Jade Smith's Point of View:

I'm not really the type of woman that loves to go clubbing. As a matter of fact, I can count how many times I've been to a club while I'm sure many of the women that I'm seeing right now have been to clubs so often that they've lost count. The smell of alcohol hit me as I took a deep breath. Most everyone looks drunk already, I knew Fridays were a big club day but damn.

Gosh, the club hasn't even been open for an hour yet!

I really don't want to be here so I'm just going to follow Christy's lead for now. Glancing at Christy I noticed that she had her eyes fixed over to a booth in the corner. From this distance, it seemed vacant and quite clean, much to my relief. It seemed as if that's where she wanted to go and I was thankful for it.

"Let's go over to that booth," Christy suggested pointing to the said booth. Thank you, Lord, for being on my side today. I was hoping she'd say that.

"Oh yeah sure," I followed behind her, all the way trying to avoid the sticky bodies of the persons dancing together. They weren't paying any attention to me as they ground against each other. I swear I could smell how terrible one of the men's scents was yet the woman was still dancing with him. Has he never heard of using deodorant?

As soon as we were at the booth I put my purse on top of the table. This booth seemed to be more technical than the others as there was a little place where we could leave our bags which was definitely a bonus. We could leave our bags there when we went dancing but that would only work if there was someone to stay here too.

Taking Christy's bag from her hands I stashed it in the compartment when no one was looking our way. Why would they anyway... they were probably halfway to being drunk out of their mind. I inspected the compartment and saw that there was actually a key inside when I looked at the compartment again I noticed that there was actually a part where we could use the key to lock it. That was such a great idea and I had to give props to the designer of the club because this was a brilliant idea. Now I could safely leave our purses inside of it. What a win.

"Let's party," I said to Christy leading her to the bar. I was ready for a drink. I couldn't go all out but I could at least have one drink.

"That's my girl," she replied stepping in front of me and speed walking to the bar like a woman on a mission. I don't even know how she walks that fast in those heels. It took me a while to get used to them. Then again she might just be excited to get wasted.

I swear that she loves to drink.

Knowing full well that I would have to be the one to drive the both of us home I didn't bother to order any hardcore liquor. My go-to was vodka on the rocks but I'd just have to settle for something light right now.

"Can I have a glass of red wine and a tequila?" I asked the bartender.

"Sure thing hot stuff," he winked at me, turning around to make the drinks. He was actually kind of cute.

I turned to the side to find Christy already looking around at the persons in the club as if looking for someone. I wonder what she's up to now. If she thought she was going to drag me out and ditch me she had another thing coming.

"Here's your order"

Taking the drinks I handed the tequila to Christy while sipping at the wine. I handed the bartender twenty dollars to cover both drinks.

"Care to dance?" I turned around just in time to find a hot blonde asking Christy to dance. It didn't look like she was going to agree so I answered for her. She needed to get over her jerk face anyways.

"She'd love to," I piped in, taking her empty shot glass from her and shoving her towards him. I've never played cupid before but the look on her face was totally worth it.

She just looked at me like I suddenly grew a second head. Before she could say anything or threaten to kill me, the guy was pulling her to the dance floor. I waved at her with a smirk on my face. I can't have a strong drink so this will have to be my entertainment.

"You'll pay for this," she mouthed glaring at me.

I simply raised my glass in response and took a generous sip. Maneuvering my way through the crowd of people I made my way back over to the booth. One of the dancers almost spilled my drink and I could feel my temper rise. I'm sure they wouldn't like it if they got a taste of my Jamaican fury. I was getting so irate. I just rolled my eyes took a deep breath and kept on walking.

"What the hell?" I whispered to myself when I got closer and saw that there were two men in the booth. What the hell were they doing in our seat? I should probably wait for Christy to get back so I had some help to get rid of them but I wanted to sit and I refused to wait any longer.

I planned on getting rid of them myself but I was at a loss for words when I saw the face of the mysterious stranger from the restaurant. He wore a black-on-black outfit which really looked good on him. He was definitely looking like a snack, a very yummy snack at that. Scratch that he was looking like a whole meal.

"It's you," I breathed feeling trapped. I didn't think I would ever see him again especially today of all days. Why did we have to go to the same club?

Oh crap!

