WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 21 – 30

EPISODE 30

The wedding day was fast approaching, and everything was being put in place so Jane and Jeffery could have a successful wedding.

Jeffery and his people had already gone to Enugu state, for their introduction, and payment of Jane’s dowry. Now the only thing that was left, was their wedding.

Jane and Jeffery have been inspecting houses that they are going to buy, and move into after their wedding. And finally, they settled for a four bedroom duplex in banana island.

After the kssing incedence with Lauretha, Jeffery has not been himself, his conscience has been eating at him. He knew he needed to tell Jane the truth, but then again, he knows how she tends to always blow things out of proportion, and if she caught wind of this, there is every tendency that she might call off the wedding. So he decided to keep it to himself, at least for now. Lauretha has been blackmailing him with pictures of them kssing, whoever the photographer was, he or she did a good job, for the person captured them in a position that really made it look like they were kssing. She has been threatening to show Jane the pictures, if he doesn’t call off the wedding.

Jane had noticed Jeffery hasn’t been himself lately, and she has been trying to find out what the issue was, but he keeps telling her nothing was wrong. After the pregnancy scare, he had insisted she visited the hospital and find out the reason for her period being delayed.

WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS 2 : EPISODE 21 – 30

After series of tests were conducted, it was discovered nothing was wrong with her, the doctor told her; the reason her period was delayed, could be attributed to stress, as she has stressing herself lately with the wedding preparations. She was placed on some multivitamins, and was asked to rest more. Few days later, her period came.

Jeffery had called her this morning, asking that she got ready, because he was taking her somewhere, which he refused disclosing to her when she had asked.

Jane was getting ready for him to come pick her up. Amaka had insisted she wore a particular Jean trouser, and body con top. Jane had refused to wear the top, because she felt the top would be revealing too much cleavage. As they kept arguing on what Jane was going to put on, Amaka brought out the clothes and everything Jane was going to need to get ready, locked the wardrobe, and took the keys with her when she left the house for her meeting. Leaving Jane with no other choice of what to put on.

Jane had just finished dressing up, when her phone rang.

“Hey baby” came Jeffery’s sexy, and husky voice, which usually made Jane weak in her knees.

“Hi, how are you doing?”

“I’m doing great, are you set?”

“All set, and ready”

“Great, because I’m at your door”

Jane ran to open her door, and found her knight in shiny armour, standing at her door, looking so handsome in a pair of black jean, and a pale blue shirt, with a pair of white sneakers. Jane thought his voice made her weak in the knees, but having him stand at her door, looking all charming and sxy as he.ll.

“Are you going to let me in?” Jeffery asked raising an eyebrow at Jane, after what seems like forever of her standing at the door, staring at him without moving out of the door, or asking him to come in.

“Oh sorry, come in” she moved aside as he walked in. She couldn’t stop staring at him, and as he walked past her, she caught a whiff of his cologne which she loved so much.

“Is something wrong?” Jeffery turned to look at her as she still held the door open, and wasn’t making any effort to close it.

The moment he opened his mouth again, she wished he hadn’t, because now she wanted to kiss those beautifully shaped lips of his.

“Baby are you okay?” He came back and closed the door, and stood in front her, holding her shoulders.

“Yes I’m okay, let me get my bag so we can leave” Jane said when she finally regained her composure.

She went and picked up her handbag from the bed, and when she turned, Jeffery was smiling.

“What’s funny?”

“You. Are you sure, you still want to keep this cookie jar closed?” He asked with a lazy smile on his face.

Jane stood staring at Jeffery, he was rubbing his chin, and licking his lips seductively as he looked at her. Jane knew she wanted nothing more than to have those lips on her skin. And the moment she tells him she wanted to have sx, he was going to oblige her. But then, that would make her weak, and she wasn’t about to let him have the upper hand in this case. She would rather tame her desires, and keep them locked away until the wedding night.

“I’m ready, let’s go please” she walked to the door, while Jeffery followed from behind laughing.

