Chapter 65 Chapter 65
Benji
I was thinking about this for a while now, I knew I won’t be without a woman on my arm for long, I know myself no matter how much I love Jojo, my mother will force me and my dick wouldn’t say no. So, I wanted to make this pack with her because I knew she will look at my Instagram account and see me with other women so I ask her that we make a pack right now. “Okay what is the pack?” She asks. “If either of us get’s serious with a partner we let the other one know.” She started to laugh. “Seriously Benji who is going to look at me within the next 3 months my stomach will show and then 6 months later I will have a new born, the first one that is going to make that call is you.” I was taken a back by how she saw herself there is men out there that will take her with the child and all because she is a catch. I mean I was willing to give everything up for her. “Don’t you sell yourself short Jojo.” “Okay Benji but okay when one of us get serious with someone we let the other know.” Jojo said. “Okay but this is a pack you need to pinky promise to keep. I don’t want to stalk you on social media and then I see you are engaged and you never called me.” That made her laugh so hard. “Stop laughing.” I had to say. “Me ever get engaged or married, I don’t see that in my future Benji I’m sorry. In yours maybe but I’m going to get old with my child and a few hundred cats.” I took her face in my hands, “Don’t sell yourself short, you are a catch you are beautiful inside and out and any man and I mean any man would be lucky to have you in their live.” “Thank you Benji.” She said but her eyes told me she didn’t believe me. But there was no time to explain we arrived at the airport and Anton stopped on the tarmac right on the side of the plane.
“Come we are here.” She didn’t even notice after we started talking her attention was just on me and not the road. “Oh” she said half sad half excited. Anton got the bags out of the boot and I helped him, I only had a duffle bag because I’m not going to be there long, just going to set her up for life but she doesn’t have to know that. She never needs to know that. We got on the plane and the first thing I did was make sure the pilot filed the papers saying we were going to New York, he assured me he did but the right people knew where we were actually going just in case something happens to us in the air and we needed to make an emergency landing they will know where to find us. Anton was also coming with us, to help me with whatever Jojo needs in her apartment. Jojo took a seat next to the window and I took a seat next to her I wanted to hold her as much as I humanly could before I have to say good bye. The doors closed and the pilot informed us to put our seatbelts on we where next in the queue to take off.
“So here I go.” Jojo said as the pilot took off. She looked at Housten from the sky and I could see in the reflection of the glass she was crying. I took her hand in mine and gave it a little squeeze for some reason I knew she wasn’t going to call me for anything which means I need to take the chance to support her while I can. She looked at me and smiled when she couldn’t see Housten anymore. “Well, that is behind me now.” She said with a half-smile on her face. “I wish I could celebrate with a glass of champagne.” “No but we can have a Shirley temple it looks kind of like a celebratory drink.” The air hostess came to us just on the right moment, before she could even ask us what we want I said “Can we get 2 Shirley Temple’s with extra cherries please.” Jojo looked at me surprised.
“You really going to drink a non-alcoholic drink with me? “Yes, angel I am.” The air hostess brought us our drinks and then she brought a plate with cheese and crackers. I turned to look at her and lifted my glass. “To new beginnings.” She smiled touched her glass to mine “New beginnings.” As she took a sip, she said “Oh wow this is amazing, this might become my favorite drink.” Which means she never had a Shirley Temple before but I wasn’t going to ask “Cheese for you?” “Yes please.” She took just a piece of cheese no crackers. “Joelle.” I started but she looked at me with big eyes “You never call me Joelle what is going on?” “You need to eat other things as well.” “I’m eating cheese.” “What about the cracker.” “That’s carbs I’ll get fat.” Fuck I’m going to destroy her family. “Please eat a cracker you will not get fat from a cracker.” “But…….” I interrupted her with a cracker with cheese in my hand “Eat.” She took it looked at it and then looked at me “Eat it.” She was really struggling with herself if I didn’t know it was her mother that was so strict with her I would have thought she had an eating disorder. She took a bite and then she put the rest of it in her mouth. “Now was it that bad?” After she swallowed, she took a sip of her Shirley Temple. “No that was actually delicious.” “See I told you it’s nice.”
We ate in silence for a while before I asked her “So what is the first thing you want to do when we get there?” “I obviously have to meet my new boss first.” “You jump right into business.” “I will have to eat somehow the money I have I need to work clever with Benji I need to pay rent, by food, I need to think of prenatal vitamins if I have the money for it, I need to think of doctors appointments and how much that will cost and then the delivery of the baby that will probable cost a few thousands, then there is nappies, cloths, bottles.” “Okay I get it.” “I don’t think you do I don’t even comprehend what is going to happen, he or she will need a place to sleep, bedding, day care….” She dropped her face in her hands and shook her head “How am I going to do this Benji I was kidding myself. Maybe I shouldn’t have been so quick to say I wouldn’t get an abortion…….”
