Chapter 19
He who was planning to stay away from her, and now it turned out that Grisell had other plans for him. The door to her room was ajar so she entered without knocking, it was more than impossible for her to be naked so she didn't hesitate to 0 in.
Hello, are you ready for that bath? He said putting his hands in his pockets.
“1 told him not to bother you with those things.
1 told him not to bother you with that stuff. But I'm already here, so I'll take you to the bathroom.
Yeah, I guess so. He shrugged.
“Does my presence bother you?
-Don't feel so important.
Last night it didn’t seem to bother you much. He said, moving closer to her.
How dare he, Megan thought, he was an idiot.
“It was just one night that won't happen again, maybe it was the beer that went to my head and didn't let me think clear So it was just one night, she didn't give a damn about having made love to him or was she making it up. Her moans and groans didn't sound fake or like she didn't want to repeat them.
-All right, if you say so, 0 be it.
-Of course! she said.
He took her in his arms and carried her to the bathroom.
50 much for my work, I suppose Grisell will come and help you with the rest.
Yes. Please tell him to come upstairs when you can.
Hmm... apparently the word please is in your vocabulary. He said turning around and leaving the bathroom.
Why did he have to be so irritating and attractive at the same time. It was driving her crazy and he was aware of it.
Well, you're ready my girl, 'll get Jack to come upstairs and take you to bed.
Grandma, this is extremely uncomfortable for both of us, you know that.
You're a couple of adults and we all live under the same roof. We have to learn to get along, so get dressed quickly. “Where the hell is Melissa?
she’s still not here with Rodrigo.
-Fantastic!
Her friend missing with her boyfriend, and her with a bad foot. Getting out of the bathtub had been the hardest thing the could both do, she could tell that her grandmother couldn't make that much effort. From tomorrow Melisa would help he with everything, where had she gone? Since she had been dating Rodrigo, she hardly saw her, she would probably end up going alone to Atlanta.
-Are you visible? A voice at the bathroom door brought her out of her thoughts.
“Yes, come in.
Then shall I take you to bed?
Yes, please.
He took her in his arms again and the smell of her intoxicated him, she smelled like cherries, he was sure she didn't smel
like that the night before.
He had planned to stay away from her, and now it turned out that Grisell had other plans
for him. The door to her room was ajar so he entered without knocking, it was more than impossible that she was naked
he didn't hesitate to enter.
-Is that smell from one of your lotions? I ask her cautiously.
“What? Hmm yes, it is.
-Hmm.
1 guess your friend or your grandmother will be keeping an eye on you at night.
“That's right, so don’t worry about it bothering you.
Great! Because I wanted to sleep all night last night.
“This is no more annoying for me than it is for you, you don't need to be so sarcastic. From tomorrow Melisa will help me with whatever I need.
That's fine with me! He shrugged his shoulders.
-Good night! Good night, Melisa.
Good night. He said with a laugh.
Three weeks with her in the house would be torture. Holding her in his arms reminded him of the night before, at least st had solved the problem of having to carry her everywhere. He went into his room, undressed and lay down on the bed. Avery distant call interrupted his dreams, he opened his eyes trying to get his bearings until he heard Megan's voice, he jumped up and went straight to the door of the next room without waiting to knock he entered in a hurry, he thought tha maybe she had fallen and hurt her foot, but when he opened the door he found her half seated on the bed.
“What's the matter? He approached her.
I'm sorry I woke you up.
That doesn't matter, you're pale and sweating, do you feel sick?
Ves a little, my grandmother didn't leave me enough water and I need to take my pills.
-l understand.
She went to the bathroom and came back with a big glass of water.
“What are the pills you need to take?
“The blue bottle.
-Does your foot hurt a lot?
-Not much, it just bothers me.
You're hot, I think you should take a bath, maybe you have a fever.
-'m sure the pills will make it go away.
-1 don't think so. Come on, I'l take you to the bathroom and call your friend to help you.
“It's too late, I don't want to bother her now. The pills will surely bring down my fever, I'd rather sleep.
“What are you talking about? You have a fever so you won't be able to sleep. Come on, I'l take you myself and help you. Jack, you don’t have to bother. Besides, I don’t want to go into the freezing water.
-If what's wrong with you is that you're embarrassed to be seen naked, I think it's a little late for that, don't you?
-1 don't mean it like that, gosh Jack. Why the hell do you have to be like that?
Then cut the bullshit and let's get you that bath.
All right!
He sat her on the toilet while he turned on the bathtub faucet.
Have you been calling for a long time?
Awhile. You're not a very light sleeper.
“1 work all day in the blazing sun. What did you expect?
-No nothing, forget it.
Hmm. Surely you'd expect one of those fine executives who work prostrate in an office on an eight-to-five schedule if the were light sleepers.
“You're an idiot, Jack Manson. -You know that?
-In fact you're the only one who says it to my face and lately.
At least one of those executives like you say would treat me better than you.
-Oh yes, of course! 1 exclaim sarcastically. -A snooty city slicker, I forgot.
“You know what? I'm not taking a shower anymore, take me to my bed.
You'll take a bath! I order her.
Without waiting for her response he pulled up her cotton nightgown that reached a little above her knees, underneath he found her as God had brought her into the world. The sight unleashed a reaction in Jack that he could hardly control, and all the more so because he had noticed that she hadn't worn her jeans, her glistening member showing through those boxer shorts.
But why did you do that? You're definitely a caveman from the caves. She said angrily, covering herself as best she could with her hands.
It's for your own good. Now come here so you can get in the tub, it's cold, the perfect water for you.
Jack, 1 don't think it's a good idea for you to touch me in your condition. He said looking at his erection and then at her face.
I'm not made of stone Megan, but I can control myself. He took her again and put her in the tub with her injured and bandaged foot out of the water.
Its freezing Jack, I'm freezing. She said, shivering.
“It will only be for a little while, until the fever goes down.
He had made a great effort to carry her naked, he had to remember she was hurt he couldn't have such lustful thoughts about her. He came out of the bathroom more tense than ever and sat on the bed to wait, what a mess he had gotten himself into he should have left her alone when she had asked him to but he and his libido had done the opposite of his reason. Well maybe he was a savage because he wished he could see her naked again.
Jack, I can't take this cold anymore, get me out of here.
-But you've only been here for ten minutes. He said, entering the bathroom without warning.
You could let me know when you're coming in! I'm freezing, get me out of here.
Okay. Sighing, he took a towel, put it over her shoulder and helped her out of the tub, draping it over her to cover her nakedness.
