Jackson I was only trying to protect Laura by not telling her the full details of what really happened between Jane and I. She wouldn’t be able to take it and I don’t want her hurting. That was why I didn’t give in to her request to get intimate in the night. It felt like I’d be taking advantage of her and I couldn’t bring myself to do that. Until everything is completely resolved, there would be no intimacy and if it never gets resolved, then I’m just going to walk away and move on for good. That was the decision I made and I’m going to stand by it. “Thank you, John, you can have the rest of the day off.” I said to my driver as he pulled the car to a halt. There was no more reason to stay back in Laura’s city so after she left in the morning, I also parked my things and left. I went there for her after all, and I didn’t want her rebelling against her parents because of me.I got into the house and was shocked to see Lisa waiting there in the living room. She got up the moment sh

Laura“Laura honey!” I heard my mom calling me but I pretended not to. I was still pissed at her and wasn’t ready to make peace with her. “Honey!!!” She called out again and this time, my door opened and she hurried in. I looked at her and then looked away, making sure my disinterest was obvious. I was hoping she would get the hint and just leave me alone.“I know you’re still in your mood but you really need to see this. I just came across the pictures online and you just have to see it.” She let out and then hurried to join me on the bed.I still wasn’t interested in whatever she had to say or show me but I just had to give her the attention. That’s the only way I can get her out of my space.“Here,” she chimed in and then handed me the phone.I rolled my eyes as I looked at the screen only to get shocked out of my mind. “What?!” I didn’t know when I exclaimed.I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing. “No, he can’t do this. There’s no way my Jackson did this.” I blurted out wh

LauraI let out a really deep sigh as I watched Reed’s car zoomed off. He dropped me off at home and I was finally back to myself. It was as if he suddenly stopped hypnotizing me. Our date was an intense one and it almost turned into a steamy one. Laurette did tell me he was a wild one but she didn’t tell me it was this much. I mean, every second of the date was wild and nasty, he didn’t go easy on me at all and almost passed out from the heat between us. Even when our food arrived, I found it so hard to chew and swallow, he had completely gotten to me. He made it worse with the way he looked in my eyes like I was the steak on his plate. He was ready to eat me raw right there at the table and I don’t think I would have been able to resist him. Thankfully, he didn’t.“Wow? Someone looks so flustered? Don’t tell me you guys did what I’m thinking?” Laurette’s voice suddenly rang behind me. I didn’t even know she had come out and was behind me and her sudden voice made me jerk. “Laur

Jackson Malcom arrived early just as he said and I was ready too. I didn’t get much sleep like I planned but I made sure it was enough to calm my nerves. I got up early and dressed up just in time for his arrival. We got in the car and made our way to the court. During the drive, he started briefing me on what to expect from the judge and prosecutor, and how to go about each scenario. “Wow, I’m just realizing how much mess this is.” I let out at a point, I was already tired of the whole thing but I still had a long way to go.“Well, if today goes well, the other hearings won’t be as hard or intense. We just need to get into the head kg the judge today. Lisa and her team are going to try to manipulate things which is why we need to do all this on our part too.” He explained and though I understood him well enough, I just couldn’t stop beating myself up for ever getting myself into such mess in the first place.We continued but just then, my phone started to ring. I was so happy as I

Laura“Would you be my girlfriend, Laura?” I watched as the words flowed out of Reed’s mouth and I swallowed a deep breath. I was actually expecting it because it was kind of obvious from when he asked me on the date. He was being dramatic about the whole thing and when I told Laurette, she also had the same impression as me.“I think he’s going to finally ask you out?” She let out and I could see the excitement all over her. “Are you going to accept?” She chimed in while I just looked clueless. I really didn’t know what I was going to do. Of course, I know he was going to ask me sooner or later, and I was open to giving love another chance. But after the conversation with Jackson, I started to have second thoughts. I love Jackson so much and I just don’t see myself being with another man. Even when I was mad at him, i never stopped loving him. Reed was just a welcome distraction that was now turning into a forced reality…“Hey, what’s on your mind?” Reed let out, pulling me back
