Javier's POV

"Cupcake! Can you imagine?”I said to Clyde through the screen as usual he was eating- sundae ice cream with chocolate chip and sprinkles, I craved for it as soon as I saw him eating it, so now we were kinda having breakfast together, just in different countries.

"I think It’s a cute nickname”Clyde said.

"Cute?”I scoffed "Gary the snail is cute"

"I don't understand why you now hate the name Cupcake, you used that a lot when flirting with Emelda, Kayla”he saw my bored face "__so many girls, including Cassandra"

"See he is obviously flirting with her, stupid lecturers, they are no good these days, pretending to be her friend, calling her and even paying her visIt’s, he had this evil look in his eyes but Megan doesn't seem to notice, damn it!”With that I slammed my spoon so hard into my ice cream plate I think it cracked.

"From the look of things you seem angry, why are angry”He asked calmly.

How can he be calm? Don't he see the problem here.

"Of course am angry, that that 'Keith' I said flipping my imaginary long hair and adding a British accent "is tricking Megan with his nickname, smiles, caring and good boy attitude"

Clyde nodded as if he was thinking about what I said or as if he was savouring the taste of his ice cream, "And why are you angry about that, It’s Megan's life, and she's grown up enough to differentiate between bad and wrong, and maybe she likes his attitude and wouldn't mind a little fling"

"What?!”I shouted jumping off my sit and then sitting back down to see a shocked Clyde, "She can't want a fling, she loves Sam remember”I replied scooping a large spoon of the ice cream.

"Javier?”He called the way my mum calls me when she is about to deliver a warning or an advice or to tell me something I really needed to know.

"What?”I asked feeling down at the mention of Sam's name.

"You are Jealous”he stated with a very straight face I knew he was jubilating inside.

"Am__ Am__ I_ I”I didn't know what to say, I looked at him and he was batting his eyelashes at me awaiting my response. I signed and relaxed on the chair.

"Javi_?”He called, I glared at him, he ignored me and continued "Remember that time, Dad traveled to Germany and brought home toys, a yacht and a drone”he asked.

I nodded recalling the memory and the incidents that followed, I smiled.

"Remember, dad gave you the yacht and gave me the drone, you were so jealous, you wanted the drone badly but didn't want to seem ungrateful, every time you saw me with it, you would tell me how ugly, slow and stupid it was”he said now laughing as I joined in slowly.

"I even started believing you and then I smashed the drone in annoyance”he said laughing so much that he couldn't say more.

"I burst into tears when you smashed it asking how you could break such a valuable toy”I completed the story laughing too.

"The look I see in your eyes is the same one I saw in your eyes every time I played with that drone, 16 years ago”Clyde said.

I looked at him and smiled he knew everything about me, he knew me so well.

"I could give other instances too like how you broke my nose when I was dating Irina because you were jealous I got to her first, and how you didn't talk to me for 2 months when I got that rare auctioning skateboard and how_"

"OK OK you are making me seem like the bad guy here, you've also had you flow of jealousy”I said cutting him off.

"Yea but we are talking about you now”Clyde said.

"OK yes am jealous and angry happy now”I said.

"Yes am happy now but I was also happy befo__”my glare cut him off.

"You like Megan and you are angry she likes Sam and jealous that Keith gets to spend time with her”Clyde said.

"I told you she is Nicki Minaj”I saw pouting.

"Hey Sam is not here, this is the first time you've felt this way for any girl, Man up, we can't lose her”Clyde said coming so close to his screen, I could see his grey eyes and long lashes clearly.

"We?”I asked raising my brow at him.

"Yea I tried so hard to get you to fall in love and now It’s finally happening, am not backing up, your happiness is my happiness”Clyde said.

"Eww cheesy”I said turning away from the screen.

"OK I didn't just say that”Clyde said as I laughed so hard, my eyes glittered.

"And am not falling in love, It’s just likeness”I said, love is a strong word.

"Whatever It’s something, so are you going to let Keith get In the way or are you going to steal her heart the good way__not the way you stole Cassandra's own__the girl is a maniac, what did you give her”Clyde asked deflecting from the topic, according to him Cassandra has been pestering his life and that of my workers asking to see me

"Nothing man, just a healthy dose of Dicky-er”I said smiling, he shook his head and went back to the topic at hand.

"Thanks Clyde. You saved the day again”I said, resolving in my heart not to let Megan go.

"Anytime and eh you are still coming right?”He asked.

"Yea of course, I wouldn't miss it for the world”I said smiling and fist bumping through the screen.

"Thanks man, am really nervous and It’s not even the real thing yet, your presence will be needed”he said.

"You can still back out now”I said.

"Nah, am nervous but happy man, very happy”He said.

