Novel & Cerita Jayden Bartels Boyfriend

“Amen to that. My boyfriend’s in Florida for some finance thing, so I am a free woman. Temporarily. Emotionally, I’m still very much attached. Physically, I plan on dancing like I’m single.” “And Jayden?” I asked with a smirk. “Are you bringing your mysterious new boyfriend?” Jayden looked at me with mock offense. “Excuse me? Did we not say this was a girls’ night? No boys allowed, not even ones as devastatingly charming as mine.” I laughed so hard I nearly dropped the folded napkin. “So it’s official? You two are a thing now?” Jayden pretended to preen. “Well, he hasn’t run screaming yet, so that’s progress. And he sends me memes. Like, tailored to my humor memes. That’s love.”

But my keys were still in my hand and my lock was still a few steps away, and he was still between me and it. My thoughts flashed to Leonard again. To his voice in my ear, flirting with me. To the way his stare went dark when his eyes landed on me. I hated how it made me feel cornered from two sides. Adrian’s control and Leonard’s control. But I was going to be toast if Adrian realized I had anything to do with his father. “I have a boyfriend,” The words slipped out from my mouth before I could stop it. Adrian went still. His expression then changed. The serene mask broke open. "A boyfriend." He repeated.

“You are.” “Yes,” he said simply. “I said we were. Not that you agreed.” Jane snorted. “This man is insane.” “Centuries old,” Victor corrected. “Insane is relative.” Sammy moved closer to me without touching, like he was reminding the room where he stood. “Then say it clearly.” Victor met his gaze. Something serious flickered there now. Honest. “I have feelings for Jayden,” he said. “Unreturned. I pushed. He said no. End of story.”

Jay yelped, his tiny voice cracking and Tracey rolled her eyes at him. Thalia laughed softly. “Tracey, tell me.” “Mommy, Jay has a girlfriend!” Jay groaned dramatically, dragging his small palm down his face. “Really?” Thalia raised a brow as Tracey nodded vigorously. “Her name is Jewel. She’s that aunty’s daughter you know, the woman who insulted Daddy at the mall.” Thalia hummed as she tied Tracey’s ponytail and smoothed her baby hairs with gel. “Mommy, Jewel is my friend,” Jay said in his little serious tone. “She’s my girlfriend, not the girl I’m dating.”
