Chapter 45
Romeo
I knew when she said “Even marriage?” it was a joke but the shivers that went through my body only thinking of marriage was something I can’t explain. I promised myself I won’t ever fall in that trap again. I tried to calm her down for over an hour before she said it would be better if she just goes home and go and work through the weekend and everything that happened. I asked Elijah to take her back to her apartment. “Jenn Elijah will be the person that drives you around from now on like bringing you to me and taking you to your dad, okay?” “Yes, it’s fine.” “You do have his number?” “I do” “Good if anything happens and I mean anything you need help with and you can’t get hold of me you call him okay he will always answer.” “I’ve never needed anyone to come to my rescue Romeo why would I now?” “Jenn we’ve talked about it I look after what is mine and after this weekend you are mine. Besides we still don’t know what Kyle is going to do.” “Fine I don’t want to fight.” “I’m not fighting with you Jenn I just want you protected at all times.” “Okay.” I pulled her towards me and kissed her, I knew she was angry and frustrated and I hoped my hug will make her feel a little better. “Please remember the rules and I expect of you to be honest with me when I ask you something.” “I will be Romeo just give me today to collect myself okay a lot has happened.” “Okay Jenn I’ll call you tonight.” “Talk later.” She said before she got in the Mercedez, which was also amour plated, she just didn’t know that, like I said I protect what is mine.
Jennifer
Romeo tried to calm me down after I came back from my dad but it was a struggle especially because my dad phoned every few minutes. I’ve never walked out on him before but I was definitely not going to sit and listen to him today. He took it too far. Elijah and I drove in silence to my apartment when we got there, he insisted on taking my bags up to my apartment but the weird thing was he insisted on going into my apartment alone and make sure everything is safe. I decided not to make a fuss or ask questions I was just too tired and if that was going to get him to leave quicker than I’m all for it. “You can come in Jennifer.” “Thank you, Elijah.” “No problem please if anything is wrong call me in fact make me your first emergency number.” “I’ll do that Elijah but I really don’t know why I would call you.” “Boss said you might have a problem with your ex. I’ll sort it out but I can’t do anything if I don’t know about it.” “Okay okay I’ll call you. Thank you for bringing me home.” “My pleasure.” When he walked out, I locked the door and slide to the floor crying. I was holding in this break down since last night and now I just couldn’t anymore. I sat against the front door just crying thinking about what my dad said and what my friends did. Romeo’s rules didn’t even come up in my mind I was to stuck on my father wanting me to get married and my friends socializing with my ex-boyfriend. After about a half an hour I got up and decided to go lie in the bath. I filled the bath with warm water and some lavender oils hopefully it will calm me down. I got into the bath with a glass of white wine, how clever that was I don’t know because I haven’t eaten since last night, but so be it. I laid back and just enjoyed the warm water loosening my muscles. My phone rang again when I looked at the caller ID it was my dad again. I just left it to go over to voice mail. I wanted to put my phone off completely but I don’t think Romeo will be too happy about it if he is looking for me. I laid back wondering where my dad is coming from, I know he wanted me to take over the business but that is still years from now. Why did I have to marry now why did he need someone now. I couldn’t think of anything I mean his healthy so it’s not a health issue. I got to the conclusion it’s just another thing he can hold over me. Forcing me to close down the bakery. I got out of the bath and dressed in some fluffy PJ’s I wanted to feel warm then I got into bed. My head was way to fuzzy and all over the place I won’t be able to think of anything or should I say rationally think about anything. I send Romeo a message:
Hi Romeo
I’m going to take a nap; my father has been calling me none stop. I’m going to put my phone of. I’ll message you as soon as I’m awake.”
Jenn
Then I pressed send. I waited for an answer from him before I put my phone of
“Hi Jenn
No problem but please put your phone back on when you are awake. And darling don’t worry I’ll sort everything out I promise.”
R”
I read the message again, first time he called me darling, then switch the phone of. How on earth is he going to sort everything out. I know I told him I trust him and he can talk to my dad but there is no way he could talk to my dad and sort everything out without my dad finding out about us. And that is yet another problem. I pulled the duvet over my head and started to cry.
