Jack looked up from his laptop as Jake came barging into his study.
"Jake" he said in a calm tone.
Jake slapped his hands down on the table in front of him.
"Well, that was epic, man!""What are you talking about, Jake?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about, man. Coming to the club without anyone knowing before hand, then having a public session? That was DOPE!"
Jack rolled his eyes. Jake was really hard to stop when he was on a roll.
"You're awfully hyper, Jake. Had too much caffeine this morning?", Jack asked him.
"Nah, I'm good. But it was crazy, man. Everyone's talking about you. Kayla had been passed down from Dom to Dom. You just came in and, wham!"
Jack smiled. Well, what was it they said? Master of masters?
"Where was Bryan? Didn't find him anywhere around during the session", he as
Meg stared at the document she held in her hands with disbeliefThe heck? Was this how the whole thing ended? Totally different from how it started.She had been surprised when she had read the last letter and everything did not make sense, but seeing this document?The document in her hand was a report from a doctor stating that Catherine was plagued with an illness they knew nothing of.According to the note she could read, Catherine had made up imaginary people, or in this case, lovers whom she thought were real.How the hell did the story move from romantic to downright crazy? If this was the history she was supposed to write into a book, was it still worth writing?Would people be interested in reading this? Or rather, would Jack want it?She picked up her phone and called Jake."Hey, Jake""Amor. How are you? What's up?""I
"You wanted to tell me something", Meg asked Jake as they sat down on a bench at the park."Yeah, I did. But I'll tell you later. I just thought we could use to walk. We never got to walk yesterday", Jake told her." Yeah. I had to finish up the draft. I'm done now, anyways. Just gotta edit and finish it up.Even though it did not turn out to be what I wanted"" That's good. I gotta ask you a question, though", Jake said" Yeah?"" What are you gonna do when you're done? You came here for the book and now you're almost done. What will you do?", Jake asked her." I want to travel a bit. Maybe go to some place far and start over. I wanna see sights. I don't want to be in one place", Meg told him." Oh", Jake said, softly." Yeah. I've always wanted to travel around, an air hostess or a travel agent. I had a desire to back pedal around Euro
Meg walked into Jack's study, her heart in her throat. If hr turned her down today, what was she going to do?She had talked long with Juliet yesterday and she decided, if she never gave it a try, how would she know how he truly felt?She knew he wasn't the kind to show his feelings freely, so it was either she made him talk or they continued whatever arrangement they had going on.She knocked twice on the door and pushed it open."Morning", Jack said to her."Morning, Jack", Meg replied and wondered how to begin." I was just about to come and meet you. I need a favor from you", Jack told her." Yeah? "" I'm supposed to have some sort of business dinner with a few potential clients tonight and I was hoping you could accompany me", Jack explained."Oh"Well, she wanted to ask him if he was willing to go out with her to dinner. This was just
Meg walked into the Manor behind Jack in the morning.She was exhausted and pleased. Jack had made good his promise, showing her how many ways he could make her scream his name. But she hadn't gotten around to it telling him how she felt and she had to do it now.Before she lost courage."Jack, I have to tell you something""Sure, come up to my study",Jack said with a smile." Thanks for last night, Meghan", Jack said softly to her." It was amazing, Jack. Thank you too." Where he got the habit of being polite after a steamy love making, she did not know. But that did not matter right now." But I have something to confess""Yeah?"Meg sat down and faced him. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she unfolded her palms and placed them on his table."Jack, I think I'm falling for you", she said in one breath" W
"Can we pretty please with a cherry on top focus on why I came here three weeks before your wedding?"Juliet sighed and stood up from the king sized bed."You've been moping all day and don't try to tell me no. I've known you for a long time, missus"" Probably jetlagged. Nothing more to it. I'll sleep on this comfy bed for a couple more hours and then I'll be fine"replied Meghan. It would do her no good to worry Juliet incessantly."It's a man problem, love. I know one whenever I see it and I know you're in love. But with who? Who took little miss all work and no play's heart?"Lay off, Jules. I'm not in love and I'm not bothered about any man either. I just wrapped things up early than expected and decided to make an early trip.I should have waiting until the last minute, now that I see it. Perhaps you wouldn't see me much to bug me", Meg said" I'm just worried
"I know you want me to go out with you and Leonard, Jules but I won't be a third wheel to two people who spend all the hours of the day sucking each other faces", Meg told Juliet, her hands on her hips."You don't have to be a third wheel, Meg. I'll introduce you to a few people, promise", Juliet tried placating."Oh shush. Between you and I, you'll go off in a private corner kissing your love as soon as you have the chance. Besides, I do not want to get introduced to anyone. Remember what happened two days ago?", Meg asked her.Juliet groaned."You're still holding me over that? I thought he was a perfectly nice guy. He had been courteous since we got here""You mean because your fiance has enough money to make him act appropriate? Everyone knows that if they as much as make any inappropriate gesture at you, Leo would break their fucking necks", Meg stated.Juliet sighed, her e
"Are you still with us?" Jack heard the snap of fingers in front of him and looked at who had the fingers"Yeah, I'm here""You zoned out for a moment there"" I know, dad. I was thinking", Jack replied impatiently. He had finally agreed to the board meeting but he did not agree to be snapped at."What do you think about the production line in Chelsea?",his father asked.Jack bit down on his tongue to refrain himself from replying rudely as he searched for nice words in his vocabulary. If he wanted to tell his father how he felt, his father's ego could take a bruising and Jack wasn't about to sour the sweet chance of him taking over the company. Not when he had worked tooth and skin to get a chance."I think it's a good chance, but...",he let the unspoken words lie in the air." But?', his father prompted.Inside his head, Jack smiled. At
"It's amazing, isn't it?""Now I wonder why I put up my initial argument. I should have just said "yes, please""You were giving me all that, Jules I cant accept charity bullshit,sermon"" I was trying to be independent, Sue me", Meghan said." Independent my ass. Who bumped your seat up to first class? Checked you into the hotel?", Juliet asked her" It wasn't comfortable, anyways and the people at the hotel were too stuffy and formal", Meg replied her, turning up her nose." Yet you didn't want to leave""I'll admit, being waited on hands and feet has it's perks. Who cares about the stuffy people?", Meghan said with a sighJuliet walked to the living room wall of the penthouse which was all glass."Tell me , what do you think?""It's beautiful. The view from here is crazy. I can almost touch the sky if I
Should there be a spin-off? I’m curious to see if you guys want more. It’ll have to be the main characters acting as side characters, and the main story will be about Megan’s friend. She’ll fall in love with one of Jack’s old friend that she met at the wedding- love at first sight. But, he’ll not be in love with her. I’m curious, because it’s an idea I have been working out in my head for months. If you say you want it- I’ll give it to you. Also, I’m a better writer now, so there’s that.
