"You wanted to tell me something", Meg asked Jake as they sat down on a bench at the park.
"Yeah, I did. But I'll tell you later. I just thought we could use to walk. We never got to walk yesterday", Jake told her.
" Yeah. I had to finish up the draft. I'm done now, anyways. Just gotta edit and finish it up.
Even though it did not turn out to be what I wanted"
" That's good. I gotta ask you a question, though", Jake said
" Yeah?"
" What are you gonna do when you're done? You came here for the book and now you're almost done. What will you do?", Jake asked her.
" I want to travel a bit. Maybe go to some place far and start over. I wanna see sights. I don't want to be in one place", Meg told him.
" Oh", Jake said, softly.
" Yeah. I've always wanted to travel around, an air hostess or a travel agent. I had a desire to back pedal around Euro
Meg walked into Jack's study, her heart in her throat. If hr turned her down today, what was she going to do?She had talked long with Juliet yesterday and she decided, if she never gave it a try, how would she know how he truly felt?She knew he wasn't the kind to show his feelings freely, so it was either she made him talk or they continued whatever arrangement they had going on.She knocked twice on the door and pushed it open."Morning", Jack said to her."Morning, Jack", Meg replied and wondered how to begin." I was just about to come and meet you. I need a favor from you", Jack told her." Yeah? "" I'm supposed to have some sort of business dinner with a few potential clients tonight and I was hoping you could accompany me", Jack explained."Oh"Well, she wanted to ask him if he was willing to go out with her to dinner. This was just
Meg walked into the Manor behind Jack in the morning.She was exhausted and pleased. Jack had made good his promise, showing her how many ways he could make her scream his name. But she hadn't gotten around to it telling him how she felt and she had to do it now.Before she lost courage."Jack, I have to tell you something""Sure, come up to my study",Jack said with a smile." Thanks for last night, Meghan", Jack said softly to her." It was amazing, Jack. Thank you too." Where he got the habit of being polite after a steamy love making, she did not know. But that did not matter right now." But I have something to confess""Yeah?"Meg sat down and faced him. Taking a deep breath to steady herself, she unfolded her palms and placed them on his table."Jack, I think I'm falling for you", she said in one breath" W
"Can we pretty please with a cherry on top focus on why I came here three weeks before your wedding?"Juliet sighed and stood up from the king sized bed."You've been moping all day and don't try to tell me no. I've known you for a long time, missus"" Probably jetlagged. Nothing more to it. I'll sleep on this comfy bed for a couple more hours and then I'll be fine"replied Meghan. It would do her no good to worry Juliet incessantly."It's a man problem, love. I know one whenever I see it and I know you're in love. But with who? Who took little miss all work and no play's heart?"Lay off, Jules. I'm not in love and I'm not bothered about any man either. I just wrapped things up early than expected and decided to make an early trip.I should have waiting until the last minute, now that I see it. Perhaps you wouldn't see me much to bug me", Meg said" I'm just worried
"I know you want me to go out with you and Leonard, Jules but I won't be a third wheel to two people who spend all the hours of the day sucking each other faces", Meg told Juliet, her hands on her hips."You don't have to be a third wheel, Meg. I'll introduce you to a few people, promise", Juliet tried placating."Oh shush. Between you and I, you'll go off in a private corner kissing your love as soon as you have the chance. Besides, I do not want to get introduced to anyone. Remember what happened two days ago?", Meg asked her.Juliet groaned."You're still holding me over that? I thought he was a perfectly nice guy. He had been courteous since we got here""You mean because your fiance has enough money to make him act appropriate? Everyone knows that if they as much as make any inappropriate gesture at you, Leo would break their fucking necks", Meg stated.Juliet sighed, her e
"Are you still with us?" Jack heard the snap of fingers in front of him and looked at who had the fingers"Yeah, I'm here""You zoned out for a moment there"" I know, dad. I was thinking", Jack replied impatiently. He had finally agreed to the board meeting but he did not agree to be snapped at."What do you think about the production line in Chelsea?",his father asked.Jack bit down on his tongue to refrain himself from replying rudely as he searched for nice words in his vocabulary. If he wanted to tell his father how he felt, his father's ego could take a bruising and Jack wasn't about to sour the sweet chance of him taking over the company. Not when he had worked tooth and skin to get a chance."I think it's a good chance, but...",he let the unspoken words lie in the air." But?', his father prompted.Inside his head, Jack smiled. At
"It's amazing, isn't it?""Now I wonder why I put up my initial argument. I should have just said "yes, please""You were giving me all that, Jules I cant accept charity bullshit,sermon"" I was trying to be independent, Sue me", Meghan said." Independent my ass. Who bumped your seat up to first class? Checked you into the hotel?", Juliet asked her" It wasn't comfortable, anyways and the people at the hotel were too stuffy and formal", Meg replied her, turning up her nose." Yet you didn't want to leave""I'll admit, being waited on hands and feet has it's perks. Who cares about the stuffy people?", Meghan said with a sighJuliet walked to the living room wall of the penthouse which was all glass."Tell me , what do you think?""It's beautiful. The view from here is crazy. I can almost touch the sky if I
Jack walked into his library and looked at the sofa for the third time that morning.Part of him, although he clearly knew that it was impossible, hoped that the second or third time he came in, he would see Meghan there.See her poring over the papers, reading with some much concentration, a smile forming on her face from time to time.He had caught glimpses of her, while she had been unaware.There were some days he had walked up to the door, his fist poised to knock but had settled for watching her through the slightly opened door.Meghan was something else, something he didn't understand. She was better than he deserved. She gave, her time and emotions to her friends.She approached life more freely than she did.How had she gone and fallen in love with someone like him.For him, she was like a burst of fresh air. Like salvation, healing if he wanted to be honest.He had allowed her to com
This is a flash back to Jack and Anna's story."I made a promise that I wasn't going back there and I wouldn't have done it, Anna. But I owed it to Micheal.He did a lot for me when I had no place to turn to.I'm fucking sorry, I swear", Jack was pleading with Anna, the boxes they had packed on their king bed."I begged you for one simple thing. One simple thing, Jack. Did I ask you for anything else? I did not. I only begged you to stay away. Let me give you another way to heal.Another way to express yourself but... " Anna replied him, rage in her eyes, tears shinning.Jack felt his heart sink.Hurting her was something he had sworn that he would never do. She had helped him, slowly and patiently brought him out of the miserable place he was.Begged for only thing and he couldn't give her.But how was he going to explain to her that he owed Micheal part of him?
