Chapter 81: Going home

Jayden leaned back in his chair, still holding his phone, reluctant to let go when he heard her next words, which made his heart sink a little.“Jayden, I have to go. Something just came up. But don’t overwork yourself, okay?”He hesitated in responding, as he didn’t want to admit how much he’d enjoyed their conversation.Sighing, he realized it would be selfish of him to ask her to stay, and so he spoke. “Alright. Thanks for distracting me for a while. Take care of whatever you need to, and... thanks, Zendaya.“Anytime. Bye, Jayden,” she bid him, and he responded, after which she disconnected the call.He stared at the screen for a few seconds after the call ended, and a faint ache settled in his chest. He hated how quickly the distraction she brought into his chaotic day had slipped away. With a sigh, he set his phone down and turned back to the mountain of work before him.The hours dragged by, and the office grew quieter with every passing moment. When he looked at the time, he

Chapter 82: She cared

When he came back downstairs, he was met with the smell of something warm and inviting, and his stomach growled aggressively, reminding him that he hadn't eaten all day.He was starving.Without wasting time, he followed the smell to the dining room, where he found Zendaya setting the table where the plates of food were neatly arranged.“You did all this?” he asked, stepping closer.She looked up at him, brushing a strand of hair from her face, which left another streak of flour on her forehead. “Is it so shocking that I can.”Jayden chuckled, leaning against the doorway. “I didn’t say you couldn’t,” he raised his hand in surrender. “I'm surprised you did it for me.”“Yeah, well, it only took a few hours. ” she said, carefully placing the last dish on the table. “And I did it for you because you've cooked for me. Nothing more.”“Sure,” Jayden nodded as he knew she was trying to convince herself that what she did was just her repaying him back.He stepped closer, and he glanced at the

Chapter 83: Making the first move

“So, how is it?” Zendaya asked after Jayden had taken a bite.“It's nice,” Jayden responded, and the expression on her face fell.“It's terrible, isn't it?” She asked him as she moved to pack the table.Reaching out, he flicked her forehead. “I said it's nice. Stop overthinking it,” he told her.“Now eat, you've worked hard on it,” he told her, and she nodded as he grabbed out a plate and started to dish out the food. “This isn't anything like yours,” she remarked after she had tasted the food. “It’s your first time doing this, you don’t hear me complaining, do you?” Jayden raised an eyebrow. “If you don't want to eat, then that's fine, but I'm going to.”Zendaya sighed, after which she sat and decided to eat the food. Jayden watched Zendaya across the table as they ate in comfortable silence, the clinking of silverware the only sound in the room. The food wasn’t perfect—he could tell the rice was slightly overcooked, and the pie was definitely tougher than it should have been—but

Chapter 84: Soon, you'll be mine!

Zendaya’s lips parted, but no words came out. Her heart thundered in her chest, and she realized, with a clarity that both scared and thrilled her, that she didn’t want him to stop, that was why she had made the move in the first place.Taking her silence as permission, Jayden tilted his head and closed the final inch between them. His lips brushed against hers, soft and hesitant at first, as though he was giving her one last chance to pull away.He wasn't ready to do anything she didn't want to do, and so he was taking his time with her. Who knew the girl would kiss him out of nowhere? That single action of her made his body come alive, and he planned on stealing a kiss from her, only if she was willing.He waited for Zendaya to refuse if what she had done earlier was a mistake, but she didn't.Instead, her hands found their way to his chest, clutching his shirt as she kissed him once again.The hesitation melted away, replaced by a surge of passion that took them both by surprise.

Chapter 85: Showing it

The soft sound of typing filled the air as Zendaya woke up still on the bed. She had been hearing that sound for some time, but she had chosen to ignore it.However, she couldn't anymore, which was the reason why she had opened her eyes.She blinked, adjusting to the lighting of the room. It took her a moment to realize what had woken her up, and when she did, a deep frown appeared on her face. The faint glow of a laptop screen and the unmistakable silhouette of Jayden on the same sofa he had been on when it fell asleep. She frowned, rubbing her eyes as she sat up. Glancing at the clock on the nightstand, she saw it was three fifteen.Her frown deepened and she quietly got out of bed. Jayden was so engrossed in the screen that he didn't notice her getting out of bed. His brows were furrowed, his jaw tight, and his fingers moved over the keyboard. She saw a nearly empty cup of coffee beside him.“Seriously?” Zendaya’s voice broke the silence in the room, and it startled him.Jayden

