LOGINHe was trying to hide his smile. "Do I make you nervous?""No, now if you could please excuse me I have some studying to do" I tried to escape."Wait" He caged me with his arms.

View MoreAfter finishing my work and assignments, I looked up the clock to see the time. It was 6 pm. I had only an hour to get ready. Shit! I rushed into the bathroom and took a nice shower. It came out of the bathroom in a flimsy towel and let out a scream when I found Jake on the bed looking at his phone, my towel almost slipping from my body.“Jesus! I thought you were going to be late. You scared me, Jake.” I huffed and tied my towel tighter around my body and walked over to the dressing table.
Jake’s POV:I woke up early the next day and started working on the presentation for the new hotel that I was going to build. We have been working on it for months now and it was my dream project. Dad has been proud of my work so far but I had to work even harder. I was busy in the study room that I didn’t notice her entering. She pushed my laptop and sat on my lap and I cradled her.“Why are you up so early?” she said in a sleepy voice. I noticed
“Hey, didn’t you go home?” I asked James once I was in front of him.“No, Ms.Albright. I’m really sorry about everything. At least one good thing happened at the end of all this.” He sighed and we both sat down.“Tell me what happened after I left town.” I placed the food on the seat beside me and turned towards him.
Ispent two days in boredom. As much as Iloved coming home. I had nothing to do here. I spoke with Emma and told her about what happened. She had been following the news too and tried to comfort me. I didn’t speak with Jake much. Whenever I called, it went straight to voicemail and I always got a text saying he was busy. What was he busy with? It’s not like there was any improvement with the case. He is not going to the office too. I was losing my mind and missed him so badly. It was my birthday tomorrow. Did he even know about it? I didn’t mention it to him. If he was sneaky enough to find out my mom’s phone number, he should have known about my birthday. I don’t think he was going to come down here and I thought of heading back to New York tomorrow.
