The Billionaire Secret Admirer

“Hiiii… good evening. I’m sorry to disturb. I’m Silas, I recently moved in to the neighborhood. While jogging within the estate this evening I saw you… I guess you were just returning from work. I don’t know anybody or any grocery store around here since I’m still new to the area… I decided that I will summon courage and come over to you whenever I’m done with my evening exercise. Sorry for the long intro. Your gate was open and this was the first apartment that greeted me when I stepped in. all I came for is to ask if you can kindly describ any grocery store where I can buy things within. I have not been able to find one…

I gave Silas the description he wanted and even mentioned other few places, like the boutique, the barbershop, church if he cares to attend one.

He thanked me and started leaving.

I turned to go inside, Silas called my attention again.

“Please can I get your mobile number, not for anything but to shout out to you once in a while or just in case you care to join me for an evening jog. If is going to be a problem then don’t bother… I will understand.

I stared at him thinking whether to consider giving him my number or not.

Well, there was nothing wrong in making friends, Silas looks harmless and may become useful to me in the future.

He thought that I was going to turn him down and started stepping away gradually.

I suddenly called out the number to him. he brought out his phone and dailled in the numbers. I gave him my name too.

He was smiling, thanking me as he walks away.

I went back in, and was pacing round the house.

All I kept thinking off was Ohio and JoJo, what if JoJo succeeded in getting Ohio’s love. I won’t be able to live with that.

I try calling JoJo but she didn’t pick up.

My heart skipped. I was begining to imagine different types of things. “What if JoJo is presently with Ohio”? Which maybe Why she is not picking my call.

Maybe JoJo has finally succeeded.

I angrily punched the wall and withdraw my hand in pain.

I couldn’t stay anymore I decided to call Ohio.

The phone rang twice before he picked.

I did not know what to say to him or my main reasons for calling. I wish I can ask him if JoJo is presently with him. But I dare not ask him such.

“Hello Becca??

He said after I remain speechless even as he picked.

“Goo… Good evening sir…

Voice shakes as I speak.

“I guess you have forgotten my name all of a sudden. I’m still Ohio and I begged to be addressed as such. So, how are you? You called me…??

“Yes, I did. I just wanted to check up and I’m doing alright. I hope you got to your place safe last night… are you busy now? I mean do you have any visitor at the moment?

I stylishly asked to know if JoJo was with him.

“Visitor? No… I don’t. I’m home alone… no visitor. Why did you ask…?

“Nothing, I don’t want to disturb if you are busy with a visitor. I… didn’t see you at work today so I decided to know if you are alright.

Ohio chuckled at the other end before saying.

” I was at work in my own office. Couldn’t come down to yours because there was no time to do that. I didn’t know that you cared this much Becca.. Anyway, I’m good, thanks for checking up. Hold on… I think somebody is at my door…

I was listening to the sound of his leg when he was walking down to the door.

I heard a female greeting as he opened the door.

I guess he mentioned name that sounds like Lili or could it be JoJo? Or maybe it was my ear drum deceiving me.

The lady said something to him which I couldn’t grab.

I pressed the phone to my ears so that I can hear everything.

“Hello Becca… are you still there.

I told him I was.

“Okay, thanks for checking up…. I have to go now. Goodnight.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

He waited until I muttered a sluggish goodnight back to him before ending the call.

I felt like smashing my phone. What if the female voice belongs to JoJo?

My stomach made a sound. I need to eat before I collapse.

I haven’t eaten anything tangible all day and no appetite for it.

JoJo can’t outsmart me twice, she can’t take the only man that I has come to occupy my whole heart.

I decided to call JoJo again but yet no response.

I ate little bit of the food before retiring to bed. Even though sleep did not come on time but it finally came.

I was at work the next day, I was hopeful that Ohio will come but yet he didn’t and same thing on the third day. He did not come at all because I kept watch and even skipped lunch but Ohio did not come.

I saw Silas as I was coming back from work around my gate.

He was on his usual evening jog. He waved at me before running over to where I was.

“Hello Becca, how was work today? I thought of calling yesterday evening but did not want you to feel disturbed. You look exhausted… maybe you can join me once in a while and burn off any extra fat or stress. Is good to keep fit you know. you can also join my classes during the weekends. I’m a gym instructor, my gym is well equipped both for men and women. I have other instructors who manage things in my absence. I will like to have you around sometimes, I will give you three months to freely use any of our facilities at the gym and also a body massage. Let me know if you interested.

“Alright Silas, I will think about your offer… maybe the weekend ones. I will join you on a good day to jog within the estate. Is good to see you again. Enjoy your evening.
