Chapter 24
I woke up due to Jason’s phone, which had been ringing repeatedly for some time, and tapped him to wake up.
“I know, it’s my dad.”
“Pick it up.”
“I don’t want to. I know what he wants to talk about,” he said sadly.
“Is it about me?”
“Why will he be talking about my beautiful princess?” He gave me a peck on the cheek while his phone stopped ringing. “Good morning, love.”
“Good morning”
His phone started ringing again, and Jason’s face lit up with an idea.
“Let’s do something,” he said.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“What?”
“You’re going to pick this phone up and tell Dad that I’m still sleeping.”
“I’m not doing that.”
“Of course you will.”
“Why will I?”
“Because I told you too, I’m your boss.”
“This isn’t job-related.”
“Are you complaining?”
“Asshole”
He smirked at me since he knew that he had won the argument and handed me his phone.
“Hello,” I said into the phone.
“Put it on speaker,” Jason whispered while I eyed him.
“Hello, who is this?” His father asked
“This is Lexi Tyler, Mr. Stokes secretary.”
“What are you doing with his phone?” His father’s angry voice blasted through the speaker.
“I’m sorry to tell you this, but Mr. Stokes is unavailable right now.”
“Because he is still sleeping by my side,” Jason mouthed.
“Because he is still sleeping.”
“Give me the phone,” a feminine voice said in the background, and I was sure that was Jason’s mom’s voice.
“Give the phone to Jason now,” the angry female voice said into the receiver, and because I had no idea what to say, I hung up the call.
Jason threw back his head and started laughing as if he had won a lottery.
“I swear, mom is freaking out now. She doesn’t know what is going on. She will be like, Why is Jason’s secretary in his house early on a Saturday morning? Oh my God.”
“This isn’t funny,” I said to him, throwing his phone at him.
“Of course it is. You can’t understand.”
I got out of bed and headed to the restroom when Jason’s voice stopped me.
“Aren’t you going to give me good morning sex?”
“I don’t think my boss has any access to my body,” I replied, and I left him without turning back.
I got inside the shower and sat down in the tub just to think about all the strange things that have been happening to me lately.
1. How Peter almost raped me
2. The strange caller
3. How does Dixie know about me and Jason?
4. How I was being threatened with a knife.

I was grateful that Jason didn’t bother to ask me about what last night panic was all about, and I continued my Adam Lee movie while Jason was receiving some business calls in his study.
Later that night, Judith called me and asked me if I could come home on Sunday to help her feed Mama, our dog, because she was going on a business trip.
“I will be home,” was my reply.
Why won’t I? When she was all I have, when she sacrificed her own youthful stage to become my parents, She gave me a roof to lay my head on, she clothed me, she fed me, and she also sent me to school. And it was also going to give me a chance to do the pregnancy test.
“Jason,” I called.
“Yes”
“I have to go home tomorrow.”
“Why?”
“Because Judith is going on a business trip, and she wants me to take care of Mama.”
“Mama?” Jason asked with confusion written all over his face.
“No, it’s not what you’re thinking,” I laughed. “It’s a dog.”
“Dog? You named a dog ‘Mama’? Who does that?”
“My sister does,” I replied.
“She has to be very pretty then.”
“It’s not a’she’, it’s a ‘he'”
“Wait a minute! You sister named a ‘dog’ Mama; I was even thinking it was a ‘bitch'”
“That’s my sister for you.”
“And you have to leave for a whole day?”
“Yup”
“We can hire someone to take care of the dog.”
“Judith doesn’t trust someone else with her dog.”
“But she wouldn’t know.”
“Of course, she will.”
“The person is going to take care of it very well; I can guarantee you that.”
“It’s going to hurt her if she later finds out that I didn’t do it myself.”
“Ok, fine,” he surrendered.
“Are you angry with me or what?”
“I’m not angry with you, babe.” He sighed. “I’m just thinking about how I’m going to survive a whole day without you by my side.”
“You’re going to be fine.”
“But I’m going to miss you.”
“It’s not forever; it’s just for a day and a night”
“A day and night without you are like a hundred years in darkness.”
“I will miss you too. You know that, right? I love you so much.”
“I love you too,” he replied before putting his mouth on mine.
His kiss became intense, and our legs got entangled in each other.
“I have no option but to eat tomorrow’s food too in advance,” he said into my mouth.
“It’s for a day and a night, not forever,” I said back.
