Night Owl

Night Owl Ch. 28

The plan seemed simple enough. Appear in a few ads and show up at a few rally's. It didn't really seem like I would be doing a lot to help. But if that's all they needed, I'd be willing to lend the hand.

As the meeting wrapped up, all I could think about was JK. I know that Lina said I wasn't giving him enough credit, but I still hated that he found out about his mom over the phone.

Checking my watch, I saw that he'd likely be getting ready to take a nap. It was Wednesday, it was the day he met with a client and he always liked to be rested.

Hard to believe he's still not quit the club, but I get it. Thinks have progressed with his music career but not so much lately with everything going on with me. I feel like I'm holding him back and I need to make this up to him.

"Rae," I heard Jin say. Turning around to face him, his beauty will never be lost on me. Smiling at him, "hey what's up," I asked.

"Want me to take you home?" His question was simple. I don't know why I hesitated. Eventually I nodded my head before I bid my farewells to his mom and my parents.

The first ad would be shot later that weekend, so I'd see them soon.

Walking to the car he opened my door for me like he used to. As I hopped in I got a whiff of his scent. He smelled amazing like always. Shaking my head I caught him smiling at me as he closed the door.

Watching him walk around the car he was so pretty to look at. I hate to admit it to myself but once I got my memories back, part of me did wonder.

I wondered what my life would be like if I had stayed with him. Loved him. Built my life with him. I guess I'll always have those lingering feelings. He was ripped away from me and I him. I didn't doubt where I should be now, but I'll never forget where I've been.

"So," he started, "am I taking you home?" Shaking my head I told him to drop me off at the club. I set it up to have my room for the night. Even tho I knew JK would be busy, I just wanted to be near him. Tonight was a more difficult night. This was the client where, he well, you know. So the thought of him doing that made me shudder a bit.

I know it doesn't mean anything to him, but I won't act like I'm not jealous. Let's be real, it also makes me a little horny. I just need my man. I miss him and I want to be near him. I text him letting him know where we are and of  my plans, so he knows to meet me in The Fortress when he's done.

"Baby, I'm all wrapped up here. Jin is dropping me off at Night Owl. I'll be in our room when you're done with your client."

Just sending a thumbs up kinda of pissed me off. In normal circumstances it wouldn't be but tonight it seemed so dismissive.

"You okay," Jin asked peeking over at me as he kept his eyes on the road.

"Yeah, JK just seems a little off tonight," I said staring at the black screen of my phone. I didn't want to have this conversation with him. I knew that it was hard for him to hear about me and his brother. I didn't want to add salt to this wound.

"It's okay Rae Rae, you can talk about him," he said as I looked over at his genuine smile. How could he smile like that. I was his reason for living at some point. His reason that was ripped away. How could he smile at me.

"Look Rae Rae, I'm not upset with you or him anymore. I know before I was, but could you blame me?" Shaking my head he peeked over at me to see me do so.

"Exactly. I loved and still do love you very much, but I had to understand that with that break many things changed. I held on to you when I should have let you go. I wanted us to work,  but I didn't leave room for the fact that we both grew into different people."
