"Uncle is the one, " Jack said to his uncle.
"Nice to meet you " her boss offered his hand. She took in still in disbelief
"I know it's not the first time we are meeting since you work for me but it's the first time being introduced as the daughter-in-law of our family " he smiled.
"Do you like her, 'cause mom and Dad already gave us their blessing?" he said.
His uncle laughed, "If my sister agrees then count me in and since she started working here nothing bad has been said about her. Apart from the fake rumours "
"I hope now they will be cleared," Jack said.
"Already done so," he said ."You both can leave anytime, I will be heading back to my office, now "
Jack gave him a nod and watched him leave.
"So, let's go," he said.
"But I still have work to do "
"I think you heard what he said, we can leave "
She smiled, "I know but if I don't finish this up, I will have a lot of work tomorrow "
He sighed, "Okay, I will wait "
She thought he would leave and wait somewhere else but he pulled a chair and sat next to her.
"Do you have to wait from here ?" she finally asked.
"I find it comfortable having you in my sight as I wait," he said, "Why do you feel uncomfortable ?"
"No, it's not that ...but everyone keeps staring at us " she whispered.
"Then hurry up so we can leave," he said.
She turned away and returned to her work, she didn't notice him take glare coldly at all the glancing workers in the room.
They all rushed back to work.
Finally leaving, she sighed, "That was embarrassing, why did you have to bring your uncle along "
"He wanted to see you and I don't work here so he had to show me where you were " he explained.
"Let's go home," she said heading to his car.
He smiled nodding.
Home, she had finally thought of him as someone more than a stranger.
They arrived a few minutes later, he offered to make dinner so she headed to her room for a shower.
"Tati" he called.
"Yes," she answered from the bathroom.
"Can I join you in there?" he said.
She paused, "Are you done making dinner ?"
"No, I decided to order"
"Ahh why, don't we have food around ".
"We do but I didn't want to miss taking a shower with you," he said.
She didn't answer, "Tati, am coming in then "
She heard the door open and turned to see him walk in, taking off his clothes Jack moved to the glass door of the shower and pushed it open.
She turned the moment his head popped in.
He chuckled closing the door behind him.
"You lost weight," he said.
"And whose fault is it, It was the stress from all those comments at work"
She felt him get closer and lean in on her, his lips breathing next to her ear, "And am sorry "
His hands slid to her wet naked waist turning her to him, she breathed looking up at him.
"I am sorry for making you cry, I felt bad when I saw you crying that night " his fingers were stroking her back now, tracing her backbone smoothly as the water flowed down on both their bodies.
She bit her lip feeling him bend down to her neck, kissing it.
"I must have looked weird crying like that," she said.
"I found it cute and ended up kissing you " he laughed.
She giggled, "You took advantage of a drunk person "
Jack turned back his blue eyes down at her, "Actually it was you who took advantage of me ".
"What, now your lying "
"You did and I had to hold back 'cause we were outside with your friend looking at us," he said.
"Your lying " she laughed.
"Let me show you how you then " he grabbed her buttocks crushing her against him, his lips met hers fully kissing her.
