Chasing His Rejected Luna 52: Family Ties
JADEThe conversation with Andrew shed light on one thing. There was no way to get rid of Atlas, unless he wanted to leave by himself.Why did he want to stay in a marriage he hated so much? Or is it because I want to leave now and he just couldn’t have that? Some narcissistic part of him couldn't handle that I was ready to move on.I told myself it was better if I kept thinking it was because of his selfish reasons. Rather than any delusional hope of him having feelings for me.Although when I asked Andrew, he said he didn’t know either.“He has been acting really weird of late. So, who knows.” He’d shrugged. Not looking entirely convinced.I wasn’t going to waste my time trying to figure out what Atlas was feeling. I had enough on my plate already. And really, I would much rather be spending time with my father instead.This is the third day after I went to Atlas’s office and came out more confused than ever. And still married to him. I was hanging out with dad as it is the weekend.
Chasing His Rejected Luna 53: Girl Dates And Dress Up
JADEJohn and dad dropped me off at Jaime’s place. I have gone back to my apartment. She texted me asking if I was free to hangout. And since my only plan was going to my apartment and staring at the wall, I told her I’ll come after.“You’re making friends in the company? Everyone is treating you alright?” Dad asked after we got in the car.I couldn’t help smiling as I told him all about the people I was talking to. If you asked me a few days ago if I thought I would have female friends. I would laugh and call you crazy.I thought I had an aversion to females. Or more, they had an aversion to me. Because most of the people that I met didn’t like me instantly. I used to think there was something wrong with me.There was nothing wrong with me. It was just them.Jaiya had already made snacks, ordered Chinese food from a place she told me I would love the day after I slept over. And she had three movies which she asked me to pick from.“I’ve never had a female friend like this.” I told he
Chasing His Rejected Luna 55: The Great Outdoors
JADE“WHAT?!” Jaiya looked confused and I nodded, working my bottom lip with my teeth. “B-but how is that even possible? You were married. For years!” She squealed the last art.I didn’t know if to laugh or cry for myself. It really was pathetic. For the lack of a better response, I only shrugged.“Wow,” she muttered under her breath. “That’s really crazy. Who could be married to you and not try anything?”Again, I shrugged.“We have to fix that.” She said to herself, still looking lost and confused.“We don’t have to.” I reassured herWith all that is going on. The last thing I wanted was to add a man to the equation. Any man for that matter.“No, but—“ she pursed her lips, her eyes widened like she was still trying to wrap her head around it.“How about this?” She asks after a while. “When we go out tonight, have a little fun. Just like we planned.” She rushed to add when I opened my mouth to speak. “You don't have to do anything with anyone, really. Just talk to people. I’m sure yo
Chasing His Rejected Luna 55: Introductions
JADEJaiya didn’t bother knocking before she pushed the door to the office open. I whisper-yelled her name but it was already too late as she had already entered.“Hello, hello.” She waved her hand as she walked into the room like she owned the place.“Shit.”“Fuck.”I hear the curses just as she rushed back out of the door, closing her eyes. It was good that I wasn’t directly behind her. She would have run into me.“Are you okay? What happened?” I gripped her arm, my eyes narrowing in panic when I saw how shaken up she looked.Did she see a dead body or what?The door opened and I got the response to my question in the form of a 6 '3 man, trying to right his clothes. He brushes his hand over his messy hair, trying to fix the messy strands.Being slow, as I was, I still didn’t gather what had been happening. Even after Jaiya smacked him on the arm.“You dirty pig!” She growled, hitting him with her purse.Instead of being offended, he just laughed and tried to take the purse away from
Chasing His Rejected Luna 56: Unexpected Call
JADE“Shit. Fuck.” Casein cursed, getting off the couch. He holds his hands up trying to speak softly like he was attempting to calm a lion.I guess he was right to do so. The man looked like an angry bull who wouldn’t mind squashing him without a care in the world.“Before you kill me. Guess who came to visit.” That stopped the man from moving and he turned to Jaiya, his eyes softened the moment he looked at her.“Shorty,” his eyes trailed to mine and I stared at him, my jaw slacking.How did I not notice him the first time? Oh, because he was charging in like an angry bull.“Jade?” Damien asked.He looked almost exactly the same from the day I saw him after those guys attacked me.“Hi,” I squeaked in a soft voice, still in shock from him being here. “What are you doing here?”“How do you two know each other?” Jaiya was looking between the both of us in confusion.Casein just looked glad the attention wasn’t on him any more.“We met the other night.” Damien replied, not taking his ey
Chasing His Rejected Luna 57: So Blue
JADEI didn’t know I was running toward the door until Damien called me back. He looked concerned as he asked me what was wrong. I’m not sure I was making sense as I told him what Tom said.He didn’t make much sense either. He only said Atlas passed out and he wasn’t responding to the doctor. So the man said they should call me.I didn’t even remember we were supposed to be separated. All I heard was, Atlas needed me and my entire brain chemistry altered itself. My sole being was calling for him and I felt like if I didn’t get to him right now, I would simply die.The entire car ride. I kept calling Atlas’s phone to ask about any update but the reply was the same each time. That made me panic more.Damien was driving way above the speed limit. I know he’ll get a few tickets but he didn’t seem to mind as he tried to keep his eyes on the road and calm me down at the same time. I appreciated his efforts, but I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to tell him any of that.I called Andrew in
Chasing His Rejected Luna 58: You're Needed
JADEThe doctor later pushed Atlas’s mother, it wasn’t easy, and Annie, out of the room. The latter had thrown a fit. Insisting I was the one who should leave because she was having his baby and we weren’t even married any more.Surprisingly, Atlas’s mother was the one who gave her the final command to leave.She is finally putting her son over her little feelings I guess.My eyes were on him the whole time.After they left, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief. Like he could finally have some air now that they were gone.I would have said the same. Except, I didn’t care right now. Even if I didn’t have any air left, as far as I could be here with my hands in his, then I’ll stay.“I’m glad you came, luna.” The doctor spoke. “You’re the only one that can help him.”I nodded and turned my head to him so he could tell me what I needed to do. Anything.But he didn’t speak so I did. “What do I need to do? Do you need his medical chart? Something about what he eats—““No, no.” he shook his
Chasing His Rejected Luna 59: Want Her Close
ATLASIt felt like I was living in a dreamland. Feeling her body against mine as I woke up was the best thing in the world. I wondered how I had survived for so long without it.I had held my breath, opened my eyes slowly, scared that if I made any sudden movements. She would disappear. But she didn’t. Even after I opened both my eyes and reached out to touch her soft skin. She stirred, but she didn’t wake up, and she did not disappear.It was then that it hit me. This was real. This is real. She is here.I didn’t think she would actually come. It was a last resort plan but I couldn’t handle her being away. And I was shocked when Andrew offered to help.Getting the doctor to do what I wanted was easy. He loved Jade even though they haven’t really worked together that much. But he sees how well she relates with everyone. And the guys mostly talk about her when they are checked by him during lessons.We said it was the only way to get her to come back to the house. And he helped us shap
