Chapter 80 Chapter 80
Jaden Cooper (Coop)
After my meeting with Benji I was confused, I’ve never seen him like this about a woman before never and he had lots and lots of women in his life. I for one would rather have a one-night stand and leave before she wakes up, always at her place and always just one night. I’ve been burn before and I will never fall in that trap again, I mean how embarring is it to be left in front of a church of people all waiting for the bride you included and the bride just never shows up. That’s why I’m done with relationships I’m never letting anyone embarrass me like that again. My mom and dad aren’t happy about it but that is how my life will be. Obviously, they want grandchildren but I think I’m only going to give them a dog maybe 2. I never let my sex life appear on the news so I’m not an embarrassment to the law firm or my family name, which means they can’t force me into anything. But hearing Benji talk about Jojo and how his face light up, sometimes I wished I could have that and then I’m reminded of my big fuck up of a wedding and I don’t wish for it anymore. I rather use my time at the bar and drink on my own my Macallan 1926 and flirt with girls and that’s it, maybe I’ll go home with one maybe I won’t, it’s always a surprise. Yes, I’m syndical but that is what one woman did to me.
I was sitting in my study going over a case when my phone rang the caller ID showed it was Benji. I answered immediately “What’s wrong?” I asked because this is the second time today we will be speaking after years not speaking to each other. “Jojo is sick.” Okay so what will he have me do about her being sick? I said the first thing that came to mind. “You looking for doctor?” “No, I think it was the food we ate at John’s house tonight it was too rich.” I really didn’t know what to say but Benji filled in the silence going on about how he has to leave her and who will help her when she’s sick again, the love this man has for this woman after what 3 weeks, they’ve actually seen and talked to each other is amazing. With my previous girlfriend and then fiancé it took me months to fall for her, how Benji fell so fast I had no idea. Maby it’s because I’m a lawyer that I don’t fall so quickly or trust so quickly or maybe she was the wrong women, as my mother would say every time she sees me. Then Benji said if I ever take her out for lunch or dinner, I should make sure she doesn’t eat to rich food. I mean I’m not planning on taking her out for lunch. I will make sure John makes sure she eats at work before she goes home but that’s it. I didn’t say much just “I will make sure of that Benji don’t worry.” Benji ended the call leaving me to look over my case again, but my thoughts were far from the case I was intrigued by Joelle Warren the women that could steal Benji’s heart.
The fact that she could get Benjamin Devon to fall for her in such a short time is a miracle. Benji was always the playboy, John was the serious one and me well most of the time I was the clown of the three of us never took life to seriously. So, getting a playboy to fall for you well that is something. I went on social media and started to look for her. I found her quickly not many Joelle Warrens out there. But this account looked managed like it wasn’t her someone else was posting stuff. Benji kept on telling me how down to earth she was but all the photo’s I could find was of her winning some sort of pageant or her with a celebrity or with the newest Channel bag, nothing on this account shows the person that Benji was describing. Maybe she was the same as my ex and just knew how to play him. I closed the account and went back to work.

I didn’t sleep much the previous night I was to afraid Jojo got sick and I didn’t hear her. So, I got up early and went to make some coffee. I was taking a sip of my first cup when I heard footsteps in the room and then the sound of Jojo vomiting again. “Oh fuck” I put my cup down and ran to the bathroom “Angel.” Was all I said as I took her hair in my hand. Holding it for her while she vomited again and again. When she’s finally finished, I asked her “I take it you’re not better yet?” “I think it’s the smell of the coffee.” “Oh no morning sickness?” “Probable there is nothing in my stomach that can come out anymore.” “Can I get you some crackers?” “Let me brush my teeth and take a shower maybe I’ll feel better afterwards.” “Okay but scream if you need me.” “I will”
I left the bathroom and drank my coffee as quickly as possible and threw the rest away. I didn’t what her to get sick again, not because of me. I sat in the living room looking at different cars while she was busy getting ready, I had a flight late afternoon so we needed to get going but I didn’t want to hurry her along. I found a very nice Audi A1; it was just big enough for her and the baby and it was safe and reliable that was most important to me. Now I just have to convince Jojo that that is the car for her. I started to pray because I knew she was going to fight me on this. But I will I will play dirty if I have to but she will have a decent reliable car before I leave Orlando.
