Chapter 8:

Hold on a sec, did he just smirked?
Mr Asher Jones just smirked at me? I know it’s kinda crazy but it’s also baffling too.
I’ve known him for at least two days now and he has never even played a curve on his l-ips to talk of smirking?
And I still can’t believe it either that he never complained or did otherwise when I called him a robot or teaching him on how to sit properly without looking like he was in his office but rather in his home.
But somehow I supect his smirking. Nothing seems to be funny about the movie and I’m pretty sure I never did anything funny either.
So, what might have made him behave so strange for the first time?
I’m not complaining, don’t get me wrong.
I indirectly stared at myself, maybe somehow I looked odd with my make up or, … my dress was in the wrong position.
Just then the thought of my concert sneaked into my mind. Yes, now was the right time to talk about it. Now his head was calmed and the angry demon in him wasn’t raking like a mad dog, it’s my time to shoot the shot.
I have but a few days to go, and we haven’t held any preparations yet.
” So, about the concert, ” I started. ” I was thinking we need to do something real quick about it. We have only few days left. ” I reminded him.
” I was thinking about that too. I suggest you get ready with the rehearsal, the crews and instruments. You need to give me an accurate estimated number of tickets and chairs and the rest of them. You know I shouldn’t be listing them out to you. ”
” Excuse me, I never asked you to help me out with that. So, I’ll pass. ”
He didn’t say anything but his gaze did the talking which only interpreted the fact that I was unbelievable. He rolled his eyes, shooking his head. I smiled but honestly, I was expecting more like ” I don’t have to list them for you and don’t expect me to lecture you on what to do cos I don’t waste my time on shit!! ”
But guess what? he didn’t.
” You know, the concert has to be the best. I sense this year Xmas season is gonna be a blast! So, I won’t afford to lose this great opportunity for anything… or anyone. ” Referring the last two statement to him.
He still said nothing but continued to look at me. ” What?! Are you gonna stare at me all day or are you gonna say something about this? ”
” I’m listening. ” He just said.
” Well, I think I need your ears as much as I need the words too. So, while you’re listening and staring at me at the same time, why don’t we discuss about where I will have to rehearse and where the concert will be held? ”
” I’ll see what I can do about that. But before we talk about the concert, I already rented an apartment for your rehearsal. Marquis will drive you there by tomorrow morning. 13th avenue, that’s the address. ”
“Thank you. ” I said, then an uncomfortable silence erupted. Then I just realized that I had done the talking from the start, and I wasn’t ready to play the conversation starter anymore.
He started rubbing his eyes, every bit of second he was looking dull and weak. ” Are you alright? ” I asked.
” I don’t think so, I think I need some rest. ” He left to his room, and so did I.
I was wondering what might be the problem, and I just noticed I was a bit concerned about his health. ” I hope you get better before tomorrow. ” I mumbled.

This wasn’t going as planned. No, it was going way too forward than I expected. I was beginning to see the beauty behind just being a musician…
She was beginning to mesmerize me. I don’t know why I was becoming so cold to her… Guess that’s gonna be a question for next time.

The next day, Marquis and I were set to check out for the new practice hall Asher talked about yesterday. I was on a pink trouser and a pink top too, I had my hair packed in the best way I can, that’s with no body’s help tho.
Just as we were about leaving, Asher came down from his room to the sitting room. He wasn’t putting on a smile as usual and I know that sleeping devil in him has just woken up.
” You shouldn’t be on those. ” He said, referring to my outfit.
” And what’s that supposed to mean? ” I yanked.
” You’re on your period, Miss and that, ” he pointed, ” Is too light for you. ”
So rude…
” I’m going for my practice remember, not some kind of interview. So, it’s good enough for my day. And don’t worry about me getting stained again, I definitely won’t be sitting on your bed this time. ” I winked at him, before exiting the building.
We were off to the practice hall. It was more larger than I had thought. I never expected Mr Jones to rent something like this, I honestly wasn’t at all.
