Spending the Night
Imaani
"I FEEL LIKE I'VE NOT SEEN YOU IN AGES" Sarah exclaimed exaggeratingly
"Bitch you better be joking, we saw each other like six days ago or so" I rested my head properly on my pillow while I held the phone in my hand
We were facetiming.
Sarah decided to travel with her new unknown bae to the Bahamas to chill according to how she put it.
But we both know they are going to be fucking, I know Sarah she's a fucking nymph and she also deserves the best.
So if this new bae is rich and good to her, it's her secret to keep and share when she wants.
"Yeah whatever, so tell me what you have been up to? I know you miss me" she replied in a sing-song voice while wiggling her brows
Oh, nothing much just got back from my date three days ago to find my boss bleeding on my carpet. I stitched him up and he ate me out to tears the next morning. You know, just a usual weekend for Imaani
"Yeah, I miss you. Nothing much I was sick last week like you know, and I already told you about my date with William during the weekend. My Sunday was not eventful" bloody liar "just numerous binge-watching and eating"
I hoped she wouldn't be able to tell if I was being honest or not.
It's not like I don't plan on telling her what happened between Jax and me, I just don't plan on telling her while her man is probably sitting close by.
"So you and William huh?" She gave me the side eye
"Me and William what? I laugh "trust me tthere'snothing going on there, he was only being friendly for ruining my name"
"Yeah right, friendly my ass. He was being friendly and he took you to his favourite ice cream spot from when he was younger, girl! he wants to hit that"
"Sarah please, not every man wants to fuck me for heaven's sake, I think he has a girlfriend he's always on his phone smiling, I may have caught him once or twice" I laughed along with her
"Girl, have you seen yourself? I'd fuck you if I could" she said the last bit with a smile on her face as she looked past the camera range at something else.
So her man was there, I'm glad I didn't say anything crazy.
I cleared my throat to get her attention back "So your man got a name?" I smiled at her as I noticed the expression on her face
She was happy, genuinely happy.
I loved this for her.
"You'll know when the time is right"
"Yes ma'am" I agreed not planning on bugging her about the issue any more.
One thing I know about Sarah is if she not telling me his name or anything about him yet, the relationship is either new or she wants to see where it will end up from here.
All I care about is her happiness.
"So how was work today? Did Dean pretend like he doesn't fuck Emily after work on Mondays?"
"Girl, how in the hell do you know their routine?" I laughed
"One of us gotta keep up with the office gossip, and it can't be you"
"Whatever it's not my fault I'm a tad bit antisocial"
"Antisocial my ass, how's He?" Sarah suddenly asked the question I know she's been wanting to ask
I knew exactly who she was talking about and I didn't feel like pretending not to.
"He's fine I guess, I've not heard from him in a while" that was only a half lie. I've not heard from him since I took him to the hospital and dropped him off at his place.
"So nothing? No calls or texts he has not even asked about the contract?"
The contract was right in front of me while we talked.
The same one I had read over twice.
"We'll talk about everything when you get back" I didn't want it to be that the first time we talked about everything was over the phone, where a stranger was sitting close by.
"I understand. I'll be back in two days. Pick me up from the airport?"
I raised my brow at the question. But I didn't press further about it. "Who else would?" I laughed
"I've got to go but I'll text you later. Take care"
"You too, babes" I ended the call and laid back on my bed with a loud gasp.
My hand went to the contract lying on my stomach, I picked it up and just stared at It, not reading it just staring at the page.
I picked up my phone and scrolled through my messages before clicking on his name and seeing my last text to him still on delivered.
I lay in bed thinking, my brain continuously racking itself.
What if he got hurt again?
Or he's bleeding out and can't get help.
Okay, that's dumb.
I wanted to know how he was doing. Part of me also wanted to be mad at him for not calling or texting me back for two days.
But I also knew I couldn't just turn up at his place, the only reason being I came to check up on him because he has not replied to my messages.
