Jason’s POVI was bothered, her nightmares were the craziest part of her. Emma has had them ever since she was a teenager and when I met her, she always looked over stressed. The first time I had visited her dorm in college was after a party and she had left early. Anna was hooking up with some guy and she gave me the keys to their apartment so I could ‘return her jacket’.She had been fast asleep but not peacefully.I heard her screams and shouts immediately as I walked into the apartment. I first thought she was being attacked but I had gone in to find Emma soaked in her own sweat, shivering and crying hotly on the bed. I comforted her and eventually slept with her head on my chest. She told me it was the most peaceful night she had ever had in the six years since it started. I made it a point to not miss a night with her after that. It was on hold for most of our dating years, I didn’t consider that it would return. Not at all. “Yeah. Sadly, it took her a full year and hyper fixa
Jason’s POV“What?” I said into the phone as I unlatched it from the wall and held it to my ear. I knew only one person who would call at night without any reason. Maybe reasons were attached but regardless, for the silliest and enraging reasons.“That’s a way to say thank you to your Secretary that helped you choose the perfect flowers for your girl?“ She teased and I rolled my eyes.“You didn’t help me choose the flowers, I know sunflowers are her favorites so I sent you to help me purchase them and deliver them to her place,” I corrected and she scoffed, when it was a little sane, I asked. “Did you wait around to see her reaction? Was she excited or just indifferent?” Sabrina was quiet. “I won’t tell you that, sir. I believe there may be love in there somewhere but this is an unhealthy obsession and I won’t fuel it. Allow the young lady to catch her breath, you’re smoldering her.”I didn’t understand what she was saying, maybe she was doing that because Emma had looked angry. “Oh,
Emma’s POVWe got to Plethora INC at 10:45 on the dot. It was an unexpected gig and as I stared at the high rise building I decided I would have to thank Jason later for this gig. He was being very helpful and the gig kept on coming in, some I had to layover and others I took head on.This was an elite dinner and I already had the details and props and was going to be adding to the venue.“We have been visiting the prettiest of places the past month. I love it Emma!” Irene said as she pulled the trolley of things to where I stood.“It is surprising to me too, honey. Get it in there, the lighting people would soon come,” I instructed her and she walked off. I drew out my phone before I forgot and texted Anna first.‘I am calling him now ;)’ I searched for his name and when it popped up, I hesitated before dialing it.I knew he had been the one that sent the flowers the other day and I had not even thanked him for that yet. I may not want any more things from him when it came to feeli
Jason’s POVI was grumpy, my head hurt, my mouth was sore and it felt like I would drop dead in the next minute. But I had to show up for the Rogers party. It was a tech summit and I was a member of the board in plethora INC. I hadn’t even known I was until my third meeting with Rogers last year and Sabrina had told me the fifth reason why I had to show up. In her words, ‘I doubt you know how much wealth you have amassed’. I hoped she knew I didn’t, I just wanted to code and exist, maybe make major mistakes sometimes. I was thinking of the brief conversation with Emma that I had earlier, the one that involved me being a total jerk. The one where I wanted to believe it was just because of the senator’s unexpected entrance in my life, the one I knew was actually because of my tired state, the pain of waking up to someone that wasn’t her, I wanted her back. Fast too.“The car is ready sir!” The butler said from outside my door and I grumbled, of course the car was ready. I was the one
Emma’s POVI had noticed his glance on me all through the night, it was hard not to notice those boring blue eyes. I had been bored to death by the man Lorelai had introduced me to, but wasn’t that what I was searching for? A safe man, far different from the one standing in front of me.“What do I want? I cannot say hello to you?” He asked me and I rolled my eyes. “This is a way to say hello, taking me away from my escort. Isn’t the pretty event planner here, the other one that I was accused of being jealous of. Rachel?” I snapped and he looked at me like I had gone mad. Maybe I had, but I was definitely out of line, I wanted to play the irritated mysterious event planner today but he had sucked out the rage in me.“Escort? You came alone, I watched Lorelai introduce you to him! And what does Rachel have to do with this? I haven’t seen her today,” he paused and looked at me, his eyes glinting mischievously in the dark night. “Unless you’re jealous.”I gasped, and then moved away from
Jason’s POVShe smelt like bubblegum, I couldn’t explain it or how that thought settled in my head but she did and I tried not to smuggle close to her, it would be very weird. I watched her from the side and she was pretty content being mute. She wasn’t saying anything and I didn’t want to probe words out of her so I remembered the files Sabrina had sent for me to go through. I brought out my phone and went there, the words weren’t working out well for my eyes so I immediately slipped out my glasses. I put them on and before I knew it, I was lost in tech language and contract terms.I had forgotten all about the parcel I received few days ago and I had seen the distraction I needed to not gawk at Emma. Her smell was intrusive but I allowed it exist as a residing fragrance.“You look so odd with them,” she finally said. The way my head shot up would probably be referred to as a little to obvious but I didn’t care.“What?” I asked her, narrowing my eyes.“The glasses, you look so…. Har
