Jason and I walk inside the room. Once my eyes set on Tracy, my heart aches for her. I don’t even care that she lied to my boyfriend about being pregnant. Her whole body is covered in bandages. I see Jason moving forward to wake her up, but I grab his hand to stop him. I shake my head, telling him no. Tracy might have done a horrible thing by deceiving him, but I don’t think right now is the best time to confront her. I don’t even want to imagine Jason’s wrath upon her when he starts questioning her. I pull him and walk back outside.
“Why did you stop me from waking her up?” Jason asks once we are outside Tracy’s room
“She barely survived the accident. I don’t think we should ask her until she is doing fine.”
“Why?”
“Her physical health is not great right now, and I know how you can be when you are angry. You might not lay a finger on her, but you can input enough fear to make h
“Oh my God, why aren’t you dressed yet?” Jason asks as he walks into the kitchen. He just came out of his study.“Asks the man who just stepped out of his study,” I say, cleaning my hands on the kitchen napkin. I am making dinner. Jason invited his grandmother over for dinner at his place. Tracy is going to be serving us. He is using this dinner to find out if his grandmother is genuinely the one behind it.“It does not take time for men to get ready.”“I am almost done here. Once I am through, I will get ready.”“This is why I didn’t want you to cook tonight. I could have just asked Jessica to work today,” Jason says, walking over to me by the stove.“Today is her grandson’s birthday. There is no need to make her miss such a special occasion when I know how to cook.”“I should have hired a private chef for tonight,” Jason says, wrapping his
I walk inside my office building with a smile on my face. These days I come to work with a smile on my face. It’s been a week or two since Tracy’s incident. Things have been great between Jason and me. His grandmother is laying low these days. She has not tried anything new to split us up. I know Jason does not believe it’s her, but I do. I can’t prove it that’s why I am not forcing Jason to agree to it. One day I will be able to prove it.I step out of the elevator and walk to my desk. I drop my purse on the table and walk to Jason’s office to hand him his coffee. I don’t make coffee for him at the office anymore. I get him coffee from the café close by. The one I mentioned makes one of the best coffees I have had. I knock on his office door and wait for him to say come in.“Good morning Eleanor,” Vivienne says, walking past me.“Morni….” I don’t get to finish speaking b
The following days go by in a blurb. I am preparing hard for Jason and I's trip to Bora Bora next weekend. We leave in a week. I can't wait for next week's weekend to get here. I am so happy I am going to Bora Bora next week. It's like a dream come true.I get cut off from my daydreaming when I hear Vivienne calling my name. I can't believe I got lost dreaming about the beautiful things we will get to do in Bora Bora."Sorry, did you say something?" I ask Vivienne."Yes, I did. I asked you if you are free to go to lunch together.""Why are you asking?""I want to talk to you. I thought it would be nice over lunch.""What would you like to talk about? I hope it's not about my Uncle because as I said last time. I am not helping you ask him for forgiveness.""I remember what you said. I want to speak to you about something else.""Oh, I usually eat lunch with Jason, but I am sure he won't mind if I don't join him today. What
I step inside the house, and the first thing I do is lie down on the couch. I am so tired I can't even wait to take off my work clothes before lying down. I just got back from work. It's a few days left before my trip with Jason."Hello dear," Uncle Jack says, walking into the living room"Hi,""You seem exhausted.""I am; work has been hectic this week""Why""Jason and I's trip is this weekend. We are trying to wrap up all his important businesses before we leave.""Oh, that's true." Uncle Jack says,"Yeah, how was work today?" I ask, sitting up."The same; nothing new happened.""Any plans for tonight," I ask, removing my heels."No," He says, staring at the TV. I don't know why but I feel a little guilty for why he does not have plans tonight."Uncle Jack," I say, to get his attention away from the TV"Yes, dear," He says, turning away from the TV to face me"Do you like Vivienne?"
The following day, I woke up early and left the house to go to the salon. I need to look perfect for tonight. This is my first time going to an event with Jason as his girlfriend. I wonder what his associates I met before we started dating would think when they hear we are dating. I know a lot of people are going to misjudge the reason I am with Jason, but I won’t let it bother me. I shake my head to drive away those negative thoughts. Jason knows my feelings for him are true, and that’s all that matters. What people think does not matter.I spend my morning getting my nails done and washing my hair. I will have it styled an hour or two before the event. Amber and I are walking to the food court at the mall where the salon is. We came to the salon together. We just finished.“Have you thought about if you are going to do it with Jason while you guys will be in Bora Bora?” Amber asks as we pass a Victoria secret store. The lingerie must have remi
“Christine,” Jason says, staring at the woman in front of him, looking shocked.“Hello, Jason. Long time no see.” She says, smiling, showing off her perfect pearl white teeth.I look at Jason and the woman in front of him; he just called the name of his ex-wife. Is she really the same Christine?“What are you doing here?” Jason asks, surprised to see her here.“I am staying in this hotel and heard you were holding your charity event tonight, so I thought I stop by.”“Oh, when did you come back to California?”“A few weeks ago.”“Are you back or just visiting?”Jason told me she moved away after their divorce. I wonder what made her come back after all these years.“Just visiting, but I might change my mind. Something or someone might give me a reason to stay,” She says, smiling.I quickly remove my eyes from her once sh
Jason slowly brings his lips to mine and seals them in a passionate kiss. He takes his time savaging my mouth before kissing down my jaw to my neck, leaving burning passion in his wake. He slides off my simple cotton dress and, as he is coming back to kiss me, I tug at his shirt so I can feel him bare. I rarely get to admire his beautiful abs—any time we make out Jason has me screaming his name before I can get his shirt off. Once his shirt is off, I take my time and admire his chest and torso. I use my hands to trace each and every muscle. They feel amazing under my fingers. My nipples harden imaging his warm chest against them. Jason lowers his body down on top of mine and continues kissing my body. He kisses the swells of my breasts as his hands work to remove my bra. Once it's off, he takes my right nipple in his mouth and sucks on it. I grind my hips against him as pleasure ripples through my body, intensifying the more he sucks on my nipple. He takes his time on my right breast
It’s been two weeks since Jason and I came back to LA. Things have been great between us. I have been happier than ever these past few weeks. I just wish things continue to go this way for us.“Eleanor, great, you are still here,” Jason says, walking to my desk. He just stepped out of his office.“Do you need something?” Vivienne and I are supposed to be on our way to lunch. I am not eating lunch today with Jason. Vivienne invited me to have lunch with her.“I need you to make a list of the five top architectural firms that are best for remodeling office spaces.”“Oh, okay. I will have it ready an hour after lunch or sooner.”“You can take your time,” He says, walking to the elevator. He is meeting up with Evan for lunch.“Jason,” I say, stopping him in his tracks“Yes,” He says, turning around to face me“If you don’t mind me
