Chapter 13



Rachel

“What took you guys so long,” asked Daniel, seeing us enter the house.

I turned my head at Jayce who had his handful of groceries, before answering anything. “Nothing, we just can’t decide what we want to buy, and making a decision takes time.”

Daniel nodded, but I’m not sure that he accepted the answer I had given him. Whatever, I can’t tell him the truth that I was flirting with Jayce and trying to seduce him.

I sighed remembering the rejection I got in the supermarket. I would never have guessed that Jayce had changed so much in the past few years, that he even refused sex with me.

That’s unbelievable. In the past, we were humping like rabbits at any chance we had, but now sex is the last thing on Jayce’s mind.

“Where is grace,” asked Jayce, distracting me from my thoughts.

“She’s asleep,”

Jayce nodded, placing the bags on the kitchen counter. “Let her sleep, I think you should take some rest too. Me and Rachel can handle things here.”

“Okay, call me if I need help,” Daniel said, leaving both me and Jayce alone.

We both started working silently, no one wanted to say anything. The tension that we had in the supermarket still exists between us.

“So what is on the menu tonight,” I asked with a smile, trying to change the subject and ease some tension between us.

“Grace likes chicken, so I was thinking maybe something with chicken,” Jayce said.

“Great, how about lemon chicken? It is both delicious and healthy too.”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Jyace nodded, starting to prepare the ingredients for the dish.

We both start working as silence surrounds us. We were helping each other, but yet not talking. The tension which was surrounding us before is somehow still between us.

I don’t know how to make things work and lighten the environment between us.

But before I could think of anything, Jayce spoke, breaking the silence himself. “I know you’re sad about my decision earlier, but I do believe in myself. I literally want to make things work between us.” Jayce said, turning his head towards me. “I was so different before, I have never realized how important your presence was in my life. At the beginning of the relationship, you were just a vessel to satisfy my cravings, but as time passed and we came closer and to each I realized how important you’re to me, you are a light to me. You dark world. And slowly I learned how important you’re to me, but my fear always kept me bound from taking the next step, the step that is crucial to any relationship. I was scared that you would reject me,” Jayce sighed. “Scared that you’d leave me, but that when I found you drunk and you confessed your feelings I knew that I had to speak now or I might lose you forever, but who would know that would be the day I saw you,”

Holding both his hands in mine. “You’re not the only one to blame here, we both made mutual decisions and somehow we knew that we found comfort in each other’s arms.”

“I know,” Jace said, squeezing my hand. “But there is so much that is still a secret from you, things about my past, and until I share all those things with you, I don’t think I can do as you want. You know what I mean…”

I nodded, “How about sharing a bit each day, because you aren’t the only one with secrets here.”

JAyce nodded, with a smile.

And with these little conversations, the tension that was in between us, somehow seemed to disappear. “Let’s cook fast, I’m hungry,”

“Me too,” Jayce smiled. As we both prepared the meal with such ease, talking to each other and laughing at each other’s jokes. And within a few minutes the food was cooked and served.

“Wow, everything looks so delicious,” I said, admiring our handy work.

“We are professional, this is what we do day and night.”

“Yeah right,” I said, tasting a spoonful of food to taste.

I closed my eyes as a moan escaped from my mouth as the flavor of the tender chicken melted in my mouth. It was delicious. I’m sure Grace will like it too.

Opening my eyes, Jyace’s face came shockingly close to mine, with his pupil dark, and face stern. I don’t know what he is up to but he raised his hand, moving it towards my face, his thumb gently gliding over my lips, before moving it towards him, and sliding in his mouth, sucking his thumb, slowly yet seductively. “Delicious”

I moaned, unknowingly watching his expression, all senses numb. “How the fuck am I going to take things slow if you act like that?”

“Like I do when I act,” Jyace replied, turning his head, waking away, leaving me with a teasing smile on his face.

“Fuck you…,” I said, to his back. ” And I literally mean every tiny bit of it.”

“What are you guys doing here?”

I turned my head looking at the source of the voice that was coming from Daniel, who is standing with Grace, staring at my face as if I have grown an extra pair of eyes.

Did he hear my conversation with Jayce, or not?

I shook my head, diverting my head, from unnecessary thoughts, why should I worry about what he heard or not. Yes, I shouldn’t.

“Great timing guys, dinner is all ready,” I said, changing the subject in an attempt to divert everyone’s mind. “Let’s eat before everything gets cold.”

I started serving the food as everyone took their seats, Grace and Jayce both sat either side of mine on the table.

Everything seems fine, until Grace places her hand on mine, staring at my face sternly, “Can we talk after dinner, just the two of us,” she said as she turned her head, continuing to eat her food.

I nodded my head, starting to feel some tension on the air.