Emma’s POV“Well open it! Who is it from?” She squealed in excitement, brightening up in a most suspicious manner. “What?”“Was he in here last night?” I asked, playing with the box, it was a velvet based box, big enough to contain a set of keys. “Yeah, he carried you from the car. I promised you he was behaving himself. Did he send the box?” “If he was here, it means he didn’t send the box. He set the box,” I responded, he hadn’t changed so much and that was bad for me because even though I lied that I was a different person, it seem like I was fated to fall in love with a Jason Micheal type in every lifetime.“Well open it! Don’t tell me you plan to play the righteous ex and return it?” She said with horror showing it’s face in her expression.I shook my head. “I don’t want a present from Jason.” At least not one that was so strategically placed and given, it would mean too much intention, it would mean a Jason comeback. I didn’t want that for my life or career.“Just open this,
Jason’s POV“You are asking me that? I should be asking you!” She snapped and my eyes went to the box that lay open on the ground. It had not hit me with much force, just enough to my surprise me and irritate me too. What was with the violence?I bent and picked it up, of course it was the locket I had placed by her window. I knew just like me, her habit of checking her window whenever she woke up would still remain and that was why I had placed it there. I expected her to see it and get upset a little, but smile when she read the message but maybe she had indeed changed. Because her tossing it at me wasn’t in my bingo card. “I’m beginning to think you need to see the anger management people. I think this means I can’t give you presents?” I asked her and she shook her head. I was concerned for her.She even looked more amusing, she was dressed in a pink floral dress. She had really chosen a pink dress to start a fight with me? What was that, manipulation or what?“You won’t tell me
Jason’s POV“Jean, let’s catch up after my speech,” I said and left. I went up to the podium feeling a bit nervous, I didn’t know why this feeling was here but I needed Emerson now.My eyes searched around the room and I found her among the crowd. Sitting majestically, she winked at me and smiled.Immediately, I felt whole and the little nervous feeling vanished with a twinkle of an eye, I took a long deep breath and started.“Good day everyone,”“I’m excited to be here today at this incredible tech event, where innovation meets creativity. As we gather to explore the latest advancements in technology, it's essential to recognize how these developments shape our world and our future.”“Technology has transformed the way we communicate, work, and live. From artificial intelligence to blockchain, the potential for growth and improvement is limitless. It’s not just about the gadgets and software; it’s about the impact these technologies have on our daily lives and the opportunities they
Emma’s POV“I started planning this event two weeks ago, ensuring every details were just right, from the seating positions to the catering. I wanted everything to reflect the vibe in the contract I signed.”I took a deep breath, glancing around the venue which was filled with vibrant colors and the hum of conversation. “I remember when I envisioned this event,” I said to Jason and continued with a mix of pride and reflection in my voice. “I wanted to create an atmosphere that felt welcoming yet sophisticated. I spent hours researching the themes and when I finally settled for this one, it all checked into place.” I said as looked at Jason who was letting out an heartwarming smile.I smiled back and recalled the late night hours spent coordinating with different vendors. “The caterers were a bit of a challenge to me but I got the menu just right, all to make your event one of a kind.” I said and squeezed my hands together.“You really did a good job here, I really love it,” Jason said
Emma’s POVFinally, it’s the day of Jason's event. I had made all necessary preparations for the event, I had also gone there to inspect everything and made sure they were in the right order.I felt a mix of excitement and nerves as I reflected on the preparation of the event. In my point of view, I had myself thinking, I had poured my whole heart and soul into every detail of the event. From the initial planning stage to the last-minutes adjustment, I had just wanted everything to be perfect.The venue layout I had gotten from Sabrina, the decorations, and the entertainment, I had made sure every element came together seamlessly. Seeing it all come to life today, makes all my hard work worth it .I was already back home, now trying to get ready for the event, Anna also was here with me, we are both deliberating on which outfit would be perfect for the event.“This red gown is fine, Emma,” Anna stated for the umpteenth time, I really don’t understand why she likes the dress, it had
