Yay! Finally, Jake's pov
JAKE.
I could not take my eyes away from the petit girl that was dancing on the dance floor. Colour of eyes, hair and cloth. She moved her hips so sensously to the beat of the music playing in the background, hands in hair and giggling with who I will assume to be perhaps her friend. I haven't taken a girl back home to have sex with but with this girl, I am instantly attracted to her and I don't know why.
I did not know the time I stood up and made my way to the dance floor. I wrapped my arms around her waist drawing her closer to me. She turned her body towards me with a grin on her face still dancing to the music. "You look beautiful." I complimented her and it is true, she is beautiful. All she did was giggle and then she smashed her lips on mine.
"Take it easy there tiger," I chuckled. "How about we take this over to my place, hmn?" I asked and she replied by nodding her head.
Bingo.
All I
Jake's povAfter that day I met Maria, things have been going on pretty well. After some time I heard from Joe Maria went to visit her parents in Paris the same week I had a meeting with one of my clients in Paris. After the meeting I decided to show up at her at parent's house. Creepy, I know. I got their address also from Joe.I guess things are moving pretty well between us. I would not lie, I am attracted to her and that's part of the reason why I am taking responsibility for the child. I admit, I made a mistake not using the condom but all that was on my mind was that she was on the pill.I asked her out on a date and she agreed, even though she does not want to admit it is a date. I don't know what is wrong with going on a date with me. A lot of ladies would want to be in her position right now. She should be excited she gets to go on this date with me. When last did I even go on a date? I never do dates, just sex.I pu
"let's find out, shall we?" He smirked at me as he stared at me and then placed his plate of chocolate cake on a table."Wha-what do you mean?" I chuckled nervously. He was making me nervous cause now he was leaning towards me and his hand was on my thigh, on my freaking thigh!"You said you are not attracted to me, right?" He said softly his hands moving upwards making heat pull between my thighs."Yh." I gulped nervously."Good. And that is what I am trying to find out." He smirked as his other hand went behind my head on the couch's arm."How are you going to find out?" Now I was whispering, why am I whispering?He moved closer to me, our noses we're almost touching and breathing the same air. I was breathing heavily and I saw him look down at my chest and then moisten his lips.Oh shit. That. Was. Sexy.He smirked a little and then grazed his lips with mine a little. I did not want to mak
Jake's pov.I exhaled as I ran my hands through my already messy hair. I was trying to fix a date for a very important meeting I plan on having but it looks like this week is really packed for me. I have no free time, well, unless I reschedule every single thing and they are all meetings."Paris." I called out to my personal assistant as I wiggled my fore finger towards her office. I had them design both our offices in such a way that it would be connected together. The only thing separating us was the transparent glass door, and sometimes the blinds."Yes sir." She gave me a.... Is that a flirty smile? Maybe I am just seeing things. Paris is one of my board members daughter. She just graduated from college and her dad asked for a favour- her working as my personal assistant. The man has been with me since I started my company and I could not reject him of this one favour he asked of me. So, I just had to accept her."Can you
"How?" She asked, her fork clattering on her plate, "I do not remember you having a girlfriend." She squinted her eyes at him. "Well, I remember you breaking up with that psycho you were dating. Don't tell me she's the one you got pregnant?" She pointed a finger at me."What? No! It's not Beverly I'm talking about.""Then who?""Her name is Maria and-""Is she your girlfriend?""No. At least not yet." I hesitated before adding the last part."So how come she's pregnant?" My mom asked.Oh God. Do I need to explain how a woman gets pregnant to her."It is as long story mom." I exhaled in tiredness."Well at least it is good since you are taking responsibility. When am I meeting her?""Meeting her?""Yes." She rolled her eyes and then resumed eating, "meeting her.""Uh, I do not think she is ready for that. We are both not ready for that.
