Redemption - Episode 38

 

Benedicta:

"Good morning sunshine." I say as Lucas's eyes blink open. His arms are still wrapped around me as we lie in a spooning position, with my back to his front. I have been watching him sleep for some minutes now.
"So yesterday wasn't a dream?" He asks and grin.
"Would dream Benedicta do this?" I ask as I press my lips to his temple.
He groans then smirk.
"Well. Maybe." He says.
"How about this?" I plant another kiss on his cheek.
"Dream you can certainly do that . Try something else." He teases and poke his lips out.
"Is that you impersonating a fish?" I tease and he fake gasp while clutching his chest.
"You just took this knightly heart and crushed it, evil queen Bee. Now, I have to punish you." He says and before I can blink, his lips are on mine. I push out of his arms and stand up.
"Ewww. Gross. You haven't even brushed your teeth." I twist my face off in disgust. Lucas winks at me before standing up.
"You look pale babes." He says and place his hand on my head to feel my temperature.
"You feel a little hot. Are you fine? Do you feel sick?" He rambles on and I have to place my finger against his lips to shut him off.
"I think I'll be fine after a kiss." I say and press my lips against his.
"Babes." He says before wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me up

. I wrap my legs around his waist as I get consumed in his kisses. I feel drugged by these kisses. Never have I felt this way. Not even with Luis.
"I. Love. You. Bee." He says, punctuating each words with a quick peck. First on both my cheeks. Then my forehead. Then the tip of my nose.
"You make me feel good Lucas." I breathe out and cling to him.
"You should probably come down now before I devour you on this rock." He says and I press myself more into him.
"You shouldn't do that, Bee. You are scattering all my restraints babes."
"What if I tell you, I want to be devoured Mr Lucas." I whisper into his ears and I swear, I hear him growl as he takes my head in his palms and kiss me deeply with an urgency of a man drinking from an oasis in the desert. I feel like my body is on fire as I hold on to him and let him devour me.
"Hey! Lucas! Take it easy with the lady. Just one day on a deserted island and you are already acting like a caveman!" I hear someone familiar yell and it sounds distant. I would have thought I imagined it but Lucas starts kissing me faster and muttering something about killing the interrupting bastard. I pull away from Lucas and that's when I notice the noise above us.
"Lucas and Bennie standing in a cave. Kissing!" I look up to see James singing into an intercom thingy while the plane he is on drops a ladder in between Lucas and I.
"Ladies first." Lucas gesture to me and I blush. James won't let me live this scene up.

Lucas:

"Would you like to come with us to the children's show?" I ask Benedicta as we ride in the back of the van while James drive.
"Umm I don't want to intrude and I am not exactly dressed for this." She says while fiddling with the jacket james lent her earlier.
"That's not a problem."I tell her.
"James, can you stop by Eva's boutique before heading for the TV station?" I say to James.
"Sure thing boss."
"Thank you. I'll need your phone too." I say and he throws his phone to me.
I dial Eva's number and wait for her to answer.
"Hello? Eva speaking."
"Yea, Eva. It's Lucas." I say.
"I have been trying to reach you! Your suit is ready. Are you picking it up today?" She asks.
"Yea. I am actually on my way. Can you pick out a ladies dress. Not too extravagant but beautiful."
"Oh, sure. Leave that to me. What size is your date?"she asks and I pause and look at Benedicta.
"What size do you wear?" I whisper to her and she shrugs.
"I think a 10 would do but bear in mind that she's busty." I say and end the call before bursting into laughter at Benedicta's facial expression.
"I am not busty!" She spit out and fold her arms under her boobs.
"You know whenever you do that, I get distracted. It's like they want to spill out and greet me." I say and she gasps.
"Pervert!" She says and slap my shoulder.
"Oww. Come on babes. They are perfect." I tell her and she smiles.
"I know right." she says and we both laugh.
"Thanks for coming with me to the kid's show. You know Daisy is shy but I think she'll relax with you there." I tell her and squeeze her hand lightly.
"Anything for you guys. It has only been a week but I love you all already."
"Wait. You just said you love me."I say excitedly.
"I was going to say like my family." She adds and stick her tongue out at me.

