"So you are going on a date with Jake?" Joe asked for the tenth time today and I gave her my same reply, for the tenth time today.
"It is not a date." I replied her as I emphasized on the 'not'.
"Oh, please shut up." She rolled her eyes as she stirred the sauce in the pot. Joe returned back to the apartment this morning some minutes after Jake left. Apparently she did not only have dinner with Philip and her colleagues, but she also slept in his house and they both fucked. Again.
They should just get back together already. They both can not keep their hands off each other. I am so sure they have done it on his office desk or maybe even hers.
Eewww.
"What? It is true. We are not going on a date." She gave me the spoon to taste the sauce. "Mmhn." I gave her a thumbs up.
"It is good right?" She asked eargerly.
"Yes." I grinned at her but nevertheless added a little more pinch of salt.
"Cou
"She is going to make you both late on your first day of school." My mom gave me a pitiful smile as she handed me a plate of sandwhich and coffee.I gave her a grateful smile and then shrugged, "it's not the first time she will make me late on the first day of school," I adjusted the huge frame of glasses, "or any other day for that matter." I took a bite from the sandwhich."Arielle! You're going to make your brother late!" My mom shouted as she placed another plate of sandwhich and coffee on the island."I'm coming! Almost done!" She shouted back.That's what she said ten minutes ago.My mom sighed as she rolled her eyes and then proceeded to wash the dishes. "That's what she said ten minutes ago." My mom muttered as she continued scrubbing the plate under the running tap.I laughed to myself, we just said the same thing.
CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVENI was still excited about the whole engagement when I woke up in the morning. I woke up with a huge smile on my face."Baby." He called when I kept smiling at my hand where my ring was placed."Hmm" I answered not looking up."We need to talk" This, caught my attention."Is something wrong?" He shook his head No, "Everything is great we just need to make some decisions before the dinner tonight." He explained."Ok. What is it?" I asked."When do you want us to get married?" He asked me."I honestly don't care. Anytime you're ready" I answered honestly."Tomorrow then?" He said. I laughed."Really? Jake" I was still laughing."Just kidding. I just want to make you my wife so fast. I can do it now if possible." He said. "Pick any da
CHAPTER FIFTY SIXThe drive home was really quiet because I didn't know what to say. This is not me. I hate this new person that I am becoming. I've never been the insecure type. Why did the thought of wearing a dress so beautiful terrify me? Maybe because I did not want to embarrass Jake for his meeting tonight. Very close to the house Jake placed his right hand on my thigh and gave me a gentle squeeze. I turned to find him looking at me.“You're beautiful love and I love every inch of you” God no. Does he know what I was thinking?“Thank you” I forced out not wanting to act like this anymore.“I had plans for dinner as a surprise but we will just eat in today” He confessed. So there wa no meeting. I smiled.“I appreciate it, Jake,” I told him.“You’re the best thing that ever happened to me” My cheeks grew redder each second he complimented me. &nbs
CHAPTER FIFTY FIVE“Shouldn't we call your mum to bring the kids?” I asked when I stayed in each other arms.“She has them for a week” He replied, the vibration of his thick, deep voice tickling my ears.“I didn't pack their bag for a week Jake” I groaned not liking the idea of my children not being with me for this long. This would be the first time this ever happened.“I’ll do that” He offered. I laughed and got away from him.“Thanks for the offer but you and I both know that you wouldn't be able to do that,” I said standing up to walk to the bathroom. I winced in pain. I quickly sat back down.“Fuck” I mutter realizing how sour I am.Jake moved closer to me and placed his hands on my shoulders.“A massage?”
‘’Really?’’ I asked trying so hard to hide my excitement from him.‘’Yes love’’ He answered with a smile. He drops his hands to my waist letting them linger on my butt. I did not say anything about this because I really did miss his touch and having so much of his time like this. It should not be like this but I guess that’s what having children can do to you. I smiled as I looked up at him.‘’I love you so much Maria’’ He whispered with a look of pride in his eyes. I blushed so had under his gaze.‘’I love you too’’ I said back to Jake.‘’No, tell me you love me’’ He begged. I chuckled at his request but obliged.‘’I love you’’ I said to him truly. I really miss this, having him in my arms and just being with each other.
Yes, it went badly. I was supposed to spend thirty minutes max, but no, the woman decided to keep me for an extra hour and theiry minutes. I spent two fucking hours! Two fucking whole hours sitting in a coffee shop, with an old woman who I haven't seen since I was probably five or six. Now imagine eeveything that has happened in here life since then. She decided it was just the right time to tell me everything that has happened in her life, her make son's life- who is about my age range and her grandchildren life.I exhaled loudly as I opened my car door and then got out of the car as I made my way back inside the house with the huge brown envelope. I brought out my phone from my back pocket and then dialed my mom's number as I entered into the elevator."Hey mom.""Maria! How are you?""I'm fine. I'm good. I already got your envelope." I rested against the wall of the elevator as I pressed the button to the top floor."Oh t
