Another day another motel.We have one more day until the deadline Edwin gave us to deliver his money. We were going to do the exchange in Detroit, so we still had a few more hours to drive down there. Just like the previous day, we had drove through the whole night and only stopped at a motel for a few hours to rest and stretch our legs. We had also showered and changed and grabbed some breakfast,but that was over eight hours ago and right now, between the both of us am sure we would consume a whole cow, that's just how starved we were."I am so embarrassed to admit this, but am so sick of McDonald's." Michael groaned as we pulled off the freeway towards the service station. It appeared not only were we low on food amd moral, but also gas."Me too," i huffed from the passenger's seat. "I don't think i could ever eat another chicken nugget meal in my life. Not even if someone paif me.""Not even for three million dollars?" He chuckled but i failed to find any humor in the situation.
"I need to talk, i have Jordan issues." i say walking into Chloe's room, she still in bed. Ever since we moved here to the Hamptons, i feel like i haven't seen her, i barely see her she is so secretive and is always disappearing on me"And boundary issues," she says taking her bonmet off, "ladies knock first, and besides the only Jordan issue you should be having is about hospital choices for where you are going to have his babies. So if you don't mind i would like to go back to sleep." Chloe says as i walk towards her bed and sit right next to her." All i can think of is how much i want to spend some time with him, you know since yesterday i feel like a lot has changed between us, he gave me some insight and it made me change perspective on alot of things. But he is all the way back in New York and i can't bring myself to even call him just incase i misread the situation."Chloe moves a little patting her duvet covers. " I don't know what to do Chloe, i need a distraction from thin
"It may be difficult, but it's the online way." Chloe says handshaking Terry's hand as binding of their agreement.Chloe gets off the bed and is getting ready to enter the shower, "Are you still going to Newyork?" she asks as she enters the bathroom."Yes, Jordan has been blowing up my phone, i should actually give him a call back, tell him am on my way.""Does he know your whereabouts exactly?" Chloe asks from the shower almost shouting."No he doesn't, and i would prefer it to remain that way."Jeremy takes out his phone and dials Jordan's number, he picks up on the second ring. Jeremy signals Chloe not to talk and informs her its Jordan on the phone. She closes the bathroom door to concentrate on her shower. "Yoooh, where have you been?" Jordan asks as soon as he picks up the phone. "I haven't seen you since yesterday back at the house in the Hamptons and you have not been picking up my calls.""The Newyork marathon is this weekend, those women ran twenty six miles in under three
Leila"Why do you think Edwin is following us? I thought he said we should meet him, does he not trust us to show up? I just don't get it." i say to Michael who has been offly quiet for the past two hours.We are almost there, the place where we were supposed to meet Edwin and his men. We have all his three million dollars in the bag with us. I just have a really nagging period about all of this."Maybe, they are not following us, they are also on their way to the said location," Michael says quetly. He looks at me for a moment and then says, "Maybe we should split up, just incase anything happens." "I don't think thats a good idea Michael ," i told him for the fourth time since he tried to suggest that. "If we split up, we are going to make ourselves more vulnerable, it would be easier for them to get to us, let's just stick to the plan. Drop the money and be on our way.""And if we stay together and they are planning other things we might not get out of it alive," he pauses for a m
Chloe. "Hey baby girl," Ella called out when I shuffled into the living room. Dressed in nothing but a loose pair of old sweats, she was stretched out on thee couch with her feet crossed and propped on the coffee table. She looked beautifully disholved in her own skin, she was becoming a little bit chubbier, but she liked adorable with her hair in a bun."How did you sleep?"I gave her a thumbs up and headed into the kitchen for coffee. I paused by the breakfast bar, my brow lifting at the massive arrangement of red roses on the counter. The fragrance was divine and i inhaled it with a deep breath."What's this?" i asked Ella who was looking up at me mischievously. "They came for you about an hour ago. A sunday delivery, pretty and super pricey." she said.I plucked the card off the clear plastic stake and opened it.I am still thinking about you.Jeremy ."From Jeremy ?" Ella asked."Yes." My thumb brushed over what i assume was his handwriting. It was bold and masculine and sexy.
Michael . With the two bags of cash in hand, i was on my way to meet Edwin. I snorted at the thought, but continued walking done the sidewalk, nonetheless.It wasn't like i would be able to back off now, especially not with my solo mission. I had two million and a shortage of one million. I was hoping this will hold him off for a couple of more days so that we could come up with the remaining balance.I couldn't risk coming with Leila, especially considering how scared she was. So i kind of drugged her with sleeping pills in her glass of water. I needed to go on this mission alone and i couldn't afford to be distracted. And the fact that we were one million short was disturbing enough. I hope she will understand things from my side of the story when she wakes up."Michael ," one of Edwin's men scoffed. He wasn't among the two men that had paid us a visit bacl in the house. He must be a new recruit."I would say it's nice to see you all, but i know how much you hate liars." i say addr
Jordan . "I feel like i haven't been seeing you at all." Maria says as she stretches her hands down my back and chest from behind me. I am having my morning breakfast before i head out."I have been a little extra busy this past couple of days, but i promise i will try and make time for you." i say trying to concentrate on my breakfast, "Tonight, we will have dinner, watch a movie and if you are lucky i might give you some of this." i say tickling her as i bring her to sit on my laps. "But right now babe," i say caressing her face as i tuck some hair behind her ears. "i need to finish eating my breakfast i have a meeting at exactly ten that i can't miss." "Oooh its okay, don't let me make you late." She says getting off my laps quickly, "i just miss you, i miss us.""Am sorry, but i promise i will make it up to you." i say pulling her hand when she tries to walk away. "I miss us too, it's just that it has been a rough couple of weeks and am still trying to get a hang of things.""I t
Ella. He looks at the book and opens the first page, i know it's signed Alex. He then lifts up the note i was writing, he looks at it for a moment before looking up at me. I don't recognize his expression. He just looked at me for a while shaking his head and then throws them on the bed next to me and walks out. I quickly get up and follow him quickly down the stairs.Am still confused as to why he is here, i also have no clue why he just kissed me or why he was acting the way he was acting. Was he jealous? Could that mean he still has feelings for me? All this was really not making sense to me. I am just wearing a short silk Alexi dress, and considering my pregnancy was showing now, it made the dress even shorter. I rushed out of my bedroom in a hurry following Jordan down strairs i did not even grab a robe on my way out."Hey Jordan, please wait up," I called at him as i tried to take the stairs down. I couldn't really hurry incase something happened and considering my state. Jorda
