View MoreLucas’ POVA few weeks later.Coming back to Atherton felt strange as I drove through the quiet neighborhood. It was still the same. Not that I was expecting any major change, seeing I have not been around for a short amount of time. Also, I wanted to surprise Jackie today. The last time I saw her was after the day she left the hospital, and I was excited to see her. I needed to be around her now that she was going to go into labor any day from now.As I got close to our house, my chest tightened. As much as we were being careful with our current state of relationship, I was nervous of what she would think of me coming back or at least staying with her for a few days. I was glad that I told her to stay in our home instead of staying with Andrea so it would be easy for me to come see her without someone holding a knife to my back. I was actually happy that Jackie had people who were there for her, despite the history between the three of us.I arrived and slowly parked in front of the
Jackie’s POVI cannot believe Darrell would do this to me. How could he do such a thing without my permission? All because I rejected him. It hurt that I was always unlucky with friends that I made. Darrell was backstabbing me and using his influence as the son of a wealthy family to hurt me. I worked so hard with Andrea and mom to get that store and he was trying to sabotage it?Now, Lucas was heading to do lord knows what. I knew what he was capable of doing and I had a feeling he was going to hurt Darrell badly. I wished he could stop as he was the owner of an up-and-coming company, he didn’t need to do any more dirty work as much as Darrell deserved to be punched into unconsciousness.I leaned against my pillow and sighed. My ears perked up when the door opened, and I hoped it was Lucas, but my hope shattered when I saw Mrs. Hamilton walk into the room. The room suddenly felt small and airtight. I sat upright as she approached me with a blank look on her face. I wished I could rea
Jackie's POVI was excited and worried at the same time. I was excited because my business made the list, and I was worried because this was not from an already established business. Not that I did not trust Lucas but knowing that there were a lot of people behind my business, I didn't want any problem that would bring disappointment.Which made me remember that Andrea nor mom liked Lucas at the moment, and he was the one sponsoring my business? How was I going to break the news to them? This was too much right now and I really didn’t want to say anything, but they deserve to know, all three of them.“I just got an email from the company.”I broke the tension in the car and all he did was hum. I knew he was pissed off and I didn’t want anything to piss him off more.“What company?”I swallowed, wondering how I was going to answer the question, knowing the object of his anger was the CEO of the company.“Nexon Wealth Management.”“Wasn’t the investment company Hamilton Inc?”I chuckled
Jackie’s POVHow was Lucas’ mom here? What business did she have with the people here? Was she friends with one of the women or knew Darrell’s mom? I was not comfortable with what I was seeing or the sudden change of atmosphere. My heart was beating fast as I felt like I was caught doing something bad.“Uh… Jackie. My name is Jackie,” I said, replying to her question and the women awed while she kept a blank face on.“You have such a beautiful name.”“She is really pretty.”“Prettier in person.”I shook my head internally at the words the women were uttering and smiled. I glanced at Darrell when he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer to his side. His behavior confused me, but I ignored it and kept smiling.“She is indeed, and I am very happy to have her in my family.”A woman, looking in her fifties with long black hair and a red dress rose from her seat, smiling. I could see a small resemblance on her face. She looked like Darrell a little bit and I knew at that m
Jackie’s POVLucas kissing me until my heart melted and body ignite in flames made me crazy for more. With one hand on my hip and the other cupping my cheek. He was kissing me as if I was glass that would break if he was not careful and that healed a part of me and made me feel safe with him in that moment.Soon after, he pulled away from my lips, leaving a small space between our lips. I wanted more from him to the point I gripped his shirt and pulled him closer, making him scoff a smile. He cleared his throat and took a step back, putting a huge space between us. He smiled at me and all I could see his defiance in his eyes. He didn’t want to leave me.“Uh… Do you want to dance more?” He asked and I shook my head.“I want to eat more.”Lucas beamed and rushed over to the table. He pulled out my seat and I giggled before walking over to the seat. I sat down on it and he poured more raspberry juice into my cup then plated more food on my plate. I picked up my spoon and took a bite whil
Chapter’s Soundtrack It’ll Be Okay By Shawn Mendes.Jackie’s POVThe sight of the woman before me made me feel so small. She had the most intimidating aura and her dress sense let me know that she was not just a random girl and if I was a guy, I would ask her out right this instant. Heck, I understood if Lucas left me for her. She was perfect.“Jackie?”I blinked and flushed from embarrassment when I realized that I had my mouth hanging open. I closed it and cleared my throat then faced Jared who was smiling like an idiot. I glared at him before looking sideways at Maddie when she drew out a seat and sat down.“Hi,” she said and stretched out her hand for a shake.I smiled and shook her hand then dropped it on the table. We were silent for what seemed to be an eternity before Jared burped.“Look, can you be normal for one second? Just one… if one is too much for you, half a second then,” Maddie said with plea heavy in her voice.I didn’t even know when I burst out laughing. It was pro
Jackie’s POVI barely slept a wink last night when my head was full of Lucas and my relationship with him. I felt like my high school self when I met Lucas. Butterflies in my belly and heart fluttering. Stupid absentminded smile throughout the night and head empty, just Lucas. I needed to control myself or it was the hormones making me act the way I was being. I was certain it was my pregnancy hormones. I wanted his touch on my body, ever since he left. Something about getting him to fuck me, to make me come undone from his touch burned inside me.I sighed from frustration when I started to throb from the images of a shirtless Lucas, standing before me with his muscular upper body displayed for me to look at with him in gray sweatpants that would be low on his hips, those hips that I found sexy, especially when his V-line was showing.“Damn it,” I said under my breath and slowly got out of bed, dispelling the images of Lucas. “Get a hang of your damn self.”Someone knocked on my door,
Jackie’s POVAfter he explained everything, I was left feeling as if my tongue was heavy. Lucas just told me everything that I wanted to hear and I was still feeling conflicted. I was happy though. Happy that he was not with her, that he was still in love with me. It made me feel a relief in me but our relationship was too much for me to handle because—“Jackie?”I blinked and turned my head to stare at him. He was giving me a small smile while he looked at me. I took my time to admire his face. He was still the same good looking guy I fell for. His beautiful blue eyes was still the same pretty eyes I love to look at, his perfect full yet arched brows, and those slightly thick lips that shielded a perfect row of white teeth. Looking at him, he looked more mature, with whispers of beards around his jawline. The more I stared, the more I could see the stress in his eyes.“Lucas?” I barely knew I was saying his name until he hummed and I blinked in realization.“What is it?” He asked and
Jackie’s POVI chose not to make a move. Maybe if I don’t move, he won't speak again.“Jackie.”I shut my eyes, praying he stopped and let me walk away. I did not have the strength or mind to face him, I was still getting over the shock of seeing him again. I was between a rock and a hard place right now; I wanted to lash out at him or walk away. This was not how I expected us to meet again.My back straightened when I heard him walking toward me. I held the straps of my bag tightly when his body entered my line of sight then he stood in front of me. I looked down at our feet and swallowed.“Look at me, please,” he said, and I bit my lip. “How are you here and—-”“What kind of question is that?” I asked, cutting him off. “Look, I have places to be and being here with you isn’t one of them.”“Please,” he said, taking a step closer and somehow blocking my lane to the door. “Please, can we talk? I have so much to explain to you and—”“What do you have to explain? No, tell me. Would sayin
