Jake nodded, if that's what the kiss meant to her then it's fine, he wasn't ready to admit any feelings for as her well as he wasn't sure himself, it hurt him that she was just saying the kiss was a kiss and nothing attached to it. "If you say so, then no problem".The announcement boomed loudly that the plane was about to land, they knew the entire procedures before the orders reeked out completely, they each fastened their seat belt and relaxed for the plane to touch the ground. The tires of the plane unfolded from the belly underneath it and touched the tarmac, it was a smooth run till the plane finally came to a stop.Jake was not okay with the silence," we've finally touched ground, are we seperating now or you need help getting to your destination".Sarah stood up ready to leave the plane and him, she doesn't have the strength for more if his uncanny questions,"I'll be fine, I can make my way there, it's not my first time here"."Are you sure?, maybe we can catch up after you a
The chauffeur kept on driving, even though he felt the tension in the car, but it was not in his place to ask questions, so he focused on the road, at the back seats of the car, Jake and Sarah sat, each wary of the other person's presence, the argument they had before entering the car lulled the depths of their minds. Jake didn't want to get too involved in any woman's personal affairs, except his twin sister Cassandra whom he has to know and give approval of. But for a friend who works closely with him, that bit of Information was a hell lot of important to him. He wouldn't chide or judge her, so what was the use? She was a grown ass woman for crying out loud. It was just too much for him all at once. The chaffuer received a call and spoke inaudibly into the phone, they didn't bother to ask him what was wrong as they were lost in their world, Jake tried to talk to her,but her face stayed glued to the window, she was huddled together as if scared, the last time he saw her like this w
"That's my sister Tonia", she said in a clip tone, not adding anything extra, he wanted to ask the questions one at a time then she'd give him his answers one at a time.Jake was confused," sister?, I don't understand", how can she have a sister, who is still alive and also in school here in another state, it was not getting clear at all."Aren't you going to answer the next question, you are just staring at me".Sarah gave him a pointed look, "I don't see how that was a question, you only said sister?, What kind of response were you expecting?, If that'd be all you have to ask me I'll be taking my leave now"."No no, not so fast, what do you mean taking your leave?, You know exactly what I'm asking"."I don't know what you are asking, please be clear on what you are asking, I don't have all day to stand".Jake knew asking her the remaining questions would be painful but he had to finish what he had started already, "my question exactly is, how you still got a sister?, I'm very surpri
As much as he loved his ex-wife Madison, Jake had never trailed her for anything, he was devastated when when he got the divorce letter from her and even more wrecked with the issues pertaining Jackson. The reason why he was doing all these with Sarah was very clear, his heart was openings up to her and he was scared of getting it ripped out into shreds.The trust he has for Sarah was as a colleague and a friend, he could put his business in her hands without any fear, but this feeling of love was too great to just give to anyone,but Sarah is not just anyone to him. His thoughts paused, did he just think that want he was feeling towards Sarah was love?, Not in a million years would he think that possible, not after what he went through with Madison, the way he was despised and disrespected, never seen as somey who could attain any good.No, he would not allow himself to go through so much turmoil again, not when it took the whole of his being for him to remain same, it was a rough jou
The silence on the phone disturbed Jake, they agreed to give each other time apart, not to be mute when talking to each other, the silence got to him and he did not like it, was she even still on the call and she just decided not respond?, or has something happened where she was?,the latter question scared him more,so he quickly added, "Sarah are you there did you hear me?"."Yes I did, I heard you loud and clear".He wanted to ask why she didn't respond at first but that would lead to an argument and he wasn't down for it, "did you travel back or you are still around?"."Yes I am still around, I changed my mind so I will be returning tomorrow",her reply was curt and taut."Where are you at right now, I just want to know as I would be leaving tomorrow, my stay was extended, I didn't know checking the site would take longer than expected"."Good for you, if you hadn't spent the greater part of your day meddling in a business that does not concern you, maybe you'd have achieved what you
The silence that that eroded the entire place matched the almost pitch black night save for the millions of stars that illuminated the night sky, giving it's shiny brilliant to the world,only the sound of Jake breathing very hard could be heard around, he stood over the corpse of the huge guy, with the stained metal in his hand dripping blood, he didn't even realize the person was dead. Jake stood o er the body panting and heaving heavily, waiting for the guy to make alhis next move, but he was motionless on the ground. Jake used his leg to kick the body, it was heavy as a lead, he walked over to the face of the person and peered straight into it, not seeing clearly, his vision blocked by the continuous dripping of blood from his head, he tried to steady his breathing to be sure he wasn't just hearing his own but he needed time as it still came fast, after sometime his body calmed, and all the vibration shaking his whole body disappeared, this time he was sure the only breathing he c
Fred placed a hand to his chin like he was thinking, he had been waiting for this moment, to watch Jake McPherson grovel in pain and beg for mercy, it was going the wants it to, but not completely, Jake was not begging, he was too hardheaded and full of pride,"Thomas, tell me why you prefer to use the metal on this poor man?, why don't you use tbe gun, a shot a or two to the head will take him out of this world to a perfect resting place", he asked the man.The man, Thomas stared at Jake who was still holding his bleeding shoulder, he kicked Jake's hand and stepped on the wounded hand, making Jake shout, it felt like the hand was about to come off, the man did not remove his heavy foot from the shoulder,I stead he leaned all of his weight into the leg, "my brother's face was thoroughly disfigured by this man here, no one would be able to tell who he was and it makes me bitter".Fred could feel the exciting rage in Thomas's voice, he could just give him the permission to do with Jake a
Fred's unconscious body lay on the ground like a sack of meat, after all the torture he made them undergo, what he was receiving was mercy, they should have tortured him but Sarah wasn't down with it, she wasn't even down with killing Fred and it hurt him. He bent to drag Fred by the leading towards where he would dispose of the body. Sarah stopped him"Jake maybe you should have a rethink about this, we've got him captured already, I can have him locked up for attempted murder, there is no way he would get out of it, I promise you that"."You say that now because you don't know what I went through trying to save you". He pointed at his shoulder that had stopped bleeding, "Do you see this, this and many more I can't point out now, I was hit on the head with this heavy metal, I also died trying to save you and you tell me to let the man responsible for it to just be in prison, there's no way I will let that happen""It's obvious you are blinded by rage right now, I'm trying to stop you