"You sure about this, sugar? We can always have a private session at home. The playroom is big enough", Jack asked Meghan as they walked into the club.She reached up and kissed him."I'm okay, Jack. This is your world and I want to make it mine too. Besides, I don't want to take you away from your friends"Jack looked at her, love shining in his eyes.To him, Meghan was the only person in the club."Hey, man. Congratulations", Caleb slapped him on the back." Yeah, congrats on getting engaged. Seems like we have two open spots now", Luke said" Don't you fucking dare", Caleb and Jack growled."Chill out. I was only kidding. Do your partners know that they are keeping tigers at home? "Meghan patted Jack's chest." Of course I do. I just make sure I give him his meal on time", she said and winked at Luke." Ouu. Lucky guy""Congratulations, Meghan", Jake came forward."Jake", Meghan practically jumped on him."Where the hell have you been?""Here. Was waiting till you get back before I
"God, you're goddamn beautiful. You are like an angel, a fairy, a goddess", Meghan gushed as Juliet stood in front of the mirror, her eyes misting over."I'm not gonna cry. I'm not gonna cry. It's my big day and I'm supposed to be happy", Juliet repeated those words like a mantra." You can cry all you want, love. They are happy tears and besides, your mascara is waterproof", Meghan told her." What about the rest of the makeup? Leo's mom brought her own makeup artist all the way here to do it", Juliet asked, worried." Alright, fine. You have a point. Don't cry. Let me do all the crying, okay?"" Do you know how much tears I want to cry? "" A thousand bucket full?"" Maybe two", Juliet wiped her eyes with a tissue before her tears could trickle down her face."Leo is going to be dumbstruck when he sees you. You make me want to be a bride
"You look absolutely stunning, Juliet. No one's gonna bite you or anything, calm down", Meghan tried to reassure her friend for the umpteenth time that evening.They were about to go for the rehearsal dinner and Juliet's nerves had been all over the place."I know, I know. I just can't help thinking I'm going to screw this up somehow", Juliet answered her." You're not going to screw up, Jules. You have planned this all down to the letter. You'll be okay, I'm sure. We don't want you looking all stressed now, do we?"" No, we don't. I'll be fine in a moment", Juliet said, smoothing invisible wrinkles on her gown.She was wearing a pale blue gown that seemed to shimmer in the evening sky.Teardrop midnight blue earrings shine from her ears and her hair fell down in tinted cascade of waves.She had finished the look off with a plain gold necklace and black heels.Me
"Earth to Jack, Jack to earth" brought Jack out of his reverie." Man, you have it really bad, don't you? ", Nathan said, shaking his head in pity." Have what?", Jake was confused " I don't have the flu""Oh, not the flu. You have the love bug and it's eating you up", Nathan corrected him, laughing.Jack had accepted the offer to hand out with the guys after he had spent the whole day, trying to create a single document that normally took him two hours tops."I do not have the love bug", he denied."It's in your eyes man, I can see it all too clearly. You're thinking about someone every time you stare into non-existent space", Nathan told him.It was true. He had been thinking about Meghan. What was she doing in Paris, who was she with, was she hanging with another guy, laughing their heads off?Although he would not admit it to Jake, he had to admit
This is a flash back to Jack and Anna's story."I made a promise that I wasn't going back there and I wouldn't have done it, Anna. But I owed it to Micheal.He did a lot for me when I had no place to turn to.I'm fucking sorry, I swear", Jack was pleading with Anna, the boxes they had packed on their king bed."I begged you for one simple thing. One simple thing, Jack. Did I ask you for anything else? I did not. I only begged you to stay away. Let me give you another way to heal.Another way to express yourself but... " Anna replied him, rage in her eyes, tears shinning.Jack felt his heart sink.Hurting her was something he had sworn that he would never do. She had helped him, slowly and patiently brought him out of the miserable place he was.Begged for only thing and he couldn't give her.But how was he going to explain to her that he owed Micheal part of him? Hal
Jack walked into his library and looked at the sofa for the third time that morning.Part of him, although he clearly knew that it was impossible, hoped that the second or third time he came in, he would see Meghan there.See her poring over the papers, reading with some much concentration, a smile forming on her face from time to time.He had caught glimpses of her, while she had been unaware.There were some days he had walked up to the door, his fist poised to knock but had settled for watching her through the slightly opened door.Meghan was something else, something he didn't understand. She was better than he deserved. She gave, her time and emotions to her friends.She approached life more freely than she did.How had she gone and fallen in love with someone like him.For him, she was like a burst of fresh air. Like salvation, healing if he wanted to be honest.He had allowed her to com