I exhaled tiredly as I got to my last stop, the ice cream shop. I have been to the store and got her every single flavour of chips and Cheetos. Then I went to Mc Donald's and got her some food. Right now, I am at the ice cream shop."Good evening. What would you like to have please?" The young boy beging the counter asked me as soon as I got to him, he looked bored."Uh, can I have the largest ice cream you have?""Flavour?""Vanilla.""That would be 3dollars and 15 cents."I brought out my wallet from my back pocket and then paid the boy as I collected the ice cream."Thank you." I gave him a small smile and then made my way outside the ice cream shop. I started the car engine, picked up my phone from the passenger's seat to check if Maria has replied to my texts but it only brought out seen. I rolled my eyes as I sent another message and started heading towards her house.In my
Maria's POV.There's something different about this morning. I can feel it. My body feels warmer, it's probably Joe. But then, I remembered Philip came over yesterday so Joe can not be cuddling with me. Did I sleep with someone while pregnant with someone else's child?!I was scared shitless to open my eyes, well that was until my brain took in his smell.Ah, I know that smell anywhere.Jake.At least I didn't sleep with someone else whole pregnant with his child.That thought is horrifying alone.I snuggled closer to him, well he is warm, might as well make use of the comfort.But he's not even your boyfriend.Yeah and so? He's my baby daddy.Cuddling is for only couples.I don't care.So you want to catch feeling again after what happened the last time?No shit.Now I'm talking to myself. I need
It has been two weeks since my last encounter with Jake or I last contacted him in any way whatsoever. I didn't try and he also didn't. To be honest, it made me a little bit hurt. And I don't know why. It is not supposed to hurt me in anyway that he hasn't called in to check up on me like he usually does.Joe already left for work this morning after eating the French toast I had prepared. I made my way into the bathroom, had my bath and did all the necessary things. I put on an orange tank top, a blue jeans and then a white sandal. I carried my white tote bag, which was already filled with all my important stuffs. My laptop, a notebook, a pen, a bottle of water and of course chocolates and chips.I quickly ate my breakfast and then made my way to the nearest coffee shop. At least if I can't take coffee, I can inhale the smell. It took a while before I could get to the coffee shop. Immediately I entered into the shop, the bell abo
"We did." Joe giggled.My eyes widened, "ohmyGod!" I pulled Joe into a tight embrace while she chuckled, "I am so happy for you guys." And then also Philip."Thank you." Philip said."It is about time." I said putting a fry in my mouth."I am starving." Joe groaned picking up my burger and then taking a huge bite from it."Joe!" I whined."I am sorry. It looks tempting." She grinned at me with her mouth full of food."Then ring the bell and order you own food." I snatchers my burger from her."You love me anyways.""Yeah, sadly I do."Joe and Philip ordered their food while Jake said he was not having anything. He still hasn't talked to me or even soared me a glance. We all talked through Lunch, wellz whenever I contributed something Jake ignored me or whenever I answer a question he asks he just stares at me blankly.Him not talking to me is really childish.
"She is going to make you both late on your first day of school." My mom gave me a pitiful smile as she handed me a plate of sandwhich and coffee.I gave her a grateful smile and then shrugged, "it's not the first time she will make me late on the first day of school," I adjusted the huge frame of glasses, "or any other day for that matter." I took a bite from the sandwhich."Arielle! You're going to make your brother late!" My mom shouted as she placed another plate of sandwhich and coffee on the island."I'm coming! Almost done!" She shouted back.That's what she said ten minutes ago.My mom sighed as she rolled her eyes and then proceeded to wash the dishes. "That's what she said ten minutes ago." My mom muttered as she continued scrubbing the plate under the running tap.I laughed to myself, we just said the same thing.
CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVENI was still excited about the whole engagement when I woke up in the morning. I woke up with a huge smile on my face."Baby." He called when I kept smiling at my hand where my ring was placed."Hmm" I answered not looking up."We need to talk" This, caught my attention."Is something wrong?" He shook his head No, "Everything is great we just need to make some decisions before the dinner tonight." He explained."Ok. What is it?" I asked."When do you want us to get married?" He asked me."I honestly don't care. Anytime you're ready" I answered honestly."Tomorrow then?" He said. I laughed."Really? Jake" I was still laughing."Just kidding. I just want to make you my wife so fast. I can do it now if possible." He said. "Pick any da
CHAPTER FIFTY SIXThe drive home was really quiet because I didn't know what to say. This is not me. I hate this new person that I am becoming. I've never been the insecure type. Why did the thought of wearing a dress so beautiful terrify me? Maybe because I did not want to embarrass Jake for his meeting tonight. Very close to the house Jake placed his right hand on my thigh and gave me a gentle squeeze. I turned to find him looking at me.“You're beautiful love and I love every inch of you” God no. Does he know what I was thinking?“Thank you” I forced out not wanting to act like this anymore.“I had plans for dinner as a surprise but we will just eat in today” He confessed. So there wa no meeting. I smiled.“I appreciate it, Jake,” I told him.“You’re the best thing that ever happened to me” My cheeks grew redder each second he complimented me. &nbs
CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE“Shouldn't we call your mum to bring the kids?” I asked when I stayed in each other arms.“She has them for a week” He replied, the vibration of his thick, deep voice tickling my ears.“I didn't pack their bag for a week Jake” I groaned not liking the idea of my children not being with me for this long. This would be the first time this ever happened.“I’ll do that” He offered. I laughed and got away from him.“Thanks for the offer but you and I both know that you wouldn't be able to do that,” I said standing up to walk to the bathroom. I winced in pain. I quickly sat back down.“Fuck” I mutter realizing how sour I am.Jake moved closer to me and placed his hands on my shoulders.“A massage?”
