Chapter 74
“When the hell are you going to tell her dude?” Ade growled, “It’s been two months, the sooner she finds out the better and the lesser the damage.”
“Ade, everything is going so well, I don’t want to ruin it.” Jace said, “Besides I think it’s better keeping things away from her.”
“Fuck shit man!” His best friend growled, “The woman you claim to love doesn’t know anything about you, how fucking rich you are, about your mafia or her mother.”
“It’s safer for her not knowing.”
“And it would be worse if she finds out from Russo.”
“Russo wouldn’t dare.” He growled, “I told him to mind his goddamn business.”
“Mind his business?” Ade snorted, “Russo minding his business would only happen when dragons shit coins which is never.” He said and Jace knew he was telling the truth.
“It’s been two months Jace, she sure deserves to know so she could forgive you earlier.”
“I can’t tell her.” He stood up from the table and moved to drop the dishes in the sink, “If she finds out she would get to know everything about my dark past.”
“Of course she has to know.” Ade said, “Don’t be selfish Jace.”
“I am not being selfish, no woman would stay with me knowing what has happened to me or what I have done.” He said, “She wouldn’t stay with me. I can’t let her leave me and she knowing the truth would result to her leaving me.”
“I trust she wouldn’t.” His best friend said, “She’s not like that.”
“How would you know?” Jace leaned against the kitchen counter, “I have seen the way she looks at me, like she has been wanting me to come along since all these while, I have seen how she trusts me and occasionally makes me know I make her happy, me telling her the truth would destroy it all and make her miserable again than she was when we met, an emotion I promised never to cause her. I can’t tell her the truth.”
Ade looked at his best friend and shook his head, not telling her the truth now was going to bring trouble and he knew it, they both knew it.
“Let me see that.” Daniella dragged the phone from Korina’s grasp, “Awwn.” She said gawking at the wallpaper, it was a picture of Korina smiling widely and Jace kissing her on the cheek, “You guys look so fucking cute.”
“Give me back my phone.” Korina dragged it from her and stuffed it back in her purse, “Mark and his girlfriend are having a baby, she’s three months gone.” She told her cousin.
“Oh my God, the player has been tamed and put to commitment.” Daniella said causing Korina to laugh, “When are you and Jace having a baby?” She asked suddenly.
“You better shut it Dan, you are such an idiot.” She snorted, “We are still knew to this.”
“Two months ain’t knew bitch.”
“And you have been in a relationship with Landon for two years, where are your kids?”
“Uhmmm…” Her cousin scratched her head, “What’s your favourite football club?”
“You are such an idiot Dan!” Korina rolled her eyes, picked up her purse and aimed it at her.
She was worried that she still hadn’t heard a knock on her door. Jace was usually at her house on weekends at exactly eight o’clock but it was about thirty minutes past eight now.
She paced around the apartment while waiting for him and then she went closer to the door to wait there so she could open up for him immediately he knocked.
“Got you!” Korina screamed immediately she heard the voice and felt herself being lifted up.
“Put me down.” She screamed, kicking and throwing her arms in the air.
“Calm down vixen, it’s me.” Jace laughed, “I am offended that you don’t know the feel of my arms.”
“Asshole.” She hit his head and he dropped her, “Dick!”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“I have a big one.”
“You such an idiot.” She screamed repeatedly hitting his chest, “Wanna give me a heart attack?”
“Hey! Hey!” He held her arms and laughed, “I am sorry okay.” He apologised, “I cooked for you, it’s lasagna.” He winked.
Korina’s gaze softened and she hugged him, “I miss you and your cooking.” She said, “You especially tho.” She whispered.
“I missed you too baby.” Jace placed a chaste kiss on her lips.
“How the hell did you get in?” She asked as he lifted her in his arms carrying her to the couch.
“I have my ways.” Jace laid her on the sofa, “Through the window.”
She rolled her eyes.
“Why didn’t you lock it?” He frowned looking at her worriedly, “I told you always to be careful, anything might happen.”
“You are too paranoid Jace.” She scoffed at him.
“And you need to be spanked.” He growled lowly and she clenched her thighs at the sound if his voice.
Jace brought his hand to her bum tracing slow tracing circles, “I want to spank you till you can’t sit.”
She shivered, excitement coursing through her, she licked her lips expecting him to continue his slow torture.
“And after that…” He whispered lowly in her ear, “Let’s go eat I am hungry.” He said smirking and stood up.
“Uggh!” She groaned, “Way to ruin the mood Jace.”
They finished their food and were laying on her bed now, Jace was stroking her hair with her head on his chest and her legs intertwined with his.
“Jace.”
“Hmm.”
“I feel like I don’t know much about you Jace.” Korina said.
“What do you mean babe?” He asked even while knowing fully well what she was referring to.
“I told you everything even to how my mother died.” She said, “But I don’t even know where you live, it’s been two months.”
“Aren’t you happy with me?” He frowned.
“Of course I am.” She smiled up at him, “But I could be happier knowing all about you, your house, your family and your childhood. I want you to share all about yourself with me.”
“I would.” Jace sighed, “I would when the time is right, it really is hard to tell.”
“You would tell me?” She asked.
“Yes, I would.”
“Promise?”
“Yes, I promise.” He whispered and he bent his head putting his lips on hers sealing their promise with a kiss.