Jeffery drove them to an isolated beach house. It was a serviced house, which had everything one would need while they stayed there.

“So, I noticed that we have both been too busy planning the wedding, making sure everything goes smoothly, and have neglected ourselves in the process. I decided we have a quiet time to ourselves before the wedding”

“You know one of the things, I love about you?” Jane asked smiling.

“I think I do, but it wouldn’t hurt to hear you say it out” Jeffery sauntered to her as he spoke.

“I love the fact that you are so proactive in your thinking”

“Hmm, do you know?” He bent and kssed her, making Jane moan into his mouth and pulling him down for more.

“Remember we are keeping the cookie jar closed until after the wedding” Jeffery stepped back as Jane opened her mouth for more, looking disappointed.

“Your rules, not mine” he laughed as he took her hand and led her into the bedroom.

“The first time I came to this beach house, I had just graduated from the University, and recently got back into the country. I wanted to be alone for a while, and I needed some peace and serenity. So I rented this place for a whole week, and I was here all by myself. When I was leaving, I told myself I was going to come back and spend an alone time with my wife, when I found her. Since we would be getting married in a few days time, and I already paid your dowry, I decided there was no need for the wait”

“This place is beautiful” Jane said, as she looked around the room which was beautiful painted in white, and decorated with beautiful art pieces.

“I’m glad you think so, while I was here, I wrote a letter to my future wife, and I would like to read it out to you” Jeffery smiled.

“Let’s hear it then” Jane said gleefully.

They both sat down on the bed crossed leg, and Jeffery took out an envelope from his laptop bag.

“Dear future wifey,
As I sit here writing this letter, I wonder where you are, or what you are doing right now. Maybe you are busy with some other guy who is busy lying to you, and promising you heaven and earth, and will end up leaving you, just so we could meet. Well it’s fine, because you have to kiss a few frogs before you finally kiss a prince. And I have had my own share of heart breaks, and I might experience a few more, or even break some myself, before we finally meet.
Wifey, there are some things I would like you to know in this letter-
I may not be the most romantic man on the planet, but I promise to love you every single time we spend together, until our dying breath.
I promise to always look at you with the same admiration I did, when I first fell in love with you.

I promise to always challenge you to challenge yourself to go after your set dreams and goals.

I promise to be a role model to our children, and always inspire them to do better. I’m a Christian, and I know you are one as well, so we are going to bring them up in the way of the Lord.

Wifey, I really don’t know much about cooking, but I promise you would never go hungry for a single minute, as I would always make sure, you have someone to prepare your meals at all times. I love good food myself, so be rest assured that, we would always dine together. And when you feel like eating out, we would go to the fanciest restaurant in town.

You are going to be my world, so I would make sure to take you around the world. I would always surprise you with vacations and trips, so get ready to tour the world with me baby.

I promise to love and worshipp your body like a temple that it is, and even if after child birth, your body changes and is filled with stretch marks, and the likes, I’m still going to worship it, and make mad love to you, in everywhere and everyway possible.

There would never be a day you would second guess my love for you, because I will make sure to keep professing how much I love you, both in words, gifts, my services to you, and spending quality time with you.

I’m not much of a talker, but I promise to listen to your every gist, listen to you whenever you have something to say, be it a gist you heard at the office or anything at all, I’m going to be your gist buddy.

And even in the darkest moments, I promise to never leave you, but to always be by your side, holding your hands until the morning comes.

Nobody is perfect, so I promise to always go out of my way to accept your imperfections.

Sincerely,

your future husband.

“This is, so touching” Jane had tears in her eyes as she spoke after Jeffery, had finished reading the letter. “I love you Jeff, and there is nothing I want more, than to be your wife” tears rolled down Jane’s cheeks as she spoke.

“Oh baby, you don’t have to cry” Jeffery took out an handkerchief from his pocket, and used it in wiping her tears. “If you continue crying, then I’m going to think what I wrote in that letter contained onions” his statement made Jane smile.