Chapter 86: Going clubbing

Zendaya yawned as she made her way into the studio. The energy in the room was high as she saw assistants scurry with racks of clothing, stylists adjusting lights, and photographers setting up their equipment. Good grief, why were there always so many people at such shoots? She asked herself in irritation.As she made her way toward the dressing area, a familiar voice rang out."Well, if it isn’t Miss Always on time herself," Juliette teased, as she made her way towards her in a sleek emerald green dress that hugged her figure.‘Nice gown,’ Zendaya remarked in her head.Zendaya rolled her eyes but smiled. "And here I thought I’d get through the day without you inflating my ego. It’s not my fault you all take time seriously."Juliette laughed, pulling her into a quick hug. "Hurry up and get your hair and makeup done so we can get the shoot over and done with,” she urged."Alright, alright," Zendaya replied, as she made her way to the changing room.She and Juliette had been chosen to

Chapter 87: I'll make you regret it

The loud music blasted through the speakers, and it made the floors vibrate as people yelled on the dance floor.Zendaya stood at a table with Juliette and Anaya, sipping a cocktail that was sweeter than she liked. Her friends were deep in conversation, laughing and pointing at the dancers nearby.Zendaya forced a smile, but her thoughts were elsewhere. Normally, she had no problem with such an atmosphere, but the same couldn't be said at that moment. The music was too loud, the air too stifling, and the crowd too chaotic for her liking. She couldn’t stop thinking about Jayden, what he was doing and how he must have felt when she told him she couldn’t come.He had intended to cook for her, and she had shut him down. Most importantly, she hadn't seen him all day and she missed him."Okay, we need to get you on the dance floor," Juliette declared, snapping Zendaya out of her thoughts.Before Zendaya could protest, Juliette added, "No excuses. You’ve been brooding all night.""I’m not

Chapter 88: You're mine, only mine.

Zendaya watched in silence as Jayden let Daniel drop to the floor, groaning and clutching his arm. The club's bouncers finally arrived and dragged the defeated man out, but Jayden didn't even glance their way. His focus was entirely on Zendaya. Unlike the past few days where he had looked at her with tenderness, the look in his eyes told her he was angry, very angry at her. "Outside. Now," he ordered, his tone cold and furious. Zendaya didn't dare argue and she nodded. The cool night air hit her skin as she followed Jayden out of the club. She barely had time to process what had just happened before Jayden turned around to look at her, his expression dark with anger. "What the hell were you thinking?" he demanded, his voice sharp enough to cut through steel. "Jayden, I-I. Let me explain,” she said. "Don't," he snapped, holding up a hand, and she swallowed what she was about to say. "Don't even try to explain. You lied to me." "I didn't lie," she countered weakly. Jayd

Chapter 89: I'm sorry

As Zendaya followed Jayden towards the mansion, the weight of the night pressed heavily on her chest.Her heart pounded in her ears, and her stomach twisted into tight knots, and it wasn't one where she felt butterflies.It was shocking to see just how fast things had gone downhill. Just this morning, he had made breakfast for her, and they had spoken on the phone and now, he was mad at her, rightfully so.‘What the hell have I done?’ Zendaya sighed.Her mind raced as she replayed everything that had led up to this moment. From the moment she stepped into the club, the excitement of being out with Juliette and Anaya had clouded her judgment. She hadn’t meant for it to escalate like this. She didn’t expect Daniel to get so aggressive. But Jayden? She had never seen him this angry, this cold.Well, she had, but back then she didn't care too much about it. Now she did.‘I should have just listened to my gut feeling and stayed home with him.’ she sighed once more.The guilt crushed her.

Chapter 90: The night would be long

Jayden looked at the woman who was in front of him and he sighed. He was mad at her, very mad, but it was increasingly difficult to remain mad when she looked at him with those big blue eyes of hers. He would forgive her in the morning but for tonight, he needed to stand his ground so she wouldn’t repeat what had happened tonight again.As for those two sisters of his, he trusted they would be handled properly as well. Seeing that Jayden wasn’t relenting, she decided to try another way to get him to forgive her and so, she slowly approached him. The closer she got, the more her nerves threatened to overtake her, but she ignored them. This was something she had to do.Apologizing wasn’t going to cut it, and she wanted to see if he would be able to resist her charms.“What are you doing?” Jayden asked when she got to where he was.Without giving herself a chance to back out, Zendaya lifted herself onto her toes, her fingers gently brushing against his back as she leaned in, pressing
