For the rest of the trip, Xavier and Jessica found themselves barely able to go out and they could not keep their hands off each other. When the last day to stay there came Jessica insisted on going out to get things for everyone at home, although Xavier resisted the urge to pin her down that very moment he complied with her because she asked sweetly. "What do you think Genevieve would like?" Jessica asked as she did her hair in the mirror. "I don't know, maybe a box of soaps?" he answered her in a question. "Soaps? Does she like soaps?" she asked wondering how he came up with that idea. "I do not know," he said shrugging. She shook his head and looked at him from the mirror. "Do not give me that look or we might not be able to make it out of this place today" he said and she cast her face away quickly. "Come on Xavier, we need to pick out gifts for everyone," she said as she put on the earrings. "And that is where we are currently going to is it not?" he asked. "It is but you n
Jessica had meticulously picked out gifts for everyone she knew even when Xavier told her to pick up the expensive gifts she made sure to pick affordable things. The whole mall they went to was filled up with reporters. It was as if they were waiting to scoop an important news that might happen anytime from then. "Thank God, I wore make" Jessica murmured when she saw one of the reporters turning a camera their way. "I do not know why you are bothered about how to look. You would always be beautiful regardless of the makeup or whatever it is that you wear" he said. Coming from someone who was insanely gorgeous, Jessica was confused if it was a compliment or an encouragement. After they left the mall, they went to eat something at a restaurant that Xavier had reserved for them to have a meal before they came. This was the first reservation they had met since they touched down at Aurora Haven. Xavier knew the restaurants would try to reach out when they did not see him and Jessica m
Jessica was glad that she was going to be schooled by one of the best in the industry. She remembered when she once wanted to sign up for her cooking classes a while back and the tuition fees cost millions. She wondered how much Xavier paid and she became worried about the cost. She was glad anyway because she had this chance and she had always wanted it. The morning after they both got back to Chiachester City they both knew that they had missed a lot at work. Jessica knew she needed to move fast or else she might never get to open up her restaurant. Xavier went to work and was received with so many peering eyes. It was the first time many of them saw the man take off time from work. They noticed the quick change in his attitude after getting involved with his wife. Jessica on the other hand was uncomfortable with the two men following her ever so closely even when she had repeatedly told them not to do so. It was getting closer to lunch time and Jessica suddenly remembered the p
"What? You want me to ask my husband to give you a job?" "You know your husband is rich and owns so many companies. If he can give me something to do so I can have enough money saved up for the baby" She rubbed her tummy again. She still had the devilish plan of taking Xavier from her. She wanted him to herself and still believed in her ability even though everyone she had shared this vision with had told her that it was a stupid risky plan that would never work out. "You want me to ask my husband to give you a job?" Jessica asked again as if she had not heard the first time. Emma hated that she was having this discussion with Jessica and she hated even more the fact that she would have to go back and forth with her while putting up a smiley face all the while. "After all you did to me?" Jessica asked a wave of remembrance of the attitude of the girls she considered her best friend in the whole world. "You stole my boyfriend and got pregnant for him, spread false rumors about me
Emma could not believe that Jessica would ever treat her in that manner. She had known her as a gentle soul. She expected her to fall especially if she was talking about the baby. She did not even show a sign of concern about the baby in question. Now she saw her plan failing before her eyes because she could not meet Xavier directly and she could not go for an interview as it was not hiring season. She sighed and decided to go back to re-strategize she had to get the prize once she had set her eyes on it. After Emma left Jessica called Xavier, she was boiling at the audacity of that woman to enter into her restaurant and ramble about things like that to her. "Hello baby," Xavier said to her. Ever since he had complained to her about being too formal he had used different nicknames for her at intervals to show her how effective it is. She could not deny it she actually felt warm whenever she heard them from him. He took the name calling very seriously and to the letter."Should I
When she entered Xavier's office she walked up to the table dropping the lunch box on the center table along the way. Xavier was startled because she usually just sat waiting for him in the chair there but this time she was walking towards him. She stood beside him and he could see her sad eyes. "What happened to you?" he asked standing up. He was taken by another surprise when she went in for a hug her hands tightly wrapped around him and her head firmly pressed on his chest. He did not speak again as he waited for her to express herself. She too did not know why she felt so emotional. She knew she would have handled the situation better than she did but she did not care. She liked the solution she was getting which was the warm embrace and the lingering cologne smell coming from Xavier. He patted her head gently and she began to feel a bit relieved after the hug. She pulled herself away from him a bit but her hands were still wrapped around her. "What happened?" he asked stroki
It was three weeks after and not many events were happening. Xavier had asked Marcus to help in requesting the restraining. Emma was mad as hell when she received the letter in the mail. She hated how they had taken the law into their hands. She now believed that Jessica and Xavier were now together. She was feeling down. She could not go back to Burke because she had no claim over him now that the baby was gone and she could end up paying a fine or serving time if she wanted close to either Jessica or Xavier. She hated her life. Jessica on the other hand started to notice the subtle change in her eating habits. She began to feel nauseated by things she naturally liked before and she began to crave things she would not randomly just have. At breakfast that morning as she put the spoon close to her mouth she could swear that the oats had a fishy smell. She dropped it back into the bowl in front of her and took a deep breath. Her eating had been a mess these past few days because sh
Jessica was pacing around the room. She had called Xavier to know how long he would be out. She did not know how he was supposed to take the news that she was pregnant. She remembers all the times that Dawson brought up them having a baby and how he reacted. Even though he made a passing joke about them having a baby she did not know if he meant it or not. "Where is Jessica?" Xavier asked when he stepped into the house. He wrapped up what he was doing early and ran home. Jessica has never called him to pull him away from work so he needed to know why she seemed to be acting like that today. He had noticed how sensitive and touchy she had been the past few weeks after the vacation they took. "In the master bedroom upstairs" Angel replied bowing down. He rushed up the stairs and opened the door he saw her pacing the whole floor of the room her face looking worried. "Baby," he said as he entered the room. He walked to her and took hold of her shoulders to stop the pacing. "How are yo
