Three days past and I haven't seen Jayden ever since that incident. I tried to avoid him as much as possible. I'm angry and scared of him at the sa ti.
"Peggy can I ask you a favor?" Alora asked while we're eating at the breakfast table.
"Sure. What is it?"
"Can you pick up Zoey later after class? Jas had a family ergency so he took a leave and will be gone for a month. Luke is still looking for a temporary replacent. You know how long he could find soone." Alora said.
Luke is so ticulous in hiring people. Maybe because he and Alora were kidnapped when they were kids so he beca very protective and doesn't easily trust anyone.
"Yes. I'm not doing anything later. Hear that Zoey? Aunt Peggy will pick you up later. Would you like to stop by sowhere? I'm free you know." I said to the little in front of .
"Can we have ice cream Aunt Peggy?" She asked. The girl has brown waist length straight her with hazelnut colored eyes. She's adorable.
"Sure. It's a date then." I smiled and winked at her.
"Sorry I'm late." Says a familiar voice.
I suddenly dropped the spoon I'm holding when I hear the man's voice who just ca in. It was Jayden.
"Son, where do you always go every night? You've been coming ho late." Dr.Richards, Jayden's father asked.
He sat beside Zoey and greeted the girl by patting her head. My heart was pounding so fast. His handso face shows exhaustion. Is Luke giving him a hard ti?
"Don't worry dad I'm fine." Jayden is quite rude to almost everyone but when it cos to his father, he always has a soft spot.
"Uncle Jayden, and Aunt Peggy will have a date after school. Would you like to join us? You're face looks tired so let's have an ice cream later." I almost choked when Zoey asked Jayden.
I glanced at him but he wasn't looking at .
"Take the day off and pick up Peggy and Zoey later." Luke suddenly said.
I stared at Luke then to Alora. Begging her to say sothing. But she smiled like a villain. Like Camila ca out for a mont. That witch!
"B - But" I was about to protest when Jayden answered.
"Okay. Ice cream would be great." He said smiling at Zoey.
God I missed his smile. I didn't talk back and just kept quiet.
After school, I asked my driver to drop off at Golden Oak Kindergarten and since Jayden will pick us up, we'll be using his car.
He was already waiting in his car when I arrived. He went out and open the door in front. I frowned.
"We still have half an hour. Are you going to wait at the gate?" He said, still not looking at .
Is there sothing on my face? If he doesn't want to see why would he bother to co along? I felt a sudden pain in my heart. I should've been mad at him for what he did to . He didn't even apologize and now he's treating like this.
I went inside the car and looked outside. I don't know why but I feel like soone is piercing my heart. I wanted to cry but I can't let him see like this.
I heard him heaved a sigh. "I'm sorry." He said. I looked at him surprised. He's still not looking at .
"You can't even look at when you apologize?" I know I sounded I pissed but I am.
"I can't look at you because I was embarrass. I hated myself for doing that to you. I'm the worst." His voice sounds sincere but frustrated.
"Apology accepted." I said simply.
"Why are you not mad at ?" He asked.
"I am but I'll be angrier if you keep on ignoring and didn't apologize."
Finally, he looked at and was about to touch my face but he hesitated and sighed.
I gazed outside the car's window and asked. "Are you still with that girl?"
"I broke up with her the other day." He said.
"Is that the reason you look so tired?" I felt like sothing's in my throat when I asked him.
"How about you? Are you still with that guy?" He didn't answer but instead asked back.
"Yes." I said. It's true I'm still with Kian but not as her girlfriend. It was just a show anyway.
"Why? It's been more than a week already." He sounded pissed.
"I have a reason to stay with him." I replied.
"Can you not break up with him? And just stay with ."
Again, I was surprised. I looked at him and t his eyes. He's serious.
"Jayden, I -" He cut off by suddenly kissing .
His kiss was passionate and gentle. I missed him. I can't deny that. I missed his kisses, his touch. I put my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss.
After sharing a breathtaking kiss, he leaned his forehead into mine.
"Stay with . I promise I won't do anything beyond kissing. I won't ask you to break up with that guy or anyone just stay with ."
"Jayden what are you talking about? I can't understand you. Why?" I asked confused.
"I'm not sure what it is but I can't stop thinking about you." He said.
"Are you sure you're okay if I'm with Kian?" I asked. I can't just leave Kian. I told him I'll help him.
"Yes." He answered.
"This is crazy!"
"Peggy you can't deny the fact that your body wants . Do you feel that way towards that guy? I doubt that." He said.
So is this again because he wants my body? Sohow, I'm disappointed but I can't expect more. I don't even know what I feel towards him. But he's right. I longed for him. I want to be with him. Just being like this with him, I feel safe and happy. Not seeing him and him ignoring was torture.
"Okay. I'll stay with you. But if you also want to have a girlfriend, that's fine. As long as you don't kiss the girl." I don't know why but I want his kiss, his touch just for .
He answered by kissing again and again until we heard Zoey knocking on the window.
