Chapter 38

Ella and I had been back to New York for 2 months.

Ashley and Dave had been stealing me away every chance they got to make up for the months I'd been away.

I had wanted to call them when I was in Boston but I was worried about them too. I didn't want them getting hurt by mom's killer.

They understood but they made me promise that whatever weird shit they had in mind, I'd roll with it.

So here we were at an adult jungle gym. It had one of those ball pits that kids play in at the end that you drop into.

I had to admit it's fun!!

While I was away,Dave had found his guy,his name is Maxwell and the way he looks at Dave is the cutest thing ever. Ashely was still on the hunt for a man.

Finishing up at the jungle gym,I went back to the house. It was in the afternoon and I half expected John to be back by now but he was no where to be found.

Ella was in the living room watching TV. She motioned me to sit down with her so we spent the next three hours cuddled up watching movies on Netflix.

JOHN'S POV

I had left work early for an important errand.

Shopping.

I had one thing I needed to buy but it was the most important thing I would ever buy in my life.

Walking up to the counter,the sales guy cornered me.

"How can I help you today, Sir?" he asked with the biggest grin I've ever seen. He really wants that commission.

I informed him what I was looking for and he showed me some options. After two hours of trying to find it,I was beginning to lose hope.

But then I saw it.

It was perfect!

Leaving the shop with my purchase,I practically skipped to the car. When I got back I hid it in the safe behind the picture in our bedroom.

Going back downstairs to find them,I found Jasmine lying on the couch asleep. Checking Ella's room,she was asleep on her bed.

I picked Jasmine off the couch and she curled into me while I carried her to the room.

Laying her down and putting the covers over her,I just watched like a creep for awhile. Sliding in beside her,I held her close.

Soon my love,soon.
