CHAPTER TWO: JEALOUSY AND QUESTIONS

ELLE’S POV

"And she has her own stuff going on, did i tell you she is very attractive”, Jack laughs as Luca joins in.

Still behind the door, I could feel my heart start to beat a little faster in my chest,He has been talking to a girl for weeks and he likes her? How come i did not know this? Is he going to ask her to be his girlfriend,? The jealousy that went through me in that moment made my heart ache badly , what did that mean for me?

I mean Jack has had Relationships or whatever they had going on with the girls he was with and that had caused me headaches before and has made me cry in bed at night because of him,

But what if the next girl is who he marries and has babies with urgh, i cannot deal with this. Maybe Claire was right its time been a long time maybe its just time i tell him.

I don't wait to hear them talk some more so i knock on the door and open.

As soon as i see Jack my heart beats happily as it always does when ever i see him,Jack is sitting on the arm chair looking good as always in his business suit, i guess he did not go home first, he probably couldn’t wait to tell Luca about this girl they were talking about, and Luca is behind his desk looking at me at the door as i come in, i should feel happy to see them but now am stressed because of what i heard, i go over where Jack is sitting and i sit on the arm of the chair that he is on and i give him a side hug.

"why are you back in town early?, i ask him with a small smile on my face.

"My meeting was brief, my assistant will finish up i had to come back early for something i have going on tonight". As he says this he looks at Luca and they share a knowing look between themselves.

"okay, as long as you promise me you are very much free tomorrow i have stuff planned for you for your birthday," i say.

And he nods at me without saying much.

"afternoon to you too my dearest sister" Luca says sarcastically.

"Oh shut up Luca i saw you this morning", i smile at him.

"Where is Claire ? He asks which surprises me because they basically ignore each other most of the time when they are around each other these days.

"You have her number don't you? How about you ask her yourself", i smirk and reply to him.

Then i look back at Jack "whats tonight"? It sound important? I ask him, he looks at me but avoids my eyes and just says " nothing important".

I know he is not telling everything and with the girl in the picture, i feel sick what if he is going on a date with the girl?, but i let it go and excuse myself i have a birthday to plan anyway so i go back home and Sam helps me with wrapping the gifts and we watch some movies while at it. We finish up and also then help mom cook dinner for the family, we always eat together and i love cooking most times. I believe myself to be a good cook.

And with Luca still being a bachelor he always just comes over for dinner when he wants to and we all eat together the benefits of living around the same neighbourhood or around the corner.

And speaking of the devil he actually shows up after we are done making the delicious food and Jack is not with him that means he went to where ever he was planning on going tonight, i am so curious and with the conversation I overheard them having today i had a bad feeling about it am sure as hell not liking where this is going at all.

After Dinner we always chat a little before everybody goes off to go to bed or wherever, it has always been a family tradition which always makes me think of the future and how I would want my own family to be like and have a person who will be this close to me and we can do everything together, of course if i had it my way i already know the perfect man to do that with .

I go to bed with questions in my head about what ever Jack was doing tonight that he couldn't say, i could check his location cause i have his but its creepy and i need to give the guy a break when he wants to talk he will tell me.

So i text him and Claire goodnight, and if he is indeed meeting a girl right now then i will be damned.

As i drifted off to sleep i just couldn’t shake the feeling that tomorrow would bring more than just birthday celebrations.
