Finding Jessica

Chapter 9

"Hello, who are you?" Asked a woman who looked to be around my age.

Before I got a chance to speak Derek appeared by the door wide eyed, I cut him off.

"-never mind, I wasn't aware Derek had any company over. I'll be going." I turned around and went down the porch steps with head held high to the driver.

Just when I thought I was worth something to somebody. Why do men have to be such pigs

I must have been too deep in thought because I was pulled over by Derek.

"Derek, let me go!" I tried pulling away from him. "Jess, stop jumping into conclusions, its not what it looks like." He tries to explain.

"Then tell me what it looks like! Because what it looks like to me is that you invited me, while you had a woman ten times better looking than me, in your home, doing god knows what, only to have me bust you. That's what it looks like!" I yelled pushing against his chest. I turned around again and walked quickly to the driver, only to be stopped again.

"Woman! Will you stop and let me explain!" I turned to look at him and nodded for him to continue.

He frustratedly ran his fingers through his sexy hair. Oh god, I need to stop. "First, she is nothing compared to you, even if she is my sister."

Sister

Not a fling, his sister! He had a sister too. Why am I hearing of his siblings now?!?!

Nice work Jessica, you really did a good job at embarrassing yourself here. And he said she was nothing compared to me. I scoffed at that, that girl could be a Victoria secrets model.

"She was just about to leave and then you showed up." I now regretted saying those words to him. "She's my sister, Jess." He grabbed my hand and led us back to his house.

"I-I- I'm sorry for reacting like that. I just thought...yeah, sorry." I lowered my eyes to the ground.

He chuckled a bit. "Its alright, though I didn't expect it to be this tough to get you to listen to me. Your a real feisty one aren't you?" I blushed.

"Yeah, well when you get tired of getting your heart broken its the one reaction you turn to." I walked up the porch steps with his hand guiding me.

"Well, I hope I can change that." He turned to me and winked. He opened the door and lead me inside.

He locked the door and we headed into the living room where I saw the same woman we were arguing about. His sister.

"Well, glad I didn't ruin your date?" She said putting the champagne glass down on the coffee table. She stood up and walk towards me.

"Hi, I'm Maia Henderson, Derek's sister." She held her hand out towards me. I raise my hand to shake hers.

"I'm Jessic-" I was interrupted by the beauty herself. "Jessica Mayor, yes I know. Derek speaks quite a lot about you, especially for someone he barely knows. Also, I heard about the incident. I'm sorry, I hope your okay now." We let go of each others hands. She turns to give derek a teasing smirk.

I raise my eyebrows and turn to Derek also. "Really...and thank you, I'm fine now." I hold back a laugh, still  stuck on the part about Derek talking about me a lot. His teeth were gritted and there was a tinge of pink on his cheeks. Ha, Maia's already growing on me.

"I only talker about her twice, and that was when-" He was cut off by her.
"When you were kidnapped all he did was talking about you and how you were out of your mind thinking you could handle the situation by yourself. He kept ranting and raging it was non-stop. Then when we found you all he could talk about was how happy he was and how soon he'd make you hi-" Her ranting was stopped by Derek's hand and he whispered something in her ear with a glare. It must've been something bad because her eyes widened and then set into a hard look. She nodded and he removed her hand.

"Well, Derek is being a party pooper and he wants you all to himself," she rolled her eyes,"nice to meet you Jessica, I hope to see you again." She nodded her head at me, grabbed her purse and went out the door.

I cleared my throat. "That was interesting." I turned to him. He had an irritated look and headed for the kitchen, he mumbled 'make yourself at home' before disappearing from my sight. I turned and laid my purse down on the table beside me and sat on the couch.

I picked up a picture of Derek and a female looking into each others eyes. Their gaze was so intimate I felt like I was touching something sacred. As I was putting it down I saw Derek coming towards me with two glasses of champagne.

"Shall we go and eat? Dinners ready." I nodded. He took my hand and led me towards the dining room.
