Chapter sixteen – She doesn’t need it She kept her lips on his and as he was astonished, they were closed, his were rather opened. And he looked at her closed eyes, he couldn’t help but think, ‘This tigress is rather naïve, who told her that this is the way to kiss? I will be a fool to let this cup pass me by. Bring it on my lady.’ Just then, Tilda made a move to pull back, but before she knew it, he held the back of her head and took her lips in his mouth. Tilda shuddered at the contact, she had no idea about that feelings and so, she struggled to push out of his arms. The hot pepper that they had both eaten Fred, thought it was wise to let her go at that moment and so, he released her. Tilda watched him with anger but the confused expression was more obvious, she then asked Fred, “Just what was that? What did you do to me?” Fred’s eyes could hardly open but he tried all his might to look composed, he sighed loudly from his stomach through his mouth and licked his lips and then, he could finally look at her. When his eyes met hers, he closed his and responded to her, “I thought you wanted to kiss me and so, I gave you exactly that. What you were doing, do you call that a kiss? What an amateur.” Tilda looked away from his sight and then said to him, “Since the first one was and mistake and you took it as seduction, I thought I should at least give you a proper kiss. I don’t think this one too was also worth the claim seduction, do not ever think that you have won over me.” Fred wasn’t feeling so great and so, he moves to the office chair and picks up some files and then says to her, “Take these to the managers office, you should return after thirty minutes.” Tilda watched him and saw that his temperament had changed and so, she took a step closer to him and asked a little worried, “Are you okay? It seems that you are not looking that good.” Fred clears his throat and swings his chair around so that his back is facing her and then said to her. “Get out of here or I can’t promise to be good to you.” Tilda looks on confused but then takes the files and gets out if the room. She kept wondering why he was suddenly looking like he had lost his breath and looking pale. Her heart was racing as well and so, she kept slapping her chest throughout the elevator to the second floor and into Jacob’s office. Tilda entered it after getting permission to get in. She greeted him with a smile on her face and puts the files on the table. Jacob realizes that she kept slapping her chest and so he asked, “Why do you keep doing that? Are you feeling chest pains? Aren’t you healed from your sickness?” Tilda shakes her head and responds to him, “I am alright, and I don’t feel any pain but my heart is racing so much, I don’t know what is wrong. I felt a shiver a while ago and my heart hasn’t stopped beating fast.” Jacob looked at her silently and asked her scratching his hair, “I don’t know if I am being inquisitive, but can I ask you what you were doing that sent shivers up your spine? Oh, so, you don’t think much of why I am asking, I am trying to determine the reason behind your heart racing apart from being sick. You know, I have …” Tilda laughed out and she recalls what she was doing, she thought it wasn’t a good idea to talk about it and so she said to him, “I can’t believe you are this nervous about asking me this question. It’s nothing you should worry about, I will be alright in any minute from now. I just have to get my mind off the situation and I will be fine.” Jacob looks at her closely and tries to explain himself the more and so, he said, “You know, I stay with my mother…” He sees that Tilda lips are opened at his words and so, he smiles and continues, “Because, she is sick, she got into an accident some years back and I have been taking care of her since.” “Oh my God, is she doing alright? What am I even asking, you said it was years back, and so, if she stays with you then, I guess she isn’t doing too well.” Jacob nods his head and explained, “She has a heart problem, if anything triggers it, it will keep accelerating to the point that she will collapse.” Tilda closes her mouth with her palm and tries to lighten the environment and so she says to him, “You don’t have to add to your troubles, didn’t you see how I was eating two days ago? You won’t believe me but I just finished three more plates. Heart disease can’t survive in my being.” “Is that so? Hahaha, it’s all good then. Okay, off you go then or you might get in trouble with your boss.” Jacob quipped in laughter. Tilda has a smile on her face until she heard her boss. Jacob caught on it and asked, “What? You don’t want to go back? Yes I think he will cause you trouble?” Tilda shook her head and responded to him, “I’m afraid maybe, I might be paying more than a penalty when I am done with him but you know what? I don’t even have to a million in my account. The little that I have made, my stepmom should be out shopping with it.” Jacob frowned and asked her, “She has your permission?” “She doesn’t need it.” Tilda replied suddenly looking down spirited. Jacob stood up and stretched his hand to touch her head as a means of comfort but then, before it reaches Tilda, she takes a step back and says to him abruptly, “I will be back for the file in twenty minutes. I should be going.”