“Oh, now you are smiling, probably the onion in it wasn’t so much then”

“I love you” Jane leaned in and brushed a kss on his lips, before she laid down, placing her head on his laps. Jeffery caressed her hair softly.

“Baby?” Jeffery said softly.

“Yes?”

“I have something, I have been thinking to tell you”

“What is it?”

“It’s about Lauretha”

“What about her?”

“She kssed me”

There was a deafening silence in the room, so much that if a pin had fallen, one would have heard the sound. Jeffery’s hands stilled on Jane’s hair, waiting for her next reaction. He bent to look at her face, so he could guage her reaction, but her face was void of expression, she was just staring at nothing in particular.

After a whole minute of silence had passed, Jane finally spoke; “how did it happen?” She asked calmly.

“It was on the night of the pregnancy scare, she had called me to say our son was sick, and needed to be taken to the hospital, so I quickly rushed down to her place, but I found out it was only a trick to get me there, and when I tried to leave, she threw herself at me and kssed me” Jeffery tried to omitt the part where Lauretha insisted he married her instead of Jane.

“What did she say she wanted?” Jane asked, her face still expressionless.

“She umm…., She wants me to marry her and not you”

Jane got up from the bed, went to the fridge in the room and took out a bottle of water. She had a long swig of the water, and then threw the empty can in the trash, then she leaned against the fridge, folding her arms.

“So from what you just said, Lauretha is still in love with you?”

“Yes, that is what she said”

“Do you love her?”

“Of course not, how can you ask me that? It’s you I want babe, not her, not anyone else”

“Is she blackmailing you with pictures or something of sort?”

“Yes, I think she had someone hid somewhere who snapped the pictures of her kssing me”

“If she wasn’t blackmailing you, would you have told me?”

Jeffery was quiet for a while, he didn’t know what to answer Jane, he wouldn’t have told her if Lauretha wasn’t blackmailing him, not because he would want to hide something like that from her, but because of fear of losing her.

“You wouldn’t have told me right?” Jane asked, with a hurtful voice.

“I’m sorry”

“But why would you keep something like this away from me? I thought we weren’t meant to keep secrets from each other?”

“My keeping it away from you, isn’t because I love keeping something from you, but it’s because of the fear of the fact that, if you are going to trust me enough to believe; if I was saying the truth, or not”

“I trust you Jeffery, I know sometimes I can act otherwise, by blowing things out of proportion, but I do trust you. If I didn’t trust you, I wouldn’t have agreed to marry you. If for any reason, you were doubting my trust for you, then you should have pointed it out”

“I’m sorry, I was just scared of losing you again” Jeffery looked so innocent as he spoke, Jane couldn’t resist the urge to go over and kss him.

“I love and trust you with my life. You should never doubt that”

“I love you too, and I’m sorry I tried hiding it away from you all these while”

“It’s okay, I’m glad you told me yourself, and I didn’t hear it from Lauretha, or someone else” Jane sat down on the bed.

“Thank you”

“I want you to message Lauretha, and tell her you have agreed to her demands”

“Are you joking or something?”

“Nope, I’m dead serious. Tell her you guys should have a date or something”

“What is your plan exactly?” Jeffery asked confused.

“You are going to text her, and tell her you have broken things off with me, and that you are leaving me so you can be with her, tell her you want to marry her”

“And then what?”

“You ask her to meet you at a restaurant this evening, ask her to come with the boy, so you all can have dinner together like a family, that you are going to become”

“What are you aiming to achieve with this?”

“You told me yourself, you had doubts if the boy was yours. And the reason she gave for not telling you about the boy all these while, doesn’t seem to add up, so we are going to find out if this boy is yours or not”

“And after that?”

“Leave the rest to me, I will put Lauretha in her place soon”

“Huh?” Jeffery had to look around the room just to make sure, it was Jane who actually made the last statement, and not someone else.
