The next morning, Jasper didn't have to wake me up. I was too nervous to get a full night's sleep.
I lay in bed for a while, staring out the window, thinking that this was just surreal.
Just a week ago I was worried about my future, and now I am able to make the future I wanted for myself.
I climbed out of bed feeling sore, because yesterday I foolishly went to the gym with Jasper.
Something I was not used to. I had never worked out a day in my life and I didn't know what told me to do so after we got here.
Now it felt as if my limbs were about to fall off.
I stood in spot for a while, afraid to move because of how heavy my legs felt.
"Good, you are up." Jasper said as he entered the bedroom.
I looked over at him, noticing that he was already dressed in a grey shirt that, in my opinion, was too tight and black pants.
"I should go get ready to not keep you waiting for too long."
"No, take your time. We don't need t
I somehow managed to survive my first day of work. I had plenty to do, because the previous manager never seemed to do crap. The only thing the folders on his desktop were filled with were pictures of naked girls and porn. I struggled to keep up with the workload, the names and unfamiliar faces. Not to mention Jasper checking in on me every half hour.''Knock, knock. First day celebration,'' Cooper cheered, entering my office with two cups of coffee in his hands. "Wow, I had to see it to believe it. This space is nice.''I groaned, holding my head in my hands.''Was it that bad?'' He asked, coming to sit cross leg on my desk.''There was so much virus in this system, I'm surprised TechPro hadn't taken a tumble a long time ago.''''I feel your pain. I thought four of us worked as the WordPress developers, well, three after what happened. But no, it's just me and there was so much to do...'' Cooper dragged on.''I just want to go home and slee
By lunchtime on Friday, Jasper walked into my office, saying he was taking me to lunch. Sadly, he only managed to eat his fries because one of his investors popped up unannounced.While finishing up the rest of my food, all I could see was a hand on the table and thinking that it was Jasper, I looked up at the person with a smile, but it immediately faded after seeing that it was Cameron.I held up a hand to get the waiter's attention, but he stopped me.''Jordan, wait.''"Oh, so you do know my name?''He lets out a sigh.''I know that I am the last person you want to see right now-''"You think?'' I said, about to get up.''Please just hear me out?''''Cameron, I don't care how rich and powerful you are, but just leave me alone. And I would think that after sending me that restraining order, you would have had me out of your mind.''"I'm sorry, but you can't re
The ride back to the penthouse was so fucking silent, I was still in shock and Jasper was gripping the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. The only sound that came was the pur of the car and our breathing.When we got in, neither of us addressed the elephant in the room. I guess we will just act as if he didn't drop that big boom.''Jordan,'' Jasper finally said.I turned to look at him, and he closed the distance between us.''I don't want to lose you, Jordan.''He kissed me so tenderly after, leaving me to wonder if this is what love is for a person. I had never experienced that before and truly I don't know what my feelings towards Jasper is."I'm sorry Jasper,'' I told him.''No, I'm sorry. I came off too strong, not at all considering your feelings.''Those words still hadn't reassured me, now leaving me to think about what it would have been like if I gave Cameron a chance. Despite him coming off as a pr
''What? Am I not allowed here? Because it is a party and as far as I can see, I am making a statement. Just look at them stare.''''Yes Jenna, but all for the wrong reasons.''Jenna scoffed, ''if you are jealous just say that.''''Of what? You dressing like a skank and being here with Cameron.''She smiled, ''Aww, you are jealous. I told you Jordan, if I wanted to fuck a rich man, I could and here I am, living the life.''''You don't even know the man you are with. He is the most hated person at this party.''''By who? You? Because you couldn't get him. He told me everything Jordan. You stole from him, keep harassing him, and even tried to break his company.''I gave a laugh, ''and you believe that? Come on, you know what he did.''''From what you have done in the past, yes. And he did nothing.''I grabbed her arm. ’’You should leave Jenna. You don't know what you are getting into with this man and remember he was the reason mom died.''Jenna flashed my hand off. ’’He told me the trut
"I'm sorry about that. I did not know Cameron would have shown up with your sister, Jasper apologised.''There is no need for you to feel sorry. Cameron knew exactly why he brought my Jenna along, and she knew exactly why she came.''''I still can't help but think that this is all my fault. He wants you and I am in possession of the one thing he can't have. I have never seen Cameron so wounded.''''Well, he can't have me. Again, it's not your fault because I'm sure that any man I'm with he would still come roaring his head like the spoiled brat he is. Besides, I'm with you, who is a much better human being than Cameron Cater will ever be, and after hearing all the lies he told my sister. I wouldn't want to be within two feet of that man.''''What did your sister say?''''Cameron told her I'm obsessed with him. Not only that, but I took out insurance on mom and told his uncle, the director I spoke with, to kill her so I can collect the money.''It was a good thing Jasper wasn't the one
I guess it was safe to say that after a month; I had put everything behind me. No longer did I have to worry about Dante, and no longer was Cameron on my mind. I truly didn't care what he or my sister were doing. I was happy for the first time in so long. Life at work and home were great. I didn't have to worry about much, just to make sure Jasper's company didn't fail.Jasper and I were going strong, and today Cooper and I were finally moving furniture into our apartment.''Is Jasper going to join us?'' Cooper asked.''He will, as soon as he gets back from his parents' place.''''Why are you even moving in Jordan? You basically live with the guy.''''I'm not moving in, just making sure I have a place to stay just in case,'' I said.''In case of what? That man loves you. I'm pretty sure more than how he loves himself.''''Cooper, you see how fast things can change.''''True, but I don't think anything will change with the both of you. Unless it's marriage.''I rolled my eyes as I str
I woke to my body tangled with Jasper's, who was already awake and sitting up in the bed, while he traced circles on my upper arm that was thrown across his stomach. I opened my eyes to the soft morning sun rays that peeked through the brown curtains that I don't like very much.I gazed up at his beautiful face. His expression was soft, showing that he was not worried about anything and he didn't have to. He basically had the world at his fingertip."Good morning.'' I break the silence.''Finally she is awake.''I smiled up at him. "If you missed me that much, all you had to do was dream of me.''''That wouldn’t work because I would still miss you.''After leaning down to my level, he gently kissed my lips. I held onto his face so I could deepen it.The kiss was passionate, leaving both of us breathless when we pulled apart."I know you don't want to hear this, but I don't want you to leave me." he looked deep into my eyes as the words left his lips. His face was so serious."I wasn't
I didn't know how it happened, but all I know was that I jolted from my sleep. My head was fuzzy with little memory of what happened after meeting up with Cameron. All I could remember was going to lunch with him, then having a few rounds at the bar. Before that, I remembered Jenna letting us know how she was scared to leave him because of the threats he made to hurt her, and that's what got me to make up my mind to ruin Cameron Carter more than how he had done to me.That decision was what led to the situation I was in now, with Cameron wrapped around me like a vine as he talked in his sleep. I looked at the face I now came to hate, knowing that he must have slipped me something, because there was no way I would end up in his bed again so fast.He wasn't even good at sex with his small dick, but I guess his ego made up for his shortcoming.I pushed his arms off me, then stood up. As I did, I stumbled, causing me to knock over a few things. But even with that, he was still in a deep s
