Chapter Eighty Eight

She remembered that she had planned to tell him about her love for him tonight.

"Chris..."

"I will be right back!!" Christopher interrupted what Rose was about to say. He stood up and rushed into the bathroom to have a cold shower to calm himself.

Rose was about to tell Christopher about her feelings when he interrupted her and rushed into the bathroom. She saw his manhood pushing hard against his shorts. She had also felt it earlier but seeing it was another story. Slowly, a smile started to spread on her face. She couldn't help it. She tried to take her eyes off the bathroom door even after he had locked it but, the image was still there. She stood up and adjusted her nightgown and that smile still hasn't left her face. "Rose!!! Stop it!!" She cautioned herself. "Ha... How can I forget such a sight?!" She added with a giggle. After some seconds, she placed her face in her palms and giggled. "Why am I behaving like this?" She asked herself. "Ooooooh... Rose!!! Stop It. Wait, how can I stop thinking about that? I have to treasure the memory.!!" Rose said and laughed.

"I hope you aren't laughing at me!!" Christopher said from behind.

Rose jumped and faced him. She looked at him from head to toe and a look of disappointment flashed through her eyes. "When did you come out of the bathroom!?" She asked him.

"Well, I came out and found my wife laughing at me for taking a cold shower twice in one night.!" Christopher said as he climbed the bed.

"I wasn't laughing at you... I just remembered something funny... That's why I was laughing." Rose said.

"Hmmm, let's just assume that you are saying the truth," Christopher said with a pout.

"Anyways, let's just drop that topic. I wasn't laughing at you." Rose said and looked away from him. She couldn't tell him why she was laughing. How would it sound? She quickly laid down and covered herself.

"I seriously want to know what is in that head of yours. Why are you acting shy??" Christopher asked. He had managed to hear a little bit of what she was saying to herself when he got out of the bathroom. He smiled at her action and laid beside her. "Thank you!!" He said.

Rose was surprised by the sudden appreciation. What has she done again? Why did he suddenly start to say thank you to her? She got rid of her shyness and faced him. "What are you thanking me for? What did I do?" She asked.

"I just want to thank you. Must I have a reason?" Christopher asked her.

"Thank you also," Rose said.

"Hmmm," Christopher hummed. "Good night." He said and pulled her into his arms.

"Good night!" Rose answered and snuggled into his embrace.

Christopher took in a contended smile and got ready to sleep. Before sleeping, he set up plans on how to spend with Rose. Before sleeping he whispered. "I love you."

What he didn't hear was Rose's reply. "I love you too..." She whispered as quietly as possible.

The next morning, Rose said she wouldn't go to work and would work from home.

"Why? Are you not feeling well?" Christopher asked worriedly.

"Am fine. I just don't feel like going. I have other important things to do." Rose answered.

"What other important things do you have to do? Do you want me to help you out with what you want to do?" Christopher asked in an attempt to also stay at home with her.

"Sorry to burst your bubble... You can't help me. Go to work!" Rose said with a smile.

"You are so mean!... Why can't I stay at home? It will be fun!" Christopher said trying to make her change her mind and accept that he should stay at home.

"Yes, it will be fun but, you are not staying at home today. Maybe, next time but not today. With what I want to do, it's very important that you go to work!" Rose said and helped him knot his tie.

"Fine," Christopher accepted but he wasn't happy about it.

After they had finished breakfast, Rose insisted on sending the both of them out. She followed them to Princess's school and then, went with Christopher to his office. "Ok, see you later," she said as Christopher prepared to get out of the car.

"Okay, take care," Christopher said with a frown.

Rose laughed and said. "Don't make that face. Your employees will think you are possessed."

"Let them think what they want. I am not happy and I can't hide it." Christopher said.

"This should make you happy," Rose said. After saying that, she moved closer to him and kissed him. "Enjoy your day at work!" She said after moving away From him.

Christopher wanted to kiss her more. He wasn't satisfied with what he got. He wanted more so, he moved closer to her but Rose stopped him with a shake of her head. "This is not fair!!" Christopher complained. "Fine!!! Am going in... Text me when you get home." He said and opened the car and got out.

Rose watched him walk into the company before telling the driver to take her home. After she got home, the first thing she did was to call Ada. "Good morning sis, I didn't want to disturb you that's why I haven't called you since!!" Ada said immediately she picked up the call. She had wanted to call Rose a lot of times but she would later change her mind.

"Good morning to you and don't hesitate to call me next time. You are more than a worker now!" Rose answered with a smile. She had also wanted to call but felt like she would be disturbing the girl.

"Okay, you are the person who gave me the right now ooo! Don't change your mind when I start calling you all the time.!" Ada said happily. She had gotten permission to do the one thing that she has always wanted. Calling Rose whenever she wanted.

"Mmm, no problem. You can call me as much as you want! How are things over there!?" Rose asked with a smile.

"Things!? Things are fine. Everything is fine. Very fine.." Ada answered.

"You don't sound fine... What's going on!?" Rose asked worriedly. From Ada's tone, Rose detected that all was not well.

"Sis! Can you people ask Uzo to come back to Lagos!?" Ada asked out of the blue.
