Chapter 59 Janet “Tony,” she said. I felt sorry for her, seeing her eyes brighten on seeing the jackass, then narrowed as they dropped to the empty cardboard boxes and soda cans on my desk. “What is going on here?” She asked suspiciously. “None of your business.” He said, glaring at her disdainfully. “Tony and I were just finishing a meeting and he is just leaving.” I said firmly. “Meeting? What meeting?” She asked. “He is a rep of Sands Ltd.” I grimaced. Anna turned pale. “ Since when?” “Since forever, not that it is any of your business.” Tony said scornfully. “Please Tony, we need to talk.” Anna pleaded. “Talk to my lawyer.” He snapped. “Like Jan said, I am on my way out. See you Jan.” Tony pushed past her and left. She stood for a second, then hurried after him. “Anna!” I called. I sighed and dropped into my chair. I hated the fact Anna was acting so desperate for a jerk who didn’t give a damn about her. She was going to end up hurting herself even mo
Chapter 60Janet“Hmm…this is delicious.” I said as I finished the last of the meal. It had been exotic and delicious. The candles making the whole thing very romantic.We sat side by side on the couch, sipping wine. “Hmm… you sure know how to spoil a girl.” I giggled.“No, only this girl.” He smiled.“Let’s do this every day.” I said snuggling next to him.“Your wish is my command.” He said. “I love this, where did you get the idea?”“I dreamed it up. I’ve dreamed up so many things I want to do for you. Funny enough, I have never been this creative with any other girl.”“And why is that?”“Because I have never loved any girl the way I love you.” “I love you too.”“So it’s a yes?” He asked hopefully.“Can I think about it a little more?”“If you have to, but I am sure stage three will change your mind.”I laughed. “ What could be better than this?”“You will know by tomorrow evening.”“I can’t wait.”He poured the last of the wine.“I have dated two men and they were
Chapter 61 Janet Now I had made up my mind to move in with Kevin, I couldn’t wait to tell him. But it won’t be over the phone. I wanted it to be face to face, preferably over lunch or dinner. I was awake before dawn but lay dreaming of what life with him would be like. Here Fran looked after me, with Kevin, would I have to do chores, or would he? Or would the chores be shared? I grimaced. Kevin didn’t look to me like he could do even the basic chores. He once told me a cleaning agency sent an employee over every week to clean his place, and he ate out most of the time. Would we still keep that arrangement if we lived together? The thought of suddenly being domesticated excited and scared me. Another thing that scared me was telling my family I was moving out. Dad would be sad, but he won’t stop me if he knew it was something I really wanted to do. Lois would be happy to see me go, but I worried how Anna would react. I didn’t want to rub my happy relationship in her face.
Chapter 62 Janet On my way back to work Jason called and texted me repeatedly, but I didn’t answer. I was furious with him. He had no right to butt into my affairs, and his tone was very annoying. I wasn’t a kid dammit! I got to my office and decided to call Kevin and know how he was doing. He didn’t pick up. Maybe he is very busy. I thought But Jason’s word had me worried. Kevin had been acting funny lately, was he hiding something? He had promised me no more secrets and I believed him, but was I making a mistake by trusting him? I shook my head. No, Jason was just being hateful. I loved and trusted Kevin. If we were to live together, I had to. “Everyone was already seated at the dining table when I came in. *********** “Lois and I have an announcement to make.” Dad said. We had just finished dinner and Fran had brought in dessert. He took Lois by the hand and they stood up. We looked at them. Dad was blushing, Lois’s fake smile was wider and
Chapter 63 Kevin My ringing alarm work me up. I cursed. I had been asleep for less than two hours, and it was already time to get up. I had been up most of the night dreaming up ways to get Janet to say yes to my request. For a guy that liked his own space, it was crazy the way I was desperately trying to get her to move in with me. I got up and went to take a shower, then walked into the kitchen butt naked to make coffee. I occasionally went around naked, and why not? I lived alone, even Janet moving in wasn’t going to stop me. “I may even convince her to give it a try.” I muttered, grinning slyly. I looked round the kitchen. Like the rest of my house, it was as neat as a pin. The cleaning service people who cleaned it every week did a great job, and aside making coffee, I did nothing else here. Nearly all my meals were eaten in restaurants. But this was going to change when Janet moved in. I sat on the couch, sipping coffee. The thought of living with her excited me, b
Chapter 64 Kevin I was pacing my living room, anxiously waiting for Rita to arrive. I had told the bitch 8pm, now it was 9:15pm and still no sign of her. I dialed her number she wasn’t picking. What was taking her so long? I wanted this over and done with. On my way home I had stopped at a pharmacy and bought a pregnancy kit. Just when I was about pulling out my hair, the doorbell rang. “I told you 8pm!” I growled as I let her in. “Sorry babe, traffic.” “Why aren’t you answering your phone?” “I didn’t hear it.” She smiled. She came in and dropped on my sofa. “I love this place, any chance I can move in when Kevin Jr is born? I want him to be close to his Dad.” I took a step towards her. “Careful how you push me.” I warned. “I am only being nice. No need to get mad.” “Keep it to yourself.” “Okay, since you are in a bad mood. Can I get a drink?” She asked. “No! Before we do anything you have to do this first.” I went over to the coffee table and picked up
Chapter 65 Janet As I drove home, the Linkin Park song numb kept playing over and over in my head. I was numb with shock. Could I really be three times unlucky? Could three different men all lie and cheat on me? And I was supposed to believe that I wasn’t the problem. I didn’t even know how I got home, I guess I was using my instincts, because I definitely wasn’t using my head. I let myself into the house. Fran came into the hallway when she heard me come in. “Miss Janet I am really disappointed in….what’s wrong?” She asked, alarmed by the look on my face. I just stared at her, too numb to say a word. “Please tell me, what is the matter? What happened?” She sounded scared. Looking at myself later in my vanity mirror I knew why, my face was paper white. I pushed past her and ran upstairs to my room. I was sitting on my bed, staring at myself in my vanity mirror, when Fran came in. “Janet please what is wrong?” She asked. “He lied to me.” My voice was distant.
Chapter 66 Janet I was drifting off to sleep, when there was a knock on the door. “Come in.” I said. Kevin walked in. I jumped out of bed and faced him. “What are you doing here?” I demanded, not believing Fran had let him in. “Please let me explain.” He said gently. “I don’t want to hear it you lying son of a bitch! Now get out!” “I love you.” “You lied to me!” “I was going to tell I swear! I didn’t want to hurt you.” He pleaded. “I don’t care! Now get out!” He grabbed me and kissed me. To my surprise I responded, pulling him closer. He slowly slid down my nightgown and began kissing me all over my body. I moaned as he went lower and lower and...... There was a knock on the door. We ignored it. It grew louder and louder. I woke up. Fran came in with lunch. “You look a lot better Miss. Janet I hope you feel same too.” She said. I smiled uncomfortably. How could I tell Fran I was feeling better because I’d dreamt I had been having sex with the man who br
