Chapter 24 He is busy

Drake drives me to Jerry. He left right away since he said he has to buy something at the convenience

store for a movie marathon with Andrei. They run out of supplies at the fridge.

Jerry is busy at the phone when I get there. The dining table is still set when I get there so I took a bite.

I know all the people in that house even the maid. His mother loves me so much she even wants me

and Jerry to end up together. If only Jerry has an eye for a woman. Jerry has an unusual sex life. The

one I can't get involved with. But for friendship and professional relationship he is the best.

Mommy, your cooking is the best. I love your pinakbet can I get more of this, please. I asked Jerry's

Mom sweetly.

Ow, I'm sorry I didn't offer you. Jerry said you're done with dinner.

That's right but when I saw you're pinakbet mommy, I'm hungry again.

Ok, I will prepare a plate for you. Thank you, mommy.

I was eating when Jerry came to kiss me on the cheeks.

My dear, I'm sorry I have to leave you, I found someone who wants to finance our next project with

Rose.

I thought we are gonna do it ourselves? We can afford to finance it with our own savings. I told him with

food on my mouth.

I know he is only one and he will chip in a small amount. Like 20 per cent, the majority will be ours. Still,

I wanna meet him tonight. He answered with finality.

Please don't abandon me. I lingered my hand on his neck while talking like his lover.

He smiled at me. He is so excited to leave but I'm holding him.

Please Tara darling. We can do this tomorrow. Stay for the night I might come to your room when I get

home.

This is not business, where he is going. I want to kiss him just to tease Jerry but he pushes my face

away.

Don't kiss me with your mouth full of Pinakbet. Please I promise you I owe you one. I will treat you

generously some other time.

If you leave don't ever come back. We are over. I still try jokingly.

This is my house darling, of course, I'm coming back.

Kiss me then you can go. I told him while pointing my lips on him with my eyes closed.

He laughed at me so hard. He kisses me at my cheeks and left.

I love you, Tara. Enjoy your stay. He said before he went out of the door.

The pinakbet is so good. I ate a lot. Now I'm done eating I don't think I still have something to do in this

house. Without Jerry, I'd rather stay at home and write. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

I told Mommy that I'm leaving I will just grab a taxi outside. I thank her for a good meal. She is so happy

I like her cooking. She always loves feeding me just like my real Mom.

I left, the taxi came fast in just 30 minutes I'm back home. The house is silent so I can hear any little

sound inside.

As I walk to my room I heard a girl giggling in pleasure. So Lisa is here.
