I was actually expecting it because it was kind of obvious from when he asked me on the date. He was being dramatic about the whole thing and when I told Laurette, she also had the same impression as me.“I think he’s going to finally ask you out?” She let out and I could see the excitement all over her. “Are you going to accept?” She chimed in while I just looked clueless. I really didn’t know what I was going to do. Of course, I know he was going to ask me sooner or later, and I was open to giving love another chance. But after the conversation with Jackson, I started to have second thoughts. I love Jackson so much and I just don’t see myself being with another man. Even when I was mad at him, i never stopped loving him. Reed was just a welcome distraction that was now turning into a forced reality…“Hey, what’s on your mind?” Reed let out, pulling me back
Laura “Why are you not answering your calls? Who is it? Reed?” Laurette asked when she saw me end the cal for the third time. “I’m not interested in talking now, maybe later.” I simply said and she smiled. “Ohhh, I think I know who it is. It’s Reed right, you’re trying to play hard to get so he can keep chasing you. That’s nice, can’t blame a girl for trying to protect her heart.” She teased and I couldn’t help but laugh.“You’re a big clown, Laurie, why would I be playing hard to get? Would you even let me? I can’t remember the last time I had control over myself. You’re always making decisions on my behalf so how exactly do I get to play hard to get?” I quizzed and she shook her head proudly. “You’re my only sister and there’s no way I’m watching you live a boring. Until you deserve to put yourself first, I will keep making those decisions for you. We will be happy together sweet sister.” She said firmly and we both laughed it off.It was my phone ringing that stopped us. I pick
Jackson Malcom arrived early just as he said and I was ready too. I didn’t get much sleep like I planned but I made sure it was enough to calm my nerves. I got up early and dressed up just in time for his arrival. We got in the car and made our way to the court. During the drive, he started briefing me on what to expect from the judge and prosecutor, and how to go about each scenario. “Wow, I’m just realizing how much mess this is.” I let out at a point, I was already tired of the whole thing but I still had a long way to go.“Well, if today goes well, the other hearings won’t be as hard or intense. We just need to get into the head kg the judge today. Lisa and her team are going to try to manipulate things which is why we need to do all this on our part too.” He explained and though I understood him well enough, I just couldn’t stop beating myself up for ever getting myself into such mess in the first place.We continued but just then, my phone started to ring. I was so happy as I
Jackson“I really don’t know why she isn’t answering her calls?” I muttered under my breath after another futile effort to reach Laura. I have been trying to reach her for days to no avail. After Malcolm gave me the go ahead to use my phone, she was the first person that came to my mind. It has been hard staying away from her especially since the scandal broke out. But no matter how hard I tried, she wouldn’t answer her calls or return them. “Maybe she doesn’t want to talk to you then.” Malcom simply said.“That’s not true, I know her. She would never do that. Her parents probably took her phone from her, that’s the only thing I can think of right now.” I chimed in while he looked at me weirdly.“And why would they do that? Is there something going on that I don’t know but need to know about?” He quizzed and I nodded.“I didn’t tell you because I didn’t think it was necessary but she’s quite younger than me.” I replied while he shot another curious look at me.“And how young are we
LauraI let out a really deep sigh as I watched Reed’s car zoomed off. He dropped me off at home and I was finally back to myself. It was as if he suddenly stopped hypnotizing me. Our date was an intense one and it almost turned into a steamy one. Laurette did tell me he was a wild one but she didn’t tell me it was this much. I mean, every second of the date was wild and nasty, he didn’t go easy on me at all and almost passed out from the heat between us. Even when our food arrived, I found it so hard to chew and swallow, he had completely gotten to me. He made it worse with the way he looked in my eyes like I was the steak on his plate. He was ready to eat me raw right there at the table and I don’t think I would have been able to resist him. Thankfully, he didn’t.“Wow? Someone looks so flustered? Don’t tell me you guys did what I’m thinking?” Laurette’s voice suddenly rang behind me. I didn’t even know she had come out and was behind me and her sudden voice made me jerk. “Laur
Laura“How do I look?” I asked while checking out myself in the mirror and blushing hard at the beautiful picture that looked back at me.“You look perfect, my love.” That was my mom’s voice and I turned to find her peeping at me from behind.She had a big smile on her face and I could imagine how happy she was. After convincing me to forget about Jackson, she went further to make sure a date with Reed was set. I didn’t object either, I needed the distraction to get over Jackson and Reed is a good man. I wasn’t going to give him attention because of my now collapsed relationship. But that’s all ended now and I’m ready to see how things turn out.Who knows? I might just fall in love again.“I didn’t know you were there, mom. Thank you.” I chimed in while Laurette jealousy rolled her eyes. She appointed herself my personal stylist and has made sure to style me to perfection.“I think I deserve that thanks more. She literally didn’t do anything and you’re here, heaping praises on her.”
