anxiety took control of my being. It felt like my heart froze or maybe it did. It froze as I was panicking.I'm scared and shaky and I took the initiative to check if he is still breathing. With my heart racing, I gasped unsure about what step to take.I placed my hand over his nose to confirm that he still has life in him.I tried moving as his body weighed on me. Strugglingly, I dragged him but was unable to carry on so, I screamed.“Matthew!! Please help me.” I yelled and when I got no response, I yelled louder.“Matthew! Matthew!!”I kept yelling, I didn't give it a pause and it was probably because I felt calmer compared to when I did nothing.“Matthew!” I yelled as he walked in. I looked up at him and realised that my colleagues rushed in with him.I watched them place him on the bed and my hands were shaking, my body and in fact, my soul was.I was in this state due to the shock of never witnessing
Why Can't I Be Yours? 20. A Hearty Feeling
I didn't know what to say to Matthew as I was dumbfounded. I looked at him and realised that his suspicion is responsible for his awkward attitude. It explains all the weirdness.“What are you saying? Are you sick in the head?” I said in surprise. My heart was in my throat as fear washed over me. “Exactly what you heard. You love Mr Charles and it's very obvious,” he said in a whisper. “I can't believe you're saying this. Where's all this coming from.” I muttered staring into his eyes. I don't understand how he knows this or if he heard it from someone but his revelation is having an impact on me. “If I'm wrong then why are you being so defensive,” he said with a smirk. “You're out of your mind,” I said and shook my head. I have to deny as much as I can so that the idea drains out of his mind. “Look, I know everything. I'm not an idiot. I can see through you. You can deny it all you want but it doesn't change the fact that what I'm saying is nothing but the truth.” He said in conf
Why Can't I Be Yours? 21. Delicious Urge
Maureen was happy that her actions mattered to Charles so, she was lost in a trance.“That's all. I'm leaving, don't neglect your health, Mr Charles.” Dr Gabriel said and jerked Maureen from her dazzled state. Maureen turned to look at him and Charles simply nodded at his statement. “I'd walk you out.” Maureen offered and they both left. Maureen returned to Charles's room. She wanted to take the list and purchase the drugs in a pharmacy along with Matthew. “Pass my phone,” Charles said trying to sit up. Quickly, Maureen rushed to assist him and said. “sir, are you sure? I can speak on your behalf.” She offered since she didn't want to stress him. She was concerned that he could be angered over the phone or worse receive bad news. She didn't want anything that would force him to go out. It would terrify her. Maureen had the habit of worrying over trivial matters. Before an issue escalates, she could have developed IBP (High Blood Pressure) especially when it revolves around those
Why Can't I Be Yours? 22. Beauty Brings Attraction
An abrupt knock on the door broke out in the room. Charles glared at the door with wide eyes and immediately, he drew his hands across the bulge. Gosh! He was nervous. He felt embarrassed about it and he knew that it would be more embarrassing if someone saw it. It would be shameful as the boss if he was caught staring lustfully at Maureen with that bulge.He would appear like a pervert but thankfully, he wore fitted trousers and his sex swayed to the side. He was lucky that it wasn't standing forward if not, he would have been discovered as the erection was one of a kind.Another knock rang out and Maureen looked and saw a sleeping Charles. Hmm... He feigned to be asleep. Who knows, his weird feeling might go away. Since she thought that he was asleep, she couldn't wake him to ask for his permission so, she walked softly to the door not wanting to disturb him.She opened it and went out to meet Antonia. Antonia complied when she saw Charlesʼs sleeping figure. Before Maureen stepped
Why Can't I Be Yours? 23. Perfect, Hot and Sexy
Sir Charles caught me glaring gapingly at him. As our first eyes met, fear washed over me. What am I going to tell him? The truth? No way! I doubt this to be the auspicious hour ordained by God for my feelings to become exposed. It can't be as it doesn't seem right. The truth is it can't be.And if I'm to tell a lie, I won't be able to compose one in such a short amount of time. Would I be able to lie to him? Lying is out of it. I'd just act ignorant or wait! Would think that I was lusting? I hope that won't be the case. I'd prefer to confess than be regarded as a loose girl who can't control her hormones. Anything but being regarded as miss Hailey. He refused to peel his eyes off me and I looked away as I became bashful and mortified. "Drop that over there, I would be right back," he said gesturing toward the bedroom table and I looked at him. I'm thankful that he didn't read the meaning of my behaviour. He might have taken my reaction as that of surprise judging that he was in a
Why Can't I Be Yours? 24. Total Misconception
After a while of sitting on the bed, he still held onto the fork and I was confused. I believe that he permitted me to feed him but why did he refuse to let go of the fork? Or did he change his mind?His hands were trembling. If not for my knowledge of the impact of malaria, I would have been scared. He looked up at me and anxiety hit me. "What's going on?" I soliloquized."You can help with this," he said with a reassuring look. He must have been trying to confirm if he could eat on his own but wait, I'm not forcing him.Does he feel less of a human because I would be feeding him? his maid! He can as well eat by himself. Am I disgusting? I'm not pleased one bit about this nevertheless, I would still feed him.I was glad about it earlier because I was going to sit on his bed and care for him but with this attitude, I feel like nothing but his slave. Maybe I should have looked at his nude. It would have been a nice consolation for this besides, I deserved to see him that way more tha
Why Can't I Be Yours? 25. The Storm
“Sir, you need to eat more,” Maureen told Charles. “I'm giving you a hard time and yet you want to keep attending to me?” Charles said. And he was saying the truth as Maureen is only obligated to perform her domestic duties. She wasn't just acting like a nurse, she was working like one. It wasn't in her place to do these things. “Sir, you're not. I'm performing my duties as a worker.” she pointed out and placed a spoonful of the chicken in his mouth. “I'm glad that you're passionate about your job.” he was amused at her sweetness. She fed him some more before she put the tray aside. As Maureen went to drop the tray, Charles was reminded of the sensation he felt when he had a bulge. He couldn't help so, he stared at her backside. Since he was still confused about what happened earlier in the day and the surprise he felt when he became attracted to Maureen, he wanted to confirm if he possibly wanted her. Even though he was likely going to stick to abstinence. Glaring at her, the
