Alex’s POV
Damian and I decided to go to a new Club Downtown. My other two best friends and Damian were already in, but I had to wait another half hour after my coffee shop date.
Probably after tonight I will have to change the place where I am buying my coffee because I am not planning to see her again. From the moment she saw me to the moment we got to the Club she talked without any interruptions, I think I got a headache. I’m not going to bother to take her home, she is too much.
I was checking out the crowd when I saw Josephine Jackson smiling at one of her friends. I really can’t take my eyes off her. Everything inch of my body is screaming to go to her, but I can’t do that. She has to come to me. She saw me, her blue eyes are now glued to mine in an intensive staring contest.
Damn it, the coffee shop
Alex’s Pov I waited until her figure disappeared inside the building. I can’t believe I let her go home without me. Based on how her body responded to my hold, I have a feeling that if I continued to kiss her, she would had stopped being stubborn and spend the night with me. Well what can I do now? I got tricked by her puppy eyes. “Alex please I can’t do this, I am not like the girls you sleep with, I don’t do FUN SEX, I am damaged, I am not ready for you” this words are going to hunt me forever. I sighed and shake my head to get rid of the memory. I got home late, another night waisted. It’s already 2:30 in the morning. I went to take a shower, I need to to calm down this body who desperately wants her.. her fragrance is still lingering on my cl
Jo’s POV “Trust me, Alex was sober”. I rubbed my temple while I stepped out from the elevator. “Good morning Ma’am”, Lily’s cheerful voice greets me while she is handing me my coffee. “Good morning, Lily “ I greet her back with a smile. “I put your mail on your desk already “she tells me quickly just before I open my office door. A contend smile appeared on my lips, I like working with her she is the best secretary I ever had. My eyes finds quickly a vase with a huge bouquet of white roses placed on my desk. I moved dumbfounded to the desk to grab the card and read it. “ Just because -A” . I can’t believe Alex sent me flowers, I love them. White roses have always been my favorite and I am wondering if he actually knows that or if it is just a coincidence.
Jo’s POV I stormed out the building rushing to my car. I opened the door quickly and I slide in, throwing my bag on the passenger seat. Right now, I have mixed feelings, I am relieved that the meeting went well, but my blood is boiling inside. I looked behind me at least ten times to see if he is coming after me, I wish he had. I want to scream my frustration, I want to ask him the question that bothers me for a while now “why I can’t be loved?” I sighed for the nth time, I need to get out of here, I need to relax, to sleep, I need to forget. My phone started ringing and I am not in the mood to answer, but I slowly took it out, I have to admit I still hope it’s him. Olivia ’s name pops on my screen and I picked up the call. I t
Alex’s POV Probably at some point I am going to kill Damien, for dragging me here, but right now I have to admit this place is Heaven. I took a sip of my Bahama Mama cocktail while I am enjoying the sunset from my hammock. I like the sound of the waves washing the shore, I like how they never give up, coming again and again. I inhaled the salty breeze, it’s so peaceful here. I can sense the calm before the storm I checked the time and it’s still early, she has a late flight and I still don’t know what I want to do. A part of me wants to have this woman, to make her mine, she denied me and she challenged me to pursue her and what can I say, I kind of like it. I am used with women who are fighting for my attention, who throw themselves at my feet but not her and probably that’s why I am acti
Jo’s POV The sun is bathing the room and I struggle to open my eyes, I am afraid that everything was just a dream. The side of the bed where he stayed last night it’s cold and I can’t help feeling disappointed. I hope everything was real. As I move to his side his perfume it’s still lingering on the pillow and now I know for sure he was here. I closed my eyes and I inhaled his scent, if I can’t be with him at least I can enjoy his smell a little bit longer. I checked my phone and I have a message from Sam: “Hey, Good morning! Call me” I don’t want to leave the bed but I know sooner or later I have too. I dialed Sam’s number who picked up instantly. “Hey, Good morning “ I said lazily.
Jo’s POV I am going downstairs for dinner. After crying the whole afternoon, I realized that everything happened because of me. Now I had two options to lay low or to show him what he lost or better said what he could have had. Anyway after changing my mind several times I chose the third option: Be myself. I am wearing a green midi backless dress that embrace my body perfectly. A little revealing, but not to much. I look classy in a sexy way. My blond wavy hair it’s loose on my back and I think I put a little bit too much of make up. But who cares, tonight I am myself, better said my new self. The one who laughs, who flirts, who dances and most of it who pretends that everything is perfect. Yeah that’s me Josephine Jackson and my world is pretty perfect. As I am coming down the stairs I can see Damien’s eyes getting wide o
Jo’s POV “Come on, let’s get you to bed, it’s getting late” he told me softly, waking towards the hotel, but I am not moving. I still have no idea what I am going to do but going to bed it’s not something I consider. I have a feeling that “get you to bed” it’s not close to what I have in mind. Blame his eyes, his dimples, his God body, blame my hormones, I want him. I can’t get him out of my mind. All I want is to touch me, to kiss me, I want one of those passionate nights that everyone has at least once in life. I don’t care if I am acting like a spoiled child, I really don’t. Right now I wish I had more experience, I wish I knew how to make myself more available, to make him under
Jo’s POV After our encounter with Michael and Robert everyone decided that it was time to called off the night. I looked around and see my friends happy and I feel a little jealous of their happiness. Sam is holding Damien’s hand and she giggles every time he says something to her. Olivia is with Josh smiling at each other, they do look cute together. Andrea is telling Matt something and I hope they end up together. Matt seems really nice and she deserves a nice guy. I, on the other hand, I am walking behind them. Alex hasn’t said anything to me after talking to Michael. He hasn’t even look at me and I wonder what happened, between them, what Michael said that he ignores me completely. I am
