Chapter twenty-eight: His Uncle

Chapter twenty-eight: His Uncle

Jessica

I was very on edge the next day, I didn't even tell Olivia about what happened last night while she was in the bathroom. I tried to conceal it while she was getting ready for bed, acting nonchalant and discussing plans for the coming break.

I couldn't even sleep, I was missing Jeffrey and I felt like I had to tell him about Steven but I couldn't forget his ex-wife words when she said her door is always open for him. If Harry hadn't been there, who knows what would have happened?

I eventually closed my eyes and got some rest. The night dragged on for what seemed like ages before I could open my eyes. I jumped when my phone vibrated on the table, quickly looking around to see who it was and saw that Olivia had texted me.

'Hey, Harry told me what happened last night with Steven. I am so sorry, I kept pushing you guys to be together. I didn't know he had turned out to be such a dick.'

I sighed and turned my phone to silent, texting her back before picking up my laptop and brought it to my lap. I tried focusing on my assignment but I couldn't, my mind kept dragging me to Jeffrey. I can't focus without him. I miss his dick, his kiss, his touch and more especially, I miss the way he licks my whole body.

He kept calling and sending me text messages but ignored it all, I wanted nothing more than to be in his arms again but Gladys's words still lingering on my head.

Rose had called me up, telling how devastated Jeffrey was because I left him but I didn't care. I am not ready to talk to him yet. Rose has told me that Jeffrey and his wife had been separated for four years now and she only showed a few weeks ago, it doesn't all make sense to me. Why didn't she come back? What does she want from him now? Does she want to get back to him again? If that is the case, what will happen to me now? I am already so deeply into this man that I can't imagine my life without him.

It was the weekend before my exams, I was a mess. I was constantly immersed in a textbook, surrounded by study guides and isolating myself from all social contact. I want to do well on all my exams and Olivia wasn't helping. She kept partying, going out on Thursday and will return on Sunday night.

My phone buzzed but I was too in depth with my textbook to answer it. It was probably from Janice asking if I wanted to hang out or something. She would probably end up dropping by if I ignored her long enough so I didn't worry about it.

A minute later, my phone started buzzing again, so I reached down and mindlessly shut it off, hoping to get some peace and quiet.

An hour later, a knock ratted on my door and I looked up from my notes, seeing the clock on my side table reading eight o'clock in the night. I rubbed my eyes and groaned, slipping off my bed going over to open the door.

"Janice, seriously, I am trying to…."

But it wasn't Janice that was standing there, it was Steven. My heart skipped a beat and I quickly shut the door and rushed to pick up my phone and saw so many text messages from Olivia telling me that Steven is coming over and he is drunk and I needed to lock myself in the room until she was able to get back to me.

Steven drunkenly waltzed in and l mentally slapped myself for not locking the door behind me. He glanced around the room, taking in the space.

"Could you please leave? I would appreciate it."

"Oh, don't be like that, Jess….."

"Now I will be like that and I am not going to ask you again."

"Why are you pushing me away? I thought everything was great between us." He said with a shake of his head.

"Are you insane? I looked at him baffled.

"Steven, seriously. You are obviously intoxicated and you shouldn't be here. You need to go."

"Baby, come on." He reached out to me. I took a couple steps back and cringed at his use of the pet name.

This is not going to end well, I contemplated calling Jeffrey because he is the only one to rescue me from this situation as Janice's number was out of coverage. I was hesitant but time was not on my side. I quickly texted Jeffrey to come to my rescue before Steven could do something I would forever regret.

"Steven, you need to leave please before I call the police." My voice was starting to waiver.

"You are just playing hard to get, aren't you?" He smirked, his hand brushing mine and quickly I brought my hands up to my chest.

"I like a good chase."

He took a step towards me and I was about to let out a cry for help to see if anyone would come to my rescue when Steven was suddenly thrown down to the ground. When I looked up, I saw Jeffrey standing in front.

"So, you are the fucker who keeps messing with my woman?" My heart melted.

He grabbed Steven and was about to hit but immediately dropped him. I couldn't understand why but both of them kept staring at each other as if they knew one another.

"Uncle?"

What? Am I hearing correctly? Are Jeffrey and Steven related? Jeffrey's shoulders dropped off the ground. This can't be happening, I had been a sugar baby to Steven's uncle all these while without knowing? What else about Jeffrey that I am yet to discover?

"What is happening here?" I asked but they kept staring at each other.

"Can someone explain this!" I yelled at the top of my voice.

"Jessica, Steven…..is…..he is my late brother' son."

"You must be joking, right?" He shook his head.

"Wait, did I hear you call her your woman, uncle? What do you mean by that?" He was silent, Steven looked at me.

"She never told me that she had a boyfriend, let alone a sugar daddy. Then how was I supposed to know?"

"Why should I tell you, Steven. We are even a thing. I kept giving you a hint to leave me alone but you never did."

Steven grabbed me by the hand and was about to kiss me forcefully in his drunken state but Jeffrey gave him a punch, hitting him square in the jaw and distorting him for a second.

"She told you no and you still went after her!"

He then grabbed his throat, hoisting him off the ground and Steven was visibly struggling for air. At that moment, I was actually frightened of Jeffrey.

"You will kill him, Jeffrey!"

I yelled but he didn't listen, he continued tightening his grasp on his neck. I was afraid, I don't want to be the reason why an Uncle will kill his nephew.

"Jeffrey, stop!"

He suddenly dropped him, letting his weak body fall to the ground. My eyes were brimming with tears already, he grabbed Steven's shirt again, hoisting him up and threatening him.

"If I ever catch you near her again, I swear to god, I will not hesitate to kick the living hell out of us. I don't care if you are related to me, stay away from Jessica." He dropped him and neatly shoved him out the door, glancing down at his shaking hands for a moment and examining cut knuckles.

Why is he willing to kill his nephew because of me? I am just his sugar baby or has he fallen for me? My whole body was trembling, not only because of Steven but because of how terrifying Jeffrey was. I had never seen this side of him before.

He turned to look at me, his eyes softening at my shaky self and took a couple steps towards me. I took a step backwards, my sight was already blurry. I was unable to comprehend the whole situation and I felt my energy driven out of my body.

"Jessica, are you okay?"

Those were the last words I heard before I finally lost consciousness of myself.
