Jade was a victim of her father's actions, and I felt bad for ever thinking she was behind it all. The sound of rain drew my attention, and it was only then that I remembered that there was supposed to be really bad weather tonight.
"Oh shoot, I should get going," Jade said as she stood up.
"It's supposed to get worse than this," I replied. "I don't think it's safe to be out now."
"I left Robin-"
"He's with Tammie," I said. "And she better stay put and not risk going out in this rain."
As if on command, the sound of the rain became heavier. There was no way I was letting Jade out of my sight, and it wasn't up for negotiation.
"Call her and let her know," I said. "I'll take you back in the morning."
Jade hesitated for some seconds before taking out her phone. I left her to her phone call as I went to the other bedroom to get it ready for her. A part of me was protesting the decision, but it was the right thing to do. For the first time, I was thinking with my head and not my body when it came to Jade. I found her seated when I returned, and she looked nervous as hell.
"Relax, I don't bite."
I expected a laugh or smile, but whatever was brewing inside her was far too heavy for a joke.
"Your room is ready for you if you would rather go to bed now. Or can I get you something to eat first?"
She visibly relaxed at the mention of the other room, and I felt a twinge of disappointment.
"No, thank you. I'm pretty beat, so I'll go on and sleep."
I nodded. "I'd offer you some pajamas, but I see you brought your own to the slumber party."
She looked down at her pajama bottoms and chuckled. "You can't accuse me of not being prepared."
"No, ma'am," I replied with a smile. "I couldn't have helped anyway. I sleep naked."
She blushed but burst into laughter. Seeing Jade smiling was always a sight to behold, but hearing her laugh was even better. I regretted every step I took to the second bedroom, and as we said goodnight, I regretted not sealing it with a kiss.
I got into my bed and felt too on edge to work, so I tried to get some sleep instead. It was hard to do that when my body was humming with excitement at having Jade so close, but I finally managed to dose off. Jade plagued my dreams, and when I finally woke up a couple of hours later, it was with a raging hard-on.
I groanedas I got out of bed, knowing that I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep easily. I went to the mini kitchen and took out a bowl and some cereal. My father used to do it when I was younger, and the habit has stuck with me ever since. It had become our thing whenever I had a nightmare or couldn't sleep. He would make cereal, and we'd talk about the future. I didn't know then that he wouldn't be part of my future, but somehow this little tradition of ours made him live on.
"Couldn't sleep?"
Jade's voice startled me,and I turned around to find her looking all kinds of adorable as she looked at me. Her hair was all over the place, and I wanted nothing more than to run my hand through it.
I raised my bowl. "Want some?"
She noddedand came to take a seat on the stool opposite me. I quickly made her a bowl, and she laughed when I set it in front of her.
"You're kidding."
I sat downand raised a brow, waiting for her to share the joke.
"Robin won't eatanything else except this," she said with a large smile.
I would never gettired of seeing that smile, I realized. Jade was a beautiful woman, but it was like a whole new dimension of beauty when she smiled.
"Well yeah,they make the milk –"
"Turn chocolate,"she finished the sentence with me, making me chuckle.
"He's got good taste,"I said smugly.
