A Taste of Love (Book #1)

Are you sure It's mine?

Jayson's POV

I wasn't expecting to hear from Scarlet ever again. It had been a month. A month full of unanswered calls and texts. I don't understand why she is calling me now. What is so important that she needs to see me? A million things are running through my head. She opened up to me and I opened up to her, I honestly thought something would come of the two of us. Maybe she was right to begin with. Maybe she couldn't do another relationship. Maybe all she could do were one night stands, sleeping with guy after guy. I hate to even think about this but I wonder how many guys she has slept with since I left to come back home? Today was only Tuesday so I still had 3 days to drive myself insane before I came face to face with the woman whom I had begun to develop feelings for. I was driving myself insane wondering what was going on.

I walk out of my office and to my assistants desk. "Kayla, I need you to cancel all of my meetings and events for the remainder of the week. I have to go out of town for a few days but I will be back by Monday to start a new week. If any one really needs to get in touch with me call my cell phone and let me know please." "Yes sir" Kayla nods.

As I'm heading to my car I pull out my cell phone and call Scarlet.

"Hello" I hear her sweet innocent sounding voice answer the phone.

"Hey. I'm not sure what exactly is going on but I can't wait until Friday to find out. I have already booked a flight and I should be arriving there around 8 tonight. Do you have time to pick me up or should I get a rental car and head to the hotel?"

"No. I mean yes I can be there to get you. No point in wasting money on a car and a hotel room. Be safe Jayson. I'll see you soon."

She almost sounded excited when I told her I would be there sooner. But I wasn't reading into it.

"See you in a few hours. Bye."

Scarlet's POV

I didn't know how to feel. I thought I would have a couple more days before I would have to tell him the news. I'm ready to see him but telling him would change things.

"Who was that?" Caroline asks sitting down beside me.

"Jayson is flying in tonight. He said he needed to come now so we could talk. Oh my god. This is so overwhelming. What if he doesn't want a child? What if he hates me now? "

"Honey, you can't keep questioning yourself with all the what if's. If he is the man that I think he is then he will be here for you. And if, IF I'm wrong then I am here. Your mom is here. Regardless of what way this goes, you have people that will be here for you."

Sighing I stand up. "I know I have people. I know that I have you guys. Even though I shut Jayson out, he is all I can think about. I want him to want this as much as I do. I'm going to go shower and try to relax my nerves some before I have to go pick him up from the airport."

A few hours later it's time for me to get moving. I go to my closet and pick out a pair of my jean shorts and a t-shirt that Jayson left. I hope he doesn't think I'm weird for wearing his shirt. It's big and comfy covering my shorts and goes past my butt. Glancing at my phone I see that it is 7:15. I walk down the stairs and notice that Caroline has left. She probably wants to give Jayson and I our time alone.

Forty minutes later I am at the airport waiting for Jayson to walk out. I begin to feel nauseated but I manage to push that feeling back. I can't be sick while trying to talk to Jayson. I glance in the mirror at myself realizing how tired I look. I have dark circles around my eyes and I don't look as flushed as usual. I am more pale looking than anything.
