"You could've brought your car here rather than carrying her to your car..." Mark's advice fell on deaf ears as Jeremy walked out of the pub carrying Jacques. Her purse was hanging from his shoulder. "Him carrying a woman's purse is something I thought I'd never see..."Mark went to his office and closed the door. He opened the drawer of his table with the key he kept safely in the locker. Inside was an old sepia-toned picture of a girl. Pouring a glass of vodka, he rested on the backrest placing the picture on his chest."I miss you..."-----Jeremy placed her on the passenger seat of his car and she was still sleeping. He placed her purse safely and buckled the seatbelt. "Why did you drink this much if you can't handle it?" he spoke gently and fixed her hair falling on her face. He paused to have a good look at her face. His fingertips were tingly after touching her smooth skin. Her cheeks were pink and her lips had a red tint. Her long curled lashes quivered slightly and slowly
"Jer- stop..."He tried to speak but she didn't stop and he lost the will to struggle. He slumped on the bed with a thud. His blood started rushing towards his lower abdomen and his hands were itching to hold her."Shush, Jerry... I am applying medicine for your ouchies..." she straddled on his thighs and bent over him and continued licking his lips.He let her be and revealed in the sweet sensations of her lips on his face. From one bruise to the next she moved and "applied medicine" in her way. As she moved, her crotch ground over his groin and he knew it won't be long before his insatiable monster will "awaken" and he wondered how she would react then."Why did you get hit?" she asked and her eyes started to water. "Poor boy... it must have hurt..." she placed her head on his chest and wrapped her hands around his neck.Jeremy patted her back. His heart bubbled with joy seeing her worried for him. "It hurt a lot. It still hurts. Apply more medicine..." he said in a pitiful tone a
But then it immediately went away as he never told Emma that he likes Jacques. Had she known that her brother likes her friend, she'd be supportive and not let her petty vengeance get the best of her. But...Jeremy recalled Mark's words. If the boy who was with Emma that day was Gerard, why did the both of them pretend to not know each other in front of him? Jeremy had an impression that the boy had powerful connections and that's why Jeremiah Harrison made sure he didn't find out his name. And every footage that could have proved his guilt was scrubbed off from records somehow.That year, he was barely nineteen and in no way had the standing he has now. Everything he has now, he gained them after he met his Luna. But he was planning to make that boy face justice. That well-protected boy was a minor and since it was his first offense, he won't face harsh punishments. But Jeremiah protected that boy and even withheld that boy's name from him and called him names and asked what right
Jacques lowered her eyes and looked away. Jeremy held her closer fearing she might run away. He thought she sobered up and his heart raced thinking about what he just did. I confessed!"We..." her breath tickled his neck as she was nestling there. "Us... it's not... ""Are we not possible?" he asked. He didn't want to look at her face in case she was sober."It's..." she struggled to say the words. "that day... I don't think I can forget..."Jeremy rested his chin on the crown of her head and hugged her close. He knew what day she was talking about. "I didn't...I didn't mean to... I didn't know you were with a child... but that's not an excuse..." his voice trembled and he squeezed her close to him. "I am sorry, Jacques... I am sorry..."He started trembling still holding her and his tears dripped on her hair. "And I thought you were just shocked and wanted to go to the hospital... I couldn't see any wound on you and the airbags didn't actually hurt you...I am sorry, I assumed...
"I will never forgive Emma ..." Jacques spoke in a low voice and her voice made Jeremy a bit calm. During her teen years, Emma made her live in fear, and even now she still isn't letting her off. Even Gerard lied to her together with Emma. They knew each other for a long time and Gerard hid it from her.It was then Jacques realized that even before she met TJ in the pub, Emma won't stop talking about her brother who is a local thug. "Why?" he asked."You're not?" she asked back. "She ruined your image for me and made me scared of you. That's some love your sister has for you. And because of her lies, I hid my pregnancy from you that led to... and her words that day almost..." she cut off and turned her back on him since she felt like crying. Jeremy knew she was talking about her miscarriage and her attempt to end her life and he stayed silent. And it seems like she holds Emma responsible for that. He didn't like that but he had nothing to say to counter her belief. Because the reas
In the middle of the night, Jacques felt very thirsty and woke up. She was stunned to see Jeremy lying beside her and she was cuddling him. With a gasp, she sat up and patted herself. She was relieved to know she wasn't hurting anywhere and she was fully clothed.She gently poked his cheek and he was in a deep sleep. He didn't even realize it when she got up. Jacques got down from the bed and quenched her thirst. Her head hurt very much and she took some pills from the first aid box. She checked the time and it was three in the morning and she still was sleepy.She wondered what she should do with the big guy occupying her bed. He fixed a door chain for her door and somehow ended up sleeping on her bed.But Jacques remembered a lot of what happened the previous night and she couldn't blame him. She was the one who started everything. And I licked him like a dog! Ugh!This is the reason why she never gets drunk. She unleashes the sides to her that she doesn't know she has when she is
Jacques hesitated to get down since she was embarrassed to face Jeremy and also she was feeling nauseated. But then, she had promised to cook breakfast every morning and he might be expecting her to prepare breakfast. She decided to cook, but when she got down, she was welcomed with a divine fragrance. "You started cooking already?" she asked and Jeremy turned at her with a stern look.He was not angry at her a lot because he had one of the best nights last night. But he was a little angry that she drank without considering her health.Working in his shed to clear his mind, he decided not to speak of last night to her. He confessed and she made sure she is not ready to think about love now. She still is not over the trauma of losing her child and he doesn't have any hope that she'll fall for him. And it seemed like she accepted his apology although he wasn't sure if she had forgiven him or not. And she won't remember anyway!"Missy, we need to talk about how stupid you were to get
"Gerard... It might be hard to fathom, but the timing she says this... Are you sure she is not lying? And is that even your child..." Seeing his glare, she gulped. "So it is your child? How did this- Did you keep on meeting her after-""We lost our baby, mom," Gerard began to shake leaning on her shoulder and she sighed in relief.Thank God it got solved by itself!She was relieved but her son's pain hurt her."The day of my wedding she had a miscarriage. And that b*Emma hid it from me although she knew. While she was suffering I had to put up with that Emma b!tch! Mom, I can't continue this farce anymore... I want my Jer. I am going to divorce-""No, no!" Before he finished, his mother closed his mouth. "Don't say that word. And what do you mean 'our baby'? I don't think there ever was a baby. She is playing to get you back... Women like her..."She decided to play the "She lied about her miscarriage" card but was interjected by Gerard's painful chuckle."Hahaha... Very well, mom!"
