67、Heart beat
“Its alright. Thank you for everything.”
“You don’t have to keep thanking me. I did what I was supposed to do for my student.” Jennifer was not happy for hearing him call her his student. She wanted to hear him call her, at least, a friend .
“So, I will like to asked. Do you have a wife? Or maybe… a girlfriend?” Jennifer asked.
Mike looked at her and gave her a weak smile before he replied, “No, Jennifer.”
Jennifer bite her lips, she didn’t know how she could asked the obvious follow up question to she said, “Do you live with your parents? Or alone with the maid?”
At this point, Mike could not understand where she was heading to but he knew she wanted to find out about something.
“I don’t have a wife or a girlfriend. My parents are not staying with me and I don’t have roommates. Just me and my maid.” Jennifer thought about what him and the maid would be doing all alone. She began to get jealous of the main again.
“Sorry for asking so much questions. But, Is this your house? Like, you bought it yourself? or a friend house” Jennifer asked curiously. She knew she was asking too much questions which might get on his nerve but she can’t keep it to herself. She won’t be able to have peace of mind.
At this point, Mike didn’t know if he should lie to her or tell her the real truth.
“Do you think I bought it with my money?” Mike asked.
“I know you as my school teacher and I’m sure you can’t afford this luxurious house with your salary. Maybe, you are doing another thing thing or….. you have rich friend who traveled and left it for you to stay till he comes back.”
Mike thought deep about it and decided to tell her the truth.
“Actually, I’m the owner.” Mike said and Jennifer was shocked. She looked around the kitchen and looked at Mike who was watching her. She didn’t know what to say. She knew he wasn’t lying to her. The suit he was wearing on the school party and the gift he bought for her on her birthday was a prove.
She has so many questions running through her mind but she had asked enough questions. She wanted to know What he was doing to get the money to buy the kind of house. She wanted to ask him his net worth. She curious to know more about him but asking more questions may get to his nerve. She needed to find out herself.
“I’m sorry for bothering you with too much questions. Your house is very beautiful” Jennifer managed to say.
“Thank you.” Mike replied and got to his fridge and brought a bottle of water and dropped it on the kitchen counter top.
“I’m coming.” He left the kitchen and came back with a packet of Onzetra tablet drug.
“Here.” He gave the drug to her. “Now that you have eaten, you need to take it.
“What is the drug for?” Jennifer asked.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“It’s for migraines. It will help you recover quick. Maybe it can help you remember everything.” Mike said, smiling at her and she returned the smile with a frank gaze.
She checked the back of the tablet card and took two pills with the chilled water.
“Thank you.” She have him back the drug and he returned the bottle of water to the fridge.
“Why did you do this even after I rejected your gifts and sent you away from my house.” Jennifer asked after some moments of silent.
Mike knew what she was asking him about. He took a seat and sat down in front of her, close to her and said, “I can’t just watch him assault you. I had a feeling that you are in danger and started looking for you. That was when I found you. I can’t just allow him to have his way through you because of What you did. I wasn’t angry with you. You are supposed to be angry with me for canceling the private lesson. Though I was expecting you to be happy when I came with the gift but I wasn’t angry when you did otherwise.” Jennifer found his speech lovely as he explain.
“I know I shouldn’t have brought you here but I had no other option. I just brought you here to make sure you are save. I was expecting you to be angry with me for bringing you here but I can see you are cool with me.” Mike finished.
“Don’t say that. Why will I be angry with you when you saved my life from that beast. I don’t know what would have happened to me if you didn’t come for my rescue. What will I have done if it wasn’t you? I really appreciate you. Thank you very much.” She ran her hand along Mike forearm. Fascinated by his strong muscles and dilated veins that ran along his arm.
She meant everything single word she said with all her heart. She was terrified to think about what Daniel would have did to her if he weren’t him. She may had passed out under him. She felt his breath increasing as she touch him. She could feel his heart beat. For the first time, she stared deliberately as his chest. She had been avoiding to gaze at his chest, but now, she noticed he was reacting to her tender touch and it gave her the confidence to stare at his broad chest and tiny nipples.
Mike raised his head and looked up at her. She noticed his stared and took a deep breath, then raised her head up to look back at him. They started looking at each other, deep in the eyes. Jennifer’s heart was racing fast but she managed to keep still. She could see how handsome he was. For Mike, he was looking all over her face. He eyes, her nose, her lips.
There was a total silent in the room. It was getting hot. Mike wanted to lean forward and kissed her lips. It was so tempting and inviting.
For Jennifer, she didn’t want to make the move first. She wanted Mike to make the move and she would let him know how hungry he was to her.
The silent gazing lasted for three minutes before Mike finally broke the silent.
“Jennifer.” Mike spoke with a slow tender voice and Jennifer raised her eyes, and offered Mike her best smile. She couldn’t wait to hear what he wanted to say.
