Chapter 133 How Much Do You Want?
Cara laid on the bed, tired and drowsy. She knew now to avoid greasy food no matter how much she craved for it.
Thankfully, she was not alone. Romeo was by her side, making sure her symptoms did not evolve into anything grand and dangerous for both herself and the baby.
He prepared tea to help calm her irritation and also to help her fall asleep while also minding how much she drank in order to keep their baby safe.
His knowledge on medical things like that were not all too grand but he made sure he did all he knew and more after cross-checking severally to make sure they were all safe measures a pregnant woman could take.
Cara would be the biggest liar on earth if she said she was not grateful to have him by her side. She knew she could sleep properly with her man by her side.
The silence in the room was comforting rather than deafening, it gave her the opportunity to think on everything that had been going on in her life.
She felt a smile creep on her face as a thought crawled into her mind. "I can't believe that we are really getting married. Our marriage feels surreal and I would not believe it myself if I had not just gotten my dress prepared."
Romeo's face bloomed into a smile. "What can't you believe? As for me, i believe it, i am excited for it and I am sincerely looking forward to it. It feels so real to me but it annoys me because it is still so far away."
Cara, who was laying with her back pressed to Romeo's chest, turned her head to look at him. "So far away? I am anxious that it is so close!"
Romeo let out a soft laugh. "Well, it will get here, we will do it and it will pass. You will have this baby for me and as many babies as we want."
Cara smiled softly. She looked into his eyes and said, "thank you."
Romeo's brow arched, "for what?"
"For everything." She responded.
The calmness of the mood was so nice to feel, Romeo leaned in and stole a kiss from his lover. It felt like there had never been a night more perfect than that.
Meanwhile...
Jessica swallowed hard, trying to keep her emotions on a leash. She glared at Jayden and if glares could kill, he would have been a dead man.
But sadly, nothing was going to change the fact that he was sitting right there and there was nothing she could do to discard him.
Jayden's brow arched. "What do you say? I brought my car, let's do it in there real quick and then get down to business."
She felt even more infuriated by his words. Not a hotel, not his house, not even a motel, but his car?! How could he downgrade her like that? Inside his car of all places!
She clenched her fist so tightly she could feel the blood draining from her palms. How could she discard of him? How could she change the topic? How could she make sure that he would never try to find her again?
She felt a single droplet of tear roll down her red flushed cheek. "What exactly do you want from me? Is it money that you desperately need? Just tell me how much, I cannot do anything now that I am feeling so tense–"
"That is why I want us to have some fun before getting down to business!" He said as he suddenly gripped her by the wrist. "Because i know that you will be so tense and i don't want you feeling that way when you are supposed to focus."
Getting on his feet, he pulled her by the wrist and led her out of the bar. She felt her entire body stiffen, she did not want to walk but he dragged her on like she was done disobedient puppy.
Arriving at his car, he still did not let go of her hand, instead, he opened the door to the car and roughly shoved her inside. Looking around to make sure he had not been followed, he got in after her and locked the door.
A sinister smile played on his face. "Now that we are alone..." he reached out and grabbed her waist.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. It was not someone she did not know– although she would have preferred that– and it was not a first time for both of them so she told herself that there was no need to be anxious about it.
She finally relaxed her muscles and forced a smile to her face. "Let's do what we have to do."
Jayden broke out in a loud and pleased laughter. "That's what I'm talking about! My girl!"
She managed to pull through, she would be lying if she said the sx was not good, that was part of the reasons they had dated in the first place.
She took her time to get dressed and comb her hair, she wanted more but decided not to be greedy especially with a man like her ex boyfriend.
Now that they were done, she sat properly and propped her back. "So tell me... how much do you want from me? A sum to make you disappear forever from my life."
"Hey... if I disappear forever from your life then who is going to give you good sx?" He teased her although it she knew it was an undeniable truth.
She gave a frantic roll of her eyes instead. "Tell me how much you want."
Jayden let out a soft sigh. "Hmm... so to be reasonable here, it is going to have to be huge because if you want me to stay away from my son and not tell anyone the truth, you can't possibly expect me to ask for a little sum."
"I know." She responded with in a strangled tone. "Go ahead."
