Jack looked up from his laptop as Jake came barging into his study.
"Jake" he said in a calm tone.
Jake slapped his hands down on the table in front of him.
"Well, that was epic, man!""What are you talking about, Jake?"
"You know exactly what I'm talking about, man. Coming to the club without anyone knowing before hand, then having a public session? That was DOPE!"
Jack rolled his eyes. Jake was really hard to stop when he was on a roll.
"You're awfully hyper, Jake. Had too much caffeine this morning?", Jack asked him.
"Nah, I'm good. But it was crazy, man. Everyone's talking about you. Kayla had been passed down from Dom to Dom. You just came in and, wham!"
Jack smiled. Well, what was it they said? Master of masters?
"Where was Bryan? Didn't find him anywhere around during the session", he as
Meg stared at the document she held in her hands with disbeliefThe heck? Was this how the whole thing ended? Totally different from how it started.She had been surprised when she had read the last letter and everything did not make sense, but seeing this document?The document in her hand was a report from a doctor stating that Catherine was plagued with an illness they knew nothing of.According to the note she could read, Catherine had made up imaginary people, or in this case, lovers whom she thought were real.How the hell did the story move from romantic to downright crazy? If this was the history she was supposed to write into a book, was it still worth writing?Would people be interested in reading this? Or rather, would Jack want it?She picked up her phone and called Jake."Hey, Jake""Amor. How are you? What's up?""I
"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