    Jade Smith's Point of View:Yup, I'm definitely gonna chicken out of this. What the hell am I going to do now? I can't chase him out. He made me feel things that I've never felt before and it's damn scary as hell. I turned away to leave trying to tiptoe my way through the crowd. Luck just wasn't on my side when I felt a tug on my arm."Hi," he said his husky voice bringing goosebumps on my skin. He must be a Greek God with how easily he affected me.I turned to face him careful not to look into his captivating eyes, "h-hey""Is this your seat?" he asked nodding his head to the booth."Yeah it is," I rushed out "but you can have it"Now, why did I say that? Of course, I wanted the damn seat our bags were still in there but no I just had to turn into a blubbering mess. If Christy saw me now she would be convinced that I lost it hell even I thought I lost it. I was convinced that he would listen to me but he did quite the opposite. I didn't know if I was happy or sad but I didn't exactly

You can't be thinking like this. He's your boss for crying out loud. But he's so damn good-looking. Shit, I shouldn't even be going there.How the hell did I let that happen?

    Jade Smith's Point of View:'I'm so fancy but you already know, I'm in the fast lane from LA to Tokyo....'I jumped out of bed slapping a hand on my alarm. I ran a hand through my messy hair and sighed in content. Last night was one of the best nights of my life. Nathan and I danced for a while until it started getting a little too heated for us to handle. We exchanged numbers and Christy and I left after that. Christy and Joseph hit it off pretty well too from what I could see. She was smiling from ear to ear when we left.Speaking of Christy, where the hell is she? She normally barges into my room on a Saturday morning. She's probably still asleep, shrugging I got up and made my bed. When living with my parents I had to make my bed ev

I quickly grabbed the bat and set it up against the wall so as not to draw any attention to it. When Christy told me that she didn't invite anyone over I thought that it was my past that came knocking on the door but thankfully it was just Nathan and Joseph. I could only stare at their retreating forms, as they walked further into the room."You didn't tell me that they w

If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have realized that I didn't know where we were going. Nathan really had that dazzling effect on me."Yeah, where are we going?" I asked turning to face Nathan so that he could answer me.Nathan grinned as he took my bag from my hands "we're going to the beach duh"Rolling my eyes I tried taking my bag back from him but he wouldn't have it, mumbling about how I should let him be a gentleman. He pulled the straps of the bag on his back and turned away from me.

    Jade Smith's Point of View:I can swim. I mean, of course, I can swim I'm a yardie through and through but I still didn't want to be dunked into the water. I would have to deal with my hair sooner than I had planned and I was not looking forward to it. Luckily I wasn't one of the women who wore makeup to the beach so I didn't have to worry about that. So as soon as I realized what he was up to I had a plan. I had to get revenge somehow.He doesn't know I can swim since we literally just met so this will be so easy. I was going to pretend that I couldn't swim and see what he does. It serves him right for even thinking of this. Who does this on a first date?As soon as he threw me in the water I made sure to throw my hands wildly as if I was tryin

Even though it was a double date we were by ourselves most of the time enjoying each other's company.I was in the water yet again when I heard an ice cream truck pull up to the beach. I was ecstatic. I loved ice cream and I was getting a little hot from the sun so the timing was perfect. I made my way out of the water and walked over to the guys but only Christy was there."Did you guys hear the ice cream truck?"Chrissy nodded as she leaned forward, "we were waiting for you to get your ass out of the water to buy some"I chuckled softly

    Nathan Masters' Point of View:She was stunning, absolutely breathtaking.When I walked into my restaurant that day I expected it to go how it normally does. I would sit and silently observe what was going on in my business and my employees would shy away and keep a distance as if they were scared of me. What was I going to do, fire them for speaking?But there she was looking all adorable as she sat on the chair. I could feel her watching me and whenever I looked in her direction she would look away. Finally, she built up the courage to walk over to me."G-good morning," she stuttered and then cursed under her breath but I heard her I guess she wasn't happy about stuttering in front of me.

