Unexpected gift

"Hey baby" someone whispers in my ear. I open my eyes to see jack sitting on the edge of the bed next to me.

"Babe, something came up, I have to go" he says softly.

"Wait, what?" I moan

" Where are you going?" (A)

"I have something to take care of"(J) what does that even mean ? This is the second he does this, saying something came up, all secretive.

"I need to go baby, trust me I want nothing more but to lay in this bed with you and fuck you again" I turn red

"I really need to get going "(J) He leans over and kisses me passionately, his tongue exploring my mouth then gently bites my lip.

"I'll see you tomorrow okay?" I smile up at him and watch as he leaves the room followed by the sound of my front door closing.

Around 9pm I get a text from Jack.

- Hey Gorgeous, I'm sorry I had to leave. I promise I'll make it up to you. I can't stop thinking about you. I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight baby- (J)

I feel butterflies in my belly, I'm looking down my phone, smiling like an idiot. Is this real? I feel like I'm in a dream. I am kind of annoyed he left after our first time together. I couldn't help but feel like it didn't mean as much to him as it did to me.

- Not to worry I understand, I will be making a list of all the ways you can make it up to me ;) see you tomorrow. Goodnight Jack- (A)

I keep it short, there's so much more I would like to say to him. Like I wish he was here with me, holding me. How since he has left, he is all I can think about but I didn't. I need to remind myself that giving too much can gets you hurt.

It's Monday, my anxiety is through the roof. I've got some much going on. Tonight is the election party, everything needs to be perfect.

I make my way to work by bus, since my car is parked in the DEJ's parking lot, it's public transport for me today. I walk into office and the mayor calls me over.

"Anna! yes just the right person for the task" The mayor says with a big smile of his face

" Morning Mayor Preston" (A)

"Good morning, listen I have someone I need you to accompany tonight. He is one of the investors in the campaign. His name is Tyler Hemmnigs I believe he is already on the guest list. He needs someone who will help him with anything he needs and show him around, oh and introduce him to everyone important" he explains

"Okay, I'm on it!"

" Great, He will be over around lunch time. Thank you very much" with that he retreats to his office.

I take a seat at my desk, I catch Jess looking my way while taking to Diana. I completely forgot about her, I pay her no mind. My heart drops when I see a tall, tanned and suited man walk through the door. Jack, he looks so sexy in a suit and sunglasses. All the other girls in the office quickly look his way, all eyes are on him. He takes his sunglasses off with a slight smile on his face. He walks to my desk holding two coffees. Placing one in front of me, he bends down and whispers

"Good morning baby".(J)

"Morning" (A) he leans in and gives me a hard kiss on the lips. My eyes drifts behind him, where everyone is gaping at us, my face blushing from embarrassment. I didn't realise he wanted everyone to know about us just yet. But he didn't seem to care about all the eyes watching us.

"Meet up for lunch?" (J)

"I'll have to let you know around the time, The mayor wants me to show one of the investors around"(A)

"Who?" (J)

"A Tyler, Tyler Hemmings" I say looking down at my notes. His expression hardens

"Okay, don't worry about that. I'll personally show him around" his voice serious all the sudden

"but the mayor?"(A)

"I'll speak to my uncle,leave it to me" he smiles at me and kisses my forehead.

"Catch you later baby " he walks away. I wonder why he didn't want me to give Tyler the tour? As I look around I find Jess, standing by her desk with an angry look on her face. I don't have time for this right now.

I see Becs and Jo coming my way, "Erm I can't believe that just happened" Jo says shocked

"Girl everyone was watching you two" (B)

"Does that mean you're official now " Jo says all excited

"I'm not sure we haven't spoke about that yet" I grin like a school girl

Around 1:30pm Tyler arrives at the office. He's dressed in a dark navy suit, he looks like he's in his early 30's, around 6"3, defined cheek bones, long pointy nose. His hair is long, reaching the nape of his neck. He walks over to the reception area. After a few moments Jack comes to meet him. They shake hands and retreat to Jack's office.

I see now why jack didn't want me to show Tyler around. I mean Tyler was good looking but nothing compare to the man I was head over heels for. 6pm I start packing my stuff. I need to go home, grab a shower and get dressed to go to the election party. I didn't see jack at that much today, He was busy with Tyler and the investors.

I walk to his office and knock on the door. "Come in" his voice serious and low. I find him sitting in front of his desk, Tyler on the other side.

"Tyler this is miss Huerta, Anna, Tyler" Jack introduces us. Tyler stands up and stretches his hand out in front of me, I take it and he shakes my hand firmly.

"Anna? I recall the mayor mentioned your name, weren't you suppose to show me around and be my date tonight?" he beams at me. My hand still in his.

"Yes, but we had a little change of plans but you are in good hands." I give him a polite smile. Looking behind him. I catch jack's face, he doesn't look happy at all his eyes are on our joined hands . I look up at Tyler whom is still holding my hand.

"I would like to have a word in private with Mr Preston if that's okay"

"By all means" he lets go of my hand. Jack gets up and walks over to me.

We leave the office and Jack closes the door behind him. His face still serious.

"I'm going home to grab a shower and get dressed, wanted to let you know just in case you can't find me"(A)

"Wait for me I'll come with you" his expression softens.

"Okay"

I wait outside the room after a few minutes he returns.

"Okay let's go" he places his hand on the small of my back sending chills down my spine.

We drive to my apartment in Jack's car.

"Okay I'm going to grab a quick shower" I say as I walk in. Jack pulls my arm so that we're face to face. He brushes my hair behind my ear.

"You look beautiful" he says smiling down at me.

"I've been dying to do this all day" he bends down and kisses my lips softly, then my nose, my cheeks and my forehead. My body instantly heating up.

He mouth is over mine again, bitting and sucking my lips. I moan in his mouth. He stops and exhales deeply

"We have to stop or we won't make it to the party at all" he sighs. Walking to the bedroom I shout out

" So Tyler seems nice?"

"Hmmm. I guess his alright" he says bluntly. Why the sudden mood change was he jealous ?

After a while I have showered, done my makeup and gotten dressed. I'm wearing a dark blue strappy dress with white pumps. My curly hair is up in a bun. My makeup is simple but very pretty. I can't deny that I look great. I walk out and Jack is on the phone his back turned away from me. I clear my throat and he turns around.

"I'll have to call you back" he says quickly and hangs up.

"Fuck, you look amazing Anna" (J)

"Thank you!" I'm proud of myself. For the first time in ages I feel beautiful and so confident. He walks over to me.

"I have something for you " he produces a small black box from his pocket. I stare at the box then take it. I really wasn't expecting anything from him. His eyes intently watching me to see my reaction.

I open the box to find a gold necklace. A clover and in one of the petals there's a J. I can't help but smile I couldn't even hide it.

"Thank you, I love it" this was so thoughtful and his initial on the leaf made me swoon.

"You're welcome baby. Let me put it on you"
