WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS : EPISODE 31 – 40
EPISODE 36
It’s been four days since Jane and Jeffery moved to his penthouse, so far everything has been going well, the blogs are beginning to forget about their relationship and weren’t talking about them much. But Jeffery still insisted she remained there until everything died down.
“If I didn’t know better I would think you are trying to seduce me” Jeffery said referring to Jane who was sitting on his laps and was doing everything to distract him from watching the news. It was either she was bending over to pick something off the floor or she was cleaning something off the already clean center table. It was either she didn’t know how much effect she had on him or she was doing it on purpose.
”Well…. let’s just say, I’m trying to put your money to good use”
”I don’t understand” Jeffery said with a confused look.
”You paid your personal shopper for the whole day to shop for me remember? And this lingerie happens to be one of the things I picked out from what she brought”
”she wasn’t supposed to tell you I paid her to serve you for the whole day, are you mad at me?”
”No, why would I be mad at you?”
”Well you know how you can be with this whole me spending money on you thing, besides buying you clothes is the only thing you have allowed me to do for you so far, and I don’t want to blow it up”
”I’m not anti luxury Jeff, I just don’t want you overdoing it”
”I will put that in mind” He said kssing her on her forehead.
”I did notice something though” Jane said looking thoughtful
”What did you notice?”
”It’s about Vanessa”
”The personal shopper? What did you notice about her?”
”She seems to know the type of Lingerie you like”
”Oh, really?” Jeffery replied with an evasive look, suddenly trying to look interested in what was being said on the news.
”Yeah she did, and with what I noticed; the information slipped, for she tried to correct herself afterward. Is there something you are not telling me?”
The room became silent as Jeffery use a remote to mute the television so he could give her his full attention.
”We sort of had a ….”
”you sort of had a what, Jeff?”
”see babe, the thing is…we had a fling in the past”
”My thought exactly I kn..”
”It was a long time ago” Jeffery quickly cut in as Jane slowly got of his laps and sat on the couch.
”How long ago?”
”Three years ago” he answered like a child who has been caught telling lies by his mother.
”It’s okay, I need to get some rest goodnight” with that said Jane stood up to go upstairs to her room.
”babe please, don’t leave. let’s talk about this I know you are pissed at me”
”It’s fine Jeffery”
”see? that right there shows you are angry, you only call me by my full name when something is wrong”
”I don’t want to do this Jeff, please”
”babe I know you are pissed and I….”
”oh so now you know I’m pissed? When you were busy sending your mistress to come shop for me it didn’t occur to you that I will be angry? Or you thought I wasn’t going to find out? What do you take me for Jeff, a fool?”
”she is not my mistress Jane and you know it, babe I’m so…”
”oh really do I now? who sends their ex to come help their girlfriend shop? Why would you even make her your personal shopper if both of you still don’t have something going on?”
”what do you mean by that? Have I ever given you a reason to doubt my love for you? Besides she is just one of my personal shoppers and I barely use her to shop for me”
”I don’t have time for this Jeff, I’m off to bed’
”don’t walk out on me! Please?”
Jane came to a halt.
”please babe let’s not go to bed angry, let’s talk this through. I know you are angry and I understand but please just hear me out”
Jane came back and sat on the couch and Jeffery joined her.
”like you already know, a lot has been happening lately not just with us but also with my company” Jeffery paused to knead his temple like he always does whenever he is stressed.
”Jeff what is happening to your company?” Jane asked with concern.
”nothing much, I made some bad investment decisions that I have been trying to make up for and that has been wearing me out”
”oh Jeff I’m sorry I never knew about it, is that why you have been working late nights recently?”
”yeah but it’s fine, see babe what I’m trying to say is that; I got really busy and I had my secretary call one of my personal shoppers to shop for you and when she told me Vanessa was the first person she could reach I just told her to go ahead without thinking and I’m sorry”
”it’s fine and I’m sorry too for the way I reacted”
”it’s totally understandable and I’m going to stop using her as my personal shopper, okay?”
”well…. you don’t have to”
”come on Jane, I know you want me to and besides I barely use her for my shopping these days, I only hired her once when she started out as a personal shopper and needed to build up her clientele and she reached out to me. With all my referral and all the clients I have pushed her way she won’t feel my absence. And there is nothing going on between us, it was a one time thing and ever since then we have been nothing but just friends”
”thank you for explaining things to me and I’m sorry for assuming something was still going on between you two”
”It’s fine, I’m glad you voiced out your fears, and I like the fact that you are jealous. I know it sounds crazy but the thought of you being protective of me? sort of appeals to me” he said smiling.
”you are right, it’s crazy, I don’t see how jealousy appeals to anyone”
”It’s a manly thing, you won’t understand”
”I surely don’t understand”
They both kept quiet each with their own thought, Jane was thinking if she should just bring up the issue of him having a fiancée now and have him tell her the truth. But what if the truth was that he actually had a fiancée? was she ready to handle it? she finally decided it was best to just leave things be.
