Hire a Maid by Zainab Ajike (top 100 novels of all time txt) 📕

He called again. Then I decided to switch off my phone which I did.

At around 6:30, I was dressed up. I also dressed up my baby. He woke up not long again.

I was retouching my make up when I heard a knock on the door.

I went to open it, I already knew who the person was with the strong scent of his aftershave.

"What's wrong, angel?" He asked immediately as he entered.

"Nothing, I sat back on my chair and continued what I was doing.

"You didn't pick my calls, and later you switched off your phone. What's wrong, dear?" He asked as he carried his baby.

"Nothing." I said curtly.

"Okay, did I do anything wrong? If I did anything wrong. Then please forgive me." He pleaded.

"Do you want to know what you did wrong?" I asked him.

"Yes, of course ma." He joked.

"I am not joking" I said with seriousness.

"I am sorry. Tell me what I did wrong." He sat down on the bed with Jamal in his hand.

"You told me you were going to wake me up, and that I shouldn't set an alarm. Did you know I was thirty minutes late for the lecture and the lecturer didn't let me in. And I was hoping to meet you in my hostel but you weren't there. You couldn't even call or text, you just left me stranded." I poured all my anger out and that reduced the weight of what was on my chest.

"I am so sorry. I thought you would be in class. I left your hostel due to the emergency I had in the office. I had to go there immediately. I didn't want to disturb you and that was the reason why I didn't call or text you since I know your lecturer is strict. And about not waking you up. I guess I had a long night to sleep. It was amazing." He smirked at me which made me blush.

"Apology not accepted." I smirked back at him.

"What do you want me to do then for you to forgive me." He said with hope.

"I want a long night like that of yesterday." I said.

"Oh, that's not a problem." He put the baby down and came to give me a back jug.

"Do you know how much I love you?" He asked me as he kissed my neck.

I shook my head negatively.

"I will so you how much I do tonight." He said as he pecked my lips which resulted in him having lip gloss on his lips. I chuckled mocking him.

"Don't ruin my makeup." I warned him.

"I won't." He assured me as he rested his head on my shoulder. 

"I love you Dave." I confessed.

"I love you too, Angel. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me." He replied.

"Let's go down before we get late for dinner." I said.

Dave was hesitant at first but he let go of me and we all went down stairs.