‘’Really?’’ I asked trying so hard to hide my excitement from him.‘’Yes love’’ He answered with a smile. He drops his hands to my waist letting them linger on my butt. I did not say anything about this because I really did miss his touch and having so much of his time like this. It should not be like this but I guess that’s what having children can do to you. I smiled as I looked up at him.‘’I love you so much Maria’’ He whispered with a look of pride in his eyes. I blushed so had under his gaze.‘’I love you too’’ I said back to Jake.‘’No, tell me you love me’’ He begged. I chuckled at his request but obliged.‘’I love you’’ I said to him truly. I really miss this, having him in my arms and just being with each other.
Yes, it went badly. I was supposed to spend thirty minutes max, but no, the woman decided to keep me for an extra hour and theiry minutes. I spent two fucking hours! Two fucking whole hours sitting in a coffee shop, with an old woman who I haven't seen since I was probably five or six. Now imagine eeveything that has happened in here life since then. She decided it was just the right time to tell me everything that has happened in her life, her make son's life- who is about my age range and her grandchildren life.I exhaled loudly as I opened my car door and then got out of the car as I made my way back inside the house with the huge brown envelope. I brought out my phone from my back pocket and then dialed my mom's number as I entered into the elevator."Hey mom.""Maria! How are you?""I'm fine. I'm good. I already got your envelope." I rested against the wall of the elevator as I pressed the button to the top floor."Oh t
"Is your mom still coming to pick up the kids?" I grumbled as I threw the blanket over my body and then stood up from the bed. I walked slowly towards our bathroom, ruhebbing the sleep from my eyes."Yeah, she is." He replied as he put on his black pants.I stared at my reflection in the mirror and then exhaled loudly. I picked up my toothbrush from where it is usually kept and then put the toothpaste on it. "You would be gone by then?" I asked as I poked my head into our bedroom and then started brushing my teeth as I stared at myself in the mirror."Yes. I think so.""Do you really have to go this early?" I asked as soon as I was done brushing my teeth and then walked back into our room."I do baby." He placed a kiss on my forehead, "I have an early meeting this morning."I groaned, "but we haven't been spending so much time together." I pouted."I know baby. I know and I will make it
It has been two months since Joe and Philip's wedding, August. My bundle of Joys are almost eight months old. Grayson and Arielle were busy playing with their toys, that was scattered around the living room and blabbering about whatever it is they blabber about. I have a red apple in hand as I go over the manuscript I am editing.In the last two months, I already started using glasses because I do stare at the screen of my laptop a lot and I have been having bad headaches."You actually do look sexier with your large glasses. I like it." Jake commented on it the first time he saw me wearing them.I tipped my glasses higher up on my nose to prevent it from falling off. I glanced at the large black wall clock and the time said past eight pm. I should probably take these kids to bed now.I shut down my laptop, "okay kids, it's time to go to bed." I cooed as I picked up Arielle while Grayson continued to play with his toy as he blabbered abo
Wedding bells.I love weddings. There is something about them that just makes me excited about them. It's Joe's wedding day. My best friend is getting married. and I am so happy for her. She deserves so much more after everything she has been through. And by that I mean her mother."Your make up is all done. Just a final touch." The male make up artist said as he applied his final touches to a grinning Joe. We locked gazes through the mirror and I gave her a sincere smile.I was indeed happy for my best friend and sister."That's it." The make up artist, John, smacked his lips and then Joe stood up as she walked over to me. I engulfed her in a long lasting hug."Is it bad that I am Nervous?" She chuckled slightly."No, it's not. It is perfectly normal, from everything I've read." I grinned. I could still tell she was nervous, "you are going to do fine. And no Philip is not going to walk away from the weddi