*************
Benedicta:

"Come on, sweetie. I can't go up there with you. It's your show." I say to the fretting Daisy. She's currently holding on to the pretty gown Lucas got me.
"Please. Just come with me. Or I won't go on stage. The cameras are scary." She cries and I sigh.
"Baby girl, just block the camera crew out. Just imagine that you are singing alone in the bathroom. Like we always do." I tell her.
"But you are also always singing with me in the bathroom." She states and I sigh.
"We are live in three minutes people!" The producer screams for all to hear and I think the little girl just went paler.
"I want my mommy! She's always here whenever we go on television. You don't want to go with me." She cries. What do we do now? I see Lucas walk out with Jason. They are both wearing the same suit. God, he's hot and Jason looks like his father. He is sure going to break hearts someday. Lucas finally notices us and walks up to us.
"Why is she crying?" He asks.
"She wants me to go on air with you guys." I say.
"Of course you are coming with us." Lucas says and I freeze.
"What?!"
"Yay!" Daisy and I yell at the same time.
"But, I am just a Nanny." I whisper.
"Not anymore." Lucas says.
"Take your places people!" The producer yells again and Lucas starts pulling me into the arranged studio.
"No! Stop!" I whisper yell as he pushes me down onto a chair beside him and the kids.
"In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Action!"
"Hi guys. This is another edition of your favorite show. And as promised, we have Jakes rock star children in the house!" The host says to the camera and the studio goes up in cheers and applauds. I plaster a nervous smile on my face. I am going to get embarrassed again.
"Hi kids." She continues.
"Hi Natalie." Jason and Daisy say simultaneously.
"As you will notice, they are not alone. We have Jake is partner and friend, Lucas. I think the ladies would be happy about this guest." She teases and Lucas grins.
"I am sure they are." He says and I go pale.
"And who do we have here?" She says focusing on me and I swallow my tongue.
"Umm I_ I_" I stutter
"She's the kid's music teacher and Jake and my label's new artiste." Lucas intercepts and I turn stunned eyes to him.
"Isn't she the Nanny the web is talking about?" The host asks and I want to bury myself. Why can't the ground open and swallow me up?
"Oh, that was before I discovered her talent. You see, when the press told me she was an aspiring artiste, I was shocked at first. Just that day, i was stuck with the kid's song and she figured it out! I did some digging and found out she just graduated from the federal university of Port Harcourt in music! You all know Jake and I find raw talent and make them stars, well Benedicta here is am epitome of raw talent. That's why I brought her here. She's singing with the kids and I." He says. There's an uproar in the studio and I just feel like I am dreaming.
"Can someone get her a microphone so we can get this studio rocking?!" Lucas says and the studio erupt in cheers. My hands are sweaty, I am freaking out.
Someone hands me a microphone and in seconds, I am dragged by Lucas to the middle of the stage with the kids.
"What are you doing?" I whisper to him.
"Giving you wings to fly." He says with sincerity and my heart skips a thousand beats. I love you, I want to say but I am still stuck.

***********
Benedicta:
"That was amazing! You are really a star." Lucas squeals as we walk into the small room given to us. I am still shaking but he's right, I killed the song.

. In a good way. I was nervous at first but once I started singing, the music took over. The kids were also amazing and it was fun.
"I can't believe all these is happening. They even asked me to sing one of my songs." I say quietly. I am beyond stunned.
"You rock, aunt Bennie. I think I like you now." Jason says and I feel like I am going to cry in joy.
"You belong up there sweetie." Lucas says. I just can't help it, I lunge myself at him and hug him fiercely.
"Shh. Bee. No more tears for you." He says as I sob into his shoulder.
"Will you get your claws off my man?" I stiffen when I hear talina's voice and I quickly pull away. How did I not hear the door open?
"You crazy woman! I told you to__" she tries to claw at me with her nails but Lucas pushes her back.
"Stop it talina!" He grinds out.
"But you are mine!" She spits out.
"I am not!" Lucas spits back.
"You think you can get away from me? You are going to pay!" She grab the small microphone from Daisy and lunge at Lucas this time and impulse pushes me to protect Lucas. I feel the microphone hit the back of my head as I cover Lucas with my body.
