Jessica’s POV
He turned to me smiling and it was so warm I wrapped my hand around him tightly like a bear, he whispered a small thank you to me, I smiled back, we went to the backyard that was reserved for barbecue to have a small welcome party, I invited few people from both our company to come celebrate with us so it was lively, everyone was happily eating and laughing.
Laura and Mike were being all lovey-dovey and grandfather teased them a lot, it was a very happy atmosphere, I looked at Xavier to know if he was enjoying himself but but he was staring at me instead, I blushed to the root of my head, I held his hand under the table and squeezed, We smiled at each other.
The party ended in merriment and those whose houses are near went home while the rest stayed behind, we went into our room and after preparing his bath and clothes, I left him to freshen up himself.
I went downstairs to find the maids .. clearing the the whole place, they pl me as I passed and I replied them back smiling, I sat down at the dinning room with my hands clasped in front of me.
I can’t believe that we have finally caught the criminal, it seemed like it was only yesterday that we all gathered to investigate everything, all the memories kept following through my head, am so glad it has ended and Xavier came back to me.
I went back upstairs to see him lying down, I smiled at him and went to take my own bath, I felt alive as the warm water sprayed on me, it was as if I was washing away all the troubles, stress and horror I accumulated all these days, I sighed in contentment, I spent more time than I do normally in the bath when I came out, Xavier was already asleep, looks like he took his medicine which the doctor said will make him sleepy, I smiled and joined him in bed, cuddling him,
“Ahaa, this feels nice”
The next morning I woke up and Xavier still asleep, well he deserves every rest he can get, I pecked him on his cheeks and l stood up and left the room.
“Good morning everyone ”
I greeted chirpy as I came downstairs to see the others all having breakfast, they all smiled at me,
“You seem too happy this morning ”
Laura said while smiling at me, she looks younger too, guess I wasn’t the only one happy about the whole thing, it’s really showing on everyone’s face this morning, I mean people that are involved in the investigation,
“Am happy”
“Got goodnews for us”
“Well am just happy everything has ended and I can now walk around without having to look over my shoulders ”
“You are right, it’s really relaxing, and now Mike can stay calm anytime I leave the house for something ”
“Well you can’t blame him, see what happened even when I was protected by your company’s guards and we know how strong they are”
“Yes, thank God they survived, they are my friends from the army and they started working for me because am the one”
“Am….. Am really sorry about that, I am happy they are okay too, honestly thought t…. they are dead”
“No don’t apologise, we know what we were getting into when we became guards, so don’t apologise, they are sorry about not being able to protect you ”
“Nay it isn’t their fault okay”
“Yeah, thank you, now join us for breakfast”
“Oh, I will eat with Xavier later, he is sleeping”
“Okay that’s rights, Mike’s sleeping too, I left his ass in the room”
“Language Laura, hahahaha”
“Oh fuck, I mean sorry”
I left them to continue their breakfast and went upstairs, I prepared Xavier’s bath and woke him up, he groaned and opened his beautiful blue eyes and smile when he saw me,
“Good morning beautiful, you look awesome today”
“I can say the same about you, good morning”
“Thank you, I feel refreshed for some reason”
“Well we all are”
“Maybe it’s the relieve that everything has ended”
“Yes, it sure is, come I made you a bath, go have a bath and come downstairs for breakfast, I will be waiting ”
I pecked him and left, I went downstairs again and everyone has left and the whole place has been cleared up, I went to the kitchen and started preparing his breakfast.
I was humming and singing as I made the dish, I choose bacon, egg and pancakes.
By the time I was done he is done too, he came down wearing a sweatpants and gosh he looks hot in those, I checked him up and he smirked at me,
“Like what you see?”
“Yes, I do, wanna do a strip tease for me?”
“That’s tempting but I will pass but if you are offering then I might change my mind”
“In your dreams honey”
“Oh you wouldn’t imagine what I dream about, it’s really something more than strip tease ”
“Oh that nasty, never knew I married a pervert ”
“Now you know, what you gonna do about it”
“Well is it sick if I have no problem with it, well I love you regardless my dear”
“Oh that’s my sweetheart ”
He kissed me right on my mouth and it was a hot, searing kiss,
“If I didn’t have to take my medication later I would have you instead ”
“Well you will have me to yourself on our vocation ”
“Then I wouldn’t mind waiting my love, it’s gonna be so sweet”
“Yeah it will surely, now sit the fuck down and eat”
“You look sexy and hot when you curse”
“Then I will curse more for ya”
“Hahahaha, will like that”
I sat down with him and we started eating, it was the healthiest meal we had and it was awesome.
