MY NAIVE COOK - CHAPTER 15&16
🍃 Dave’s pov 🌿
I was so engrossed in the meeting that I forgot to look after Rose and what she was taking.
She’s so intoxicated right now. Did she take another drink apart from the one I gave her?
How am I going to control the steering and this drunk lady beside me. I already told the driver earlier to go home since we might likely be finishing late.
“Rose you need to start walking” I said as she stood still staring round the hall with one leg of her shoe in her hand.
“Was I supposed to fly huh”? She blurted out, laughing out loud afterwards.
Good thing it’s just she, Rita and myself remaining in here and some security personnel.
“Don’t worry sir, I will assist her to walk” Rita suggested and on an attempt to hold Rose, she shifted immediately.
“Don’t touch me, only my boss will” she snapped, making a pouch afterwards.
Did she just call me boss right now?, I noticed Rita threw a quick puzzled face. Obviously she’s thinking a lot right now.
“Are you serious right now”? I muttered and she nodded in response.
What did I get myself into!
“Please save us this drama and walk okay”? I pleaded.
“Okay, just for you” she mumbled and began walking, slowly though.
******* ********* **********
“I will be on my way home sir” Rita said after I managed to put Rose into the car.
“I am so sorry about that” I apologized as I took Rose’s hand bag and the remaining leg of her shoe from Rita who nodded simply.
“Do you mind joining us, i will drop you….”
“It’s fine sir, my cab driver is on his way already” she muttered cutting me off.
“Good night sir” She added and without waiting for any more response from me, she walked away, scrolling through her phone.
Somehow I think she’s was sounding off during the meeting. Is something wrong with her?
“Why isn’t the car moving sir”? I heard Rose ask from the car.
Who on earth gets drunk with Just a glass of grape wine?
******** ************ ***********
As expected Rose was quite till we reached home. She’s obviously dead asleep.
I carried her into her room, straight to her bed and as I tried leaving surprisingly she grabbed by shirt.
“Are you leaving me all alone here”? She mumbled, rubbing her eyes.
“Seriously”? I snapped.
“Am I no longer your girlfriend”? She blurted out, still holding tightly onto my shirt.
At this point I really don’t know what next to say or do exactly.
She’s so sober when drunk.
“Rose you are drunk, you need to rest” I said, trying to free myself from her grasp.
“I am not”! She retorted, holding onto me even more tightly.
“What do you have me do huh”? I blurted out hopelessly.
Anymore dragging is definitely gonna ripp my shirt.
“I am scared of staying here alone” she said lowly, releasing my shirt.
Thankgoodness!
“Nothing is gonna….”
My phone beeped, interupting me in the process.That’s Rita, she texted me she has gotten home.
Turning back to Rose, she’ve already drifted to sleep.
“Phewww, that was a lot” I mumbled as I gently removed the pair of shoe on her leg.
She wore the shoe back in the car?
Jezzzz……
Successfully taking off her jewelleries, I exhaled deeply.
Will she be comfortable sleeping in that dress?, I pondered wether to remove it or not.
Nah, she’s not my sister, she could get the wrong idea when she wakes up tomorrow.
I will just open up the zipper at least.
Slowly turning her over, I was able to unzip her dress and then covered her with the blanket.
Glancing at her once more, I put out the light and left for my room, closing the door gently behind me.
I wouldn’t want her start yet another drama.
This is definitely a mistake I wouldn’t do again!
*********** ************** ******
Staring into the space as I layed on my bed, I pondered over the whole drama that happened today.
Is Anita spying on me?, Thought her cousin told me she was out of town.
That girl is a whole lot of drama on its own, I definitely can’t deal.
Why was she acting like I was responsible for our breakup at the saloon.
She herself knows I tried to put in alot of effort to make us work out but she wouldn’t just change no matter what I do!
Wh@??ver!
Just remembering her irritates me.
I really need to catch some sleep, putting out my side lamp, I drifted to sleep.
*********** ************** *********
8: 30 am, the next day
“Arrghhh” I groaned, tracing the whole bed in search of my ringing phone.
“Hey…..” I mumbled into the phone.
“Good morning sir” I heard from the phone.
I didn’t even check who the caller was before answering.
“Sec Rita”? I muttered, more like a question to be sure.
“Yes sir, you aren’t yet here at work so I called to…..”
“I wouldn’t be coming today” I muttered, cutting her off.
“Is everything okay, you don’t sound….”
“Yeah, just a little bit down” I replied, Interupting her once more.
“Please postpone all my schedule for today” I added and she muttered a simple”okay ” before she hung up.
Dragging myself up, I headed to the bathroom.
And just as I stepped back into the room, my phone started to ring again.
What’s with the calls this morning huh?, I snapped as I reached for my phone.
Mum?, why on earth is she video calling me!
“Hey”!!
“What’s happening”! I snapped as I least expected my bunch of sisters on the screen at once.
“Hey honey” my mum spoke first and in return I rolled my eyes.
Why is she sounding like we are cool.
“Good morning everyone” I mumbled as I placed the phone on my table and reached for the hair dryer.
“Good morning”! They all echoed back.
What else do they want to gossip me about right now.
“How was your night” my mum asked.
“Fine and yours”? I replied bluntly.