Jeffery held her hands ”Babe?”
”yes?”
”why won’t you let me buy you things?”
”of course I let you buy me things, you bought me clothes today remember?”
”no aside clothes you don’t allow me buy you anything else, besides you only take them because you needed them at that point if not I am very sure you would have rejected them”
”well…. it’s not always like that” Jane said looking down.
”yes it is, remember that time I bought you a new phone and had it delivered to you? you had it sent back to me and that really did hurt”
”I’m sorry Jeff, I didn’t know I hurt your feelings; besides I don’t accept most of the things you buy for me because that’s not the reason I’m with you”
”I know that babe, but you also need to know that you are my girlfriend and as such I would love to buy you things most especially expensive things so please stop trying to fight it and accept them.
”okay I will try”
”I love you Jane”
”I love you too Jeff”
”does that mean I’m forgiven for sending Vanessa over?”
”You are forgiven Jeff”
”can I get a kss then?”
She leaned forward and kissed him on his cheek, just then he grabbed on her waist causing her to fall on him. Jane let out a soft gasp which was silenced with Jeffery’s lips on hers.
It was a slow one and before she knew it, her hands were caressing his neck.
”Don’t go about putting on such sxy lingerie if you are not planning on having sx” he said with a raspy voice.
”But it’s just a lingerie” Jane said pouting
”oh God babe you are killing me” Jeffery groaned as he bent and claimed her mouth, this time it was a bit rough, both kssing each other like they couldn’t get enough of themselves. Jeffery knew he had to stop now before it got out of hand. He broke the kss and stood up.
”Next time when you go about wearing something as sexy as this, I won’t be held accountable for what happens. Goodnight”
With that said he went upstairs without a backward glance, leaving a needy Jane on the couch.

*The next day*
“What do you think you are doing?”
Jane turned to see Jeffery standing at the door arms crossed, staring at her. When she gave herself a tour of the house earlier, she had seen a gym in one of the rooms and was hoping to use it. So she had snuck out of bed early enough before he woke up. But it seems she picked a wrong time to do so because not only did Jeffrey find her there but was also dressed to use the gym himself. It was a weekend after all.
How does he get to look so sxy in everything he puts on? It’s as if he doesn’t even need to try, sexiness just comes to him, it’s basically clung to his skin.
She was pulled out of her thoughts when Jeffery cleared his throat obviously waiting for an answer to his question.
“I uhm…. was…. What does it look like I’m doing?” She replied defiantly crossing her arms, staring back at him. If he thinks he was going to intimidate her with that look of his then he has another thing coming. Or maybe he does intimidate her a little but she wasn’t about to let him know that.
“I don’t know, you tell me because it clearly looks like you are trying to have your waist broken”
“What? No I’m not; I’m only trying to keep fit” she responded trying to defend herself.
“Oh really, you think so? by trying to lift a weight bent like that? you are only going to end up having your waist broken. That’s not the proper way to lift a weight”
“Uhmmm….I” this time she really did feel stupid and intimidated under his stare, in her defense; she knew nothing about exercise especially weight lifting and she didn’t want to ask him out of fear of him not wanting to teach how it’s done so she decided to find out herself.
“Well the thing is I just wanted to do some active exercise, you know?”
“Well I don’t know, so please enlighten me”
“Fine, I didn’t know what I was doing, I guess not having anything to do has made me going about looking for ways to get busy” she said finally accepting defeat “at least now that you are here you could teach me”
Jeffery leaned off the door and walked into the room and sat on of the exercise bench, Jane followed his every move and watched as he wore protective gloves on each of his palm and then turned to give her his full attention.
“What is it you would like to learn?”
“Emmm.. anything”
“Anything is nothing, you have to be specific”
“Well you know, I..” why was she stuttering? Jane concentrate, we know he is hot and all but you have to pull yourself together stop acting clueless.
“I’m waiting, what would you like to learn?”
“I want to keep fit, can you show me how?” She said thrusting out her chin.
“Hmmm” Jeffery said with a smile on his lips, he looked at her slightly thick frame as she was looking all innocent and not knowing what she was doing to him with what she wore, who comes to exercise looking so damn sexy, every other female can put on sports bra and tights to the gym and he wouldn’t even bother. But not Jane, for a second he envied the tights she wore for they clung closer to her than he had ever got. And why is the top showing off her stomach? How was he supposed to concentrate on his workout or achieving any workout at all with her looking like that?
“I didn’t know you went shopping for gym clothes?” He said trying to take his eyes of her chest which looked like they were begging to be held.
“Well let’s just say your personal shopper, went all the way out in getting every clothing item she felt I would be needing”
“She is not my personal shopper, and maybe you should have told her to get you something more conservative”
“Conservative? What’s wrong with this? Aren’t these what people use in exercising?” Jane asked looking confused.
