TAMING MR JERKFACE: Own By An Overbearing CEO

Debby's POV

Thunderstorm claps... lightening strikes... dark clouds moves in great speed... as if they angry soldiers marching into the battlefield.. ready to fight to the death to protect their country. Everyone runs around... finding shelters to hide away from the heavy downpour about to take place... But not this little girl.

She clings onto a dress... pulling on the dress... her eyes red and swollen.. but it didn't stop the continuous tears running down her cheeks... she keeps muttering coherently.

My eyes followed her hands clinging onto the dress... and they land on a silhouette... it seems like its behind.

Though it's dark everywhere but a blinding light flash across my eyes and I couldn't find its face.

I turn back to the little girl... and listen to what she's muttering coherently.

"Mama.. mama.. mama.. don't go.. mama.. mama.." she cries.

But the silhouette moves faster than before and tries removing her hand from the dress.

The girl falls down but the silhouette figure still didn't stop... dragging the girl along the ground with her. "Mama.. mama.."

I reach out and tried to grab the figure.. to stop it from dragging the girl but I only catch empty air.

I stared helplessly at the girl.. right then it began... it starts raining heavily but the girl didn't give up.

She continues clinging onto the dress and crying so hard.

Though she is shaking from the cold, she still didn't let go until she passed out.

Writer's POV

Andre woke up as he felt Debby's death grip on him... He turns on the bedside lamp and notice she's turning uncomfortably... like she's having a bad dream.

He shakes her gently, trying to wake her up but she doesn't wakes up.

Then he noticed she's shaking as if she's catching a cold... her arms wrapped around his bare body felt hot.

He checked her temperature with his palm and quickly withdrew his hand.

Checking the time from his phone... It's just 3am.

She mutters under her breath weakly and he listened closely to catch the words.

"Mama.. mama.. mama.. mama..."

Andre wipes the lone tear running down her cheek.

He wanted to comfort her but that isn't something he's good at... all he knew was yelling orders at people.. not comforting them.

Not knowing what to do, he reaches for his phone and dialed his Mom's number.

He waited for a while, after few rings she picks up.

"Hello?" Came her sleepy voice.

"Mom... there's trouble!" Andre said and that fully woke his Mom.

"Andre? Trouble?!" Shuffling sounds are heard. "It's 3am.. what's troubling you at 3am?" She asked.

Andre struggles and manage to sit up, resting his back against the headboard.

"It's Debby... she's hot and shaking... I don't know what happened"

"She's hot? Is she awake?"

"No.. I tried waking her up but couldn't"

"She must be having a fever... go make some Chinese chicken soup for her" she told him.

Andre nods but remember she can't see him.

"Ok, mom" he stops when he remembers something very important. "But... I don't know how to make it"

He's also got bad cooking skills.. he couldn't even eat the food prepared by himself.

"Don't worry, I'll send you instructions!" Then she hangs up.

Andre gently unwraps Debby's arms from him and tiptoe put of the room.

He head straight for the kitchen... halfway there, his phone beeps and he quickly checked it.

He sighs when he saw the instructions sent to him. He arrived at the kitchen and takes out a whole chicken... brings out all the ingredients needed.

But what to do first, he doesn't know... He simply stands in the middle of the kitchen with his hands placed on his waist.

Looking at the ingredients is already giving him a headache... He sighs heavily and shakes his head.

After long contemplating, he decided to boil water and takes a glass of warm water back to his room.

When he gets back to the room, Debby's already awake and sitting at a corner in the room... hugging her knees, with tear stain on her cheeks.

Thunderstorm suddenly claps from nowhere and she screamed loudly and hugs her knees more tightly.

Andre frowns and wonder if this was actually the fearless Debby he knew... He placed the glass of water on the nightstand and rushed towards her. "Angel... are you ok?" He asked.

A cold wind blows the curtains in the window and Debby shivers... Andre quickly rushed to the window and shuts it.

"Mama... Mama... Mama" she mutters.

Andre carries her back to the bed and reach for the water.

"Here.. have some warm water, Angel"

He puts the glass in her mouth and tries to get her to have a sip but she simply moved her head and the water pours on him. "Shit!" He curse.

He tries to get up and change but Debby's grip on him is too tight.

"Andre... Andre..." Andre heard her called weakly.

He takes a deep breath and decide to stay in bed with her... He covers her with blanket and hugs her to himself.

"Andre... stay.." she mutters.

"I'm here, Angel, I'm right here don't be scared!" He comforts her.

Slowly she calms down and falls back to sleep... Andre notice she's asleep and kisses her on the forehead.

He watches her for a while and soon fell asleep too.
