After that incident the tension between the two heightened. Gabby tried her best to avoid Jake. Jake is bad news. She can't afford to be involved with him. He is beyond her. Gabby is nobody and should remain that way. She’s a girl trying to hide from her horrible past, a past that she hopes never catch up on her. But then again you can never really avoid someone as determined as Jason Luke Anderson. He would just give up. The more she tries to stay away from him, the more challenged he gets. He loves challenges.
"What the hell you scared the shit out of me." Gabby yelled when Jake slammed the door of the storage room.
"You're avoiding me."
"Excuse me. I don't have time for your bullshits. I need to go. Let me pass."
"No. Unless you tell me, why you are avoiding me?" He stated blocking the doorway.
"Fine, let's stay here the entire day. I have nothing to tell you." Gabby stated. "I don't owe a perverted asshole like you an explanation."
"Well, alright. Let me talk then." Jake stated. "I like you. I really do."
"Thank you. Are you done?" Gabby said completely annoyed.
"Not quite. I locked the door so you can't get out." He replied showing the keys to Gabby before putting it on his pockets.
"Oh gosh, if this is one of your childish games for foreplay it's not working." Gabby sat on the beer cases and pretended to yawn.
"Foreplay?" Jake moved closer to her and pulled her close to him so that they were face to face. "I don't do foreplay."
"Really?" Gabby tried to sound disappointed. "I love foreplay."
"No you don't." He stated while caressing legs.
"I do. I enjoy it." Gabby whispered and began biting his ears. "Am I turning you on?" She said seductively as her hands travelled down his body to grab the keys in his pocket.
"I know what you're trying to do." He grabbed Gabby's hands. "I like you and you're scared to admit that you like me too."
"What? As if." Gabby rolled her eyes. "You're delusional."
"If you don't like me then sleep with me."
"You mean have sex with you. As in I let myself be screwed by a perverted jerk like you. No fucking way." Gabby stated.
"Well, I guess you like me then. I can't blame you. What's not to like in me?" Jake stated cockily.
"Do you expect me to answer that? You are so full of yourself."
"I can't get you out of my head. I've been with various women and all I can think about is you. I picture you in my head whenever I'm with someone."
"You are creepy. That is sick. How can you be telling me this shit? Let my hands go. You're hurting me."
"I would never hurt you." He let go of Gabby's hands. "But come on, you are busting all my self-esteem and all my confidence right now. Help me get you out of my system."
"Oh my gosh fine. Let's get this over. Want me to bend over so you can get this over with." Gabby stated totally annoyed.
"Not here. My place tomorrow night I'll pick you up."
"Just give me your address and I'll go there. I am not going to be seen by anyone getting into your car."
"Oh come on. What's wrong with that? I thought you never cared what other people say about you." Jake stated.
"I don't. I just don't want people to start any rumors connecting me to you."
"I don't care. I mean I can ensure you that whatever happens between the two of us will remain a secret. No one will know about it."
"Even your best friends?"
"Of course you have my word. This would be our secret."
"Okay. Can you open the door now? Fine, do whatever you please. I need to pee."
"It wasn’t locked. I was just playing with you." Jake admitted.
"You're an asshole; I mean are you fucking kidding me. Someone could have walked in on us." Gabby stated totally pissed.
"I know." He stated smirking. "You were all over me."
"In your dreams, stay away from me and don't even think that I agreed with your stupid arrangement. I sleep with people I choose and not with someone who’s just trying to play games with me.”
"Did you two just come up the storage area together?" Cole glared at the two of them.
"You have eyes so why do I have to answer the obvious." Gabby hissed.
"What were you two doing down there?" Cassie asked confused.
"We had sex." Gabby responded.
"No you didn't." Cole responded.
"Well, that's exactly my point. If I said we didn't do anything. You'll probably say that's impossible. If I said we did something then you'll all won't believe what I tell you. So I'll just say just let your imaginations run wild. Think whatever you want to think. I'm beat. I just want to sleep."
"Later, sweetheart." Jake tapped her butt and smirk at her.
"Jerk." Gabby smiled and showed him her middle finger. "F. U."
"Oh just tell me what time sweetheart. I'll do you anywhere anytime however you want it." Jake stated laughing. "Let's go Cole. Nicholai is probably at the resto now. I don't get that guy. He always insists to have meetings so early in the morning."
"Well he's a busy man. And besides, we all can think straight better about business in the morning." Cole responded. "You girls take care now go ahead."
"Love you, Cole." Gabby responded. "If you're free later I'm always available for you 24/7."
"I know. Let's do a rain check on that. I might be out for a few weeks."
"Oh okay. Don't forget my chocolates."
"Sure thing Gab. How about you Cassie? You need anything?" Cole asked.
"Just watch over Jonathan for me." Cassie responded.
"Got it."
"What were you and Mr. Arrogant doing at the storage room?" Cassie asked once the two were gone.
"Playing with fire." Gabby responded.
"You know his a jerk, right. He'll just sleep with you and use you."