I signed, "See you”and with that I shut the computer. Wow Four hours, talking with Clyde always takes long and is totally worth it, I feel better already.

I existed the gym room and as soon as I came out I was greeted to the sight of Megan's butt and fine legs. She was cleaning something under the cupboard and was completely oblivious to the effect she had on me. My mouth hang open as I took my time in sneaking back into the gym room. Wow I was seriously horny I've never been this sex starved in all my life and Megan wasn't helping at all. I didn't even feel like meeting up with any girl, they always had one flaw or the other to me now. Megan was the only perfect one, lips, legs, eyes, nose, ear, neck, hair, hip, boobs, everything enticed me. And after I confirmed that she is my Nicki It’s just increased my cravings for her, I've had a hard on ever since the night I tended to her fever.

God help me.

I stayed locked in the gym room for a while, did a little exercise here and there to relax my tense muscles, I sneaked out and had a quick bath, I had some documents I needed to read over and sign, I didn't need any distraction now and Megan was a big welcomed distraction. I locked myself inside the room till I was done with work. I didn't go the office today, because I didn't feel like, I also wanted Megan to rest but apparently she wasn't getting the picture.

Hunger chased me out of the room, it was already after noon, I came out and headed for the kitchen i saw Megan drinking something by the counter looking sexy and beautiful as her hair fell back and she drank the water, I braced myself and walked in, she felt my presence and immediately turned to see me___

Then she choked on something. She started coughing seriously while hitting her chest. I ran to her in panic.

"Megan what's wrong”i asked her not knowing what to do, she kept coughing her eyes turning teary, as she pointed to the glass on the counter. It was coke and ice.

"You choked on ice?”I asked hitting her back as she nodded, she was still coughing and tears were coming out her eyes already. Nothing was helping. I panicked as I carried her up and started jumping up and down, her chest hitting my face but I didn't have time to cherish the moment, I was too busy trying to save a life.

"Cough!”Jump

"It”jump

"Out!!”Jump.

I heard the sound as the ice cube hit the floor, I signed in relive as I brought her down, she was still coughing slightly as she calmed down, her cheeks were wet with tears, I cleaned them with my thumb, "are you OK?"

She nodded then freed her self from my grip, as she wanted to walk away she staggered and I immediately caught her in my arms.

"Am fine Javier, really, thank you”she said, I signed in relief and released her.

I took my lunch of chicken caeser wraps, and sat down on an arm chair to enjoy it, Megan was an excellent cook and I loved her dishes.

"Megan”I called in a serious tone.

"Yes”she said as she left the kitchen and came to stand near me.

"Sit”I said pointing at the chair next to mine.

She looked surprised, she probably thought I was going to complain about the food, it took a minute before she finally sat down.

"There is a button over there press it”I said without looking at her.

I saw her hand search around below, then she saw it and pressed it, she gasped as the chair brought forth an extension raising her legs up, it was a reclining chair.

I felt her looking at me, then I turned to look at her, her eyes held emotions I couldn't explain.

"Close your eyes, I don't like people staring at me while I eat, am shy”I lied to her.

She smiled then closed her eyes, "Thanks for saving my life again pretty boy"

I smiled, "you know am a man right?, 25, so pretty boy doesn't really suit me"

"You are a man, act like a man, speak like a man, but you smile like a boy, genuine, sincere and truthful, that what makes you exceptionally pretty, different from the rest”she said eyes still closed.

Exceptionally pretty, different from the rest, Samuel, Keith, different.

I smiled, what do I say to that?

"And also it's kinda more appropriate to say Pretty boy than Pretty Man, you know”she said eyes still closed and shrugging, "It’s catchy"

I chuckled, she did too, "I prefer the first explanation though"

"Me too”she said not opening her eyes even once.

"Why aren't you opening your eyes?”I asked curious I really wanted to see her shiny brown eyes and tell if she's happy or sad.

"Because you told me to close them”she replied sounding sleepy.

I nodded, remembering I told her to close her eyes and not wanting to disrupt the sleep taking over her.

I brought out my phone.

Regina.

Prepare the jet, Megan and I are leaving for Mexico tomorrow.

Megan's thought.

"Why aren't you opening your eyes?”He asked his voice like music to my ears.

"Because you told me to close them”I answered finally feeling tired and exhausted.

Real answer:

'because am afraid you see what I feel in my heart, because am afraid my eyes will betray me and say the truth, because am afraid you'll find out that__ I have feelings for you thus says my heart, and if you find this out it might change everything and I don't want things to change, I want you to keep being by side, saving me from drowning, thugs, fever and even ice that you unknowingly made to enter my throat with your amazing shirtless body. If You aren't here Javier, I might be alone. Because closing my eyes, helps keep my heart at peace, shields me from getting hurt and stop me from staring at your blue eyes that mesmerize my whole being'.
