Jeremy had very little hope, but he decided to wait. Waiting for her comes easy for him.He waited for some time and her door was still open. And as he watched, she came out of her room, still with her pout on.Is she still feeling bad?"Tell me more stories from your childhood, Jerlina!" he tried to use his normal voice, but his excitement to see her walking towards him got revealed by his excited voice."Really?" he saw her eyes widening with relief."Yes, tell me more about your grandpa... he seems like an interesting guy," he said pointing at his bed."He is! Geez, I have a lot to tell you about him...Where shall I start..?"With no care in the world, she walked to his bed and he kicked out the pest Earl who tried to sneak in. He made sure to lock his door.No one is permitted inside tonight!-----Jacques Woke up in the morning feeling a little dampness on her forehead. She opened her eyes groggily and met eyes with a smiling Jeremy.Her neck felt like it was resting on a block o
"Are you sure about this? You're not mad? Charlie doesn't think this is a good idea... he thinks I might provoke the Tigers' gang leader by hiring a member of his group," Jacquesasked Jeremy.She was currently in Jeremy's office after leaving the clinic. She was happy she found an amazing artist to design for her glassware company, but the problem is he belongs to another gang and there might be trouble attached to him."Do you think he would be helpful for you?" Jeremy asked."Yes! When I first saw his cute art, I was mind blown! You see, for the collectibles I am putting up on our website, I thought of adding some cute items to attract Mikhail Volkonsky's fangirls. Shaun's designs would be perfect... I consulted Nick and he said with a little tweaking here and there, and a little training, Shaun has the potential to become a designer!" Jacques Held his arm."So can I?""You are sponsoring him for a crash course on designing but you aren't hiring him?" Jeremy asked.This one is... am
Jacques With a sigh.Well, I tried!Was she happy he refused to help? No. But she understood him.She wanted to give it a try as she promised and she did. But she had a suggestion and she would have been happy if he listened to it.But... Well, I can try later."Jerlina," he stopped at the door.He didn't feel good for using that tone on her. He was not going to change his mind, but he can explain it to her.He was harsh with her, but it is for her own good. And if she can't understand that..."What?" Jacques Got up and walked to him. She wondered if he forgot something."You're not mad?" he asked looking at her face. He was surprised.She asked something and he harshly refused her, but she still looks at him normally?Why can I never understand her?Is it because it doesn't directly involve her she can act normal?"No, why would I be mad? I am a little disappointed... but I am not mad," Jacquesspoke from her heart.Jacques Looked at his surprised reaction. "I know I got mad at you be
"Emma... I don't know if she'd actively sabotage your company," Jacquesactually didn't think Emma would go against Jeremy hard at first.Emma still needs Jeremy to pay for her after all. She is used to living a certain way and enjoys certain perks because Jeremy is where he is. So, Emma won't touch him where she gets hurt.Emma will hurt Jeremy where it only hurts him – she'll hurt his heart.Unfortunately for Jacquesand fortunately for Emma, the one Emma hates and the one Jeremy loves is the same person – Jerlina!And so, Emma will try to hurt Jerlina.But will Jeremy believe her when she says it to him?Jacquessighed.I should defend myself against Emma. And I have the help of others."But Jeremiah Harrison would," Jacqueswetted her lips. She still remembered the way Jeremiah glared at them when he left the wedding."Whether you like to admit it or not, he has influence here... And I think he's someone with a crab mentality. He'd-""Crab mentality?" Jeremy questioned."Yes, crabs in
Jeremy didn't know what he thought, but he held her hand as soon as she turned. He didn't like to see her leave.My dear Jerlina, just don't leave me alone. I can't wait to hear you say those three words to me. So, say those words to me first.My heart's pounding and my chest hurts. I want to say how much I love you but I can't find the words. I can't find my voice either.I fear I'd die of the love I am feeling for you.So please, fall for me soon. Say "I love you" to me and relieve me of my suffering.Jeremy wanted to speak, but his words didn't come out.Jacques Turned to look at him. He was choking with emotions. She didn't know what he wanted to say."Are you leaving?" she asked and he nodded."I'll be a little late tonight. I'll quickly make some phone calls and I'll be back home within an hour. I drove the Porsche here," she bent and placed a kiss on his cheek. "I'd love chicken roast with potatoes tonight," she kissed his other cheek."Okay," he hugged her with a smile.That's
Geraldine Bridge - The beautiful bridge that is built across a stream in the outskirts of Peyton.When she was in high school, the cool kids who are dating the popular kids and those who own a car will brag if they come here for "dates". Since it was used to be a spot for drug dealers before, there were curfews in place to go to that bridge.Sneaking to the bridge with their dates has been like a rite of passage to adulthood back then.It seems like it still is.She could see a couple of second-hand cars parked around and she could already guess what would be going on there."Joel, why are we here?" she asked, digging his arm with her fingers."We're on a date!" he grinned and looked around. "When I was in school, Bobby would brag that he brought Scar here and those two would mock me because I didn't have a girlfriend to bring-" he stopped himself."I just wanted to bring you here... you know, just like that," he turned to look at her."Really?" Jacquessaid swallowing her laughter.By
Jacqueswas impressed that Jeremy knew each of those kids and he had their parents' number too. She tried to stop him, but he called the parents of each one of them before confiscating their keys.The parents arrived to pick up their kids and after lecturing them, Jeremy handed over the keys.One couple seemed to have lied to their parents that they were going to the library to study. Another seemed to have been honest with them, but they didn't say they were going to the bridge. And the last one- the couple in the truck, had snuck out of their homes.Jacquesdidn't think Jeremy could be petty until she saw Jeremy smiling at the boy teasingly when his father said that he is grounded.All this because our kiss was interrupted?After the entire area was cleared, Jeremy came back to the Jeep. He sighed as he picked up a blanket from the back. Jerina got down and picked up the food and beer. It seemed like he had prepared a place for them to have dinner."Can't you let them have fun for a n
"Why, Joel?" she straddled on his lap and kissed his glabella. She didn't like the frown between his eyes. "Why? Why did you go that far for a girl you f*cked at the pub one night?""A girl I f*cked?" he let out a snort.He didn't like that phrase. For him, she never was just a girl he f*cked. Maybe for her, he was just a guy she f*cked?Whatever! It is understandable if she thought that way if she didn't remember what happened.He didn't think that sleeping with her that night was very romantic. He didn't consider that as an accomplishment of some sort. Even if she lied about her age, she still was very drunk. She didn't even remember it. He felt guilty about it and he still thinks that he should have avoided it even though she was the one who instigated it.But he treasured that memory at the same time.What made a great impression on him are the words she spoke and the intelligent person she is.He is glad to know that she doesn't hold any resentment towards him for that night and