“No work today”? She added and I nodded simply.
“Still Angry huh”? She questioned, causing me to scoff in return.
“I miss you Dave” Zara muttered from the back.
“I miss you too baby” I replied, giving a smile.
“So it’s only Zara you missed huh”? Serah questioned.
“I miss you all”
“Lies”! Clara chipped in.
“Sophia how are you doing “? I asked ignoring Clara.
“I am fine darling, how about you “? She replied and I nodded.
“You actually need to unblock me ” Serah snapped and the rest bursted out laughing while I rolled my eyes in return.
“Not anytime soon” I retorted.
“Really?, you think…..”
“Dave how’s your new girlfriend”? Zara asked out of the blues, interupting Serah on the process.
“Zara”! They all shouted and she held her lips immediately.
“What girlfriend”? I questioned.
What is she talking about?
“Don’t mind her” Sophia replied almost immediately, smiling broadly afterwards.
“I know that’s all fake, can someone tell me what she meant huh”? I asked and they all looked away.
“I am serious, what did she…..”
“She was just asking about your new cook” My mum replied and I scoffed.
“You all are being suspicious right now and…”
“I am visiting you, come pick me up at the airport tomorrow”! Clara blurted out cutting me off.
“What?, hey you can’t……”
They hung up before I could complete my statement.
This people got to be kidding me!
Clara of all people?
d@mn…..!
🍃 Anita 🍃
“Anita why are you crying”? My friend asked me for the 100th time today.
“Anita talk to me, what’s wrong”? She asked this time, cleaning some tears off my face.
“I saw Dave yesterday” I muttered.
“Where?, at my party” Ella asked confused.
“I saw him in a beautiful saloon where I went to get my makeup done”
“That’s why you are crying”? She asked.
“Ella I saw him with his new girlfriend” I blurted out and bursted out crying.
“How sure are you that the girl you saw him with yesterday is his girlfriend”?
“The saloon staff confirmed it yesterday” I cried even more.
“Anita stop crying ” Ella said, hugging me tightly.
“You would be fine okay “? She consoled.
“I still love Dave and you know it” I said lowly, wiping my tears.
“I don’t even know why you came back, I told you not to come into town until you’ve completely gotten over him” Ella said and scoffed Angrily.
“Are you going to keep crying “? Ella snapped.
“I just want Dave back ” I blurted out.
“Anita you just said you saw Dave with his new girlfriend ” she asked confused.
“I don’t care, am going for Dave not some stupid girl.
“Anita you need you to calm down” she reminded.
“I am going to his house today” I blurted out and earned a glare from her.
“Anita what for”? Ella asked in a concerned tune.
“Am going to sort things out with him” I mumbled.
“Anita shouldn’t…..”
“Ella don’t worry, I would be fine” I assured.
“Don’t do anything funny please”
“I wouldn’t, I am just gonna focus on correcting my mistakes” I muttered, putting out a smile.
“That’s fake please “! Ella said and we both bursted out laughing.
🍁 Rose’s pov 🍁
I have been doing everything possible to avoid my boss, can’t wait for him to go to work already.
I don’t even remember how I got to my bed last night and waking up to an open zipper?
Arrghhh…..
I feel so awkward!, I groaned loudly.
I hope I didn’t do anything so bad last night, I sobbed.
Checking the time, it’s 9:30am, my boss must have eaten and gone to work, I need to go clear the table.
With that I stood up and headed to the dinning room.
“Omg”! I screamed as I met eyes with my boss.
Why is he just eating by this time?, I pondered hard, standing in shock as I stared at him with my eyes widely open.
“Are you okay”? He asked, throwing a confused stare.
“Yes sir, good morning” I answered immediately and tried rushing off.
“Rose” I heard him call, halting me.
Well I didn’t turn to face him, I just can’t!
“You didn’t give me drinking water”! He muttered.
“Am sorry sir, let me go get it” I blurted out and rushed off immediately.
Phewww…, I almost had a heart attack.
Why is he still at home?, I kept wondering while taking out a bottle of water from the fridge.
***************** *******************
“Here it is sir” I muttered, handing him the water.
Wait, I just observed my boss is not even dressed for work.
Omg, let it not be what I am thinking..
Should I ask him if he is going to work today or not?
“Uhmm sir, are you not going to work today”? I asked him lowly.
“Yeap” he simply replied, dropping the glass on the table.
“Why”? I blurted out almost immediately, obviously disappointed.
“Huh”? He replied with a puzzled look.
As expected, he literally doesn’t owe me any explanation so why should I even ask?
“Are you expecting anyone”? He asked lowering his eyes with a smirk on his lips.
“No sir” I replied immediately, packing up the dishes on the table.
Someone?, I know no body in this town!
“Never knew you were this bad when drunk” my boss said and I kept quiet.
God knows I don’t want to talk about this, not now!
“How about we take a stroll later today, what do you think”? My boss asked, scrolling through his phone.
Is he refering to me or someone in the phone?
“What do you think”? He repeated, this time he stared into my face.
“I don’t like trekking” I blurted out, not knowing what else to say.
“Who is talking about trekking”? He said laughing so hard.
Is strolling not just a hype word for trekking?
Why does he even want to stroll with me!
