“Good morning ma’am!” The maids greeted with a slight bow as they noticed Jasmine’s presence in the kitchen.
“Good morning!” She replied with a smile.
“Do you need something ma’am? We can get it prepared” One of the maids asked.
“Oh no! I actually wanted to cook something today!” She said.
“You don’t need to bother about that ma’am, just tell us what you need and we’ll get it ready!” Another said.
“No! let me do it…”
“Okay! We’ll just help you out! Just tell us what to do” A maid said.
“I’ll sort everything out myself!… Y’all can go back to your quarters or probably take a day off” She suggested.
“But ma’am,, Mr Nolan… ”
“Don’t worry about it,, you have my permission! It’s just for today anyways, then Maybe next time, I can do with your help” Jasmine said.
“Really ma’am!! Thank you!” They all squealed happily.
“It’s not a problem!” She said. They all began to pull off their apron.
“Thanks again Ma’am!!” they appreciated.
“Oh goodness! I’m finally gonna pay my boyfriend a visit”
“Lucky you! You have a boyfriend. I’ll just spend my whole day at a beauty salon”
“Right!! I’ll go with you! My hair’s a mess;!”
Jasmine smiled as they muttered within themselves while leaving. Now she’s gonna have this entire house all to herself.
It’s Sunday! So definitely; Liam’s gonna be at home… Though he’s still asleep,, remembering what happened between them last night,,, She shook off the thought, not wanting to think about it.
She picked an apron, putting it on. She stared around looking a bit confused… Now she forgot to ask the maids what Liam’s favorite dish is. It’s a good thing though, it would be suspicious if she’d asked the maids.. I mean, being the wife of their master, she’s supposed to know everything about him right?.
Releasing a slight shrug, she’s just gonna settle for a light dish… pancakes!! That would do.
Few minutes passed and she was so engrossed in making the dish. She didn’t even notice Liam’s presence, not until he hugged her from the back making her gasp and in the process, spilling, some flour on her face.
“Hey sweetheart! You look cute with the flour on your face!” Liam teased.
“oh really? How about some little flour on your face!” She threatened.
“No! That’s really a bad joke” He moved some distance away from her.
“Good! Now, stay there and let me finish up!” Jasmine said washing off the flour from her face, then continued making the pancakes.
“Why are you here alone? Where are the maids?” Liam asked.
“Oh! I told them to take a day off!”
“And why’s that?”
“Because I wanted to spend the whole day with you baby!” Jasmine said sending him a wink.
“That’s so sweet of you sweetheart!” He said smiling.
“Here! Help me with this!” She said, handing him some dish.
“I bet this is gonna be delicious… just as you!”
“Jerk!!” Jasmine muttered as they headed to the dining.
…..
“What are we gonna do now!” Liam asked. They were done with the meal.
“Something fun I guess!”
“How about we kiss all day! That is something we can do right?’ Liam said smirking.
“Oh right!! But sorry to burst your bubbles, You aren’t allowed to kiss me until further notice!”.
“What?” He furrowed his brows.
“Yes! and that’s the punishment you ger for what you did last night”
“I was just repaying a favor! You don’t have to punish me this way. You know I can’t live for a second without kissing you” Liam said making a puppy face. He kinda looked cute doing that.
“Deal with it baby! No kisses”..
“But, If you agree to my terms, and you’re able to impress me, then maybe, just maybe… I’ll let you gain access to my lips and you can kiss me all you want.
His eyes widened… “What is it?”
“Be my maid for a day!” Jasmine said smirking.
“What!! Hell No!!” Liam argued.
“Okay then!” She simply said playing with her fingers.
“You’re serious?” Liam asked like he wasn’t sure she’d proposed that.
“Of course! I mean every word!”
“Okay Fine!! Like I have a choice” He said.
“Great! Now get me a piece of cake” Jasmine ordered.
Liam groaned, he stood up and went to the kitchen… Getting a piece of cake, he walked back and handed it to Jasmine.
“I need an head massage!” She said.
Liam made to walk behind her but she stopped him. “Sit!” She ordered like a queen.
Liam glared at her a bit making her chuckle… “Remember! If you impress me….” She trailed off. Liam quickly wiped the glare off his face and replaced it with a sweet, loving smile.
