JANE’S POVI wish the car could go faster but Bryan was already driving at 100 miles per hour and I wouldn't want him to get pulled over by the police. I was looking outside the window all through the ride as I wished I had a superpower—maybe something like a flash—so I could be with Sarah and hold her hands. "Jane, she is going to be fine. Sarah is a strong woman. Do not worry too much about it.“I know Bryan; Sarah is always trying to make sure everyone around her is doing okay; she likes to be there for everyone through difficult times. Even though she tries to hide it most of the time, I can still see through her. I see the fear in her eyes—the fear of the unknown. She is scared of motherhood; she fears she will fail.But she is the total opposite of what she thinks of herself; I see the way she looks after my kids and the love and compassion she shows them. I know she will do well raising her kids.“I would have been the proud father of a seven-year-old by
JANE’S POV “Are you alright, Jane? You were talking to yourself.Bryan caught me when I was thinking out loud about Jaxson. Jaxson always has a way of putting me in a tight position. “I’m alright, Bryan, but I just feel a light headache. I wasn't actually feeling any headache as of the time Bryan asked but the moment I said it, my head started banging badly.“Oh dear! Should I ask the nurse to get you something for your head? Come, sit. You are worrying too much. I already ordered you chicken soup and fresh apple juice to help you calm your nerves; the delivery guy will be here shortly.“Wow! Thank you, Bryan. You’ve done enough for me already, but you do not have to stay here with me all night; you can leave whenever you want to.“Nonsense, I will be here with you, Jane. You need someone to be by your side. Besides, if I leave you here and go home, I won't even be at peace; I will worry too much. We sat for a while as I watched Bryan rub my arms in an attempt to keep
JANE’S POV (TWO DAYS LATER)"Hi, sister-in-law. That was the first thing Sarah said to her baby when she finally carried her.“Sister-in-law? Why do you call her that? I rolled my eyes to the side. I was curious; I wanted to know why Sarah would call her daughter that.“Can you not see the way she looks like her father, Jacob? She wanted to be my sister-in-law so badly so she came out looking like her father. I couldn't hold my laughter any longer; I busted out. “The doctor said we can go home today.“That is great. Did you drive or are you going to get us a cab?“None of the above, Sarah; Bryan is going to drop us off at home, he is on his way here. He would have been here about an hour ago but He ordered you soup. he just went to pick it up since there was no delivery person available. Sarah, Bryan is such a sweet soul. I don't know what I would have done without him. I had to ask him to go home and rest, he was ready to stay here with
JANE’S POV.Bryan dropped us at home and I saw my kid running towards Sarah just so they could have a look at the baby. They didn't even notice me; they fixed their gaze on Daisy as they followed Sarah inside the house. There was an awkward silence between me and Brayan as we watched them enter the house and they faded out of sight slowly. I didn't know what to say to him so we stood beside his car and I bowed my head and pretended to press my phone.“You've really stressed yourself out at the hospital; how are you feeling?“I feel very tired, honestly. I've been running about since she gave birth, and I've not had enough rest.“Your muscles are tired; let me treat you to a spa date. “You've done enough, Bryan; you do not have to do anything else for me. I appreciate everything you have done so far.“I'm not complaining, Jane; you are interesting to be with and I would love to spend more time with you. How does tomorrow sound? I will be really busy at the office tomorr
JANE’S POV.“Calm down, Jane; it's just 7 p.m.; he’ll be here soon.“That is what you told me 30 minutes ago. Sarah, I think he totally forgot about the date.“You know Bryan better, Jane; you've worked with him for a while; you know he doesn't joke with his appointments; I'm sure he has a better explanation for the delay. I was already upset at this point; Bryan hadn't even called me to tell me why he was running late. That is not very nice of him.“Call him and find out why he is delaying. I called him once, but he didn't pick up or return my call. I do not want to look too desperate so I won't call again. I was about to take off my earrings and undress when I heard his car pull up in the driveway.“You see, I told you. He is here now.“Sarah, Jacob said his flight was delayed; have you spoken to him since then? “I've been trying to call him since then, but my call is going to his voicemail. I've been noticing so much inconsistency with Jacob; he said he coul
JANE’S POV The car was silent for a few minutes until we approached a magnificent edifice. My eyes and mouth widened simultaneously. Bryan parked in his driveway and I saw his luxurious cars; there were too many I couldn't keep up counting. After he turned off the engine, he walked to my end and opened the car door for me. He held my hand as we walked into his living room. I was drooling over Jaxson’s mansion a few years ago but it was nothing compared to Bryan’s mansion. Bryan's mansion is way bigger and finer. I was looking around immediately when I got in and it was as if I had left earth. I'm not an architect but I know I can carve out five bedrooms from Bryan’s living room. “Welcome to my humble abode, Jane.“You call these Humble? You must be kidding me, Bryan. “Make yourself comfortable. Jane, I'll have my chef make you dinner. I would have asked him to make something for you when I came back home to freshen up but I was hurrying out and I totally forgo
JANE’S POV.Sex with Bryan was everything I needed and more. The feeling was memorable but I won't deny the fact that I was seeing Jaxson’s face all through. I fantasized about Jaxson when Bryan was touching me. I didn't moan too much during the sex because the way I was thinking about Jaxson was too much; I might just moan out his name unknowingly and that would not turn out well. I finally had an orgasm after so many years.After the sex, Bryan held me tightly in his arms as we were curled up in bed. I was feeling so relaxed; my back pain was gone. Thanks to Bryan’s massage, his cologne was so mild and I was sniffing his arm every five seconds because I loved the scent. He played with my hair and I loved the feeling. This is what I have been missing for years now. We were enjoying the calm and silent moment when Bryan suddenly asked me a question that made me choke on my saliva."Will you be my girlfriend, Jane? I couldn't say a word; I just turned and we we
JANE’S POV.I could feel my breath seizing gradually. I was so confused and dumbfounded. I didn't know if I should wear my bra first or my pants; I couldn't even find my bra, so I moved forward to pick up my pants from the floor and wear them, but I was in a hurry. I was trying to fit in my two legs at once, so I fell on the floor. That was when Bryan woke up and heard me fall to the floor."Jane, are you alright? Why are you rushing to leave this early? It is not even noon yet; won't you have something to eat before you go? Where are you even rushing? "I have an emergency. Sarah is at the hospital."What! Is she alright? What is wrong?"Not Sarah, baby Daisy; she was rushed to the hospital this morning."Oh my God, what happened to her?"Too many questions Bryan, I don't even know. I’m trying to order a ride."A ride? Why do you need a ride? Common, let me drop you."You don't have to do that, Bryan; you’ve done enough already. Besides, you have a meeting later
