Jo’s POV
We got to the car in no time and Alex started driving to an unknown destination. I am curious to see what he has in mind for tonight.
“So Sweetheart what is you want to know about me?” Alex asked me suddenly and I don’t know what is the first thing I want to know.
“Why do you always send me white roses”
I hear myself saying. It’s not something personal and I do have other questions, but let’s start with an easy one.
Alex looks at me surprised, I don’t think that was something he ever thought I was going to ask him.
“Well because I read an article about you and you stated that white roses were your favorite flowers. I was trying to impress you, did that work?” He said smiling.
“Yeah actually it
Thank you for reading! Thank you for the gems! Leave your comments for improvement! I appreciate you. Hugs and kisses
Jo’s POV “ I really want to come with you, Sweetheart, but I promised myself that I would be a completely gentleman and take things slow.” Alex told me holding my hand. “Good night then” I said putting my innocent smile, after pecking his cheek. I was trying to hide my disappointment. Coming upstairs would have been the perfect ending for this amazing night. But who knows maybe it’s better this way. “Fuck my manners” Alex said grabbing my waist and forcing his lips on mine. A moan, I couldn’t hold, escaped from my throat making him smirk. “Let’s go” Alex added and I really don’t know if I can behave in the elevator. Too bad there are security cameras everywhere… Alex tighten his grip while I am
Jo’s POV It’s been a month since me Alex and I had our first date. Everything between us is great. That gives me hope to dream about our future together. We decided to take it slow, every day as a new day, a new step to consolidate our relationship. Every week we go out, most of the time alone and I can’t believe how alike we are. We went to the park to see Romeo and Juliette and had a picnic on the grass, we went to comedy stand up shows but my favorite date was the one were we walked on the beach staring at the moon, holding each other reminding me of our first night together. The nights we stay home we try to enjoy each other while we are catching up our work. It doesn’t meter if we stay inside or go out the attraction between us is incre
Jo’s POV I found Alex and Sam together in the kitchen. Alex was leading towards my kitchen counter with his arms across his chest, while Sam was saying something, all flustered, in the middle of the kitchen, but I couldn’t hear a thing. Time to time Alex was giving her killer looks but he didn’t say anything which made me more curious.I was wondering what they could argue about, as far as I knew they were not big fans to each other.“Hey, I was looking for you” I said smiling looking at Alex. I can see the shock on their face, definitely they were not expecting me. “What’s going on?” I asked but for some reason I don’t want to know the truth. “Sam and I were just talking&rd
Jo’s POV I am currently sitting in my new office having a cup of coffee and trying to have a ME time moment. I am exhausted, it’s been a hectic couple of weeks.One clause of the City Court contract required that JJ Consulting have a security room for storage the files with sensitive content.I didn’t get where I am today with things done half way, so I went and bought a new building and had one floor completely transformed into a security access level.I had entry points with fingerprint access and security cameras with surveillance 24/7. Jonathan made sure I had everything new,high tech up and running.The cases we had so far we managed to handle successf
Jo’s POV “Okay, let’s see. If I was hiding money…where would I hide them. I’ll hide them in plain sight so nobody would think about looking. It should be obvious ”I am pacing back and forth in my office.I decided to cancel all my meetings and take care of the cases, without any disruptions. I think I slept four hours in the last week but I least I am catching up with my work.I brushed my hand nervously through my hair exhausted. “Come on Jo, Focus where would you hide the money?” I said out loud.“Maybe if you get some sleep, you’ll be able to focus” Lily’s voice distracted me“I am sorry did I scared you?” Lily asked m
Jo’s POV Without thinking twice I turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. The files I was holding tight fell with a laud bang scattering everywhere. For a moment my heart forgot how to beat and my mind forgot how to dream. Flashes of my past were coming back rushing, making me loose my balance for a second. First time I listened to my guts I walked into my bedroom and found my husband having sex with another woman. Now after almost 3 years the story repeats itself. My guts were pushing me to face the truth. The man I love was being pleasured by another woman. The image of Alex half naked sitting on the leather couch with Ashley kneeled between his legs, satisfying him, will hunt me forever. I can’t stop wondering for a second if what’s happening to me is fair. Why do I always love and get disappointme
Alex’s POV “Get out” I yelled at this bitch, frustrated. It seems she was happy with the fact Jo walked in on us. Who does she think she is, just because we had some fun, I would run back to her arms? It’s not even that attractive or good in bed… I sighed pushing Ashley away.I pulled on my pants and I went running after Jo. How the hell I could be so stupid? Why I never thought that I could lose her?I should have known at some point Jo was going to catch me or find out I was sleeping around.I honestly thought that Sam was going to be the one to tell Jo about my extracurricular activities, but after the encounter at Olivia’s party I realized I was safe. Sam carried to much of Jo to break her heart.
Jo’s POV I closed my eyes and sipped from my coffee. I will never get bored waking up to this. The sun was caressing gently the plantation of the grapevine, who was now set up proudly in front of me.With Gabby’s help I’ve managed to revive the grape plants. We worked hard but soon we can start collecting them. Now, we have everything planned to the smallest detail, I put all my grief in work, that’s what I know, that’s what I do.It’s been three months since Alex broke my heart and I still cry to sleep. Sometimes I have this dreams where Alex holds me in his arms telling me not to worry, that nothing happened, that everything was a bad dream, but after that Ashley app
