JADEThe questions the doctor wanted to ask were routine questions. I’ve been through this multiple times with the other doctor back in Palm Springs, that it pretty much felt like a walk in the park.It doesn’t matter how many times she told Atlas he wasn’t needed there. He refused to leave.“I know you’re a busy man, alpha. Don’t stress yourself.”“I’m good.” The last time hr replied, he sounded extremely irritated I think it scared her into pretending he wasn’t there for the rest of the exam.“Beta Andrew said he is going to come with me to the the results.” I didn’t; know if that was supposed to be question, though it was directed towards Atlas and we both turned to him. He nodded at her. His eyes remming on me.I squirmed under the intensity of his gaze. There was something in his eyes that I could’t explain. Like he had something important to say but a part of me knew he wouldn’t being whatever it is up. The doctor packed up and left with a nod in my direction and an ‘alpha’ to A
JADE“What… what are you talking about?” I stuttered, my eyes narrowing as I waited for Ray to reply. She didn’t just say what I think she just did. “He didn’t.” She only said, her voice breaking as she shook her head. I took in another deep breath in before exhaling then I looked down. My eyes closing on their on. My head was pounding, like a sledgehammer was taken to my skull over and over again.And Ray looked like she was about to have a mental breakdown. I opened my eyes and hugged her tighter, rocking us together. Even though my mind was running with many possibilities, I knew one thing for sure. Something else was at play here. Something is wrong. She wouldn’t be crying like this if it was nothing. Or if she only lied about the kidnapping. I was worried about one thing. “Ray, are you okay? Did anyone hurt you? If they hurt you, you’ll tell me, right?” Emotion clogs my throat, making my voice breaking. Ray met my eyes, hers bloodshot and teary and she shook her head. “Why
JADEThe results did come until the next morning. After we’d had dinner, quite late, Ray asked if we wanted to watch a movie. It was her way o saying she would like company without actually uttering the words so I agreed. After all she said, I know there is a lot on her mind and she still isn’t ready to talk about it. Or maybe something is holding her back. It was all too much and my mind was too occupied right now. With the results and what it may hold.Atlas joined us, though I guessed he just wanted to sit there. He wasn’t even watching the movie, his mind was fully on his phone. And I know this because I found myself stealing glances at him more often than not.The elephant in the room was so big, but we all ignored it. And I couldn’t relate what I felt just then to bliss. Because ignoring the problem. Definitely did not make it disappear.Like the fire in the apartment Atlas had been staying in. It was put out, yes. But he had’t even bothered to go back there. It was like he knew
ATLASI wasn’t a sex addict, not by far. But not being with Jade for just a few days mad eye feel like an addict experiencing withdrawals. And then having her that close, only for us to be interrupted. I could barely focused as I waited for her to come out of the bathroom. And try as I might, I couldn’t get my mind out of the gutter.Imagining her touching herself, fixing the problem we didn’t know was going to be one.Fuck. Couldn’t Ray have picked a better time to interrupt? I groaned in my throat and got up form the bed. The bathroom door opened just as I got up and Jade walked out wearing only a towel, her hair was wet. She took a shower.I didn’t know when I grained loudly. “are you trying to torture me, babe?”She blushed, her entire face turning red before she muttered a small sorry and quickly slipped into the closet. I headed to the bathroom, and the setting was exactly like the one in the apartment I owned. The only difference was the colour, this was light blue and it had s
JADEHe didn’t have to tell me, I waited until he got dressed and then we walked out together, hand in hand. If it wasn’t for his hand in mine, gently guiding me forward, I don’t I would have been able to walk on my own.And it is not even that. The crippling anxiety at the thought of hearing something bad made me want to burst into tears. Almost like he could hear my thoughts, Atlas squeezed my hand. I looked up and saw he was looking down at me with worried eyes. It became clear then that he might not be able to hear my thoughts but he could feel every one of my emotions. And worry and fear were the most prominent.“You don’t have to do this if you don’t—““I can.” I cut him off even before he finished because I didn’t want to think of anything else. If I say no right now, I’ll never be Abel to say yes. And I owe it to my baby to do the right thing. Which is find out if there will be be any problems and if there will be a solution. “I can do it.”He nods and gives my hand another sq
ATLASRay forced me and Jade to sit down as she explained all the reasons why she should be the Godmother. The first things eh said was.“There is no other option. I’m your sister who loves you so much and can’t breathe without you.” Then she ended with. “Please let me have it.” In a sobbing voice.“I’ll think about it.” Jade had replied with, trying hard to keep a straight face.“Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” She went of running and screaming at the top of her lungs. I turned to Jade when she was to or earshot and she smiled a little.“You already wanted to ask her, didn’t you?” She nodded immediately and I shook my head, trying to hide my own laughter.We stared at each other for a moment, not saying anything. Not even thinking anything. Well, I olden’t exactly say so for Jade but she didn’t look like she had much on her mind. She looked relaxed, and I could feel her calm energy through our bond. I decided there would never be a perfect time to ask her this, so I might as well d
ATLASJade was the first to look up when we entered the house. Ray was still busy scrolling through the iid she was holding. Checking baby thing I presume. It has quickly become her favourite activity to pass the time. I don’t think I have seen her drop that iPad since we found the gender of the baby out.I nodded at Jade, doing everything to hod myself back from walking over there and kissing her. She got up and my heart jumped, when she was within arm’s reach, I couldn’t hold myself anymore. I pulled her loser and crashed my lips over hers. I got lost in her taste that it took Andrew clearing his throat for me to release her. Her cheeks were heated which somehow made e proud. Knowing I could get that kind of reaction from her with just a kiss.He headed to the kitchen and we followed after him. My arm slung around Jade’s waist. I couldn’t help thinking how perfect she fit beside me. She was tailor-made for me. It is shocking to think it took me this long to realise. I was a fucking
JADEWe spent two more days in the apartment. We didn’t do much, just sat around and enjoyed each other’s company. It was like the clam before the storm. I didn’t know what the storm was. But there was this voice in the back of my head telling me the peace wasn’t going to last.We were in bed with Atlas that night when he said the four words I have been expecting since the second night here.“We need to leave.” It was said in the dark, almost like he didn’t want to say the words. Knowing saying it was pretty much ending whatever peaceful moment we are having here. The real word awaited and it wasn’t pretty pout there. Especially now that we knew there was someone that wanted to hurt out baby.“I know.” I replied, snuggling closer to him, like I wanted to enter his skin.His hand was on my hip, his fingers drawing circles mindlessly. It wasn’t much, doing this, but I always went to sleep craving his touch, he never takes it far. Only kisses me goodnight, until I’m fighting for air, the
