IN LOVE WITH MY ASSHOLE BOSS

chapter 16

I woke up many nights to cry; soon Micah found out and inquired on what was wrong.

I told him everything about my family members death, and how we were unable to find the murderers; it turns out he was already aware of everything.

Actually he suspected Gift wasn't my child from the first day we made out; to confirm his suspicions he sent Mr James to find out everything about me; including my parents and how Gift came about.

He then found out that Gift is my brother. What I don't understand is why he kept on playing along, and pretended to not know anything.

He suggested we go face my fear which is going to visit my parents and brother since I couldn't find their murderers.

We went back to my parents home; everything was still in tact as they were when we left. The whole house was covered in dust though, so we had to do some cleaning first.

By the time we finished cleaning and dusting off the house It was already late; so we went to a local restaurant that is sited very close to my house for dinner.

While we were eating someone came and touched my shoulders; I fidgeted at first but then I turned and saw who it was. Behind me stood Jason and Jacob the twin.

They were my classmates back in high school, and we were from the same neighborhood.

After my parents died I lost track of all my friends; it felt good to be meet them again, and to meet them right before my wedding.

I used to be so close to Jason, that people thought we were actually dating. I was busy catching up with an old best friend that I nearly forgot my lovers.

I asked them about our classmates; it turns out that some of them already moved out of the neighborhood.

He said that some are still around; he instead that I should stay for few more days, so that he will arrange an outing meeting with our available classmates.

It was such a good news; I imputed my number in his phone. I also invited them to my wedding which will take place next month.

"you are getting married?" Jason asked
"yes, next month" I told him

I introduced my Micah to them, and introduced Jason and Jacob to Micah. From Micah's facial expression one could tell he was very jealous.

He kept mute and refused to answer all my questions afterwards. His action was so funny, I wanted to laugh, but that may get him more furious. so I had to explain the situation to him.

"you ignored me" he said

"its not that my love; I haven't seen them for 3 years now, so it is expected dear.

"You should have introduced me first" he said

"wait!! Don't tell me you both were an item back in high school" he asked sounding jealous

"No we weren't; we were just friends" I defended

"friends my foot, what friend looks at his friend like that" he says

I couldn't help but laugh at how childishly my bossy lover is acting.

"you are laughing at me" he says and walked out.
I went after him still laughing.

"You are just so cute" I said smiling
He stopped by the door, and I stopped too.

"I will show you what cute means "he says and pulled me closer to him.
Somehow I knew what he was about to go down, just that we were outside.

" hey stop, the kid will soon come out" I told him

"ehee, what happens if he comes out" he asked

"aah, don't tell me you are okay with him seeing us" I asked laughing

"why not" he says

I tried to pull out from him, but he grouped my lips immediately and started to kiss me; then he kissed my neck, and that tickles.

The tickling made me to burst into laughter; then he kissed me all over my face, and neck.

"yuck" a boy's voice screamed

I turned and saw Gift staring at us, and I pulled out of his arms immediately.

"lets go" Micah says and we drove to our hotel. Actually he booked one the night before we came.

This time around he got a family room; according to him he doesn't have to bother about Gift catching us again.

The night was warm and cozy, and we had a great sleep.

The next morning we went to the cemetery to see my parents and brother. It turns out that the place has been cleared and fresh flowers were placed close to them.

I introduced Micah to them, and also Gift who is now growing into a young man. I begged them to forgive me for not visiting them, and also to bless my union with Micah.

Micah said he had something to say to them and I allowed him; he thanked my parents for giving birth to me for him.

He said that if my mom hadn't given birth to me then he won't have met me, not to consider making me his wife.

I couldn't help but cry at that moment; his words were so emotional and touching. He hugged me.

"Why are you crying" I asked Gift

"I don't know, mom" he says

I pulled him closer to us and we hugged.

We visited Aunty Benita after the reunion with the family; turns out they are still leaving in their old house. We had some chatting; Aunty was busy telling Micah how I used to bed wet as a child.

Soon lunch was ready and we all ate. Then aunty Benita brought out my family's old album; I wondered how she had them, and she said that my mom brought them for her to keep.

We used them to pass out time; we didn't have enough money when I was smaller, so mom used to buy big clothing's for me.

She usually says that with time they will become my size, and yes they did become my size.

I couldn't believe those pictures are still in existence, and the fact that Aunty Benita showed them to Micah made me furious.

It was getting late, so we stood up to start going back to the hotel; aunty told us to give her a minute.

She went inside and came back with a small box.

She said mom told her to give it to me if anything happens to her.
I asked her what was inside the box, but she said it wasn't hers to open.

I took it back to the hotel; and as soon as we entered inside I opened it. Mom had this necklace that I used to admire as a child, I begged her for it many times but she refused to give to me.

It is funny that she left it inside the box for me. I told Micah all about the necklace, and how we used to dream of my wedding day.

he thinks it is very strange that mom handed our album over to aunty Benita days before her death, and also prepared the necklace for me.

"It is as if she knew her death would come so soon" Micah says

He collected the case from me, and told me to go and shower, so that I can rest. I wasn't feeling it at first, but when he asked I decided to do that.