And it gladdens my heart that it was just more than enough for the practice and everything to go on. All thanks to him for being such a nice man. Sometimes tho.
I had called on the crews early in the morning, and in few minutes they will be here.
Maybe, I was wrong. They were here few minutes after I had got here. They were just as surprised about the building than I was, no one really expected it to be this big.
” So, this will be our practice room? ” Jenny asked, excited.
” Mm-hmm.”
” Wow! ” She exclaimed, ” I can’t believe this. ”
” Me too. ”
We got everything ready, and I saw to it that not a single person was abscent, neither were the instruments missing or incomplete before we could start the main reason why we were here.
” So guy, like I once said, this concert has to be the biggest and greatest too. I want more of your efforts and time too. A lot of people will be depending on us, let’s not turn them down. Okay? ”
” Yes, Miss. ”
” Can we just cut the crab? It’s Tricia for damn sake! ”
” But you’re the leader here, you deserve the respect. ” Cynthia said from the back.
” Thanks Cynthia, I really appreciate it but in here, everyone are equal. Maybe you can refer me as ‘Miss’ outside this walls but not here. That’s only if I insist. ” I mumbled the last statement to herself.
” Okay, back to business guys! Those under singing should come to the right, those in the the chorography should stay at the left, and those for the acting scene should stay at the back. Those for the instruments, your position remains your position. ” I played a small smile.
I watched as they arranged themselves in position just as I have divided them. While they continued, I said. ” I hope you guys still remember what we have practiced before? ”
” Yes, we do. ” They all said in chorus.
After they had finished arranging themselves, I picked Jenny to supervise the acting scene. She was actually good at that part.
I also picked Jackson for the instruments, he was a pretty badass player and sometimes, he always gets me going crazy when he starts playing those crazy beats.
And for the singing part, that was me in charge. We went into different sections for a real fresh rehearsal before we could show what we had really learnt.
I was so much happy that no one had forgotten their training. Jenny also had to attach in wonderful ideas to the short drama we were to present.
” Kudos, Jenny, I am impressed. ” I complimented.
” Thanks, ” she blushed.
So, this continued until it turned six, that was our normal dismissing time.
” Okay guys, once again you guys really made me proud. You all did great, so, I need the greatest from us on that day, no one has to take our rightful position. No one! ”
” No one! ” We gave ourselves an applaud before retreating out of the building. I was the last to leave, cos I’ve got the keys.
Jenny came to me, ” You’re stained. ” She whispered in my ear.
My eyes w¡dened, oh no! And I’ve got no extra clothes. I sighed frustratedly, I could have listened to Mr Jones. I hissed.
Stubborn me…
Jenny offered me her sweater, ” Cover it before someone else sees it. ” She left.
Marquis stopped before the building, ” The master is expecting you. ”
And why the heck why??

We got to the apartment, he was sitting on one of the sofas when I walked in. His eyes ran on me like a screening ray as if to say what he had expected turned out to happen.
” What?? ” I snapped at him.
” You got stained again? ” his face wore an angry look.
I rolled my eyes at him, ” And how does that seem to be your business? ”
” Do you have any shame at all? What if someone might have seen your blood?! ”
” Excuse me, the last time I checked, you’re the one who saw my blood. And by the way, how does that seem to bother you? ”
He said nothing… Maybe it does.
” Well, thanks about the practice hall, it was more than enough. ” I headed for my room.
🎄Chapter 09🎄
“Well,thanks for the practice hall,it was more than enough”I said and headed for my room
“Stop right there”His voice stopped me in my tracks
☄Asher☄
She just finished talking back at me and now she’s thanking me for the practice hall? What the heck!!!Does she think I’ll let this matter slide cause I kept quiet
Hell No
“Stop right there”I said and she stopped in her tracks
“Aren’t you done nagging me Mr Robot?” She glared at me intensely
What is even wrong with this lady?
