Chapter Eighteen | Except The Unexpected

Holà, how are you doing today?

I'm sorry to announce you that school is begging in a few weeks and that I won't be able to update chapter that much. The book will be on hiatus or there will be a chapter every month or two depending on my schedule.

Sorry guys... 😕

Kenny Jackson - Wednesday, February 5th

The first few minutes in the car were ok, he asked how I was doing, how was work and if Frida was good. Then, it was weird. Silenced. 

He was focused on the road and I didn't know what to do. I looked outside trying to figure out where he was taking us, simultaneously, glancing at the demo god sitting right next to me.

When he caught me staring at him quite a few times, he smiled at me and turned his gaze back to the road. The fact that he was the one driving was weird, in a way. I know his kind, the millionaire type of man that is usually very busy, is not always rude but priorities work, they tend to have a personal opinion for those kinds of outputs. 

Anyway, I can't lie to you. I was nervous, shocking even myself. I'm not the stressing type, somehow he made me feel that way but not in a bad sense. More like, I want to make a good impression in front of him. Even though he saw me in a... How can I say it, I was really drunk and so was he. I was attracted to him and that's it.

It's been almost thirty minutes , the music makes the awkward silence go away. I'm wondering if he wants to kidnap me, kill me and hide me somewhere. He didn't even leave a hint of where we were going. 

"How have you been since Paris?" He finally asks, after being silent for literally an hour. 

"Honestly, not good.  I'm exhausted since I came back, I have tons and tons of work plus my nausea, my life is a mess. I haven't taken a break from work since we came back, so I thought it was a good idea to go out with you but now, I don't really know. You've been quiet, so was I. I have no clue where we are going and I'm starting to think you want to kill me. "I say in a direct tone, I was tired and I was kind of angry. 

" Ah, I'm sorry. I didn't know what to talk about aside from work. Shouldn't you go see a doctor? "He seems concerned. He turns his head to look at me. 

" No, it's not that serious. I'm just tired, I'll take a break from work and everything will be fine."

"Also, I wanted to surprise you. Which is why I don't plan to tell you our destination but don't worry we are going to be there in at least ten minutes from now. Why would I want one kill?" He laughs, I laugh too. 

"I don't know, man. I was getting scared." I smile, scratching my head. 

"Alright,don't worry you will love it. Where we are going, I know a good cabinet there, how about we check you out on the way." He proposed to me, I nod and he smiles, "Good."

The beach starts to show slowly as we get closer to our destination, the waves hit the coast and the fresh air invades my lungs. 

"A nice surprise, indeed. You know how to please people!" I lower my window to take a good look of the beach. 

"Well, you told me that you would love to go to the beach someday, that you missed your beaches at home. You told me a lot of things about your childhood and family. You don't remember?" I look at him confused.  

"No? We-we talked?" I blink, surprised . I thought that we only fucked, I mean. When I have my one night stand I usually don't talk about myself and never see them again but, talking with them is weird, was I that drunk? 

"Yes, we shared a lot that night. It's okay if you don't remember, we have the entire day to spend together." He puts his hand on my thigh, he rushes of heat and electricity goes into my body. I jolted against his hands. 

"Are you okay? Sorry, I should have asked you before doing that." He takes his hand away. 

"Yeah, you should." I whisper.

A few minutes later, we stopped at a small cabinet. 

"Do you want me to accompany you or...?" He asks. 

"Yeah, come with me, you know them." He enters the cabinet and he goes to talk with the receptionist. I sit down, he comes back and sits down next to me. 

"It will take a few minutes, the doctor doesn't have any patients" He explains and I nod.

Christian Alidini - Wednesday, February 5th

"Hey, how are you Christian?" Frederic shakes my hand, he is a dear friend of mine. I trust him, he worked with my husband in the past. Mr. Jackson sat in front of his desk. 

"I'm good but my friend here is not, you have to check." I tell him in Spanish, he knows what I mean. I sat next to Mr. Jackson. 

"Good morning mister Jackson, can you tell me more about your symptoms." He takes out a paper and a pen, scribbles some words down. 

"Well, I've felt fatigued for the past three weeks now, this week I started having nausea. I also have a headache, and my back hurts. My..."He looks at me before turning back to look at Frederic,"My nipples are really sensitive and swollen." I swallow at the mention of that, Frederic looks up from his paper to look at then looks back on his paper. 

"Alright, Christian what have you done to this poor man?  You have to get out now, I will check his body and do an echography to avoid worrying about nothing." I get up from my seat, reassure Mr. Jackson and leave the room.

Kenny Jackson - Tuesday, February 5th

It was weird hearing him talk in spanish, don't call me cliché for finding it sexy. Anyway, the doctor asked me to remove my shirt, I obliged. 

he examines me, listens to my heart beat...

After that, he takes out The ecograph, pours some fell on my belly and moves the machine around it. I focus on his expressions, he looks very serious, like he is searching for something. Then he seems to find it and his face is livid.
