Accidentally Married

Xavier pulled away his mouth hovering over hers. Why did he do it? He could not tell, he just knew that he had the urge to do it for a while now.

Jessica’s eyes fluttered open and she stared at him. She hiccupped and saw the corners of his lips turn up in a smile. She hurriedly stood up bumping heads with him.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ouch,” she cried.

“Let me….” Xavier said after her as she sprinted out of the room holding her head that had bumped into his his.

“Where are you going?” he called after her. When he stepped out he couldn’t find her in sight. Jessica entered the room of Olivia.

“What are you doing here,” the woman asked sitting straight on her bed.

“I’m here to sleep tonight” Jessica went to sit beside her on the bed using her body to nudge her to the side.

“What are you doing here when you have a big bedroom? Did you fight with your husband?” Olivia asked switching on the bed lamp by her side.

“No we did not fight, please can we just go to bed?” she said as she got under the covers snuggling into them.

Olivia shook her head before switching off the light. She was here to make sure that her niece did not ruin her chances of having a rich life ahead of her.

She knew Jessica was oddly comfortable with some situations. She knew how kind her heart was and why she could easily be used and dumped by anyone. She sighed she knew she must get to the end of whatever it was between both parties. Ever since she had come over she had seen Jessica willing to choose to live as if she was poor instead of utilizing the money she was entitled to.

Olivia made up her mind to talk with Xavier in the morning to fix whatever it might be that needed to be fixed. She did not know how she would get to see him because he avoided her as much as he could.

“Switch of the light I want to sleep” Jessica muttered her eyes closed. Olivia looked at her figure hunched on the bed and her back to her. She stretched her hand and switched off the light before paying back down.

Jessica had her eyes closed. Her brain telling her to sleep because she probably had a long day at the restaurant but her heart and body kept reminding her of the kiss she had shared with him.

She thought about how soft his lips were when pressed on hers. She thought about how his hands went to her waist to pull her closer. She thought about how gentle he was.

She began to wish that her mind could clear up so she could sleep. She was confused about what to think. She knew they had gotten close, even a blind man could see that but she hated that she did not know what he felt.

These thoughts kept her awake for a long time till she fell asleep when her mind was weary from running around.

When Jessica woke up in the morning she felt her head bang so much she wanted to lay back down. The thoughts she had carried with her all night were exhaustive and she could not think about how she could go about it.

She needed to make breakfast but she needed to avoid Xavier. She would also need to go into the room, have her bath, and prepare to go out. Her heart pounded in her chest as she thought about what she had to face.

She opened the door and peeked out. The house was silent except for the little noise by the staff. They were always awake before her and did their duties. They made her work easier too.

She tiptoed to the kitchen. The reason she did that was unclear to her but she did it anyway. He could be downstairs today. When she safely made it to the kitchen she sighed in relief and closed the door. Her hand was still on the door when she a voice that startled her behind her.

“Why are you closing the door?”

Of all the voices in the house she wished it was any other person apart from the one she just heard. She sighed and pulled a fake smile to her face and turned around to face him.

“I like closing the door while I cook sometimes and today I was feeling like it’s a good day to close the door and have fun here in the kitchen,” she said.

‘I would like to have fun with you in the kitchen today. What can I do to help? ” he said resting his back on the island.

Jessica had wanted to avoid him as much as she could till all the thoughts occupying her mind would wear off. But here he was looking the most sexy in the morning.

His normally laid back hair was all over the place as if he had gotten a blow out. It looked scattered but she loved the way it looked on him. His eyes looked lazy as they stared at him. It was as if he did not sleep at night.

“There is no need to help me,” she said immediately making his eyebrow go up.”I like to have the fun by myself” she added. She had to avoid him by all means.

“Why? I need an activity to keep me awake. Someone made me worried yesterday so I could barely sleep”

Hearing that he had no sleep like her sent a warm feeling across her. She was glad she was not the only one suffering. She did not know what caused the sleeplessness he faced but after what they encountered yesterday dye was glad he was in the same place as her.

“You have coffee in hand, I’m sure that would take you up,” she said turning to the door.

She wanted to run away again. She would tell Roselle to make breakfast and she would run yo the restaurant. She would keep herself busy till her mind would not remember the exact details but only vaguely.

“Are you running away again? “
