Chapter Fifteen
Jane heard someone calling her name, the more she tried to get away from the voice the closer it came.
She panicked, has he finally caught up with her? There is no way she is going to allow him win this time she was definitely going to fight him, so when she felt his hand on her shoulder she slapped him hard on the face.
"Ahhh... Jane?"
That was when she realized she was dreaming and had just slapped Jeffery and not the monster in her dream. She quickly stood up from her bed and turned on the bedside lamp, she went to stand by his side. He was holding his left cheek.
"Oh my God, Jeffery I'm sorry I'm didn't mean to slap you I just thought.."
"I was the person in your dreams?"
"Yes, I'm sorry are you hurt?"
"Just a little, it's fine. That was some nightmare you were having"
"Yeah I'm sorry"
She couldn't get herself to look at him in the face. She thought she was over those nightmares it's been a while she had them last. She is sure Jeffery would be regretting why he asked her to spend the night.
"You don't have to feel ashamed for having nightmares, everyone has and is still having their share of nightmares"
Jeffery noticed she was avoiding his eyes, she was crying, what could it be she dreamt about? He put his arms around her and she flinched.
"Hey, it's fine I won't hurt you, come here"
He led her to sit on the bed, whatever she dreamt about must have been really scary because she was shaking. He held her closer, she placed her head on his chest as she cried.
He robbed her back while he whispered some soothing words in her ears. He waited till she had calmed down and wasn't shaking anymore then lifted her chin so he could see her face.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
She said nothing only shook her head and placed her head back on his chest, this time she wrapped her hands around him.
Jeffery could sense she was really scared. So he said nothing, just held her. They remained in that position for the next twenty minutes. When he felt her body relax, he decided to put her to bed and tuck her in, he was about to turn off the bed lamp when she called out his name.
"Jeff?"
"Yes baby?"
"Could you please stay with me? I really don't want to be alone"
"Sure"
He turned off the light and climbed into bed with her, she shifted to make space for him, he laid down and drew her closer to him, she placed her head on his chest. He felt her body relax as he held her.
What could it be that she was scared of, why was she crying? Jeffery made up his mind to protect her from whatever it is.
Jane woke up feeling something hard pressing against her abdomen, she opened her eyes to see she was cuddled up against Jeffery, her head was against his chest, her left leg was thrown over his legs.
Jeffery was now lying on his side, he had his right hand wrapped around her waist like he was trying to keep her in place so she doesn't leave.
Jane tried to free herself but he held on even tighter making her more aware of his morning erection. She felt the urge to place her hands on it but she decided against it, she chose to stare at his beautiful face instead, there were finger marks on his left cheek, those were caused by her slap last night. She raised her hands to touch them. His lips looked perfectly shaped, his beards which became overgrown when he was in coma now looked perfectly trimmed.
He stirred and his erection pressed harder against her. Jane looked down at it again trying to figure out the size, should she touch it to find out? That won't be a good idea he could wake up.
"You know you can actually touch it, it doesn't bite except you want it to"
Jane raised her head to see Jeffery smiling at her with those sexy sleepy eyes of his, she thought he was asleep, obviously he wasn't because he has figured out what she was thinking.
She was completely washed with Shame. She quickly stood up and ran into the bathroom.
How does she always end up embarrassing herself in front of this guy. She hasn't recovered from the embarrassment of slapping him now he caught her staring at his dick. She is definitely going to stay long in this bathroom until she feels she can face him.
Jeffery knocked softly on the bathroom door.
"Jane are you okay?"
"Yes I'm fine"
"You have been there for a while now"
"I'm okay I just need some time alone"
"In the bathroom?"
There was no response.
"Come on babe, you don't have to feel ashamed"
"I'm not ashamed"
"Then come out of the bathroom"
Still no response.
Few minutes later, Jane heard the bedroom door close so she knew Jeffery must have given up and left. She was thirsty and really needed to drink water but she decided to bear it.
Finally when she couldn't bear it any longer she came out, tiptoeing like a child who just commited a crime and was trying to escape punishment.
She went into the kitchen and took out a bottle of water from the refrigerator and poured it into a glass. She had her back turned to the kitchen door, so she didn't see Jeffery come in.
He stood by the door looking at her, she looked incredibly sexy wearing nothing but his white polo which only covered her butt and a small part of her thighs. He watched as her ass swayed when she moved to rinse the glass she was holding in the sink. He walked over to her and wrapped his hands around her waist.
She felt a hot breath on her neck followed by the brush of his lips. she tilted her head to the left giving him more room, he caressed her neck gently, a soft moan escaped her lips, this drove him crazy, he deepened the kiss.
He turned her around to face him and then cupped her face in his hands. He looked into her eyes searching for any hint of her wanting him to stop, but there was none instead she pulled him down and placed her lips on his.
He didn't need any other hint, he claimed her soft and smooth lips.
Her hands worked it's way around his body feeling his perfect physique underneath the shirt he wore.
They pulled apart, staring into each other's eyes. He carried her to sit on the kitchen island. He leaned in and placed his forehead against hers.
"My God Jane you don't know what you do to me"
"I'm sorry"
"What?"
He raised his head to look at her, why on earth would she be apologising?
"Baby you don't have to apologise I like what you do to me"
She said nothing just licked her lips and played with the edge of the polo she wore. If only she knew what her actions were doing to him now.
"Jane?"
"Yes?"
"Look at me please"
He used his finger to raise her chin so she was looking at him.
"I want this, I want us "
"Meaning?"
Sometimes this girl just drives him crazy with the type of questions she asks of course it means he wants to date her.
"Would you be my girlfriend?"
She quickly jumped off the kitchen island and placed some distance between them.
"I'm sorry I can't do this"
"What do you mean by you can't do this?"
"I can't date you"
"Why not?"
"Because I have secrets"
"Don't we all?"
"No I have dark secrets, so dark that when you hear them you would not even want me anywhere close to you talk more of wanting to date me"
Jeffery leaned against the island and folded his hands.
"Try me".
