Burst the bubble

Chapter thirty-eight
Jayde
I stare wide at Henry, my legs shaking under me. Even my hands shook slightly. I realize I'm not even wearing a face mask.
But how did he get to know this place? I've always worn a face mask to the club.
Or does he know the truth now? OMG! What should I do?
Gosh! Am I going to get apprehended? I quickly imagine myself behind the bar, begging the polices to open the door for me. Screaming and beseeching them to let me out.
"Hey!" Henry snaps at me. I look at him, confused and speechless.
"Henry, I_," I started but he cuts me off.
"You don't have to say a word," he takes a step closer and my heartbeat skyrocket, " Are you alright," he touches my forehead slightly and I jerk back.
" What are you doing?" I yell at him.
He glanced back before looking back at me, "I'm your husband, remember?"
Seriously? So, he is not aware of the fact that I'm not his beautiful wife. I'm Jayde! Gosh, I don't believe he's here to take me back.
"Hey, see! I'm not Hattie!" I tell him.
He stares at me, his face holding no hint of what is going through his mind. He suddenly burst out laughing hard. I put a finger over my head and massage my temple to prevent myself from getting angrier than I intend to.
"Hey, see Hattie. It doesn't matter if you don't love me. You don't sincerely have to lie about you not being Hattie," he made to enter but I pull the door close at his face, only stopping it for me to look at him.
"What are you doing?" He gathers his brows and looks at me.
"I said I'm not Hattie! I don't even know who you are! Except well, you got married to Hattie Everett last week."
He rolls his eyes and it kind of wants to make me laugh, "Seriously?"
"Seriously? Now leave before I call the police," I threaten him.
He laughs again, " You want to call the police on your husband?" He says dramatically.
I nod once look over him again until my eyes rest on his lips. I've missed those and I feel like having a taste of it.
Gosh! I must be going insane!
"Hey! Leave while you still can," I say and slam the door over his face.
I don't believe this. Did he get my whereabouts? What if he brings the police over? How will I defend the fact that I'm not Hattie?
Well, I will just show them my National identity card. Yet, it feels so weird. Won't they guess I was the one at the wedding party?
I sit and try to steady my heavy breathing, even my hands are still shaking with great shock.
What should I do? I can't even call James because I don't have his number. Perhaps, I should go and see him at home.
God, I'm so scared. I don't even know what to do.
I should get dressed and go see James. I enter the bathroom and shower. I choose blue jeans and a pink hoodie.
Well, I got lots of nice wears for myself. And I still have over half a million in my account. Though, I and mom haven't decided on how we will spend it.
I wear a sandal and grab my phone and a face mask before walking out of the house.
I search around for Henry and discover he's not around. I'm so happy about that.
I place the mask over my nose and mouth before rushing to stop a car.
None of the cars stopped. I sigh and wait for the next car. I'm so in a hurry to wait for the bus. I will just go in the car. Also, I don't want anything that might make anyone suspect me.
With a bus, you will never know. The bus is always crowded while with the car, there's privacy.
A car was coming over again. I wave him down but made to walk closer. Suddenly, someone walks past me, his fingers go to my left ear, removing the handle of the nose mask.
I gasp as I realize what has been done.
Just immediately, a hand holds my left arm and suddenly whirl me around, until I'm resting against his thick and strong chest.
His cologne smelled familiar. Of course, it will because I smelled it some minutes back. I didn't know Henry was still in the neighborhood.
I pull back but he draws me to himself again and pins me down, making me helpless.
"You don't want people to take pictures of you here, or will you?" His thick voice makes my throat itch.
I hate to admit but I love being in this position. I unconsciously wrap my arms around him, staying in the position for as long as he wanted. I only wanted to have this moment and remember it.
Gosh! I don't know how I'm over heels over Henry.
Declan is handsome too but he never made me feel so helpless with his touch. Though, there were sparks.
Gosh, it's all about being rich and classic.
For a reason, I want to claim Hattie and return to the confines of his house. I want to wake up with him beside me. I want to do this every time.
Gosh, I want to have all of him. Why is that so hard for me to do? Because I'm not Hattie.
But why can't Hattie just wake up and spare me the stress of having to make a decision? Of having to decide if to stay with this handsome and hot man or not.
I don't think I can keep rejecting it. Unless tie can wake up now.
Gosh, I hate this.
Henry moves slowly. Even with me holding his body like I want nothing else, he's still able to move it. It shows how strong he is, definitely and with no doubt.
"Enter," he says in a thick voice. When I hesitated, he turn me around so quickly and push me inside the car.
He gets in beside me. I look up at him and discover he's with a nose mask as well. He removed it and look back at me.
"Drive!" He says, his look still on me. The engine rolls back to life and I stare helplessly at the chauffeur.
What are they going to do with me?
Has thee called?
"Where are you taking me to?" I turn back to Henry and he's still watching me with those cold eyes. Is this like a war or am I going to prison?
"Guess where!" He says defiantly.
"Behind the bar?"
He laughs again, his face softens and makes my heartaches. He looks more handsome whenever he smiles.
"For what? You can't be serious?"
I raise a brow, confused. Where is he taking me to then?
"I mean isn't this because I said I'm not_," I was cut off by his finger on my lips. Even his fingers smell so nice. I could eat him whole.
"I'm taking you home darling," he says in a voice that reminds me so much of what they call bedroom voice.
He withdraws his finger and stressed him, "Everyone is in chaos at your sudden disappearance. I can't even go to work and I had to mourn every day. I hope you will understand all this and cooperate with me."
" But, I told you I'm not," I try again but I'm pulled to a stop when his lips touch mine.
I melt under his touch. I surrender and let him kiss me. He started softly, kissing my lower lips, then advancing to penetrate my mouth. His tongue touches my lips slightly and I open my mouth freely for him to penetrate.
My hands go around him, touching the strong chest underneath the suit he's putting on.
He pulls back suddenly and looks at me with eyes that speak wants. I hate to admit it but I feel we both wanted the same thing.
Though I can't say if he was just playing with me or he has started to fall for me.
What am I saying? He can only see me as Hattie Everett and not Jayde.
"My wife," he started, his fingers tracing my face to my chest, he stops briefly and I realize he was looking over at my cleavages.
I was in a hurry that I didn't know the dress I chose was exposing the top much than it should.
I couldn't push him back and I couldn't even stop myself from wanting more.
"Can't wait to have her husband," he completed, with a voice as deep as the desire flowing all around him.
He smiles again as he looks up at me. My arms are still around him which makes movement impossible for him.
I will have to let go but that feels so difficult. I don't know why I can't pull away.
Before thinking much about it, I pull myself up a bit and kiss him