Jason’s POV“I LOVE YOU, EMERSON” I said and I had hoped she would hear before I rested down my full body weight on her, then rolled down as sleep took me into a deep slumber.After making love with her for so long, she still gets me hard anytime and anywhere.I was so satisfied, and I felt like the happiest man with Emerson.I woke up later in the night and carried her to the room I had booked for us. I watched her sleep peacefully like a baby, oh my God! She looked so beautiful without her clothes on.“Jasonnnn..” I heard her call my name but I was too tired to answer “Get up I’ll be late for work,” I heard her sweet voice again.This time I can’t say if I was angry or just disappointed that I couldn’t have her all to myself.“Can’t you stay off work today?” I snapped at her in the most polite way I could be.“You have an event coming up in two days, and you expect me to skip work, Jason?” I had totally forgotten my event was fast approaching, I’ve been so blinded with bliss and p
Jason’s POVWe got there and I covered her face to make it a proper surprise. “Jason, you’re making me curious, can you get this thing off my face, please?” I heard her say after standing there for a while, I wanted everything to be perfect.“Just a minute, Emma, don’t be eager. We have the night to ourselves, just me and you, my Queen,” I said before going to rip the cloth off her face. I watched her amused look, one thing about Emerson, she never hides her expressions.“Ohhh wow! Jason, you did all these?” She asked as she walked towards the ocean to get a better view. I finally got convinced I had done a good job here. “It’s all for you, Emma,” I said and went to get the bikini I had gotten for her. “Do you swim?” I asked her, raising the bikini up.“Ohh wow! you also got me a bikini? this is really a big surprise.”“Yes Emerson, I want to make it up to you, for all the year I left you to live alone just because I was scared of commitment, I was really selfish but now I promise
Jason’s POVI chuckled but deep down I was pinched that she didn’t trust me. Emma laughed next to me. “I knew that was why you were grumpy!” “Yes ma’am, I would. Bye ladies,” I responded as I closed the door and went over to the other side. I knew both her employee Irene and Anna were there, I had heard them whisper before the door opened, at least now I knew she had people that loved her deeply when I wasn’t there.“Hi,” I said as I settled next to her in the Lexus. She turned to face me, her heart shaped face carrying her full lips with so much expertise. “I want to kiss you,” “What’s stopping you?” She asked me and I smiled, an intentional and tummy fluttering smile. I loved her so much. I settled a light kiss on her full lips since she had given me something like a go ahead, showing she wants it as much as I wanted it, before heading for our destination. I had made lots of plans for this dinner night. I wanted it to be a remarkable one for her. I did feel sad about those night
Emma’s POVIt was our date night! I was excited and I felt like doing a triple flip. Irene and Anna were seated on my bed as I ranted about my dress, I was thinking of changing it for the millionth time.I snuck out of work earlier to buy four dresses. A green one, a red one, a black one and a silver sequined one and of course, my friends had all agreed the red one was perfect but I was really in love with the black, so after putting the red on, I was reconsidering the black again.“Emma, we know you want the black. Just put it on,” Irene said and I immediately did that, the black dress was a very unique style. Immediately I saw it, I knew I loved it. It was a long dress with a deep neckline that showed a lot of my cleavage, a low opened back and fitted all around the bodice. It was plain black and I had plans of pairing it with silver jewelry, I knew Jason would like it, he liked classy things.“I can already see it in your eyes that you know how you would look,” Irene muttered and
Emma’s POVI walked to work that morning feeling like a different person, my heels clinched against the gravel floor as I walked into the plaza. It felt like flowers were falling behind me as I moved and I would believe it was why people were also looking at me.Jason had dropped me off after he gave me a cute dress to wear, he had a closet full of beautiful dresses from where I shopped. He said he had figured it out when I commented on their instagram post and he had ordered hundreds of dresses for me from them. I didn’t believe it until I went to the closet and saw it myself.It was like an Emma shrine.My creepy billionaire boyfriend.“Emmaaa!!” Voices yelled from somewhere in the building as I was getting closer and I looked up to see Anna and Irene sticking out their faces from my office window. I placed my hands in my hair in astonishment and lifted my hands up at them. “You better come up here before we get to you!” They screeched and it was with excitement I hurried into the
Emma’s POVI lay on the ground in the penthouse naked, watching the stars as it glittered and mentally drawing creatures, I could hear Jason’s steady breathing next to me and somehow it comforted me. I was a little sore from the nonstop love making. I had come three times that night and I still wanted him. I didn’t know what the time was, I knew it was late and roughly, the time was around 4:00 AM.I could hear the silent whisper of the ocean and the scattered and tired conversations from the beach. I imagined lovers, imagined friends and I turned to Jason, placing all of my weight on my elbows as I watched him, I could imagine my own true love.I could admit it now, no matter how terribly it planned to end I loved him like i had never loved before. I didn’t sleep because I was scared of the nightmares, I knew somewhere in my heart that if I was with him I won’t have any but I didn’t want to risk it.I could not explain it but I felt lighter, it was all so surreal, almost like if I pi