"Cassie, I know. You don't have to warn me about guys. I know how to handle them I won't get involve with someone I can't handle."
The next day Gabby waved goodbye to Cassie and Jonathan as they drove away. It was their day off so Gabby decided to roam around the city and enjoy the nightlife the city has to offer. She was trying to make up her mind where to go first when a car stopped in front of her and open the passenger side door.
"You never give up, do you?" Gabby smiled when he saw Jake at the driver's side.
"Hop in. You seem lost." He stated at her.
"I'm standing right in front of my apartment I'm pretty sure I know where I am." She got in and fastened her seat belt. "But I'm sure ready to get lost."
"I knew you'll change your mind." Jake said smiling sweetly and started driving. "So what are you up to tonight?"
"Nothing much. Get drunk, hook up, and maybe get laid who knows. I have no idea." Gabby replied honestly.
"Let me show you something special then if you don't have anything important to do."
"If you show me your dick I would fucking kill you." Gabby started laughing. "A guy I hooked up once used that line and he showed me his fucking dick. I mean no offense he was something in bed but his dick was nothing more than an average. How can he tell me it was something special?"
"Relax you’re blabbering. I don't really care about another person's dick." Jake started laughing with her.
"You know what I don't get you. You’re rich you can get any girl you want. And yet you are wasting your time on me. Why?" She asked seriously.
"I told you yesterday at the storage room. Were you not paying attention to anything I told to you yesterday?" Jake said in disbelief. "I like you."
"I don't do relationships." Gabby responded.
"Me neither." Jake smirked. "Then that makes the two of us. Relationships are complex and stupid. They are for weak people who think they can't survive independently. Love is for crazy people. I just said I like you. I didn't ask you to be my girlfriend. I’m in no way in love with you."
"I'm so relieved. We had that all cleared up. I would totally freak out and jump out this car if you ask me to be your girlfriend." Gabby winked at him. "Anyway, whose car is this you're driving."
"Mine. I just bought it earlier. You're the first person I let you ride it. We're here." He announced as he stopped the engine.
He stopped the car and got out. The night was perfect. They were at the port looking over the statue of Liberty. Gabby had been staying in New York for more than a year now but she never had the time or the interest to go to this place. There are really lots of things that can be so simple and yet magnificent at the same time.
"Wow this is beautiful. Don't tell me you own one of this ferries and would give me a private ride to the statue of Liberty." Gabby said happily looking at the port."I don't do that kind of shit sorry to disappoint you, sweetheart." He put his hand on Gabby's shoulder. "I go here to think. When think goes way out of hand I go here and it feels like everything is alright again. No more worries.""What the matter? Do you have any problems?" Gabby asked."Nothing, everything is okay again. That's the magic of this place. It makes me forget all my worries." He responded smiling at Gabby.
"We're here." Jake announced as he parked the car to a driveway."This is where you live." Gabby was shocked to see the house. "Our apartment can actually fit in there. How many rooms do you have?""You are so beautiful when you're surprised. Come on, let's go inside." They got inside and he smiled at Gabby. "Want a tour of the house?""Jake, I have seen bigger houses. I don't need a tour of the house." She held Jake's hands. "But I have a better idea on things that we should explore." She stated seductively.
"I don't get it. Why do I have to meet your parents?" Gabby complained as they were both trying to get dressed."Well, it's your fault that they know you were here. You tried to sneak out earlier remember. So the entire household know you’re here.""You told me you'll show me your house. You didn't tell me it was your parents' house. If I knew that last night, I would have never spent the night here. You are full of lies." Gabby stated pissed at Jake."Hey, knock it off. I didn't lie to you. And beside I didn't force myself to you. I was pretty sure we both know what we were doing."
"Best, where the hell have you been?" Cassie yelled at Gabby as she walked in the bar with Jake."Westchester." Gabby responded. "I knew I'll find you here. I saw Cole's car parked outside.""You took her to your parents' house?" Cole glared at Jake."Uh huh." Jake said nodding at Cole."And it was a blast." Gabby stated laughing."Why are you two together?" Cassie looked at the two o
"What the hell is your problem?" Gabby asked Jake after she successfully pulled him out of the bar to the back alley."I missed you. I came all the way from the airport and I went here to see you. But you seem to be unhappy to see me. You're even using Cole to make me jealous." He responded."You're drunk. How the hell did you manage to drive here in that condition?""My driver but that's not the point why aren't you happy to see me?""Listen, Mr. Anderson, you're my boss and you are no
Jake and Cole arrived at the bar that same day together around five in the afternoon. They already sorted things out and everything was alright between them. Jake doesn’t keep secrets from Cole they were like brothers. Nicholai was still out on a business trip so it was just the two of them talking about the issue at hand."Jake, seriously bro she's just not into you. I mean she sneaked out on you." Cole sated laughing at Jake’s predicament. "She left a fucking note. I don't get it. Who does that?" Jake stated totally pissed."Are
"Jake, I have something to tell you." Gabby stated while checking the time, it was almost five in the morning."Let me guess, you had an argument with Cassie regarding his cheating boyfriend Jonathan and you want me to have the man killed." He responded."I'm serious." Gabby stated as she put on Jake's shirt before walking out the bedroom."I was just trying to lighten up the mood. What's wrong?" Jake sat next to her at the couch. "You seem off since you got here.""I can't do this anym
The last thing Gabby expected was to see Jake at her front door in the middle of the night. Everything was doing great for her. Her life is back on track. Cassie was out with Jonathan and she was pretty sure that he would already propose. So Gabby is already preparing to move out and explore a different city. Once Cassie gets married, Gabby will be heading off to Miami, a fresh new start, a new place and a whole new adventure. There was a loud knock at the front door so Gabby hurriedly check who was it."Jake, what the hell are you doing here?" Gabby stated as he peeked through the door. "Do you know what time it is?""Gabby, sweetheart. I need to talk to you." He tried pushing the door but
EndJake and Blair finally found their way back into each other’s arms. They are now happily married with two lovely children. They may not be the perfect couple but they have learned that they do not need to be perfect. They just needed to be together. They discovered through their experience what love truly means.
