*_Chapter 7_*
*Oscar's POV*👱🏼
"Mabel. What are you doing?" I asked, confused.
She ignored my question and approached me.
"I'm just coming to take my bath too", she said walking past me and I couldn't stop myself from gawking.
God, just grant me strength and self control. I can't do this on my own.
Mabel knows my past and she knows I can't handle things like this. I don't know why she's doing this.
I shook my head and left the room to the dinning room.
She had actually prepared something for me to eat.
I took my seat, said the Grace and dished out the food onto a my plate.
I was really hungry, so I wasn't going to wait for her to get back and dish it.
The food tasted really good. Mabel was a good cook but she doesn't really cook for me that often.
I finished my first round and dished out another plate.
As I was eating, Mabel walked in with just a towel on. And it was really short and disturbing.
"Are you enjoying the food?" She asked, walking to where I was sitting.
"I'm not talking to you till you put something on" I said to her and I continued eating my food.
"But I'm comfortable in this", she said, whining.
"Mabel. Please", I said, focusing my eyes on just her face.
"So you don't want to talk to me because of this, but you can have a long conversation with Monica even when she's just in her under garments", she said, folding her arms. "Or you don't find me attractive"?
"Mabel really?? Where's this coming from?"
"Am I telling lies? You see Monica to be more attractive than I am. Is it because she walks around looking like sex and I'm always wearing those boring clothes?"
Now, I'm confused. I didn't know where this attack was coming from. It's true that I've seen Monica in her under garments, but that was when I was when I was in the brother zone, lusting after her. I wasn't in my right senses then. And that was like 3 years ago, so I honestly didn't know why she was bringing this up.
"So you're not going to say anything", she said tearing up and I got up to comfort her.
I hugged her and calmed her down.
"Mabel, I don't know where this is coming from, but whatever it is, don't let it disturb you. I love you so much and I find you attractive. We're Christians and Jesus speaks against what you're getting me to do. That's the only reason why I've not made love to you. I don't know what Monica said to you, but whenever she says anything, ignore her. She's just trying to mess with your head".
"I love you too and I don't want to lose you", she said, hugging me really tight and it was beginning to disturb me, so I let go of her.
"Go and wear your night wear and then come, join me. After eating, we can watch a movie or something", I said to her and she left.
After some few minutes, she came back in her night dress and morning coat.
When we were done eating, we watched a comedy movie together. I knew she wasn't a fan of comedy movies, but I did that so she could sleep.
I felt she realising that her sister liked me was a burden on her, so I wanted her to just sleep and rest her mind.
When she fell asleep, I lifted her and took her to my room and then I slept in the guest room. I wasn't ready for temptation this night. Besides we were asked to flee from lust and that's exactly what I'm doing now.
*Natasha's POV*
I accompanied June to help him organise a program at church.
The program was for kids and it was really stressing him out because he found it difficult relating with kids. So I had to help him with out.
I really loved kids a lot and I know how to relate well with them.
By the grace of God, the program was a success.
I was sitting at the lobby, waiting for June. He was talking to the parents of some of the kids.
I was just hoping that he'll wrap things up quickly and come, so that we can go.
We had an appointment with the lab technician this evening. Don't let your mind go far, it's not pregnancy, we were just going for a thorough check up before moving ahead to carry out the wedding plans.
I wanted to be sure that we were good to go before picking a wedding date.
The time for the appointment was at 8pm and it was already 7:45pm. I knew Mr Greg won't be cool if I was late. I've worked with him on several occasions and I know that he hates it when people are late.
So, I got up and went to June.
"Excuse me", I said to the people that he was talking to.
"It's almost 8, we have to get going", I said to him.
"Oh, I'm not done here. Can you take the lead and I'll catch up with you later".
"June, we have to go together , can't you just wrap up and come with me?"
"Tasha, I don't want to waste your time. I'll be there as soon as I'm done. Okay? " he said, cupping my cheek.
"Okay", I said to him in a sad tone and I left.
*********
It's been over an hour since I was done with my test and June wasn't here. I couldn't call him too because my phone was off.
I waited for an extra 30 minutes and I gave up and left.
June had done it again.
Before I left, I went to my office and checked if I had an appointment with any patient early in the morning and I saw this guy's name again.
The guy had an appointment with me some few days ago and he didn't come. I was so mad because it was at 7am in the morning and I really wanted to sleep but because of this appointment, I woke up early and took a cab. He booked another one again and didn't show up.
Now he's on the list again at 7am.
I just hope he shows up.
