Carina had woken up an hour after Jayden had left the house. She felt a slight headache, but Nanny Perla was there to give her medication.Her stomach cried out in hunger, and she realized that she hadn't eaten anything at the party. She lifted her head, smiling nervously at Nanny Perla, who had heard the loud grumble."Wait here, I will get you food."She sat up, wondering where Jayden was. She recognized the room she was in, and it was Jayden's. She stared at the other side of the bed, and it was still looking smooth, like no one laid on it.She searched for her phone on the bed, and her eyes caught it laying on the table. She slid into her slippers, as she walked to the table to pick up the phone. Switching it on, she checked the time, and it was late. The time was 10:05. She thought of how long she had slept, and then, to what happened at the party.She needed to speak with Jayden, but he was nowhere to be found. She looked out of the window, the night seemed cold, and if Jayden

The silence that followed Carina's question made it look like she had asked the wrong question, or maybe, at the wrong time.Jayden looked at her, and averted his stare at her, looking at the night sky through the window, which had just a few stars, twinkling now and then.He hoped that his life would no longer be like the darkness, now that he had someone in his life, who was ready to stay committed to him.Although he trusted Carina, he could not still get over his stated presumptions about women. "You have nothing to worry about, okay? Leave Stephanie to me, I will handle her," he assured her, bringing back his focus on her.He creased his brows. Why was she crying? Did he say something to hurt her? Was she hurt anywhere?He jumped out of the bed, surprising Carina."Are you okay?" They spoke in unison, staring into each other's eyes."Are you okay?" Carina repeated, staring at him with widened eyes. He frowned. Was she not the one who looked hurt?"I'm fine," he said, "are you ok

The morning sun shone on her sleepy face, waking her up from her beauty sleep. She squinted her eyes, yawning audibly, as she stretched. Jayden was still in bed, sleeping peacefully like he had nothing to worry about. Was there even anything to worry about? She sat up, leaning on the bed headrest. Something dripped, she could feel it; like she was wet, dripping wet between her thighs.Did something happen between them last night? She tried to recall if they had any form of intimacy, or maybe she was just horny. She looked over at Jayden, who didn't look like he would be awake anytime soon. Taking off the blanket from her body, she hung her jaw down, as she stared at her worst nightmare.The fresh red blood stain on the white bedsheet made her feel like disappearing. If menstruation were a human being, she would have given it a hard slap.She was on her period, and it happened just when she decided to sleep over ahead at Jayden's place.She now understood why her abdomen was hurting

Nanny Perla stared at him in disbelief. Jayden hated to do anything related to cooking. Ever since he tried to make tea for his father when he was young, and messed it up, he got scolded, and he hated to go near the kitchen.All for a woman, he was back in one of the places he hated to be in and even doing the cooking himself. Was this just a paradigm of what people do for love?"Alright then, I will go take care of the laundry," she replied, leaving him in the kitchen.He didn't respond, as his full attention was on the eggs he was whisking. He was so swift with it, and in no time, he placed the pan on the fire, turning in the whisked eggs.As he prepared the tea, his mind drifted to when he tried making tea for his father. He felt a tinge of pain in his heart, as he wondered why his father never appreciated anything he did.Did he really hate him? Or, was it true that he was the reason his mother left them? Alex's distant voice shook him out of his thoughts, as he stood up to che

Carina was so engrossed in her whisperings to Fiona's ear, that she did not hear the footsteps coming from the stairs. Even when Jayden had stopped in his movements, on the stairs, none of them noticed it. He took that opportunity to stare at her; how she conversed with other people and acted around them. Even with the pain, her smile was still enchanting, lighting every darkness around her.He saw her spank Fiona's arm, and he couldn't help but chuckle. Was she always like this? He thought of her as a fierce, bold, and smart woman. Seeing the childish side of her made his heart flutter. He, for a moment, wished that she could be like this with him. He wanted her around him every time, never leaving his side.They were not in a relationship yet, so it would not be proper to ask her to live with him. He had not thought about asking her out yet, he didn't know how to.Thinking about it, he was not certain if he could do it now, or if it was too early for that. They were just getting
