MY SILLY PERSONAL ASSISTANT

Chapter 10

“Leandro, what's up, Bro,” Jake answered the phone call.

“Bro, what happened? I can hear your heavy breathing here. Did you just jog?”Leandro asked instead of answering him. He is still chasing his breath because he just quickly grabbed his phone after he left Vince's lips.

“Aah, yeah...yeah...” he lied. His eyes still locked on Vince who is fidgeting his fingers, he bit his lower lip as his urge to devour the innocent guy in front of him hasn't calmed down yet.

“We are coming to your place this afternoon. You're free, right?”

“Okay!”

“Are you okay?”

“I am!”

“Okay, see you then. Bye!”

“See you. Bye!”

After he hangs up the phone, Jake stays on his spot. He doesn't know how to approach Vince who is still fidgeting his fingers. He brushed his hair with his fingers.

“Why I'm so stupid? He is so innocent for me to do that to him. But.......aaaaahhhh....” he is annoyed with his thoughts.

“Ah, Jake, there's a parcel sent by someone,” Vince said after a few minutes of silence that engulfed them.

“Vince?” Jake bit his lips. “About what happened just now.....”

“Ahm, Jake I'm going to my room. If anything you need just knock on my door.” Vince quickly got up and was about to go to his room when Jake grabbed his wrist pulling him. As Jake pulled him a bit stronger he landed on his chest.

“Vince, please say something. If you are mad, just say it please.”

Vince buried his face against Jake's chest. He felt his face become red like fire. He was flustered and didn't know how to respond. He is confused about how he should feel.

“I...I do...I don't know what to say.” Vince tried to distance himself from Jake, still not able to look at the other guy because of embarrassment.

Jake heaved a deep sigh. He then let go of him. “Okay, I'll give you time to think about it. If you're angry I think I deserve it.”

“Okay.” Vince nodded and fidgeted his fingers again.

“My friends are coming here later. Don't worry about cleaning and cooking. You can join us too if you like.” Jake said, looking at him intently.

“Okay!” He responded and quickly went to his room. Jake left slamming his bum on the couch. He leaned against it, closed his eyes while hands covered his face. “Do I like him?” He grabbed his hair and pulled it as he doesn't understand himself. He is confused about his feelings towards Vince. Subconsciously, he bit his lips when he remember how the latter respond to his presumptuous act against him. He responds to his kisses though he knows Vince doesn't know how to even kiss. “Does he like me too? The way he responds to my kisses....aaaahhhh...” he screamed in his thoughts thinking that he is falling for Vince.

In Vince's room, he is walking back and forth, smiling like an i***t. He is thinking about what had happened.

“Papa and Mama said I cannot let anyone kiss me because it's dangerous. It may hurt me but Jake didn't hurt me.” He put his hand on his chest. “Why does it beat so fast just now that it seemed to suffocate me? And hey, did I kiss him back? Hihihi!” He bit his fingers, shuddering with the thought that he kissed Jake back.

Vince threw himself on his bed, staring at the ceiling. “But why did he kiss me? My parents said only husband and wife can kiss. Why?” Lots of thoughts ran in his mind because of the kiss that Jake did, or they did. Subconsciously, he touched his lips and smiled but then he buried his face on his pillow as he felt embarrassed thinking that he let his boss kiss him. “Eeeeiihhh!” He giggles and screams that can be heard in the four corners of the room upon imagining how Jake kissed him. He then drifted to sleep with a smile painted on his face.

Afternoon when he woke up by the knocking on his door.

“Huh! Did I fall asleep? How long?” He stretched his arm and walked slowly towards the door. He opened it.

“Vince?” Jake called him as the innocent guy in front of him fluttered his eyes. “You didn't come out for lunch, it's quite late.”

“Huh?! Sorry! So sorry, Jake, I fell asleep. I wasn't able to cook lunch for you.” He panicked and wanted to go out quickly but Jake blocked him by putting his arms across the door.

“Don't worry, I ordered some food for us. Come let's eat together.”

“Ha? What time is it? You don't have to wait for me.” He pouted as he felt guilty for falling asleep.

“It's fine. One o'clock is not that late for lunch.” He smiled then averted his gaze quickly before he lost his control again looking at Vinces' pouting lips. “Why does he always need to pout? He is so cute and it's tempting.”

“Okay! Let's go!” But before he started walking his stomach growled as he felt hunger. His eyes widened and covered his mouth but when he averted his gaze to Jake he found him suppressing his laughter, so he let out his laughter and they walked to the dining area both laughing.

“I bought spicy food for you because I noticed you like spicy foods,” Jake said while opening the boxes of foods he ordered.

“Thank you, Jake!” Vince said happily.

“You're always welcome.”

“What time are your friends coming?” Vince asked when they started eating.

“Maybe in three hours. Late afternoon.”

Vince nodded and continued eating. Silence engulfed them while eating.

“Here try th........” they suddenly speak at the same time offering each other food to try. They looked at each other and smiled at the coincidence.

“You try mine first,” Jake said, lifting the chopsticks with the noodles.

