I did
In the morning! Jhonia. Woke up and kept herself snuggled up on the couch, she has been lying there for quite some time. She decided to close her eyes and wait for Nearce to wake up! After some time. Nearce woke up and realized Jhonia is not beside him, he then remembers he left her out on the couch.
“Did she really sleep there?” Nearce inquiring with himself, he quickly got up and went out to see her huddled up on the spot she sat last night! He walked over to her and at that time he realized that she had removed the jacket. He walked over closer to her, as he was reaching out to touch her.
“Do not touch me!” Jhonia said, stating to Nearce. he was surprised because her eyes were closed. He stepped back from her and placed his hands in his pocket.
“Why did you sleep here? The bed is over there, where I slept am I your husband or not?” Nearce asked Jhonia? She releases her feet and places them down into her shoe. She giggles a little. It was not one you get from a person who is trying to make jokes with you, it sounded rather serious yet judgemental. Jhonia sat up properly.
“Am I your wife? Hmm? I had plans with your mother so call Orean for me, have him send me back to the house.” Jhonia asked him, then she said to him as she began getting up and walking towards the door.
“Hey! What about your clothes?” Nearce stops her and asks, because she left the jacket. Jhonia, looks at the jacket on the couch and then at him, she gives a corner smile for a brief second.
“You touch it, I have no interest in wearing it or touching it unless it has been washed. But you could keep it, for it might come in handy.” Jhonia tells him that he touched it, she then said he should keep it for it might come in handy, and Nearce felt like she was referring to the woman from the hallway. Jhonia turns around to leave.
“Wait. Jhonia, wait, okay? I am supposed to send you back! Please, allow me to do so. I also think we have some misunderstandings. I will clear them. Please.” Nearce said to her as he walked to her and was about to touch but he retrieved his hand and went to the room where he quickly got dressed. He returned and picked up her jacket, putting it on his arm.
“Why don’t you go out first?” Nearce asks her, she opens the door and goes out! Nearce came out behind her and together they walked to the elevator in silence.
“I live on the top floor, along with those who are in status or higher status than me. I’m not the richest man and I may be good looking but not every woman gets the chance to climb up into my bed. Jhonia I hope that you can forgive me if I wrong you or allow you to misunderstood me in any kind of way.” Nearce said, explaining that he’s not the richest and that not every woman can climb into his bed. Jhonia stood silent on her side of the elevator. When the elevator stopped!
“You’re right, … Not every woman.” Jhonia said to him, she took a moment and finished her sentence as she was stepping off the elevator. Nearce’s phone rings and he ignores it the first time. It rang again and he ended the call and then put his phone on silent. He walked up to Jhonia with her jacket on his arm.
“I know you refuse me, touching you but at least in public you should allow me to.” Nearce said, reminding her that this is for his image in other words. As he reaches out and puts his hand on her waist walking with her. Jhonia keeps silent because as he said, it was for publicity. They arrived out of the hotel and Nearce’s driver was waiting for them, he rushed towards the car door to open but Nearce nodded him not to.
“What happens?” Jhonia asked and Nearce ignored her and opened the door for her after she was seated! Nearce walked around to the other side and entered the car, his driver then quickly entered the car… After starting the car and driving away from the hotel, Nearce takes out his phone and sees a lot of missed calls. He opens the phone text into the text box and sends it after some time, the phone rings and he opens the screen.
“Can I have your phone? Also, the driver was stopped by me from opening the door because I stopped him, because I wanted to do it myself.” He asked? And explain to Jhonia the question which he had ignored. Jhonia places the phone on the car seat, leaving him to retrieve himself!
“Are you still upset with me? Jhoni I’m sorry.” Nearce asked as he was picking up the phone. Jhonia glances at him angrily as he apologizes. The look he was giving was for Nearce to know to never call her such ever again, and for his own sake, he seemed to understand.
“Okay, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again, here!” Nearce said, extending his hand with the phone. Jhonia looked at the phone and saw his number saved as “Husband.” She glanced up back at him and he gave her a small smile, she looked away from him.

“Stop It!” Jhonia yelled at him, cutting him off. She catches a glimpse of the driver silently laughing. She snatched the phone from him with a tiny smile, which Nearce noticed and smiled while looking at her as she was looking out the window. They arrived at the house and reporters were out the gate, they barely got through the gate safely.
“What is going on, why so many people and cameras?” Jhonia asked after they were on the compound and the guards were holding back the reporters.
“Reporters. Someone must have called them on purpose, it’s okay once we get inside you won’t have to worry.” Nearce said, and added to her as he was getting out of the car.
“I am not getting out of this car with those people taking pictures. Did your mom talk with you? Or are you okay with what the public will have to say? If you are well let me tell you, I’m not!” Jhonia explains to him she was not getting off and asks him, Nearce stared at her for a moment, he looked out at all the open space and the camera, are there lingering to catch a photo of his partner.
“I wonder who let them in on your information? Ah… Okay, they might not get a good photo… Open the door and step out without turning her head to them to get a photo, please! They won’t leave until they get something.” Nearce questioned and sigh loudly. He then explains to Jhonia why she has to step down from the car. Jhonia sighed loudly and opened the car door doing as Nearce said, the moment she stepped out the cameras went crazy with flashing. Jhonia uses her hair to cover most of her face, regardless a camera still caught her from the side. That photo was uploaded to the internet and everyone was blogging about it. Even from the side, Jhonia seems to be looking quite gorgeous.
“How is this possible?” Jhonia asks? As they entered the house and closed the door behind them.
“Give me a minute.” Nearce said, walking away and off into the kitchen. Jhonia stood for a moment, she saw Mrs. Pinnock hurriedly went from the living room to the kitchen. Jhonia decided to go and take a bath.
“Why are you so furious?” Mrs. Pinnock asked? Watching Nearce pace the kitchen, back and forth.
“Someone leaked Jhonia information to the media, I don’t understand why but who?” Nearce said, explaining and asking, but still pacing he stopped and looked at his mother who was completely silent and all of sudden.
“I did… I told them about her, and why are you so upset isn’t she your wife? Are you cheating on her already, Nearce?” Mrs. Pinnock said, she took a moment and asked. In tears, the fear of Jhonia going to, go through what she went through.
“No, of course not! She didn’t want this. I was upset because of this, I didn’t know.” Nearce responded and said, assuring his mother he wasn’t doing such. Although he was, he acted as if he had’ woken up from that kind of lifestyle. He hugged his mother, caressing her back. Meanwhile! Jhonia having her bath patiently and no longer worrying about the media.