He quickly sat down… Jasmine laid on the sofa, placing her head on his laps.
“Now, head massage!” She ordered.
“Yes ma’am!!” Liam answered as he began to give her soft massage while she began to chew on her cake.
Liam’s eyes lingered on her lips as she chewed her cake slowly, licking her lips.
Sometimes, she’d rub the cream on her lips then lick it off. Liam couldn’t get his eyes off her lips. He’d wish he was the one licking them off.
This is the same question he hasn’t found the right answer to it… Everytime he stares at her lips,,, he keeps fighting the urge of grabbing her and kissing her roughly.
He continued to give her a head massage until she finished the cake.
“Uhmm! That was delicious!” She moaned out, licking her lips.
Liam groaned silently… She shouldn’t be doing this to him.
He gave her the head massage softly until he heard soft snores escaping from her lips.
He smirked as he watched her sleeping figure. He swooped her into his hands heading upstairs.
He carefully laid her on the bed. Staring down at her, he noticed a tiny cream at the corner of her lips. He smirked,, leaning forward, he licked the cream off, then placed a lingering kiss on her lips.
She released a light smile still fast asleep.

Adam’s Apartment;
A knock came on the door as Adam paused Wondering who it is!. It couldn’t be Jasmine or Jace! Neither could it be Stephen! He wasn’t expecting him until tonight.
The knock came again.. He quickly wiped his hands with the kitchen napkin. Pulling the apron off, another knock was heard.
“Hold on a sec!!” He almost yelled… it was beginning to piss him off.
Opening the door, a deep frown appeared on his face. This was the least person he’d expected to see. He balled his fist and clenched his jaw!!.
“Hi!!” Martin said, releasing an awkward smile.
It took Adam a whole lot, controlling himself not to punch him hard on his face.
What the h*ll does this bastard want??
“What are you doing here?” Adam asked,, he wasn’t in the mood to exchange pleasantries.
“Okay! I know you’re mad at me for what I did before! Look, I’m really sorry… Can we bury the past in the past and sign a good friendship for the future?”
Adam scoffed… Sign a good friendship indeed!! The Martin he knew wasn’t remorseful for whatever he did to Jasmine,, and now, he’s back to tell folktales… How ridiculous!!.
“What are you doing here?” Adam repeated, sounding stern.
Martin took it as a point that he wasn’t welcomed,, so he went straight to the point.
“I’m here to see Jasmine!” He said. Adam raised an eyebrow.
“Really?”
Martin nodded!!… “Please let me see her!”
“And why should I? After all you did to her?” Adam asked.
“I made a mistake!”
“Oh! So now it’s a mistake!… For years, you didn’t bother to come apologize to her and now you say it’s a mistake!?…. Well, to cut the long story short, I’ll gladly inform you that Jasmine is married, Yes! Happily married to Liam Nolan.. CEO Liam’s empire!”
Martin remained silent… He was seriously burning with anger but he decided not to let it obvious.
” It’s in the newspaper, you can grab one and see for yourself!” .
“You have to help me Adam! I seriously regret my actions. I love Jasmine.. I’m willing to do anything for her”.
“Did I just hear you say love? You don’t fit to say the word love. If you really did love her like you claimed, then you wouldn’t ditch her like you did.. You wouldn’t treat her like a piece of trash.
You know, I’m glad Jasmine didn’t end up with a pervert like you. Sometimes I wonder what made her fall so deeply in love with you. I’ll rather see you get rejected a million times than talk Jasmine into getting back with you” Adam gasped.
Martin’s eye twitched in anger… This stupid gay is getting on his nerves!!
“I’ll take my leave now!” Martin said through gritted teeth.
“Yeah! you should… Jasmine isn’t yours and will never be yours… Don’t ever come back…” Adam said, slamming the door.
Martin groaned as he kicked the wall.. He has never been insulted.
He’d wanted to win Adam over because he’s the key to getting Jasmine back. Coming here was useless, Seems Adam’s no near getting convinced.. He’s just gonna do everything by himself.
By all means, he’s gonna get Jasmine back and once he does, he’s so gonna make Adam pay for raining such insult on him.
With that, he walked back to his car and drove off in full speed.