“You try mine first, it's yummy.” Vince insisted. “Aahhh..” he opened his mouth to say to Jake to open his mouth so he could shove the food into his mouth.

“Okay.” Jake agreed to smile and eat the food that Vince offered for him.

“Okay, my turn,” Vince said, opening his mouth again ready to eat Jake's food. Jake then takes some noodles using his chopsticks and shoves them in Vince's mouth. But some slipped from the chopsticks, Jake quickly used his chopsticks and shoved them in his mouth. They then eat both ends of the same noodles. Their eyes met as they slowly ate the noodles, their faces slowly getting close to each other. Their breathing became faster than normal but no one wanted to break the noodles that are an inch left between their mouths. Jake, who can't keep his restraint, crossed the gap, eating the noodles and claiming Vince's mouth at the same time. He doesn't care about the spicy taste from Vince's mouth as the longer he kisses him the more he is in a daze kissing him. Vinces' eyes widened in surprise and dropping his chopsticks subconsciously made Jake halt from kissing him. He quickly parted their lips and slammed himself against the chair. Vince stayed on his chair, mouth still slightly open and eyes fluttering trying to absorb what just had happened.

“Vince?” Jake called him. He shakes his head lightly.

“Huh?!”

“I'll get you another chopstick.” Jake quickly stands up and gets another pair of chopsticks for Vince.

They then continue eating in silence. Jake ate his food quickly as he felt something in him react and he wanted to release it. He then left Vince finishing his food and went to his room.

“Jake calm down.” He closed his eyes as he turned on the tap of the shower and let the warm water drop on him as he helped himself release. “Aaahhh, why is he so irresistible? His innocence drives me crazy.” He then threw himself back on his bed after he dried himself after that quick shower.

Vince left at the dining table finishing his food. “He kissed me again.” He smiled as he felt like he enjoyed what Jake did to him. “I like it. Hihihi!” He said añd shove the last bite of noodles in his mouth.

As Jake said, his friends came late in the afternoon. Leandro, Neil, and Jeorge. Jake opened the gate for them, pressing the remote control.

“Wow! It's nice to be back here. It's been a long time we haven't visited you here.” Jeorge walks directly inside followed by Jake and Neil while Leandro takes something inside his car.

“Where is your pretty assistant?” Neil whispered to him.

He glared at his friend. “I thought you came here for me?” He doesn't understand why he seemed jealous of the thought that his friend is interested in meeting Vince.

“Jake, where is your assistant? Can we meet him?” Jeorge, who was just seated on the couch, asked.

“He is in his room.” He responded seriously.

“Bro, we just wanted to meet him. We are not going to eat him. Relax.” Neil tapped his shoulder, grinning when he noticed that Jake looked jealous.

“Shut up!” He then walked towards Vinces' room.

“Is there anything you need, Jake?”

“My friends arrived and they wanted to meet you.”

“Aahh, can I change first?”

“Don't need it. You don't have to. You're already pretty...I mean handsome.” Jake answered. Still, he doesn't understand his feelings. He doesn't want Vince to see his friends.

“Oh okay.”

“Let's go!”

Jake then grabbed his hand and they walked together to the living room.

Leandro is already there.

“Hi, Vince, good afternoon.” Leandro greeted Vince but his eyes were on their intertwining fingers. He mischievously smiles towards Jake. Jeorge and Neil are looking at them, smiling like idiots.

“Hello, Leandro, nice to meet you again,” Vince responds, smiling trying to remove his hand from Jake.

Arf! Arf!

Vince jumped on Jake hugging him while his legs clung to his waist.

“Dogggg...Jake, there's a dog.” He is screaming, tightening his hug on Jake, his lips quivering in fear burying his face on Jakes' neck.

Leandro then quickly takes his dog away from them. Jeorge and Neil then got up. They are suppressing their laughter as they see Jake struggling with Vince on him.

“I'm so sorry, Bro. I don't know that Vince is scared of dogs.”

Jake then held Vince's arms trying to remove them from his neck but Vince hugged it tighter.

“Jake, I'm scared.” He can feel him shaking in fear.

“Okay, I'll take you to your room.” He then nodded to his friends telling them to take Vince to his bedroom. He carried him back to his room.

When they're in Vince's bedroom he puts him down on his bed.

“Okay, you stay here. I will close the door so the dog won't come here.” Vince is still holding his arm.

“Sorry!” Vince lookèd at him with his puppy eyes.

“Don't worry about it. Leandro always takes his pet dog when coming here. You are new to the dog, that's why he barks at you but he won't bite you.”

Vince closed his eyes. Suddenly he felt tired with so many fears. Jake felt he was still a bit shaking. He leaned forward and kissed him on his forehead.

“You can sleep if you want to sleep. I will call you later for dinner.”

“Hmmm....” Vince responded lazily as he slowly drifted to sleep.

Jake pulled the duvet to cover him up to his chest.

“Why did I feel this way towards you, Vince?”

He then decided to go out and join his friends who are now all eyes on him with mischievous smiles plastered on their faces.