As long as I kept my baby safe I'd ask for permission a million times over. We had landed at the airport and exited the plane.I was waiting on Nate who insisted that he'd carry our luggage. Luckily for him, I didn't bring a lot of clothes with me in the first place so he didn't have much to carry."Are you excited about the wedding?" Christy asked me. I had already forgiven them about the whole moving-in fiasco but I haven't given Nate an answer yet. I was going to say yes but I'd just let him stew for now."I'm really excited," I clapped "I can't believe I forgot but with all that's happening I'm not surprised"She chuckled, "your memory has always been shit"I rolled my eyes and played with a strand of my hair. It was around seven in the evening and I was starving. I was craving pizza at the moment and I cou

    Nate Masters' Point of View:I felt terrible about overwhelming Jade. She's been ignoring us for the entire plane ride and I couldn't stand it. At one point I was going to try to speak to her but Christy advised against it. She had her headphones in and her eyes were closed."It is best to just let her be for now," Christy spoke sadly "we don't want to upset her anymore"I sighed, "I feel bad for assuming her answer and getting her mad""It's my fault as well," she leaned back in her seat "I pushed her""You did"She stared at me but didn't comment on my statement because we both knew that I was right."Do you think she'd really change her mind?" I asked quietly.She took a deep breath, "Look Nate she loves you she might be mad right now but I promise it'll be okay"My lips lifted slightly at her words, "thanks Christy""By the way did you know a cousin of hers is getting married?""Yeah of course Jade told me a while ago but ever since she got pregnant it's like she's having memory l

    Jade Smith's Point of View:I looked through the window of the jet and took a deep breath. My mom told me that the wedding was in a month and that it would of course be in my home country, Jamaica.I was debating whether or not I should actually attend because of all the drama that's been going on with Brian and I would also like to see my gynecologist before making those kinds of decisions. There were two beds on this jet and Christy and Joseph were currently occupying one of them, leaving Nate and me in our seats.I turned to face Nate who was busy working on his laptop. I angled my body back to the window and let out a soft sigh."Is there something wrong my love?"I looked at him, "there's nothing wrong babe""You've had this despairing look on your face ever since I came back from the cockpit""No, I haven't"He gave me a pointed look, "yes you have"I huffed, "fine...I have"He shut down his laptop, "okay you have my full attention...tell me what's bothering you""Nothings bothe

    Jade Smith's Point of View:"Joseph, Christy we got to go"I listened as Nate yelled for them to come down so we could leave. I was currently holding Bonnie as I stared down at her. She wasn't at all bothered by the noise Nate was making which was a blessing in itself.Holding her made it even more real for me that I was going to be a mom soon. I had a baby growing in my stomach and he/she would be born soon. They will call me mom and Nate dad. As I looked at Bonnie I suddenly wished that the baby was a girl but of course I would be over the moon if it was a boy. Honestly, as long as it was healthy then I will be happy."Nate?"He walked over to me and gazed down at a now sleeping Bonnie, "do you think our baby is a girl?"He responded immediately, "I have no idea love""Would you prefer to have a girl or a boy?" I asked him as I was not satisfied with his previous answer.He looked deep in thought before he finally answered me, "I will be happy as long as it's healthy but I would wan

I willingly open my lips for him allowing his tongue to play with my own.I trailed my hands over his shoulders and down his broad chest to rest against his stomach. My fingers gripped the edge of his shirt and I pulled away from the kiss to pull it off of him. As soon as his gorgeous body was in sight I couldn't help but stare. He was all corded muscles and his six-pack was to die for. And to know that he was all mine gave me a rush like no other.My gaze went down to his happy trail and a naughty thought came to mine. I looked up at him again to find him already watching me."Can I try something?"He looked confused but nodded, "yeah of course""Okay I'll be right back," I kissed him sensually

Joseph offered Cole and Ana to stay here with the baby which they eagerly accepted. I wouldn't have let them decline the offer anyway. My motherly instincts have been running on overdrive as I felt the need to constantly be by Bonnie's side.I looked over at Christy whose grin rivaled my own, "she's a beauty alright"I sighed when Ana entered the room, "it's time for her feeding"I pouted, "fine, I'll see you later Bon Bon""Seriously Vampire diaries?""It's not my fault Damon is so hot""Who's hot?" Belle asked with a teasing look as she, Liam, Joseph, and Nate entered the room."Yeah please tell us all," Nate snickered.I rolled my eyes, "for your information I was talking about Damon from Vampire diaries""Oh I have to agree with her there," Belle smirked, "have you seen those eyes and that body..."Her words trailed off as Liam glared at her, "oh
