WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS : EPISODE 41 – 50
EPISODE 44
When they arrived, the driver opened the door for Jane and she got down. The garden was quiet, she could see a table with lights around it, so she walked towards it. When she got there, the only person who mattered to her was standing beside the table smiling.
“Jeff!”
Jane ran to where Jeffrey was standing and hugged him, he held her tight. “Jeff I’m so happy you’re here, I missed you so much, I’m so sorry I didn’t listen”
“Shhhh….” Jeffery held her and they remained in that position for a while until Jeffery pulled back to look at her. “You are so beautiful” he bent and kissed her.
Jane looked at him with a dreamy eye, how she was able to survive this past weeks without him in her life is a mystery, because the love she feels for this man makes it hard to breathe.
He led her to the table and pulled out a chair for her, and after she sat down, he pulled out a chair for himself opposite her. A waiter came to introduce the menu and later came back to serve them the meal.
When they were finally alone, Jane said, “Jeff I am sorry, I shouldn’t have ran from our relationship the way I did, I was scared you were going to tell me you were really engaged, so I did the only thing I knew how to do, I ran and that was a stupid thing to do, I’m truly sorry”
“And I’m also sorry I didn’t tell you about my past engagement to Tania, all these would have been avoided if I had mentioned it, I’m really sorry babe”
“I should be the one apologizing, I didn’t give you the chance to explain”
“We are both at fault babe, come here” Jane got up and sat on Jeffery’s laps. He placed his forehead on hers. “I’m sorry for the pain I caused you this past few weeks” he kissed the tip of her nose.
“I’m sorry too, do you know I almost went crazy looking for you yesterday?” Jane toyed with his collar.
“Your body guard told me, I’m sorry you had to go through all that. I was deeply hurt when you refused talking to me, I guess I just wanted you to feel a bit of what I felt and that was stupid of me because when you are hurt, I’m hurt too, it really broke my heart when Black told me what you had to go through looking for me yesterday, I’m sorry baby can you forgive me?”
“Of course, and I’m sorry too for causing you pain. From now on, I promise to not run from the issues in our relationship”
“There is something I think you should know”
“What is it?”
“So after you left, I decided to speak with Tania and when I confronted her, she opened up to me about who it was that told her to go the media”
“Really, who was it?” Jane asked with an interested look.
“You might not like this” Jeffery wasn’t too sure if he should tell her or not but he also knew Jane would prefer to hear it from him and not someone else.
“Come on Jeff, just tell me, I promise I won’t freak out”
“Okay, umm…. It was Vivian”
“What? You are joking right?”
“No I’m afraid not” Jeffery shook his head as he gauged Jane’s reaction. He knows this was going to affect her relationship with her boss and knowing who Jane was, it might take the grace of God to have her look past it.
“Vivian asked Tania to go to the media about your engagement? But why would she do that?”
Jeffery filled Jane in on all Tania told him and also what Vivian had confessed to him. All through his narration, Jane remained calm. Jeffery could see she was hurt by the things she heard about her boss’s action.
“Babe I’m sorry you had to go through all what you did because of Vivian, I know you held her in high esteem and I did too but I guess humans can be unpredictable sometimes”
“You are right, I never knew Vivian could do a thing like this, now I understand why Katherine kept asking me all sorts of questions about you”
“She did? What exactly did she want to know?” Jeffery asked with so much interest.
“Well she asked stuffs like, your favorite food, places you loved to hangout and other stuff like that”
“Hmmmmm”
“What are you hmmming about?”
“Well isn’t it funny that another girl who is crushing on me, is approaching my girlfriend to give her tips on how to get closer to me? Wait how come you never told me any of these?”
“What would I have told you? Hey Jeff you know that girl Katherine? well she is crushing on you and said she would crush anyone who gets in her way. How about that?”
“She said that too? I don’t know why, but I’m actually finding this information interesting, go on”
“Really, so you want to go and be with her now? Because I can give you her number”
“Really? That would be so nice of you to do, I knew you were a considerate girl” Jeffery said smiling, he was clearly teasing Jane and was enjoying every bit of it.
“I would have to break her legs first” Jane spat.
“Jealous lover, I like” Jeffery leaned down and kssed her. “you know I have eyes for only you, I don’t care how many more women are out there, you are my choice babe and I love you”
“And I love you too Jeff” they both kssed each other
“How about we have a fresh start?” Jeffery proposed
“I would love that”
“Hello, my name is Jeffery and I’m head over heels in love with a girl called Jane”
“Hi Jeffrey, my name is Jane and I am madly in love with a guy called Jeffery”
And then he placed his lips on hers and almost immediately she follows his lead.
