Chapter 34 - Dylan Ashford
Dylan POV
“What is going on between you two?” Layla asks as soon as she walks through the door of my office unannounced. I need to make sure that Soraya starts doing her fucking job. This is becoming a thing now, with everyone barging in here.
I place my glasses on the table and look at her with an eyebrow raised. “What are you talking about?” I ask, pretending I have no clue what she means. I know she is asking about Jo, but honestly, I don’t know what is going on. I haven’t spoken to her in a few days. My head is spinning and after that spontaneous sexual affair with Savannah in my office, my head has been turned.
“Don’t play dumb,” she tells me as she sits in front of me, crossing her legs, and then crossing her arms in front of her chest. This girl knows how to make everyone know she is upset. “I know there’s something going on. Don’t brea

Jo POVDylan looks at me with the craziest smirk on his face, his eyes are locked on mine while he pulls the zipper of his pants up and I do the button of my jeans. I pass my hands through my hair and he smiles as he pulls me into his arms and kisses me deeply again. I close my eyes, allowing myself to melt against his strong arms.“Spend the night with me,” he asks as he kisses my neck. My eyes roll back and I arch my back, giving him better access as his hands keep me in place, pressed against his raging erection that decided to appear again.“I can’t. I am having dinner with Layla. Besides, I am staying in a hostel,” I say and he scrunches his nose.“Hostel? No, I will be booking you a hotel. I don’t want you sharing a room with random people. It’s dangerous,&r

Jo POVI turn around facing Layla which looks how I feel. Like we have just seen a ghost. I drain my wine glass and then get Layla’s and drain it after mine. “Shit,” Layla whispers, and I look at her as she puts on the fakest smile I have ever seen.“What a coincidence,” she says, and I can feel Dylan standing behind me. I don’t even dare to turn around. I don’t want to look at him so he can see the disappointment on my face.“Layla, darling, so good to see you,” the blonde says to Layla and I can see her face shifting and she is frowning now. The girl pulls Layla into a half embrace and gives her an air kiss and I can’t help but scoff. Her eyes move to me and I take a deep breath.“Is everything okay?” Dylan’s girlfriend asks, and I

Jo POVI look around the room and smile. This is the first time I am going to live alone. I never imagined I would be able to, but after everything I have been through I think it is the best decision I ever made. It’s only a small studio apartment, where the kitchen, living room and bedroom are all in the same space. The only doors I have here are the front door, the closet and the bathroom.I touch the big plant on the corner of the room near the window. I love plants and I am hoping I won’t kill it this time. I love them, but I always manage to get them killed. I sit on the couch resting my feet on the coffee table and turn the TV on. I only have to start working later.I grab my phone when it starts ringing, and I put it back down when I see the caller. Dylan. He has been calling me three times a day, and I have been ignoring him. The amount of unread

Jo POVToday is Layla’s bachelorette party. We have spent the entire day in her house getting ready. We did something low-key during the day because Mia wanted to be a part of the bachelorette party, so we had our hair done, massages, nails, and makeup. We got severely pampered, and it was great. I needed something like that.I pour a glass of champagne for me and one for Layla, but she shakes her head. I frown, looking at her. Since when does she refuse alcohol? Her eyes meet mine and all of a sudden, I understand. That’s why she didn’t have a massage. “You’re pregnant?” I question and she nods as she pulls me into. Tight embrace. My best friend is pregnant. I feel a tear rolling down my cheeks and when Layla pulls away, her smile disappears and she becomes extremely worried.“Jo, I swear I didn’t mean to hurt you,&rd

Dylan POV“I really miss you,” I whisper in a last attempt to get her back. To get her to be mine. With that, she pulls away, one hand on her chest, and one on mine as I try to get closer to her. She shakes her head and I see it in her eyes. It’s over.“No,” she says before she presses the button and I grab my jacket from the floor. She crosses her arms in front of her, blocking any attempt of contact I might try. When the door opens, not the ground floor, all eyes are on us. Jo walks out of the elevator and grabs Layla by the arm, and pulls her away from us.“You took your time,” Richard says smacking his hand on my shoulder. Fred looks at me confused, and then when he looks at Jo talking to Layla, it clicks.“Oh My God, you and number one? Seriously? What about

Jo POV“To Richard and Layla,” everyone cheers, but as soon as everyone drinks, Dylan walks away. He leans on the bar, and to my surprise, Barbie appears. I scrunch my nose as I watch her melt against him and expose herself on the counter while he takes a shot out of her body.I close my eyes for a couple of seconds and turn around. What you can’t see won’t make you hurt. Layla looks at me with her eyes wide as she pulls me. “What is she doing here?” She asks, and I shrug. I thought she was out of town. That’s what I was told. But apparently, it was a lie. Dylan’s favorite thing. Lies.“Come on, let’s dance,” Layla says, pulling me by the hand, and I realize I am still wearing Dylan’s jacket. A terrible idea comes to mind.“Give me on

Jo POVI have to say that Jonathan has surprised me. He is caring, and a good listener, and an even better dancer. His moves are incredible and we spent the entire night flirting and talking. “Excuse me for a few minutes, I need to use the lady's room,” I tell him and he nods as he brings his beer to his lips. I grab my glass and drain it before I walk through the ocean of bodies moving in the middle of the room.As usual, there’s a massive line for the lady's room and I am about to explode, so I walk past them and into the man’s bathroom. “I am sorry, I am desperate,” I shout in the room while I try to cover my eyes as much as possible as I walk into an empty stool. I look around and I feel like I am going to be sick.Why is it so hard for them to pee in the toilet and not outside? It’s like they are trying to create a pattern outside, to leave their mark. Ewww gross. I l