“You need to learn some respect lady”I snapped and as usual she always have a way of giving it back to me
“Respect you say??? Mr Jones,you need to learn how to talk to a lady. You’re rude anreservedgant. I’m sure that’s why you never had a girlfriend”She snapped back
This lady is something else. Is she trying to say I’m a loner? Girls are head over hills in love with me. I could have more than a hundred girlfriends if I want to. How dare she tell me that? I’ll teach her a lesson. I stood up and started walking towards her
💦Tricia💦
After I told him that,he was quiet for a while and I wondered what was going on in his mind right now. I turned to look again and he stood up and started walking towards me. Oh no! Not again. The last time he walked towards me like this,things didn’t end well.
I started moving back again. Did I say anything wrong? Men like him find it hærd to get girlfriends right? Oh Tricia your mouth will kill you one day I mumbled
“What are you doing Mr Jones?”I asked trying as much as I can to hide the fact that I was scared but my legs gave me out immediately
My legs were trembling
“I want to teach you a lesson. So that you’ll know how to control your loosed tongue”He said as my back hits the wall
“That’s not fair. I only said the truth”I looked at him and there was that deadly glare again
Oh my gosh I’m done for
☄Asher☄
That’s more like it. It gives me so much satisfaction to see her terrified like this. She might have a running mouth but I have an intimidating aura
I had a feeling to scare her more but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. I saw how her face turned pale and she was almost in tears. I stepped back. Am I really that terrifying?
I couldn’t think of what to say anymore as I stared at her. The lady was really beautiful. I can’t help but admit that
“You’re a monster”
Her words yanked me out of my thoughts as I realize that this was same lady that annoys me all the time
“Excuse me?”I looked at her angrily
💦Tricia💦
I saw how he stared at me with those annoying eye balls. God knows the nonsense that is going on in his mind right now. I summoned up the last courage in me and blurted out
“You’re a monster”
He looked at me like someone who just got back from memory lane and anger flashed in his eyes.
“Excuse me?”He said and I ignored him and stormed off to my room
Who the heck does he think he is? I hate him!!! I hate this godforsaken place!!! I can’t wait for whatever I came here to do to finish Argh!!!
I opened my door and slammed it shut
It was only a stain and he wants to kill me because of it. My mum doesn’t even nag the way he does
What an assh-le!!!
I pulled off my clothes and freshened up before taking my clothes outside to wash on my own. I can’t let the maids wash them for me. I walked downstairs and saw him busy with a file. He looked at me and I turned my face and walked out
☄Asher☄
After the wh0le scenario tonight,she came back holding her stained clothes. I guess she’s gonna wash them. The maids should do that. Why is she going to wash it herself? Why am I even bothered? I don’t care! I looked at her and our gaze met but she turned her face and walked away. Did I do anything wrong? I only complained about her getting stained. What’s wrong with that?
Geez some ladies can be so ungrateful
I turned back to my files and tried concentrating on what I’m doing but it was impossible. My mind keeps going back to her
Nowadays I find it hærd to do anything cause I think of her. Am I falling in love with her???
I dismissed that thought immediately. I can’t fall in love with someone who asks me about what I detest the most all the time. Yeah!!! I’m not in love with her,No guy would love someone like her. She’s… she’s…yeah.. she’s not my type.
I stood up and left for my room
🌨THE NEXT DAY🌨
⭐Authoresses⭐
As usual,Asher and Tricia had their usual bickering before he left for work that morning. This time around,it was because Tricia didn’t greet him like a normal lady supposed to.
They went on and on arguing till he ignored her and left the house.
He was gonna have a heart attack cause of this lady some day…
He planned on going to where she was doing rehearsals that evening. As the boss and also the person who hired her,he needs to know what she’s up to.
💃REHEARSALS💃
💦Tricia💦
Ahh…I breathe in the evening breeze. It was so relaxing. This is the only place I can rest from Mr grumpy p-nts nagging. There’s just no fun when he’s around.
As usual,my able dancers and actors arranged themselves and I’m impressed with how org-nized they are. They’re the best.
“Good evening Mr Jones”I heard someone say
“Mr Jones? As in Asher?”I asked myself and turned to the direction the greetings came from and yup it was Asher
What’s he doing here???
