Chapter fifty-nine: He Will Come Back To Me

Chapter fifty-nine: He Will Come Back To Me

Jessica

"Where would you like to visit next?"

Jeffrey asked as we were heading towards the car, we also stopped at the Burberry store so he could loot some new shirts that had just arrived at their store.

"Um, I don't know." I buckled my seat belt.

I glanced around the area, seeing all these fancy and luxurious buildings that made me feel more poor than I was already.

"I have never seen so many high-end stores on one street."

"Are there any specific ones you want to visit?"

I turned around to look at, he was scrolling through the map on France on his phone, looking at the shopping areas around us.

"There is Dior, not too far from here and Calvin Klein also. I think there is Chanel store somewhere around here….m"

"Jeffrey?"

I covered his phone screen with my hand so he would stop searching for a store. He looked up at me and gave me a questioning look.

"I really just want to get some food."

We found ourselves at a restaurant not too far from our last stop. I was excited to finally get some food in my system after a long day exploring the city and shopping luxuriously. I wondered if this was how Jeffrey spent all his holidays, going shopping for the latest fashion trends all day and not worrying about how much he spent because he will just make three times more than he spent within a week.

He insisted on taking me to Buccellati since I had mentioned it during lunch and how amazing it would be to see the beautiful jewelry in person. I refused to let him buy me any of it though, he had bought enough for me today already and a diamond necklace was pushing it.

We left the store after a few more minutes of browsing, Jeffrey grabbing my hand as we walked and intertwined our gloved fingers. I loved that he felt the need to treat me with expensive dining and clothing but it was still very new to me to have someone actually wanting to buy things for me all the time and at those steep prices.

"Shall we head back home?" I nodded.

I was looking forward to a cozy snuggle session with him, sitting by the fire, maybe drinking some hot chocolate with some music playing in the background.

We arrived back at his mansion and dropped the things we bought in this bedroom. I went to the drawer to find his sweatpants to change into and I could hear him running the bath in the bathroom. He walked out after a few minutes as I was removing my clothes. He placed his hand on my small back and I turned my head to look at him.

"Come on," he said, nodding towards the bathroom.

I scrunched my brows for a moment but followed, walking into the bathroom to see a beautiful claw-foot tub, candles lit on the shelves beside it. The walls are filled with rose petals floating on the water's surface. My jaw dropped as he turned to look at me, placing his index finger under my chin, pushing my mouth close.

"It is beautiful, Jeffrey. You don't have to….."

"I know I didn't have to." He shrugged and tucked a stray hair behind my ear.

"But I like doing things for you."

I smiled and he reached down to grab the hem of my shirt, pulling it up over my head. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him for a kiss, letting my tongue slip into his mouth before he could do so to mine. His fingers tugged on my pants, pulling them down my legs and I eventually kicked them off. He removed his shirt and pants as well and we did our best to not detach our lips. His hands roamed my exposed body, stopping at the hook of my bra.

He leaned his forehead against mine as we broke the kiss, our nose brushing and his eyes staring into mine.

"You are so beautiful." He whispered and I blushed as his lips came in contact with my cheek.

His fingers unhooked my bra and let it slide down my shoulder. He left a trail of kisses down my neck, his fingers tugged down my thighs and then he kissed my right thing, sending chills throughout my entire body. His hands roamed their way up to my hips as he stood and I took that moment to grab his boxers and tug them down his legs.

I felt so vulnerable at this moment, more vulnerable than I had ever felt before. We weren't rushing to have sex, we weren't attacking each other in any way with kisses. Everything was slow and intimate and it was quite terrifying to say the least.

I was scared for no reason. Being naked with him was no new experience for me but when he wasn't pleasuring me or buying me gifts, he was simply being a boyfriend by being a romantic gentleman, it felt weird. It was the ghost of my past relationships experience coming back to haunt me. As he grabbed my hand to lead me over the tub, he climbed in, sitting down and allowing me space to sit in front of him.

I stepped into the streaming bath, scooting closer to him and leaned back on his chest as he wrapped his arms around me. He kissed my cheek before tightening his embrace, making me feel more at ease and less anxious.

I hated that looming feeling, it felt wrong of me to have those doubts, to feel it would be the same as him. It has been over four years since I had last seen him and hopefully I would never see him again but a part of me feels as if he may return. Not in flesh but his actions will be the same in someone else and I will repeat history. That was a part of me that I had chosen to avoid for so long.

I don't want to think of Jeffrey that way, I believe he is different and not every guy has the same intentions.

"Jessica?" His voice suddenly heard and it broke me from my horrible thoughts, turning my head slightly to face him.

"Yes, Jeffrey?" He was silent for a moment and then spoke softly.

"Promise me that you will always be mine."

I fully turned to face him, his eyes were very glossy and he seemed to have read my mind or felt the same emotions that I was currently having. Either way, I nodded.

"I am yours, Jeffrey always."

He pressed his lips to my forehead and pulled me close, resting his head on mine.


***

Later that night, I cuddled extra close to Jeffrey, feeling like every day was passing by too quickly. I didn't want this to end, I was too used to the routine of being around him.

What am I going to do after I go back to college? I could always facetime him but our time zone is different but we would plan it accordingly. I can't go to his house in Katagum anymore. His stuff is there but he is having people move in within the next month which means the house won't belong to him anymore.

I finally decided that I wasn't going to think about it anymore, it only made me teary and worrisome. I kissed his bare chest, he stirred the slightest but he was awake enough to tighten his grip around me, securing me in place.

I told myself that night before I fell asleep that no matter what, Jeffrey would always come back to me.

He will definitely return to me.
