Jackson.

A muffled sound of something humming woke me up, I blinked continuously until my eyes were able to adjust to the bright lights.

The humming sound stopped as soon as my eyes connected with the ceiling, I frowned looking around.

Where the hell am I?

I tried thinking of what happened last night but nothing my head was blank and…..

I stopped trying to think what happened when another door in the room opened and someone stepped out. Not someone but Laura, what the fuck was Laura doing here? In my house?

Wait, was this my house?

“Oh, you are awake. Good morning Jack.” She greeted me with a beautiful smile on her face.

Even without makeup, Laura looks pretty no wonder every single brand wants her as their ambassador.

“Laura, why are you here?” I asked while sitting up on the bed and noticed something awkward.

I looked down at my body and my frown deepened when I saw I was naked. Not just naked from upward as I normally do when I sleep at night but I was completely naked and I have no idea what had happened.

“What happened?” I asked Laura who had taken a seat at the vanity table, she was about to comb her hair when I asked and paused to look at me.

“You really do not remember?” She asked with a small smile.

I wouldn’t be asking if I did.

“No.”

“You picked me up from the airport last night, then passed out the time you were about to leave. I decided to let you use my room.”

“Where did you sleep?” I asked. And she looked at me like I had lost my mind.

Of course, I have.

I had no idea what was going on and then I woke up naked in my ex-girlfriend's room who I still like a bit.

“What’s the time?” I asked, holding the bedsheet to my body as I came down from the bed.

Dizziness hit me when I was up on my feet and I had to shake my head to make my sight clear again.

“Are you alright? You could stay more if you want, there is no rush.” She offered.

This is one reason why I like Laura, she’s too kind for her own good.

She may be rich but she isn’t a spoiled brat.

“I really have to leave now, thank you for your offer.” All I want is to leave this place as quickly as I can.

Seeing her brings back memories and feelings that I’m trying to bury.

“Are you coming to the party later on?” She asked and then giggled while shaking her head.

“Of course you will, since it’s being organized in your house.”

A party?

In my house?

Jesus, what the hell happened to me?

“Yea….h. Sure, I will be there.” I replied absentmindedly.

“That’s great, wear a dark blue suit. It will look good on you, Jack.” I nod before jumping into the shower.

I didn’t lock the door because I knew Laura wouldn’t do anything—do I really know her that well?

I do.

I was done with my bath and thankfully I was able to locate my clothes in the room, they were on the floor like a mess. Laura wasn’t in the room when I was done so I’d assumed she was gone.

But I was shocked when I saw her sitting on the couch in the living room looking all pretty and young.

Even after all these years, she hasn’t aged a bit.

“You done?” She was up on her feet before u got to her.

“Yeah, aren’t you leaving yet?” I asked while looking around for my car keys.

Where the fuck were they?

“Here, I was waiting for you.” I took the key from her.

“Why? Don’t you have somewhere to be?”

“I would rather be with you.” She said and I paused.

She was looking at me the same way she did years ago and I hate and love it at the same time. I want her to yearn for me as much as I do for her.

“Let’s go.” I cleared my throat, breaking the awkward silence, and walked out of the room.

Turns out we were in a hotel—her hotel to be precise, and after leaving the reception we were immediately attacked by flashings of cameras. Not one or two presses were outside but so many of them.

Shit!

We will be having a hard time leaving today.

****

Thankfully, we were able to leave without being hurdled by the press.

“That was something.” Laura laughed beside me and we both burst into laughter.

I get these kinds of moments a lot but this…this was more intense.

“So…. How's married life going for you?” She asked and my mood immediately went sour.

There are things I love talking about and things I do not love talking about and one of those things is about my marriage, my wife, and everything that came with it.

“Do you love her now or are you only married to her because of the collaboration between your families?”

Love?

I don’t think I love my wife.

She is nothing but a Wife to me, our marriage is nothing but a transactional one.

“Is she pregnant now? I bet you will be the happiest man on earth to hold your baby.” And yet the one thing I desired she couldn’t give it to me.

I have always wanted a child, girl or boy I don’t give a flying fuck.

“Would you mind me giving you one?” Her question got my attention.

“What?” I asked, staring at her like I didn’t hear her question the first time when I perfectly did.

“I’m back Jack, who do you think made me leave everything behind?” She asked as she moved closer.

I should pull back.

“I came back for you. Now, I want you to answer my question; will you let me carry your child—our child— since your wife is unable to give you that?” She asked again.

I was waiting for her to laugh it off but a second passed, a minute and two minutes and nothing happened. She’s serious about it.

Was this a fucking dream?

“Really?” She bobbed her head up and down with that same cute smile on her face.

God, now I can picture what our child would look like.

I have always loved Laura and I didn’t stop loving her even after getting married. I’ve always thought she despised me for getting married but she doesn’t.

“Yes, I will. That’s if you are willing?”

If I’m willing? Fuck, I’m ready to have a child with her.

“Good.”

“Come here, Laura.” I wrapped my hand around her waist and placed her on my lap.

“Thank you,” I whispered staring into her hazel eyes.

“For what?”

“For coming back, for doing this.”

“You should show me how appreciative you are with your actions Jack,” with a smile I leaned closer until my lips were on hers.

And right there I forgot all about the promise I made to my wife, I was in the arms of the woman I love and that’s all that fucking matters.
