Chapter 4. Uncommon hormone

John slept peaceful throughout the night. Because of being tired he could not hear anything that was happening outside. Fortunately this neighborhood was very secure and peaceful.

While John was sleeping Sharon on the other hand was still up, unable to sleep. She was fidgeting and rolling around the queen sized bed she was laying. If someone was sharing this bed with her she would have long since kicked her away already. She had closed her eyes for almost an hour now but her mind was not settled at all.

What had happened this morning in John's room was replaying in her mind. A smile will subconsciously emerge on her lips everytime she thought about that hug.

"I think I'm going crazy. John is just our tenant, he doesn't even like me. Besides, he doesn't have job." She paused for a moment thinking. "Why is a job important."

Her mind was going wild at this moment. She was fighting to go to John's room to ask him if he likes her. But...

"I always treated him as a brother it would be weird", she contemplated . "We are not related anyways". She smiled licking her lips with a hind of blushing. "What am I thinking. This is crazy".

She rolled on her bed , took one of the pillows and covered her face.

" We are of the same age. I remember him saying he was 24 years old". John was surely 24 years old and she was 22 years, so the age difference was okay for her. John was handsome with a body of an athlete, one would wonder if he spend most of his time in the gym working out. However, all this was thanks to hand work in his part-time jobs. Some of the piece work he did was loading or carrying heavy materials like refrigerators or sometimes he will be helping in construction lifting building materials like cement. Never in his life has he set foot in gyms to workout, maybe to deliver something or help out.

But all that didn't hinder his hygiene, he was always smart, which is why even Sharon , daughter of a profound businessman was developing feelings for him.

She couldn't fathom how much she wanted to be hugged by him even at this moment. In her heart she wants John around, maybe it's because of these past two years they had been together. She got to know him very well. He was a gentleman and was very much considerate. Also, she never saw him with other girls, therefore, he wasn't a player or womanizer.

They always helped each other, though John helped her with almost everything more than she did. Maybe she felt that she owed him her heart. She always wished for him to get a job. She would indirectly ask managers at his father's company to hire John but everyone would be vetted by her Dad in the end so he was never called. Maybe these managers had something to do with that or her father or John never qualified. She doubted he wasn't capable. She knew his life wasn't that easy and wanted to help him as much as possible.

These feelings complicated things for her because she currently is dating someone. Another rich kid who is at Natal University in Zulu Kingdom. For this moment he is not around because they are in the middle of their semester. His name is Simba Chinaka, the son of the founder of Chinaka Financial Group, a well known and successful business empire.

If this kid wants John Moyo to disappear, he will without a trace and no one will even know what happened to John. But these days Sharon has never thought about Simba even though they chat and video chat, this feeling she is feeling for John was different. It was more overwhelming to the extent that she wanted to break up with Simba.

"Let me forget about this, I will put John in trouble if I do that." She said after some thought. "I wonder what my mom and dad will say if it truly happened or do I have to hide this from them".

Her parents were not that strict on her friends as long as they are kids of the same age and they don't put her in trouble. As for John, she never went anywhere with him so there was no problem seeing her hangout with him. They always puts her wellbeing above all and her education also. Maybe they never thought about John dating their daughter.

Nevertheless, Sharon had to figure out what she is going to do about these feelings she had. Meanwhile she was murmuring some lovely words to the imaginary John in her mind, with her body feeling hot and her hand between her legs feeling a little bit wet down there, she dosed off and slept.

Morning came fast for John Moyo, he woke up early freshen up as always to start a new day. Everything was in place for him to go and look for a piece work. He has to look for a job at the same time look for piece-work because if he doesn't get money from piece work he won't be able to survive the city life. He might get some leftovers but it is not for everyday to get those favors. If he got called on the other side of the town it will be difficult to walk or run there. Therefore, he has to keep a little cash to hire a taxi or border a bus to and fro, hence the need for piece work.

Besides, these piece work also helped him to make half payment of rent so that he won't be thrown out of the house. This was his way of surviving town life.

As he was coming from his room, ready to go look for a piece work, he came across Sharon. She was wearing a short dress that looked very beautiful on her. What was most mesmerizing was that she had already put makeup on herself, something she always does when she was going out. John frowned after she spotted her because it was as if she was waiting for him to come out of his room. 'Maybe I'm imagining things'.

"Hi. Morning John", she greeted him with a blush avoiding his eyes a little. Her voice was sweet and calming together with the sexy smile plastered on her face, John couldn't help himself but sigh with satisfaction. He subconsciously, responded to her. His mind went blank, he wanted to ask where she was going but everything was irrelevant now, only the angel before him who took his breath was important. His thoughts went away for a moment only to be brought back by Sharon calling his name.

He was embarrassed by what he did. "I'm sorry, I don't know what got into me". He paused for a moment, "what did you say? Do you want anything or my help?" He was mumbling on and on until Sharon put her hand on his chest.

"It's okay. It's okay. I only asked you where you are going today. I was hoping if I could take you there today, I'm going out with my car so I can take you." She said with a calm tone looking directly into his eyes. He calmed down but his heart was starting to race because of the way Sharon was looking at him.

"I'm going to look for piece work today, so I'm not going that far from here". He answered honestly.

"Hop in, let's go ". She said pulling him towards the garage.

He was confused but he followed anyway.
