"You love... me?" He asked unbelievably and gestured by hitting himself across the chest
"Of course, I do. I love you" I repeated
"You truly love me?"
"Yes, I love Jason's Stokes, my arrogant but childish CEO"
He picked me up instantly and started circling with a wide smile splattered on his face and put me back down after the sixth round.
He put his mouth on mine the moment my foot touched the ground and said "I love you too" into my mouth.
He stopped kissing me after some seconds and rushed out of my office into the hallway. I followed him and wondered what was going on
"Lexi Tyler is my girlfriend! I'm her boyfriend!" He screamed
People started rushing out of their office to see what was going on in the hallway
"I love her! And she loves me!"
I was ashamed by his childish behavior but there was nothing I could do but to smile when everyone was smiling and waving at me.
He moved to where I was stand
I woke up due to Jason's phone that had been ringing repeatedly for sometimes and tapped him to wake up"I know, it's my dad""Pick it up""I don't want to. I know what he wants to talk about" he said sadly"Is it about me?""Why will he be talking about my beautiful princess?" He said, gave me a peck on the cheek while his phone stopped ringing "Good morning love""Good morning"His phone started ringing again and Jason's face lighten up with an idea"Let's do something" he said"What?""You're going to pick this phone up and tell Dad that I'm still sleeping""I'm not doing that""Of course you will""Why will I ?""Because I told you too, I'm your boss""This isn't job related""Are you complaining?""Asshole"He smirked at me since he knew that he won the argument and handed me his phone"Hello" I said into the phone"Put it on speaker" Jason w
Although, Jason wasn't happy with the fact that I was going to be away for a day, he still dropped me off with a long loving kiss.I took out the pregnancy test as soon as I was in my room, read and followed the instructions, and sat in front of my clock for five longest and scariest minutes that was going to determine my futureAfter five minutes, I took out the pregnancy test with my heart ringing in my ears and looked for the signs.Lo and behold, I was pregnant because there were two strong lines staring back at me and I blinked twice to confirm that I wasn't dreaming.I was scared and sad on one side because I knew Judith wouldn't be too happy with me because she had always talked about how glorious and wonderful my wedding day will be and two, what if Jason don't want kids.And on the other hand, I was happy that a life was growing in me. A life that I and Jason made.I dropped the pregnancy test and went to my mirror, pulled up my top and c
JASON STOKES"Mr Stokes, the car is now sitting peacefully in your garage" Jada said"And what about Lexi?" I asked"She is still not reachable""Then, make her be! Do something! I'm not paying you for excuses!""We're doing everything in our power Mr Stokes" she said calmly and professionally and that made me felt bad for her."She ought to have been here since four hours ago!""Sir, I'm working on it""Tell me exactly what you're doing, stop telling me you're doing something""I've sent one of the securities guard to her house to check what is happening""Give me a tangible reason why you couldn't go there by yourself""Because, I was waiting for the delivery of the car""Just get out of my office. Now!"
JASON STOKESI angrily pulled up in front of my parents house and went in with the madness that had descended on me since I've knew that Dad was the one to be blamed for Lexi's disappearance."Sweetie!" My mom said as soon as she saw me but I ignored her and headed to dad's office instead where I knew he was going to be"Jason what is wrong?" Mom asked"Mom stay out of this" I barked and entered dad's office"Jason" dad called calmly and smiled "it's nice to finally see you in person""Where is Lexi?" I asked him as calm as I could be in that situation"What are you talking about? Who is Lexi?"I closed my eyes and inhaled in air heavily to calm myself down more"Dad, we both know who I'm talking about, so, stop playing dumb and tell me where she is""That bitch couldn't
Jason StokesTWO MONTHS LATER"Mr Stokes! Mr Stokes" Jada called while tapping me"Huh""Good morning. The meeting wil be starting in one and the half hours""And?""And you've to be in the office earlier to sign some crucial documents related to the meeting"I sluggishly got out of bed and mistakenly kicked a bottle of an half drank beer. That have been my routine lately"Again" Jada snapped"I'm sorry" I said on my way to the restroomWe got to the garage and I staggered to where Lexi's car was"I would have given you the world if that was what you wanted" I thought before staggering back to my car"Are you sure you can drive?" Jada asked me"I get this" I replied----------
JASON STOKESI still couldn't believe what Carl told me on the phone as I was speeding to the address he texted me."Lexi was pregnant" I thought "so, she was living a romantic life while I on the other hand was living a platonic one"I packed my car at the junction and started trekking to the address since a car couldn't go in and that make me started wondering why Lexi would leave me for a guy that was living in a slum.After trekking for good fifteen minutes, I finally got to the address. I checked my wristwatch and the time was 11:16pm.I stood in front of the door for few minutes, took a very long breath and readied myself for whatsoever might be waiting for me.After knocking on the door, I waited for some minutes before I finally heard some footstep
The Jason that I met last night was different from the Jason that was driving me back to the city. This Jason was cold and the distance between us could be felt even though we were sitting side by side in the car. I turned on the radio to feel the presence of human but Jason turned it off without saying a word, or taking his eyes off the road. So, I opened the window instead and closed my eyes as the morning breeze blew into the car.We've been on the road for the past three hours and I was already starving but I didn't know how to bring it up since Jason wasn't in a good mood"We should eat something before we continue our journey" Jason said fifteen minutes later when we came across a restaurant and I got out of the car without saying a word because I was scared of saying the wrong word.I ordered breakfast burrito while Jason ordered bacon, egg and cheese sandwich.We got back to the car twenty minutes later and the silence once again descended a
Jason dropped me off at my sister's house as early as five on Tuesday morning and I could already feel my sister's pain before entering the house.I knocked on the door for almost five minutes before I finally heard her footsteps. She opened the door and I could tell that she just woke up because of how red her eyes were.She stared at me for sometime and rubbed her face twice before calling my name quietly "Lexi"Her voiced cracked and she aged ten years more"Lexi, is that you?""Yes" I replied"My Lexi? Are you my Lexi?""Yes, sis. It's me""My Lexi" she cried and hugged me "My Lexi" she cried louder"Sis""Why Lexi? Why?" She said between tears"I'm sorry""You left without even thinking of me""I'm sorry"She released me from her tight hug and started checking me out as if something might be missing"The real?""Yes, the real""But you're fatter""