My eyes went to the contract and I immediately knew I'd regret the idea that just came to me
"Fuck" I muttered as I picked up my pen and signed the contract.
This is it. This is how my strict sex relationship with Jaxon Smith started.
I got up, grabbed my keys and made my way to my car.
I kept repeating the mini pep talk I was giving myself till it became a chant.
It's just sex, you had a crush on him but not anymore. You have to forget about whatever emotion was starting to brew in you towards him.
The contract stated that they were both allowed to have other partners apart from each other.
And no sex without protection.
That was completely cool with me.
It also stated that the contract allows them to explore whatever kinks she may have furthermore.
It also had a section where it said "the parties are allowed to be friends apart from sex if they're interested, but they cannot be more than friends." (This would not be an issue for the male party because he is certain that he can be friends with the female in question without any feelings attached)
I scoffed when I came across that part.
I breathed in deeply as I glance at the building where Jax lives. I just need to have the guts to get out of my car and go in.
"Okay you can do this," I said to myself as I got down from my car with the contract in hand.
I made my way up into the elevator a complete nervous wreck. I was so close to turning around and giving up.
Ding
I stood still in front of the door contemplating my choices. Weighing the pros and cons in my head.
Just do it Imaani you're already here, turning back now will be a waste of time and a dumb move. You want to know how he's doing and you also signed the contract so just get it over with.
"Here goes nothing," I say and punch in the code to let myself in.
Don't judge me, I still remember it from when I dropped him off at the hospital.
"Jax? Hello, Is anyone here?" I call out loudly after entering the house and seeing it quiet and a bit messy.
I look around and make my way towards the kitchen, empty too.
I drop the envelope containing the contract on the counter and fish around for my phone before calling Jax's number.
It is ringing.
"Jax? Hey, it's- Ah! what the Fuck!" I turn around to find a gun in my face
"Fuck! Imaani I'm so sorry, I thought someone...broke in" he placed the gun down and went to sit on the couch
He looks sick
"What the fuck you could have killed me! Why do you even have a gun?" I was too shocked to reduce my tone
"But I didn't."
"Yeah, but what if you did?"
He ran a hand across his face to his hair defeatedly "And I didn't. Like I said I'm sorry." He says
I kicked myself mentally for not taking note of his present state. But don't blame me, I had a gun pointed at my face. Anyone would react that way.
"You look like Shit. Have you taken your pills"
"I feel like Shit. Yeah I have but the pills are for the bullet wound not the cold I have"
"Okay, go back to bed I'll help you clean up this mess and make some soup, Is that good?"
"You don't have to stay I'm okay"
Fool.
"Yeah right, you sure do look okay" I replied sarcastically as I helped him to the couch
"I don't need your help"
"Well I'm offering it, so shut up!"
He reluctantly agreed and walked off to his room I heard him mutter under his breath "Stubborn woman" before he walked off.
I made my way to the kitchen and took all the ingredients out for the soup. After placing it on fire to cook I went into his living room and cleared it up.
Several minutes later "Hey, the soups ready I need you to sit up," I said, and I placed the tray of food beside him on the bed.
He sniffed and wiped at his nose " Thank you" his voice was groggy.
"You're welcome, here's your phone you left it in the living room"
"I've been looking for It, thank you" he took a spoonful of the soup and scrolled through his phone " You texted me?" I'm sorry I didn't reply." He replied calmly
"Oh no, it's Okay. I understand"
He finished up the soup and placed the tray on the table before slipping underneath his duvet and laying down.
"I'll be going-" he cut me off as he pats the space beside him with his hands beckoning me to lie down
"Don't, it will help me sleep." He murmured softly
I looked at the bed
This was not part of the plan Imaani.
I lay down in front of him and felt his hand go around my waist before he pulled me closer.
"Thank you. Tomorrow we'd talk about what's in that envelope" he whispered while holding me
Fuck!
