CHAPTER 45

He undressed me and himself. Our craved, heated bodies met the mattress and I was put on to cloud ten yet again. Jasmine's POV 'How was your trip?" Zenia asked as soon as I came through the door. We had arrived back into the US two hours ago. Evan had an urgent meeting to attend to so he had one of his personal drivers take me home. 'It was lovely," I answered her with my mind reminiscing back to the heated sex I had with my boss. My body placed close to his. His tongue travelling to the sensitive part of my neck and letting my skin rose with goose bumps. He was quite the accomplished lover. 'You know you're smiling, right?" Zenia said, folding her arms as she smirked. 'Where's mom?" I asked, changing the subject. 'Mom found a job." 'WHAT!!" 'Mom... Found... A.. Job," she repeated slower. 'Where?" 'At a restaurant. She'll be one of their cleaners or chef... Or something." I raked my fingers through my hair. Placing my suitcase against the wall, I sat down on the couch. I knew my mother. She was so headstrong and independent. She hated relying on anyone. When dad left us without a word, it affected her but mom bounced back like if he wasn't there from the very beginning. She took the role of fatherhood and motherhood into her hands and she delivered everything to the best. 'Okay," I answered. 'Yeah. I know you tried to change the subject though but it's not that easy with me." 'Zen...please don't start," I groaned. 'Did you two had sex? Because by the look on your face, there's a glow you're trying to conceal." My sister knew me so well but I wasn't about to tell her about it just as yet. 'Put my suitcase into my bedroom, then I'll tell you everything," I lied. For a new gossip, she'll do almost about anything. Without hesitation, my suitcase was carried into my bedroom and she took the liberty of packing away everything inside. 'Jassy! You brought this back for me? Oh thank you, thank you!" I heard her screaming with excitement as I tried to fight the sleep from my eyes. 'Yeahhh," I groaned again. Before Evan and I left the Bahamas, we went shopping. He brought clothes and accessories of my choice. I knew Zenia loved fashion. I got her ten dresses, five pair of jeans and five pair of shoes. I also brought her a few accessories such as earrings, watches and a necklace. I was happy when she appeared to be grateful. Although she got on my nerves, she was my little sister and I loved her. 'Okay, so can you tell me about it now?" she asked. 'Hello. Hello!" I heard her faintly saying. But the sleep had won. The next morning, I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. Without looking at the caller's ID, I answered. 'I'm outside," a male voice said before hanging up. Getting out of bed with my PJ's on, I went for the front door. 'Where have you been? Huh? I've been calling you and texting you. I even came by here but you were nowhere to be found!" 'Bradley.... Umm, why are you here so early?" I asked, checking the time on my phone. 6:30 am. 'Where were you Jasmine?" His tone was growled and I saw he was trying to control his anger. 'I asked you a question!" he semi shouted. 'I was on a business trip," I answered, fear coming onto my chest and it was obvious in my voice. 'With whom?" he asked the question I was dreading to answer. 'My boss." 'Just the two of you?" 'No. Several associates as well." His anger flattened and I exhaled with relief. I knew what he was capable of doing when he got angry. 'I missed you," he said, taking me in for a hug. 'I miss you too. I should have called," I found myself saying back to him as I returned his hug. I had no idea what the hell I was doing. I was about to enter a playing field with two men. Why couldn't I just be honest with Bradley and tell him it was only me and Mr. Hollen. And it wasn't just a business trip. Evan made it extra special for me. We had steaming sex and we made love for an entire night. He had ordered chocolate, strawberries and whipped cream from room service. He placed it on all my sexual parts and then he sucked and ate it off me. I had never had that done to me before and I would definitely never forget it. Evan was everything in the bedroom and out of the bedroom. The hour we were supposed to leave, he had me screaming his name in a bubbling hot Jacuzzi. Just thinking about it, made me wet all over again. But here I was, lying to a man I wasn't even supposed to get involved with ever again. A part of me felt like I owed him I guess. 'Want to grab some breakfast?" he asked, planting a kiss on my cheek. 'Sure. Let me get freshen up first," I said. 'Okay. I'll be in the car." I closed the door and went back to my bedroom. Took a hot shower, changed into a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and combed my hair. For makeup- mascara and lip gloss. I left a note on the kitchen island before leaving with Bradley.
