Chapter 21
jack
I couldn't sleep. All because the hottest asshole was in the next room. And every time I started to doze off, I had impure thoughts about Mr. Ice! I decide to talk to God, to have a light: - Lord, take this temptation away from me, I beg you... I need to get out of here. Both of us in the same environment, it won't work...
I jump out of bed, get dressed, go to the bathroom, brush my teeth, splash some water on my face, grab my bag, check that everything is there... “PUTZ”... my gun...
I totally forgot I left the gun in the drawer in Alex's office. I sneak around the house, I pass his room, I call Estrelinha, who was very comfortable in the hottie's bed, I pick her up, I go down the stairs, taking great care not to wake anyone. I leave Estrelinha on the living room floor and go to the office.
Everything was dark and the apartment was silent. I hate the dark, having to go into places without lighting bothers me a lot, but if I wanted to go home, sleep the sleep of the righteous, that was necessary. I walk into the office, turn on the lights, open the drawer, grab my gun, put it in my holster, and walk out happily. When I go back to the living room to get Estrelinha, I get a fright... Alex is sitting on the couch in that pitch black. - Where do you think you're going? He says in that husky voice.
Damn it. Did he have to be awake? And did he need to scare me? "Well, I'm leaving..." I reply, looking without looking at him, who was only wearing his pajama pants. What a spectacle that breastplate... it was a spectacle. Beloved Jesus, this man is pure sin! I was there, traveling in my thoughts
— That, I realized. — I smile and the only thing that crosses my mind before answering is holy shit don't smile like that, man I fall in love with. Oh damn where did that come from? I think frightening myself with the direction of thoughts that were coming.
"Then why ask?" I ask without letting on the confusion that was forming inside me.
"Because I don't understand your hurry." Wait until dawn,” he says in that husky voice and, God, this man isn't real, he just can't!
“Why… why…” I stutter, trying to come up with some excuse.
“No justification for leaving like a fugitive you have,” he says, still smiling at me.
At the time, the only excuse I could find was:
"I need to go train, at the club!" I lie and he knows it.
- Serious? Training at that time? Can't this wait until tomorrow? He asks me mockingly. And my will is to attack that man.
"You're asking too many questions, don't you think?" — I ironically.
- Not really. I just want to know why this crazy desire to leave. He says shrugging his shoulders.
— I already answered you. I say nervously, watching him come toward me like a feline snatching its prey.
“Marrentinha…” he blurts out and I look surprised to hear it from his mouth.
— Sledgehammer? I ask in disbelief.
“Yes, my little sledgehammer,” he says simply.
- Your? I'm not your sledgehammer.” I reply annoyed. Who did he think he was to think I was his little brat?
— Ah, yes you are, only Mine and nobody else's! - confirms.
"Really, you don't have a week." I say, wanting to hit him.
"I'm just telling the truth!" He says shrugging his shoulders.
“Don't start talking nonsense,” I beg, not wanting to hear anything.
“Oh, come on, my little sledgehammer. You know damn well we were made for each other,” Alex says with such conviction I almost believe it.
“Take it easy there, friend. We barely know each other and you're already calling me a sledgehammer? — I deflect.
"Jackeline, we're over that last night, aren't we?" I remind her and watch her blush.
“Alex, you better go back to sleep.” I deflect quickly.
- What is your fear? he asks me getting closer to me.
- I? I'm not afraid of anything! I shrug it off and take a step back.
"Are you afraid of falling in love with me?" he asks me.
“I think you hit your head. - I comment wanting to deflect, because I didn't want to talk about my feelings.
“We both know you're lying, my little brat.
“I'm not,” I say, stamping my foot. "Stop calling me a sledgehammer!" - I look at him crookedly.
'You still don't understand?' You're my little pussy,” he says, all self-assured. “As much as you deny it, one day you'll know I'm right.
“No, you're wrong! - I declare denying how right he was and that scared the shit that inhabited me. - Now enough blah blah blah, because we're going to talk about it and it's time for me to leave. - I say pulling away from him.
"Stay a little longer" he asks me getting close to me and I pull away. The temptation is too much.
“No. I have to go,” I warn, desperate to get away from him.
'Stubborn woman!' - He says frustrated. - Jackeline, it's still dawn, wait for dawn at least.
— Jeez, annoying man! - I say angry, with irony, I look at the clock and I decide to give in.
“You know I'm right,” he declares, flashing a victorious smile for I have given in.
“Okay. You're right,” I reply, annoyed.