Blair's POVJake really is something. I never imagined seeing him on his knees to propose. I can't believe that he was able to convince Evgeni and Papa Ivan to show up and participate in his little act. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out as he planned it to be. My morning sickness has been getting worse and I throw up nonstop in the morning. I couldn't keep anything down my stomach except for ice cream. I know how embarrassing it is for Jake to be doing this and I was having the time of my life watching him in his discomfort. I know that I have already decided to be with him the moment I set my foot back in New York. I just wanted to enjoy this moment when he finally put all his guard down and do something completely out of his character.
Jake's POVI didn't see it coming. I was really surprised to learn that Blair is pregnant. She was back but the current issue with Sheila might just split us apart. I clarified the issue with the media and Sheila resigned from her position. Cole decided to hire her instead in his company. It took a lot of time and effort to fix it. I didn't want to talk to Blair until the issue was settled. I control my urge to go see her and it was driving me nuts. I wanted to do something that she least expected. And it could either get us back together faster or it can make me chase after her longer. But I wasn't ready to give up on us. We are going to get back together no matter what.
Blair's POV"I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore." I stated and went back to the house."Sweetheart, you can't just drop the bomb and leave as if nothing happened.""You can't just fuck your secretary and pretend it never happened." I countered."Sweetheart, please calm down. It's not good for the baby. I don't want you stressing out over something that is not even true." I pleaded.
Jake's POVI wanted to see Blair so badly but the universe seems to be against my side. I couldn't just show up in Miami unannounced since Blair and I had an agreement. I didn't want to upset her by not doing what we agreed on. Unfortunately, we weren't able to meet since our trip to Canada. Both of us had been very busy and so we weren't able to meet. I needed to see her so I did all that I can to have my schedule clear for next weekend. It's been four weeks since we've been together.A lot of people were spreading rumours about me and Sheila sleeping together. I didn't want to make any comments since it would just make the issue big. I always have her next to me
Blair's POV They say that unplanned things sometimes are the best things that can happen in life. And after our trip to Canada, I had a chance to think back of all the things that happened between me and Jake. I don't really regret the time that we separated but I cherish it because I was able to find a purpose to live my life for myself and not for others. I was happy that I was able to make decisions and choices for myself without worrying about the consequences of my actions about others. All my life, I pretended to be indifferent and say I don't care; but the truth is I always do. I wasn't just ready to admit it. I always wanted to get the satisfaction of getting others approval with my every action and be impressed with what I was capable of. Time away from Jak
Jake's POVBlair is a person that gets whatever she wants. And I was someone that is willing to give her everything she wanted. I can sleep around but nothing would ever compare to her. She has the body that I can worship forever and never get tired of. She can match my intensity and we already are accustomed with each other’s body. I caress her naked body as she lay on top of me in my suite's living room. We were both trying to catch our breath and I can feel myself being arouse with our current position."Jake, I have to go." She tried to get up but I embrace her tightly.
Blair's POVI can't believe that I almost got screwed inside an elevator. I mean, Jake is someone that Ican't easily resist. He makes me lose my sanity so I guess it was really a losing battle. He continued checking me out while I try to fix myself. I was a mess. And the way Jake was looking at me was driving me crazy. I might end up jumping at him if these people don't get us out soon. The elevator door was opened at last but it was in between floors."Are you two, alright?""No. What the hell were you people doing? How could it take you almost an hour to
Jake's POVI didn't want to spend five days with Blair in Canada but I had no choice since it was Cole and Andrea's wedding. They wanted an exclusive wedding. They only invited family and friends. The wedding was going to be held at Cole's ancestral house. It was just a small and simple celebration. Andrea just requested that all their friends spend five days with them. And that includes me and Blair. I wasn't about to go to my friend’s wedding with some random woman I picked up as my date for some social events. So I invited my secretary to come with me.Sheila was a fresh graduate and she has been working for me for six months now. She is young, beaut
