My bodyguard - Episode 16

 

Stacey woke up the next morning, still feeling happy over what happened between her and Jack.

She took a shower, wore a ripped Jean with a white tank top, she went to the mirror to admire herself before stepping out of the room.

Immediately she came out of the room, she saw John.

Good morning John, she said please help me call jack, tell him I want to go out.

Am sorry MA, said John, Jack isn't around.

What do you mean Jack isn't around, asked Stacey looking a bit worried.

He took some days off MA, he said he needed to rest, said John.

How come i didn't know, added Stacey..

It's ok John, thanks for informing me, she concluded.

MA, let me drive you to where you want to go, said John.

No thanks, don't worry I don't feel like going out anymore.

OK MA, I will be in my room just in case you change your mind, ok John, thank you, said Stacey, with that, she went back to her room, Immediately she got to her room, she laid down on her bed questioning herself.

Why would Jack have to leave without telling me, is he upset with me, or is it because of the kiss, she was lost in thoughts that she didn't know when she fell asleep.

Jack still couldn't get over Stacey, he thought moving out of the house would give him time to think clearly, but he was wrong, because it got worse.

I believe she must be angry with me, since i left without saying a word to her said jack to himself come on jack, you shouldn't be bothered if she is angry or not he said to himself, I came here to clear my head, and not to be lost in her thoughts,he concluded.

He was still battling with his thoughts when he heard a knock on the door,come in said jack standing up.

Hey little princess how are you doing, he inquired, Big bro, I ought to be the one asking how you are doing said precious.

What do you mean by that, said jack with a little frown on his face.

Big bro, please let's face the truth, you can't keep fighting what you feel for Stacey, said precious.

The reason you came home is probably to get her off your mind, but what's the need, when you know you have feelings for her, added precious.

You are right precious, said jack.

I think am in love with Stacey, I always get jealous when i see her with Mark.

But seriously Precious, i don't want this feelings to.

Continue, i just want to get her out of my mind completely.

But big bro, you can't control it, there is no point fighting it, you can't control who your heart will love.

Yea, sis you are right, but why must it has to be Stacey, he said with a worried look.

Precious moved closer to him and gave him a hug, don't worry big bro, all will fall into place, she said.

Stacey was sitting by the balcony, lost in thoughts that she didn't even noticed the presence of her mum, she walked close to her and tapped her on the shoulder, what is it my daughter, you've been like this all day, tell me, are you sick, she inquired trying to check her temperature.

Mum, am not sick, am just bothered said Stacey with a worried look.

Bothered you say? What could be bothering my darling daughter, please talk to me she said. Mum, please sit down, said Stacey, she sat without hesitating.

. Do you remember you said am free to talk to you about anything, asked precious, of course my baby, said her mother cupping her face with both hands, you can always confide in me, said her mother.

Stacey gave a warm smile, knowing that her mother is willing to give her listening ears.

Well mum, the thing is am in love, said Stacey playing with her fingers.. My goodness, her mum screamed excitedly, this is so wonderful, then how come you are worried when you are in love, tell me, have you told Mark about your feelings for him, she said with smiles all over her face.

Mum, can you please slow down a bit, said Stacey.

What is it my child asked her mum.

Stacey took her mother's hands in hers.

Mrs Adekunle was getting nervous by this act, just speak up already my child.. Mum, it's true that i am in love, but certainly not with Mark.

Mrs Adekunle was shocked by the revelation, she withdrew her hands from Stacey's.. What do you mean by you are in love with someone else? Tell me you are joking this minute she inquired.. Mum please calm down.. It's OK my child, am calmed, but how did this all happened, does the person in question feels same for you, she asked.

Mum, I wish i can say yes, but seriously i don't know... This is interesting, said her mum.

Thank God i know the young man my daughter is in love with, Stacey was shocked.. Mum, how come you know?? Relax my dear, I know it's Jack you are in love with said her mother... My goodness, how did you find out mum, Mrs Adekunle smiled.. It's obvious my child, I have watched you from a distance, how you look at him when you think nobody is watching you, even when you shared your first kiss with him, i saw you both.. Stacey hid her face in her hands, feeling a bit embarrassed that her mum knows her little secret.. Come on my dear, you don't have to feel that way said her mother.

Stacey finally found her voice, and decided to speak.. Mum, hope you didn't say a word to dad, her mum smiled and answered, no my dear, I didn't..

. Stacey took a deep breath.

Come here my child, said her mother hugging her, you don't have to stress yourself too much, everything Wil fall in place, she assured her.. Thanks so much mum, for making it easy to confide in you.

Mark came in and interrupted the conversation.