They were interrupted by the waiter who brought the red wine Jeffery ordered for. This caused them to giggle like school children. They finally decided to eat their food.
“A body guard huh?” Jane asked as they ate.
“Yeah, with all that has been happening lately, it’s only wise that you have security around you at all times”
“For how long?”
“At least until this whole dust about our relationship and paparazzi following you everywhere settles”
“And then there’s Mr. Okafor’s son too” Jane said quietly.
“Yeah there is that too, but babe I need you not to worry about that okay? I have got everything under control”
“Okay, thanks”
“There is something I need you to do for me”
“What is it?”
“Promise me you won’t freak out?”
“I promise, tell me what is it that you need?”
“I need you to see a therapist.” Jeffery said softly and gauged her reaction.
“Jeff you already know my experience with therapists, why would you want me to go and see one again?”
“Because I want you to heal properly my love, you are still having nightmares and I know you don’t sleep well sometimes, you need to get these things out of the way and you need a professional help to do that, besides your past is making it difficult for you to commit to a relationship”
“Jeff I don’t know, I’m scared, what if what happened in the past repeats itself? I am scared of going through that same process again”
“I promise you it won’t happen, I’m going to get you a trusted therapist”
“What makes you so sure?”
“First of all it’s a she, so that rules out what happened in the past from repeating itself”
“And secondly?”
“She is my sister”
“Your sister? You want me to open up about being rapped and killing someone to your sister?”
“If you don’t want her then we can always go for someone else. There are other therapists I know who are good too but I just felt you might be comfortable with my sister since you both know each other”
“I don’t know Jeff, can I have sometime to think about it?”
“Yeah, yeah sure, take your time no rush I just wanted to let you know what I was thinking”
“Thank you Jeff, I really appreciate you looking out for me”
“Anything for my lady”
“I never got to thank you for the spa treatment, I loved it”.
“I’m glad you did, I felt the need to have your skin pampered after all you had to go through yesterday”
“Awww…. You didn’t have to, thank you. I might get used to this you know?”
“By all means please do because I have registered you for a spa treatment once every month”
“Oh thank you, but I have a request though?”
“Name it”
“Could you not have the whole place booked for me anytime I have an appointment?”
“Is that the request?”
“Yes” she said smiling
“Done, your wish is my command”

WHEN LOVE JUST HAPPENS : EPISODE 41 – 50
Jeffrey’s driver drove them back to his place that night. After they had both had their bath and had changed into their night wear, they both retired for the night. Jane decided to sleep in Jeffery’s room.
“I’m going to resign from my job” Jane’s head was on Jeffery’s chest as they laid on the bed.
“Why? Is it because of what I told you about Vivian?” Jeffery raised his head to have a look at her face.
“Well I have been considering it for a while now and what you told me tonight just cemented my decision” Jane said with sadness.
“babe I understand how you feel” Jeffery sat up on the bed “but, don’t you think you could forgive her and move past it?”
“No I don’t think I can Jeff, yes I have forgiven her but working with her is going to be difficult for me, because I will always be scared that she might do something to hurt me again and I can’t work in an environment I don’t feel safe”
“Oh baby, I’m so sorry, come here” Jeffery pulled Jane in for a hug “she really did make working with her these past weeks unbearable for you didn’t she?”
“You have no idea”
“Then if you think resigning will make you happy, then by all means please do it, nothing should stand between you and your happiness”
“Thank you”
“Anything for you my love, and you can always get a better job okay?”
“I love you Jeff, I don’t know how I was able to survive these past weeks without you”
“You have no idea, It was hell for me. Do you know that I lodged in over four different hotels throughout the period we were fighting?”
“Really, why?”
“Well… I was really trying so hard to forget you and when it seemed like I wasn’t making any progress staying here, because everything I looked at reminded me of you, I decided to lodge in a hotel”
“Okay, so how did you end up lodging in four different hotels?”
“It was as if the universe was trying to torture me or something because I kept seeing someone who looked like you”
“So let me understand this, whenever you see someone that looks me you checked out of the hotel?”
“Exactly”
“Oh my God Jeff, that must have been really hard for you”
“Please baby don’t ever leave me again, I don’t think my sanity can handle it a second time”
“I won’t, because I can’t handle it myself either”
They sealed their love with a kss.