I get away from him, crouch to pick up Little Star. Alex comes after me and says, giving me a big fright:
"Jackeline, are you really staying?" - He asks and I try to calm my heart that is there, racing. How did this man come walking by me and I didn't notice?
“Damn it, Alex! — I get up quickly and have a slight vertigo. I'm practically falling to the ground, that's when I feel Alex's hands on me.
- Are you okay? - he asks me worried while he looks at me with affection and tenderness. I'm more confused by the flood of feelings I'm feeling...
No one had ever worried about me like that. I know it sounds silly, but I'm not a flirt person. Men are afraid to relate to a security, and also with my service and training routine, I hardly have time for relationships at all. Alex was there so solicitously that I was mesmerized by his beautiful black eyes. I find it funny the power he has to make me feel safe. He stares at me waiting for my answer
- Yes, do not worry. He helps me up and I sit with him beside me.
"Are you sure you're okay?" he asks again, I reassure him by seeing how scared he was.
- Yes I am. It was just a slight dizziness,” I reply with a shrug.
"Don't you want to go to the doctor?" he says worriedly.
- No! I practically scream.
- OK! He tries to calm me down. - If you say.
This man is too sexy for my sanity. I was really touched by the way he treated me. Maybe I'm being ungrateful in venting my frustrations on him,
“I'm fine, don't worry anymore,” I say sweetly.
"See, you better stay here?" - Alex says taking advantage of my weakness, but I have to agree.
"I'll stay, I told you!" I warn and hear her sigh.
- That's great. Now I can be more relaxed. But what are we going to do until dawn?
What the hell! Does he need to talk about it? At that moment, my mind wanders and I imagine Alex fucking me on top of the couch. Just with that image, I'm panting, I feel a tightness in my chest and a crazy urge to attack him right there, but I control myself, I break the mood by saying:
'I need to get some coffee.' I get up and head straight to the kitchen. He follows me.
Some hours later...
Alex
I was abandoned by Jackeline, who ran straight to the kitchen. Oh, stubborn woman! I haven't stopped thinking about her since the office thing... She's driving me crazy and horny at the same time. I want this woman for myself. Now I'm sitting on the couch with her dog next to me, she looks at Estrelinha and I say:
— Yeah, it looks like we're alone here. Your mistress is pretty stubborn, isn't she? — I caress her, she falls apart. “I'll do anything for her to stay with me. I get up from the couch and follow Jack into the kitchen. She is making coffee and the aroma perfumes the whole house. I help her bring things to the table, whoever sees her thinks we're a couple, such is the harmony we have. I'm happy with that thought. We sit down to enjoy our coffee and Jack says:
“Your maid isn't going to like this mess at all. She says shrugging her shoulders.
"As I told you, I'm the boss here!" I reply, checking how well she manages in the kitchen.
"Alex, what time do the twins get up?" – Jackeline asks curiously.
— In a little while they'll go to my room and jump on my bed to wake me up. Then we went downstairs and we all went to the kitchen for breakfast.
"You have wonderful children!" she says fondly.
- Thanks. Thank you so. I know it sounds silly, but I don't want a crazy woman making my kids' lives hell,” I comment.
- I know that. That's why I'll take care of them for you.
She speaks with such assurance and affection that I want to hug this woman. My little brat! I pour myself some more coffee and we talk about various subjects. I feel so complete with Jack's company! The only thing that went through my head was, “This little sledgehammer is going to be mine, whatever the cost.” I hear noises upstairs, and I knew the twins were already awake. They descend quickly and are happy to see Jackeline again. Valentina runs into her arms all happy
"Good morning, Jackeee!" — She greets her so happily and I'm thrilled to see how in a short time, my little marrent won not only me but my children.
"Good morning, Mom..." Caio grabs her legs. I notice he blushes, Jack looks at me, and then Gaius says, "Sorry, Jack...
She smiles at him, gives him a kiss on the cheek and doesn't say anything else, we prepare breakfast for the twins, that for me was surreal. All through breakfast, I had a silly smile on my face to see my kids happy with Jackeline. Undoubtedly, Caio and Valentina had already approved of my future wife.
"Jack, did you sleep here at home?" ? they ask and she is silent.
"Yes, she slept here!" I answer and her faces light up.
"Are you two dating?" they shout happily, I laugh and Jackeline looks at me shocked. And I look at her and I think “Yeah, my little marrent, you were chosen to be their mother” and “I chose you to be my wife”, and so they sit down and start drinking their coffee, we play and talk , everything was perfect there.