“Well for starters you cou..” Jeffery paused mid sentence suddenly realizing he was taking out his frustration on her, at first when he agreed to a no sx relationship he thought it was going to be easy but what he didn’t know was that, it was easier when your partner wasn’t living under the same roof as you and definitely not with them coming to the gym looking too hot to handle.
“I’m sorry” he said closing his eyes.
“No it’s fine, I will go change into something else if this isn’t good enough” she replied turning to leave the room.
“No please don’t change them, they are perfect you can keep them on” he gesticulated to her clothes as he stood up to set up the treadmill. “You would have to warm up first”
“Huh?” She said feeling confused.
“The exercise, you would have to warm first before we go into other exercises so get on the treadmill”
Jane noticed he was avoiding any form of eye contact with her, she couldn’t understand why he was acting strange, first he asks her to change her clothes now he is avoiding eye contact with her, she has as much as had enough already.
“You know you don’t have to help me if you don’t want to, you know what? Don’t worry I will just go and leave you to do your thing”
“No no, don’t leave”
“But you don’t seem interested in teaching me” she said with a hint of hurt in her voice.
“I am, it’s just that.. you know what forget it just get on the treadmill so we can get started”
“No tell me what is it, do I repulse you?”
“No babe you don’t, as a matter of fact you are so damn attractive”
“Then why did you ask me to go change?”
“Because..; babe if we are to stick to this no sx rule in our relationship, you have to stop trying to drive me crazy with your sxy dresses anytime we are together, I’m a man who has bIood running through his veins you know?”
“Wow.. I’m sorry I didn’t know I had so much effect on you”
“You have no idea”
”we keep having friction all the time Jeff”
”Babe this is not a friction, we are just getting to know each other better and now you know your body does things to me” he said smiling.
“Awwwwwn.. sorry, from now on I will start putting on buba and wrapper”
“Meaning what now? Please don’t even try it. Get on the treadmill already”
Jane obliged him, laughing at his reaction of her putting on buba and wrapper. He started the treadmill at a slow pace and increased the pace later. He stood there and monitored the rate and timing of the treadmill.
WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS : EPISODE 31 – 40
After five minutes Jane was panting like she was running a sprint, Jeffery turned off the treadmill and offered her a bottle of water as she got down. She expected him to laugh or tease her for being lazy and not being able to last up to ten minutes on a treadmill but he didn’t. Instead he complimented her for lasting that long and that if she continues exercising, with time she will start lasting longer.
“I didn’t know you were a fitness junky” she said as he helped to hold her legs so she could do some sit ups.
“How did you think I managed to have such chiseled muscles like you like to call them?” He asked laughing.
“Well I knew you exercised but what I didn’t know was that you have a gym in every apartment you owned?”
“Well not every single one of them”
“Really, not even a single exercise equipment in any of them?”
“Well, there’s a bike or two in each of them”
After ten sit-ups Jane’s core was on fire and decided to stop, she didn’t have a big or protruding stomach but she knew her stomach can be flatter if she worked on them but then again she is not going to achieve all the results in one day.
“What prompted you to want to exercise?” Jeffery asked as he helped her get into a plank position because she couldn’t seem to be able to balance on her own.
Jane couldn’t answer his question as she tried to concentrate on balancing on her forearms and feet, her spine seemed to burn and when she thought of giving up and lie on het stomach, Jeffery roared.
“Don’t even think about it, still maintain that position”
“How long am I going to be in this position anyway?”
“30secs” was his cute response.
“What? I have been here close to 2mins”
“No only 20secs” he responded checking his timer.
Finally Jane got up and she started to think if asking Jeffery to coach her on how to exercise was actually a good idea, probably she could just back out now and tell him she didn’t want to keep fit anymore.
“You know when you first start out doing something new, 90% of the time, you are going to hate it or find it quite hard and discomforting and then you see yourself rethinking your decision. That’s why you see most people start out on something new and then quit few days or weeks later. That’s where your WHY comes to play, why did you start out on that journey in the first place? If your WHY is bigger than your fears then you stick to your decision and then continue. So Jane what’s your WHY?”
She wasn’t so sure he was talking about her reason to start exercising or something else so she answered him.
“Because I want to become fit”
“And do you think that reason is enough to go through the pains of exercise?”
“Yes”
“Fine then, for with pain sometimes comes pleasure. Let’s finish up with some stretch exercises”
“Oh oh I know one, I usually do it when I have backache from sitting too long after work”
“Really? Show me” he said surprised.
Jane bent down, stretching out her hands in front of her and raising her back in the air, her legs were folded beneath her.
Jeffery was standing behind her so he had a full view of her back in the air, making him think of several things he could do to her in that position, thankfully Jane stood up before he lost his sense of reasoning and did something they would have regretted.
“What do you think?” She asked in innocence
“I’m getting you a fitness coach” he said storming out of the room.
