????DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH???? - Episode 48

“Even if you are playing hide and seek, do you have to hold his hands like that?,” the teacher whose name is Justin asked him.

Before Jimmy could answer, Asher decided to play a trick on him. “Sir, I was asking him to release my hand but he didn’t answer. He even held my hands with force. Here is the mark sir as evidence.”

He even showed the teacher his pale coloured skin which actually had faint red marks. Jimmy opened his mouth wide agape. See the person he is trying to help.

The teacher looked at him with a cold glare. Jimmy could already imagine what the teacher is thinking. He is probably thinking that Jimmy thinks because he is a rich kid, he can bully anyone he likes.

Jimmy gave the teacher the most innocent look he could muster which clearly says,’ No sir, don’t look at me that way. I am very innocent. I didn’t do anything wrong.’

Asher tried to hold his laughter in as soon as he saw Jimmy’s expression. Does the coward knows he looks right now?

He looked back and saw that the boys chasing after them already ran away as soon as they saw the teacher. Well the coward is actually useful for something but that doesn’t mean that those boys will stay away.

They will probably continue disturbing him until he teaches them a very good lesson. But mom! His mom…

“Sir, don’t mind anything he is saying. We are friends right…,” Jimmy’s words trailed off as soon as he realized he doesn’t know the boy’s name and the teacher is already looking at him suspiciously.

He swore that the little brat is gonna pay for this as soon as the teacher leaves. Is this the right way to treat your saviour?

“We are friends right Adam?,” he asked Asher who frowned. Well Jimmy only said the random name that came to his head. Asher frowned. Adam?

Well the coward actually got the first letter of his name correctly. The rest wrong. But Asher decided to just let it go cause he wants to settle this matter as soon as possible and go back to his class.

So he nodded to confirm words and said,“Yes sir, I and Jimmy are very good friends. We like playing hide and seek alot.” That finally dissipated the doubt in the teacher’s mind.

“Okay, if you say so. Carry on children,” the teacher said and he turned to leave. Jimmy gladly waved goodbye, at him. As soon as the teacher was out of their sight, he turned back to Asher with a glare.

“What?,” Asher asked with an innocent look as if he isn’t aware of what he did. Jimmy looked at him. Seriously! Is he trying to act unaware now?

“I can’t believe you almost sold me out to the teacher!,” Jimmy shouted.

“Point of correction. I didn’t sell you out. I only tried to play a harmless prank on you,” Asher replied.

“You call that a prank. In case you don’t know, Mr Justin hates the guts of rich kids that bully other kids. He could have had me suspended and aunt Sharon will be so mad at me!,” he told Asher.

“Who is aunt Sharon?,” Asher asked with a puzzled look.

Jimmy eyed him and retorted,“Don’t say her name. You don’t have the right to call my aunt Sharon.”

Asher just shrugged his shoulders. He doesn’t care. “Are you through with your drama now? Can I leave?,” he asked Jimmy.

“What is your name? And how old are you?,” Jimmy asked.

“I’m Asher. Why do you want to know my age?,” Asher looked at him suspiciously.

Jimmy just smiled and said,“No need to think about weird things. I’m Jimmy Madon and I’m eight. Well almost eight.”

For the first time since they met, Asher smiled and Jimmy looked at the dimples in his cheeks enviously. He touched his own cheeks and subconsciously thought,’It’s not fair. He has cute holes in his cheeks and I have none.’

Meanwhile Asher is actually smiling cause Jimmy said almost eight. It is quite refreshing to meet someone who is similar or a little bit similar to him.

“Well I’m six. Almost six,” Asher said and now it was Jimmy’s turn to smile. “Even though you are younger than me and I’m your senior, can we be friends?,” Jimmy asked stretching out his hands for a handshake.

“Deal. I’m not allowed to call you senior right?,” Asher answered as he shook Jimmy’s hands with his.

“Yeah, you can call me whatever you want. Just respect your senior,” Jimmy said cheekily and Asher couldn’t help smiling again.

Then they turned around and parted ways. Each one going in the opposite direction. Hmm… Such good friends. Now I’ve missed my favourite couple. Let’s go back to them.

Sharon walked around the room slowly with a cute but sad pout. It’s been days now but Jasper wants her to do excercise everyday just to make sure she is getting better.

The first time she had worn the sport outfit which comprise of a short sport shirt and pant. You know all those yoga pants. The one that hugs the back curve tightly and outline the pant area.

Jasper’s eyes almost bulged out. He choked on his saliva as soon as he saw that sweet curve. The perfect figure eight. God! Which part of his eyes saw that she was fat? That part is clearly blind.

This can’t be classified as fat. It is simply called created beautifully in his own image. Hahahaha, that statement is for you all who knows the scripture well in the Bible.

She was looking so beautiful with her hair tied into a bun that he so wanted to get up, carry her over his shoulder and throw her on the bed. Then show her the way she should be treated by a real man.

But he had somehow managed to convince himself to resist the temptation. Now he is having a countdown of how many more days is left for the wedding.

And this is just Wednesday. God!!! Can you just imagine the frustration he must be feeling?

“Jasper, can I please rest now? I’ve been walking around for the past one hour now and the legs you wanted to check if they are perfectly okay now aches alot,” she complained.

“First, I asked you to call me hubby not Jasper. It’s hubby not Jasper. Secondly, it hasn’t been one hour. Wifey, it’s just thirty minutes. Lastly, this is the most simplest exercise in the whole world right now,” he answered as he checked the golden stopwatch in his hand.

Sharon stopped walking and looked at him with disbelief. Jasper frowned as he quickly paused the stopwatch before questioning her,“Wifey! Why did you stop?”

“You call this excercise simple. Why don’t you come and do it yourself? You loudly said it the other day that couple should stick together even to the point of going to hell. So please dear hubby, come and kindly do this exercise for your wifey,” Sharon told him.

Jasper laughed awkwardly and asked,“What are you saying wifey? The excercise might be simple to you but it is not for me. My legs aren’t functioning like yours, have you forgotten?”

“So shut up and stop acting like a grouchy coach. Do you want to kill me before the wedding? I’ll just faint from this tough excercise,” Sharon said before she drained a cup of water.

Jasper laughed softly. She called walking around the room consecutively a tough excercise. What about ladies that lift weight? Did they die?

“Hey wifey, you can’t die. You need to be fresh and sexy for our wedding night,” Jasper said teasingly. Sharon immediately spat out the tiny drops of water in her mouth.

“Wedding night. What wedding night? Even if we were to have any wedding night, I’ll rather sleep with a complete man than you,” Sharon retorted.

Jasper should feel offended with the way she talked to him about his disability but he only smirked and asked,“So you would only have s*x with a complete man. A man that can walk unlike me.”

Sharon nodded indicating yes. She is only teasing him but little did she know that Jasper actually took her words seriously.

“Yes, I’ll surely have s*x with my hubby if he can walk but I don’t have to worry about you taking advantage of me because you are crippled. Sorry, that came out harsh. I meant to say cause you can’t walk so I know I’ll enjoy this marriage in peace,” Sharon retorted.
