Chapter 8: Tyler's Room
It was cloudy and humid that evening. Jennifer was awakened by Auntie Mirabel's kind voice saying, "Jennifer, honey? We're going to eat, come down". After she had locked herself in her room, she fell asleep. "What time is it exactly, I think I slept for quite sometime. Shit I'm going to have trouble sleeping later on". She whispered to herself.
Auntie Mirabel knocked on the door again, this time a bit louder. "Jenn are you awake?"
"Yes, aunt Mirabel, I'll be right outside," she said, raising her voice slightly so aunt Mirabel could hear her. Since then, it's became an unspoken rule that they eat breakfast and dinner together. Jennifer goes home at lunch time on occasion so that so she could eat with auntie Mirabel and Uncle Donald. Auntie Mirabel often pays her a visit at the University every now and then and gives her an already prepared meal.
lyia was included in the meal she provided, so when Aunt Mirabel came to visit her, Lyia was always excited.
She walks into the kitchen to find uncle Donald at the head of the kitchen table reading a news paper.
"Good evening uncle," She said with a smile and then walking up to give him a kiss on the cheek. "Where's aunt Mirabel?" She inquired as he returned a smile.
Uncle Donald put down the newspaper he was reading and focused on her. He grinned and said, "she's in the store she went to get condiments to complete the dinner recipe, she has been cooking for quite some time." " You know, your auntie is extremely dedicated to being hands on here at home", he remarked.
"I always advice her not to get too fatigued, we hired a maid when you went off to college, and they are there to cook everything," Uncle Donald explained.
" Mrs. Jocelyn Flores, the maid we hired is British and she's very exquisite. She'd always chastise your auntie for doing all her work. Sometimes she feels we might not have any need of her and just fire her". They both laughed at this parody. "Mrs Jocelyn niece Harriet Osborne joined her just two days ago too". Uncle Donald remarked.
" Tell your Aunt Mirabel, maybe if you reprimand her enough she'll listen to you", Uncle Donald remarked.
They had no idea Auntie Mirabel had walked into the kitchen to continue cooking. Jennifer and uncle Donald walked towards her as she stood over the burner mixing stuff in the pot. "You're doomed, Uncle. Auntie looks annoyed at you, and she rolled her eyes at you earlier", she whispered to him.
" You'll surely sleep on the couch later". She said.
" Do you think so?" He asked. Face pale, he appeared to be scared of auntie Mirabel's displeasure with him.
"What did you do uncle, or perhaps didn't do that made her mad at you?"
" I don't know. I worked hard all day, I can't think anything I did that would upset her". He said.
They noticed aunt Mirabel preparing something, it smelt fantastic.
"Wow, auntie". Jennifer exclaimed, "is that curly soup 🍲"?. One of Jennifer's favourite dishes. While tasting what she was making, Auntie Mirabel said, "Yup, it's about to be done. Let your uncle fix the dinner table." She nodded as if what she tasted from the pot already satisfied her appetite.
"Wait, has Tyler already come down?" She inquired. " You'd better wake him up, maybe he's sleeping". Aunt Mirabel said.
She went on to say, " your uncle will arrange the plates and everything other necessary thing on the dinner table".
Jenn nodded to her aunt's order. She was willing to carry out the task, all though Tyler's presence made her a little uneasy. She couldn't deny that she felt uncomfortable around him, he always had he's brow furrowed as if he saw something he didn't like, he always had this icy and menacing impression that made her tremble in her panties.
Her stomach grumbled, she remembered she was really hungry for that delicious meal auntie Mirabel cooked, she figured Tyler would be really hungry as well.
She knocked again, this time a bit louder. No response.
She twisted the knob of the door to discover the door was unlocked. The room's dim interior opened up to her, with only two lamp heads switched on. Even as the primary lights were turned off, the beam from both lamp heads allowed her to observe her surroundings.
This was her very first visit to Tyler's room.
The room was quite minimalistic and cozy, it has a cave like texture and a color composition like earth tonalities; grey, black and browns. The base of the bed was made by the best German chocolate hue nurishes stained sheets for glamour. He's pillows were covered in silk clothing that matched the color of the bed sheet. From her distance she could tell those pillows were nice and soft, it reminded her of the pleasure she gave herself slipping the edge of her pillows inside her panties. His room immediately became her favorite place. It wasn't sloppy, which was exactly what she expected from him.
He wasn't in his bed when she entered the room, which led her to believe he wasn't sleeping.
She picked out the rumble sounds of the shower in the bathroom, her questions were answered. He was in the shower. He couldn't answer her knocks because he was in the shower and couldn't hear her. It was a matter of seconds when the shower died down.
She realized that he was done with showering. She stood there prepared to greet him.
Tyler emerged from the bathroom with a fresh bath and only a while towel covering his nakedness. The tiny towel was dangling loosely and idly about his waist. Her eyes widened.
She hastily turned away. Prayed outside most of the time forcing herself to forget what she has previously seen. Tyler on the other hand was kind rocked a bit, but he seemed to be unconcerned about what transpired.
"Jennifer, what the hell was that? Huh! I should've just waited outside" she whispered to herself.
She turned her neck only to find Tyler inches away from her. She could feel the heat of his breath radiating down her neck. "What do you think your doing here?" Tyler asked. She had no idea Tyler had come up to her immediately she left the room. His voice was gruff and masculine. His hot, minty breath tickled her neck. He towered over her. She knew this because she was conscious of the gap between them. The gap wasn't much. He stood six feet tall, Jenn was only 5'6 so she definitely felt intimidated by his aurora.
"I believe I was talking to you Jenn", he said.
He referred to her as Jenn, usually it was sleepy head or douche or dumbass. But this time it was " Jenn ", she liked it. She thought the sound of her name flowing through his tongue was quite sext to her ears. She bit her lips, not really appreciating where her mind was tilting towards.
"I, uh. . . Umm ... Uh, auntie told me to call you since dinner is ready, " she managed to say.
" Oh.... Yeah?" He asked cynically.
With a smirk he continued "so you didn't plan to come into my room while I was taking a shower?. Are you really desperate to see me naked?. Well bad news for you douche, you may simply dream about it since it will never happen". Jenn's brow twitched in response to what he said. "Excuse me ? Don't you think it's a little breezy of you to say that?".
"And what did you say? That I want to see you naked? Ewww, fuck no. That's just gross, I never think about your body, much less your nakedness. Am not a pervert" she said.
"oh really... Said the girl who just barged into my room while I was HALF NAKED". Tyler replied still had that smirk.
" Oh come on you don't have to make a big deal about it, I was just sent to fetch you That's all". Jenn replied.
"Here come on" Tyler said point to his towel loosely hanging around his waist. "Take it off, now's your chance. Once in a lifetime opportunity".
" Ohh my God!" Jenn yelled and dashed out without a warning.
For the most part she was pissed off at Tyler for his unorthodox fling, but she was also flattered. Never before had something like this ever happened. She didn't want to accept it, but she really wanted to take off the towel.
When she exited Tyler's room , she exhaled a huge sigh of relief. Whie she was in his room, she was able to keep her composure and maintain her sanity. As if she were suddenly dizzy, she started to walk carefully.
