“I think you have the wrong address,” Jade said, and I don't know what came over me as I decided to watch."No, I'm sure this is the right address, her name is Jessica,” Jun insisted.“There's no one named Jessica here, check the next door, man,” Jade said, trying to close the door, but Jun's hand was in the way."Man, I said...”
We were lost in each other's eyes for a second. I could see him leaning in for a kiss, and I closed my eyes. It's stupid, but I did. The thought of Clinton with Sophia didn't help either until a ball hit my legs. That's when I shot my eyes open, and surprisingly, Jade had his eyes open, staring at me.“Jade..”“I'm sorry, I didn't.”“It's not your fault.” I cut him and bent down to pick up the ball, which was still in b
~KOREA 2021~~JESSICA~“Hello? I'm home,” I said as I entered my apartment and kicked off my shoes, which landed on Jun, but being skilled, he luckily caught them. “At least the karate classes are put to work.”“You gotta stop doing that, what if the kids could be near?” He said and took steps towards me.“Good thing they were not near, where are they?” I asked as I walked past him, straight to the kitchen.“They are in their room, how did it go?” He asked, and I shot him a clueless look. “Your manager told me about it—the shoot with Jeeps.” He sounded uncomfortable.“Oh yeah, it was alright. I didn't like most of the pictures, but we managed to get two or three for the cover,” I said as I started making a sandwich.“Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, why don't you freshen up? I'm sure by the time you finish, I will also be done.”“Can I have the sandwich first? I'm so hungry,” I begged. He was against unhealthy eating, which reminded me of Clinton.“No unhealthy food, a proper mea
“What? Chris, is what?” I grabbed the phone from Jun's hands.“He was shot, Jess, he's in a coma but stable. I will call you if anything comes up, I have to go now.”“Please be strong, Chris will be fine,” I said, and she ended the call.“Are you okay?” Jun asked, and I nodded.
“I—I don't understand?” I stuttered. I was confused because Jun was shooting a movie, and I knew missing it was impossible. He walked to the bed, the kids were playing with my feet.“Lulu, Caleb, can you go make sure you packed all your toys?”"Okay, Pappa, Caleb, let us go,” Lulu said and jumped off the bed and ran out. Caleb followed her.“We are going together, I can't let you take my kids away,” he
~STATES 2021~~JESSICA~“Jessica!” Jun slightly shook me, and I broke out of my stare. “I think that's your sister's driver,” he said, and he pointed at a man who had an A4 sheet with Jun and my name written in red."Yes, he is,” I said, and we approached. The driver recognized us as he greeted us and opened the door for us as soon as we reached his side.“Do you want to stop by somewhere?”"No, thank you,” Jun responded while I rubbed sweat off Caleb and Lulu's foreheads. The drive was silent, with Jun looking out the window, it was his first time in the States. About thirty minutes later, we arrived at Loren's house, it was a little outside town. Caleb and Lulu were still asleep, I guess, because they were woken up early and it was already late in the night. I got out of the car first and took Lulu in my arms. “Is my sister home?” I asked the driver."Yes, Ms. Jessica,” he responded, and I nodded as I waited for Jun, who was taking long. Our luggage was still at the airport, so w
JADE? I couldn't believe my eyes. Jade was with Layla. When he left years ago, he said he would get his woman. I didn't think it would last, and what's surprising is that I was happy for them.“Jessica?” Layla shook me out of my thoughts, and I nodded to Jades' greeting."Oh, pardon my manners, please come in." I awkwardly cleared my throat.“Thank you,” Layla said, she walked in with Jade assisting her. Her belly was not that big, and how he held her was exaggerating. “It's fine, love, I'm okay, ” she complained.“I know, I just want to be sure. You’re carrying my baby, I don't want you or my baby to be uncomfortable,” he said, and she rolled her eyes.“So, did you miss me?” I turned to little Chris, who was still hugging my legs. Jade and Layla were already seated. I held little Chris's hand and walked to the sofa."Yes, I did, but Grace and Clinton are the ones who missed you a lot,” he said. I felt my eyes tearing, but I the tears in. I couldn't afford to cry in front of Jade and
She was big, I mean, she was close to eleven years old now. My heart skipped a beat, and I looked around at the thought of Clinton being near.“I came with the guards, it's Dad's birthday tomorrow,” she said, realizing how I looked around. I had tears in my eyes, seeing her was not expected.“Can--can I hug you?” I didn't know how she would respond.“Ye–yes,” she also stuttered. She shakingly lifted her arms, and we hugged. She had grown so tall that her head reached my chin.“You are so big,” I said as we pulled away.“Yes, Daddy says I am big now. Mommy, why did you leave us?”“You will not understand,” I said and wiped away the tears that escaped my eyes.“I will understand. Did Daddy do something? Why did you not tell us we could talk to him?” She was nearly crying.“Please don't cry, because if you do, Mommy will also cry,” I said, and a sad smile appeared on her lips.“I'm not a baby anymore, you need to tell me what happened,” she insisted.“You need to understand that parents
