She waited with the personal chauffeur, that was assigned with her.

With Astraea becoming Jayden's wife she got to ride with her own assigned personal driver.

The heavy metallic gate screeched open.

Astraea ran straight into his arms, hugging him with both arms.

Tears of relief shed through her eyes.

He relished her scent and breathed it deeply in him.

Jayden pulled back and took her in.

It really devastated him to look at her in this state.

"It's okay. You're okay." She said.

He kissed her and interlocked their fingers with each other.

"I was so scared. I thought I lost you."

It pained him to hear her say that. He opened both his arms, embracing her in a hug again.

After a while of relishing both in each other's warmth, they were on their way to the house, he bought for her.

She never let go of him.

Even when they were in their room. He never let go of her.

"I'm going to take a shower." He quickly said, kissing her on the lips.

She quickly nodded and took a look in the closet to see if there was anything comfortable to wear.
She decided on a white tee and shorts that was his.

Then went to drop his dirty clothes into his laundry.

Jayden placed his head on the wall in the bathroom.

A gut feeling he knew all too well. One where he knew that he was hurting her and her still sticking by his side, through everything.

He deeply sighed.

Jayden knew he wasn't going to let her go. He finally saw the one thing, he looked forward to throughout the day. And no one was going to get her away from him, especially when they're on a good note.

Slipping out of the bath, he wrapped a towel around him.

When he opened the door, he saw her picking out a movie for the both of them to watch.

"Finding Nemo?" She blurted out.

Jayden didn't utter anything.
He didn't understand how she could act like nothing had happened. This was not like her.

Astraea looked back at him.
"Uh, yeah." He picked some boxers out of his wardrobe.

Jayden decided to wear some sweatpants, that hung low on his abdomen.

He settled behind her, pulling Astraea into him.

"You smell good." He rubbed his thumb back and forth on his stomach.

Astraea turned her head and gave him a soft peck.

It was supposed to be just that, an innocent kiss.
