Chapter 49: Chapter Fourty-Nine

Olivia

When i got home later that day, I was really heartbroken. I finally make a friend and she is taken away. I don't know how to feel. But at the same time my heart is breaking for her. I don't want to know how it feels to be forced to do something I don't want to do. Marriage is a big thing. Which makes me thankful that I chose the man that I'm going to marry.

Tomorrow is her last day of work, so we decided that after work I would help her pack her things so that on Friday when she goes, everything will be ready. At least she is flying private.

Jason is not home yet and I've had a long day. It's already almost eight anyway. I hate it when he comes home this late. I decide to head to bed after eating, I'm not going to wait for him so we could eat together anymore because I'm eating for more than me. Just as I'm about to hit the shower though, I hear the lift alarm ring and I know he's home. I decide he'll find me in the shower and join me if he wants.

He doesn't join me for the shower. He's not even in the bedroom when I come out. After putting my pajamas on because I don't know if he's alone, I go look for him. He's in the study sitting behind his desk with a paper that is the length and breadth of the table.

"Hey baby, come take a look here." He says to me without even looking up at me. I walk to him anyway to see what has his attention so much.

When I look closely at the paper, they are actually house plans. I'm puzzled because he already has a house that's fully furnished and then there's the penthouse we reside in. The house looks big, just like his house in Mountain View.

I speak before he does. "We're not getting another house." The look he gives me tells me I'm crazy. "Jason you already have this penthouse and.." I don't finish my sentence as he intercepts me.

"We..." He motions between us. "We have a penthouse. And I'm already planning to sell it. The plans on this house is already in order. Construction is starting next week." The last sentence catches me off guard.

"What do you mean next week? Jason, how long have you been planning this?" I ask him and he has the gull to look guilty at least.

"Shit, I'm sorry babe. I know I promised to communicate. I started the plans today, that's why I'm so late. I had a last minute meeting with the guy who own the company." He explains.

I'm puzzled. I don't know what to think. This impulsive side of Jason is scarry and needs to be tamed.

"Say something." He pleads.

"Why are we getting a house?" I ask him. That's the only question in my mind honestly.

"We can't live in a penthouse forever." He answers like that's obvious.

"Babe we already have a house in Mountain View." I tell him.

"At least this time you said we." He tells me as he rolls the papers and starts putting them in their container. "And I need my family with me. We can't live apart, that's not how we're going to be." He answers me.

"Nobody said we would be. We can always live here." I tell him and begin to walk out the study. I don't see a reason for us to be in there anymore. It occurs to me then that he said he only met the guy today. "Wait, when did you guys get the time to discuss house plans if you only met today?" I ask him.

I walk us to the kitchen and start heating his food while he takes a seat on the island chair. "I called him earlier and when I told him I need a house plan as soon as possible and the house started the same he said he had some plans that are ready and asked if I wanted to see some."

"Nice. But I'd like to meet with him before construction begins." I say as he starts eating.

"Why?" He asks around a mouthful.

"Because if this is my house, I want to understand it from the person who drew it. Now eat and come to bed." I don't let him have the last word, I'm already on my way to the bedroom.

I don't hate the idea of having a house honestly. Although I think it's absurd. But come to think of it, it gives me a venue for the wedding if they finish as fast as Jason says so one less problem.

It doesn't take him long to come to the bedroom, I'm already under the blankets. He doesn't bother with the shower as he takes off his clothes and I know already he's not going to like that I have my clothes on in bed.

"I'm still sore and I'm already tired." I tell him as he looks at me with a scowl.

"I promise I won't do anything. But I need to be able to touch your skin baby." He tells me coming to my side of the bed.

"You know, when the kids are here, we won't be able to sleep naked anymore." I tell him as he pulls off my pants.

"The kids are going to have their own bedroom." He tells me.

"I'm going to breastfeed, so I don't know about that." He gets a look on his face and his eyes go down to my breasts. I cover them even though he can't see them and laugh.

He smiles and pulls my hands away then pulls the shirt over my head. "Then I guess I will have a taste too." He then tucks me in bed then walks around to his side. "I think I will have to make it a rule, no clothes allowed in bed, even if we're angry at each other." He says pulling me to him.

I'm sleepy. I would have slept a long time ago was it not for his lateness.

"Ok. I will come with my own rule too. Although I don't like this thing of having a rule in the bedroom." I tell him with my eyes closed.

"You're sleeping. We'll discuss more of this in the morning. I love you." He says and kisses me between my neck and shoulder like usual.

"I love you too." I say then snuggle closer to him.

I hope I am not as tired as I was today tomorrow. If I am, I'm moving the timeline of my last day of work closer. I can't go to work this tired always because Jason didn't want to stop. Although I'm not complaining.
