Chapter 23: Is this what we call "morning word?'

"Is that what they call 'morning wood?' Whoa, is so big''.

Aaron Saint looked down and saw his erection and screamed at her ''Hey, you..you..get out right now!''

Mai ran out leaving her teddy bear and Aaron Saint ran into his closet flushed.

Aaron Saint looked down at his erection again and cussed ''damn it. Whether is August, Maijune or Mai, they are all going to drive me crazy''.

DINING TABLE.

Aaron Saint walked down the stairs and saw Mai eating her breakfast. Mai instinctively looked at him and he spoke to her angrily.

''Where are you looking at? Eat your food''. Mai looked away and continued to eat her food. Aaron Saint sat across her and picked his cutlery to eat.

He stopped and put the cutlery down and spoke.

''Let's talk and end this here'' Mai looked at him a little confused.

''Talk about what?''

''This morning…you. What were you doing in my room? Aren't you scared of anything? How could you go into a man's room and sleep with him?''

''We didn't sleep together, we just slept on the same bed''.

''What? Forget of that. Why did you go into my room in the first place?''

''I must have dreamt about my parents. Anytime I have a dream about them, I get scared and can't sleep alone. I came to your room because I felt it was safe there''.

''Safe? Nowhere is safe. You're a woman, I am a man. Don't you know is dangerous?'' Aaron Saint asked Mai and glared at her.

''How is it dangerous? We are only sharing the same bed''

''You..you…you leave me speechless''.

''Can I continue to sleep with you? I'm scared to sleep alone''.

''What? Did everything I just said fall on a block wall?''

''No, off course not. I just want to sleep in the same bed with you. Bare with it, I'm scared''

''Look here, young Miss. I am more dangerous than the dreams you're having''.

''No way… liar. You're shy because I saw that…morning wood, right? Don't worry, it will be our little secret. Neither August nor Maijune will know about it. Also, I will make sure I set an alarm that will wake me up by 5:00am in the morning. I will leave the room before you even wake up''.

Aaron Saint looked at Mai speechlessly and ate his breakfast without talking again.

SAINT GROUP.

PRESIDENT'S OFFICE.

Aaron Saint sat on his desk and massaged his head and Morris looked at him and spoke ''boss, are you alright? Do you feel sick?'' Aaron Saint looked at Morris and shook his head saying.

''I wished I was really sick, then I could go to the hospital and get treated''

''Uhuh?''

''I want to be alone''

''Yes, boss''. Morris looked at Aaron Saint worriedly before going out. Aaron Saint picked his phone and dialled Dr. Kash's number.

KASH FAMILY HOSPITAL.

DR. KASH JNR. CONSULTING ROOM.

Dr. Kash looked at Aaron Saint interestingly as he supported his chin with his hand.

Aaron Saint grew impatient the more Dr. Kash stared at him. He had come to find him because he thought he could be off help but all the doctor did was stare at him as if he was a being out of space.

Aaron Saint knocked at the table irritably and spoke ''Kash, are you listening to me? Did you even hear everything I said?''

Dr. Kash smiled and replied ''I heard everything, but, I was thinking of a solution. Since she has refused to visit the hospital, my friend can't come up with a proper diagnostic. So, you have finally met with all three personalities and they are oddly different as my friend said during the first diagnosis. But, sleeping together in the same room? Man, is dangerous''.

''That girl is going to be the death of me, I swear. She is so sly''.

''So, what are you going to do? Start sharing your bed with her?''

''Off course, I won't accept that kind of arrangement. She already saw my…thing this morning and said it was big''.

''What? Were you naked?''

''No, I forgot she was in the room and got out of the shower in only a towel''.

''It must have been interesting. I bet your life is starting to get interesting Aaron? Back at abroad, no woman was able to get on your nerves. Well, except for Liyah. You loved her so much and she slept with your cousin behind you. Would she have continued if you hadn't found out? Thinking of how you threw caution to the win and didn't listen to our advice all because you were deeply in love with her, just baffles me''.

''I know, right? I guess I really did love her''.

''Aaron, just in case, I'm asking if she leaves Josh Saint, will you take her back?''

''What? Why would I do that? Any love I had for her died that night I saw her with Josh. I am not interested in someone who didn't have my interest at heart''.

''Well, you have August, Maijune who is three persons in one now''.

'"Arrange a meeting with that psychiatrist. I'm taking Mai to see him tomorrow. And also, make sure you let the people take care of the laboratory I talked to you about''

''You're really going to turn one of the rooms into a laboratory for her?''

''Yes, is better to get her busy. Before Maijune comes back, I intend to get some information out of Mai. She seems to know a lot about dangerous stuff and that is already alarming. She could be in real danger if I let her out of my sight''

''Well, that is true. I will arrange a meeting with the doctor tomorrow'' Dr. Kash added.

....

EDEN ESTATES.

SAINT VILLA.

The alarmed went off waking Aaron Saint up abruptly. He stretched his hand to the table and picked the phone turning off the alarm. As he put the phone back he felt movement under the blanket and immediately lifted the quilt and got startled to see Mai sound asleep.

Aaron Saint frowned and thought back to the night before. Because he didn't want to sleep in the same bed with Mai, he intentionally got home late and made sure he locked the room before going to bed after checking to ensure that Mai was sound asleep in her room only to wake up and see her in his bed again.

It looked like she really ignored all his warning and still sneaked in to sleep in his room but, where could she have gotten the key from? He thought. Aaron Saint sighed and got down from the bed and quickly went into his closet to dress properly. It seemed he could no longer sleep in only his undergarments because of Mai.

Aaron Saint gave up and got out dressed casually and saw Mai sitting on the bed. Mai smiled at him saying ''I kept my promise right? I pretended to be asleep so that you could change comfortably before I opened my eyes. I did well, right?''

Aaron Saint walked to the bed and pulled her up saying ''you…didn't I tell you not to come into my room again?''

''And I told you I couldn't sleep alone. It's too scary and I get nightmares''.

''I definitely locked the door before going to bed. How did you get in?''

''Oh, that? I knew you would do something like that, so, I made my own key from a mental I bought at the shop outside the villa. I told you, I'm very smart''

Mai smiled and Aaron Saint became frustrated and pointed at the door.

"Get out, right now, this minute''.

''Okay''. Mai walked to the door and turned to speak to him as she opened the door ''Mr. Saint, you should sleep with clothes from now onwards, since we are now two using the bed and I wouldn't want to accidentally touch it''.

Mai blinked innocently as she said it.

''I know, just get out''. Mai ran out as Aaron Saint screamed at her.

MIND HEALTH HOSPITAL.

Mai got out of the car and stood next to Aaron. She looked at the hospital sign board and turned to Aaron Saint saying.

''Are you seriously bringing me to see a psychiatrist?''

''Yes, you're dangerous for my health, let's go in''. Aaron Saint held Mai's hand and walked in before she could even protest.

Mai scanned the consulting room as Dr. Sam looked at her. Mai walked to a picture of a family of three and spoke as her.

''Doctor, is this your family?''

Dr. Sam smiled bitterly as he spoke ''yes, my wife and daughter''.

''You have a beautiful wife and a pretty daughter but…?' Mai turned and looked at him as she continued ''why do you sound sad?''

''What did you say?'' Dr. Sam looked at Mai as she walked to take a seat in front of him.

''I asked why you look sad when you have such a beautiful family?''

''Because, they are not with me''.
