It was next morning, I got up very early today. I didn't sleep last night. My life was crushing and I needed to fix it. I was already in Clinton’s company parking area. After a last glance in the rearview I got out and headed in.
Unlike the last time I didn’t want to just barge in and interrupt. I was willing to wait,
“Good morning Miss Jessica, how may we assist you today?” I was shocked with the way the receptionist addressed me but I ignored it.
“I would like to speak to Mr Clinton please.” I politely asked and she nodded,
“I can’t believe it, you’re Thompson?” He asked bewildered,“Yes, it’s nice to see you again.” I politely said as I sat on the chair.“I just can’t believe you’re here, I was looking for information about you but couldn’t find any.” He said,“Are you sure because I’m trending on the news now.”“Maybe I haven’t come across it, anyways how are you?”“I'm great, do I have the job?” I asked as my main focus was to get the job.“Yes, yes of course you do. Unfortunately we only have the waitress opening,”“Yes that’s okay, thank you so much.” I said
“Jess you’re panting, what’s up?” Loren asked as soon as she picked, I locked the door behind me as soon as I entered my apartment. Lee had just dropped me.“You won’t believe me if I tell you.” I finally managed to talk after calming down.“I’m already curious, tell me. Did anything happen at your new job?” She sounded worried.“No, not that it bothers me now.”“But it does bother me, what happened?”“There’s this woman I think she’s the supervisor, she strangled me.” I said not sounding hurt or anything,“Oh my, did you report the bullying but don’t worry if you didn’t, Chris knows the owner he will dea
Both Sophia and Clinton had their mouths wide open, they surely didn’t expect me.“Jessie is your girlfriend?” Clinton asked shocked,“Yes,” Lee confirmed as he pulled out a seat for me, “thank you,” I said and stole eyes with Sophia who gulped down her water.“She’s doing law?” Sophia asked as she put down her glass,“Yes,” Lee answered uninterestedly as he turned to me instead and sweetly said, “I ordered your favorite, do you want anything else?”&nbs
“We need to talk Jessie, please.” He begged, but talk about what?“Talk? About what?”“Let’s get coffee,” he suggested.“No, I’m not having any conversation with you. Now if you please excuse me, I have things to do.” I said as I tried to walk past him but he held my hand.“Let me go Clinton,” I struggled.“No!”“Clint stop!” I yelled and he pinned me against the door, his face staring at mine.“So you still remember me?” He spoke his eyes looking into mine. I felt my knees go weak for him, I bit my inner cheeks hoping to wake me up but it didn’t, defeated I closed my eyes.
It’s been days, Clinton and I came here for his meeting but most of the time we were just having fun.I was packing our bags as Lee called to say that he will be returning tomorrow.I was on a call with Loren since Clinton left for one of his meetings.“I just can’t believe you’re there cheating on Lee with Clinton.”“I know right but come to think of it, this is not really cheating. Clinton is legally my husband.” I told her and we both laughed.“Right, but tell me, what are you really planning to do? To be sleeping with Clinton behind Lee’s back, I know you don’t love him but don’t forget how much he has done for you.” She advised,“I also don’
“Nice to finally meet you, Jessica, I’m William and this is my wife.” The man whom Lee said was his father introduced.“My pleasure Mr and Mrs Williams.” I said as we shook hands, the woman took me in her arms, then tapping my back she pulled away as she wiped away imaginary tears.“I’m so emotional right now, I thought I’d lost my son forever.” She said confusing me but I just smiled.“Pardon my manners, this is Lucy, my brother's daughter and her husband Jade.” She added and surprisingly both Jade and Lucy smiled.“Nice to meet you, Jessica.” They said in unison.“Jessica, my son says you’re a lawyer,” Mrs Williams asked, taking my hands as she led me to a couch.
“No you’re not, you’re my girlfriend and your past doesn’t matter to me. What matters is that you changed. You’re not the same Jessie that Lucy knows.” He said and I turned to face him as I felt calm.“I’m sorry,” I apologized.“And I forgive you,” he wiped away my tears and I fell into his arms. I was cheating on a good man.“It’s okay, we’ll show Lucy you’re not the same woman.” He gently rubbed my back as I was now sobbing.“Your parents.. how…
I was now seated by the cafe where the driver dropped me waiting for Loren. I still couldn’t believe that Clinton just wanted me as his pleasure toy, nothing serious.I was in public so by all means I avoided shedding tears.“Jessie!” Loren, in her lively mood as usual, shouted my name as she hugged me.“I’ve missed you so much,” she pouted her lips as she sat across from me.“I’ve missed you too.” I said and waited for her to settle.
