1556 word(s) Published Episode 16 Bryan's POV "What!!!!...Rose!!" I screamed and jumped off her body leaving her giggling, What just happened??..did I just lay on her? I can't believe it!!! "Wow, that was so sweet..." She muttered with a calm smile before covering her face... "Are you alright or the sickness is affecting your brain??" I half seethed staring at her with a raised brow "I was afraid of falling on the bed, I thought I'd hit my head on the headboard..." She laughed wrapping her body with her arm. "Whatever....take some rest, inside that locker there, you would find a first an of the box, take some drugs, get strong and start your job.." I shrugged and turned to leave. "I don't think I can, I'm down, please help me. I'm sick" she whined and I sneered at her "Rose stop framing this sickness so much, how would you even fall sick so suddenly..it shows you are lazy for this job, I may be forced to report you to my mum and she would fire you!!" He half yelled. "You may doubt me but I know I'm sick..let me start work even when I'm fainting" she smiled and stood up slowly while I watched... She got out of the bed and made two paces forward... right there in my eyes, she loses balance and made to fall on the floor, With the speed of lightning, I got hold of her immediately, her body fell on my arm either... "Rose are you really alright?" I questioned calmly leading her to the bed... "Thanks for saving me, I was dizzy" she mumbled resting her head more "Do you want me to believe you are truly sick???" I asked calmly as I lay her on the bed... "You are doubting me..." She sighed making me took a deep breath... I walked over to the drawer and got some relieving drugs from the box... I served her the drug with a glass of water... "Isn't there any other house help or maid here??" She asked "There are only two cleaners and a chef.." I replied dryly... "Are they around now?" She asked "They are in their rooms, you would get to meet them soon, just take your drug and have some rest of truly you are sick" I shrugged and walked away. I'm already feeling stupid helping her this much, when in this world did I turned soft... I was that guy who was cold-hearted and loved only Sophia, when did I start having concerns about some random Rose flower... Bryan stop being stupid and wait for Sophia to come back, I can't even call her on the phone because she already blocked my line, even on all her social platforms, she blocked me, truly, she hates me but...I couldn't hate her even a bit. Anytime I try, it seemed not to be working, just her picture is enough to soften my heart... Rose's POV... A wide smile escaped my lips as I recalled the recent moment with Bryan. It was too shocking to talk about it. Was I just being lucky??.. Bryan is far away from my class, I'm poor and he is too rich!!! Not just rich but popular!!..how was it possible that common Rose is being carried by him... I feel like fainting now, that soft skin touched mine, I swear the sensation is so deep. I feel like resting on him forever. Well...I think I am a very lucky lady, I and Bryan??? Bryan of all people!!!... A peal of short laughter erupted on my lips as I saw the drug on the stool, okay...who is drinking that??? Me??..when was I sick?..please all those activities is for him to stay with me, I don't want him to leave, I long for his presence... Oh gosh!!.. I'm drooling for the Greek god!! My phone rang and I glanced at it and saw it was my mother calling. She must be worried... "Hey, mum...we are rich!!!!" I screamed jumping up... "What???" She inquired "Guess where I am now?" I said with a giggle "I can't...unless I'm a sorcerer..where are you?.. I had been worried" she stated "I'm right in Bryan's house.." I replied forcing a scream from her mouth, I could also hear Clara scream from the background. "What happened??????" "I'm employed to work as a house help here.." I announced. "How did it happen???..how??..." Clara spluttered "I'll explain when I come home" I laughed before hanging up... My heart was pounding now, I looked around to be sure I hadn't been in a deep sleep... Well....time to work, I'd be going home in the evening. I walked to the bathroom which took me a minute to locate... After taking a thorough bath in the heavenly shower, I dressed up on a blue gown in the cloth rack...I can say it's the best cloth I had ever worn yet it was tagged casual wear. I got out of the room after packing my hair in a bum. Walking down the stairs, I saw Bryan sitting on the sofa with his phone in his grip, he was so calm and wasn't moving, his gaze was just fixed on whatever he was looking at in his phone. "Hey, boss!" I called out with a short laugh. Why I'm I even laughing??? He looked up and I could see he was feeling hurt, ohhh...let it not be that Sophia again. "Rose is it possible for a lady to leave her boyfriend that did nothing to her??" He asked me in a slow tone that exuded pain. Gosh!!.. "Oh yes, it is..." I replied and sat beside him. "Really??" "Yes...a lady that doesn't love you would leave you even when you did nothing to her because she had never loved you from the beginning..." I breathed and he arched his brow. "Does it means that Sophia never loved me??" He asked abruptly "Yes..she never love you, please forget about her, she is gone.." I purred "I don't want to believe that, there is no way I can love any other girl, she has my heart, everything... I gave her everything, there is no way any girl would get my heart!!" He muttered wagging his head. What is he saying??.. "You mean...you...hate me??.." I asked slowly "You??... I'm still contemplating" he mumbled staring into my face. "Are you aware I'm madly in love with you??" I asked with a babyface. "You don't love me, that why you made me carry you on my back" he whined "Oh baby, i...needed to feel your body...." "Huh??.. i thought you said you were sick..?" He asked "Oh yes...yes.I'm sick.." I said smiling sheepishly. "You can go to the room at the other side and meet the other cleaner and chef.." He said and I shrugged. "I want to stay with you only" I rolled my eyes. "Hey, Rose check this out, that is my song with Sophia when things were still right," he said and fixed one of his earpieces into my ear. I came closer with our body touching, Wow...it was so sweet, Bryan's voice was like an angel and that of Sophia didn't sound good to my ear, maybe my hatred for her is the reason. "That was so good right??..now tell me which other ladies would have that voice to match with mine??.." He sighed with hurt in his eyes. "Bryan, if you find a lady that has a sweet voice than her, would you accept her as your girlfriend?" I asked and he arched his brow at me "I don't think there is any...why do you ask?" I couldn't say more, I just swallowed hard, the fact that he is still head over heel in love with Sophia is killing me. "No lady could sing like Sophia, many competitions had been organized but none could scale through" he breathed hopelessly. "Bryan....." I called feeling the urge to sing for him. "Huh???" He replied but I couldn't say anything again What if he doesn't like my voice?..what if he still loves Sophia even after singing? "You want to say something??" He asked "Do you have a studio here?" I asked "Yep, what....do you wanna sing?" He questioned "Maybe...show me the room," I said and he took me there immediately. I could see how anxious he was to hear my voice, he was even walking at a quick pace. I think it's time to show my talent of singing to him, maybe..maybe that would make him love me. We finally got there and he gave me a stool to seat... After a few settings, he gave me the mic. " Which song are you gonna sing?" He asked "Evergreen.." I replied lowly Would this change anything?? Was I doing the right thing?? I took a deep breath as the background music went on... I closed my eyes ready to sing... Just then, the unexpected happened... Bryan phone rang... He quickly paused the music background and brought out his phone. "Sophia!!!!!" He screamed with his eyes glistening immediately. I could see joy fill his eyes, he was so glad she called... Oh no!!! Why would she call??? "Hello.." He called out with a passionate tone, the voice of someone deeply in love. I didn't hear Sophia's voice but what Bryan said later left me shaken... "You are coming back?"
