Family First ( A Billionaire love story )

Chapter Four \ The Call That Changed It All

It was around noon on Tuesday when Jessica caught herself dialing the number on the piece of paper. But she always hung up before the first ring was through. She had done this over twenty times before she placed the phone down.

"Ughhhhh." Jessica Groaned plopping back down onto the couch.

"If you don't stop moaning and groaning and call him, damn. I don't have time to sit here and watch you stress yourself out over nothing." Her Bestfriend Joy said sitting down next to her.

"I want to but I can't Joy I just can't. I have to take care of my kids. I don't have time for dating right now. Maybe when the twins are older but I can't right now Joy. You understand?" Jess said placing her head on her best friends shoulder.

"You're missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime Jess. At least promise me you'll think about it." She said pushing hair out of Jessica's face.

Jessica huffed. "I am thinking about it. I'm over thinking it. That's why we're having this conversation right now. Now come help me make dinner for the kids."

Jessica stood smoothing out her pants as she walked to the kitchen with Joy following close behind.

They spent the next 3 hours preparing and making pepper pot for the children to eat for dinner.

After dinner Jessica watched tv with the kids until it was time for them to go to bed. She tucked them in and made sure they were comfortable before walking to her own room.

She closed her bedroom door behind her and began to undress, grabbing the robe off of her bed.

She walked into her ensuite bathroom, ran warm water, dropping a apple cinnamon bath bomb into the water before stepping in.

She just wanted to relax being a single mother of 3 was not easy.

Once Jessica noticed her skin was becoming wrinkled she decided it was time to get out. She stepped out and wrapped her robe around her while heading into her bedroom. She undid her robe and slipped under the covers.

She let the covers surround her naked body as she relaxed into her bed. She was far from tired though.

She couldn't stop thinking about Grayson. He was so perfect. The way he made her feel when he talked or touched her was amazing.

She wanted to go out on a date with him but she wasn't about to risk her family's happiness. They were fine just how they were.

Jessica couldn't take it anymore. She sat up, letting the covers fall to her waist exposing her perky breasts as she grabbed her phone off the dresser.

She pulled up his number, subconsciously biting her lip and pressed the call button. She almost hung up when she heard his voice.

"Hello?" He Spoke in a sleepy voice.

She paused because Lord knows a mans sleepy voice is a woman's greatest weakness.

"Hello?" Grayson spoke again a little more agitated.

She sighed into the phone before responding.

" Hello Grayson , Its Jessica. I didn't mean to wake you up." She said, gripping the phone until her knuckles turned white.

"Oh, Jessica. I wasn't sleeping in fact I'm still at my office. It isn't to far from you if you'd like to come by so we could chat." He said becoming more interested in the conversation.

"No I don't think that's a good idea. I was calling to take you up on your date offer, if it's still on the table" Jessica said questioningly.

Grayson sighed in defeat before responding. "Yes it's still on the table. For a woman as beautiful as yourself, I would never remove that offer from the table."

"How's Friday night, you can pick me up from my house around 8ish?" She spoke trying to contain the excitement.

"I'll be there at 8 o'clock exactly." He said with a toothy grin.

Jessica was beyond ecstatic, she could hear the happiness in his voice. "Okay see you then, goodnight Grayson." She said waiting for his reply.

"Goodnight, Beautiful." He answered before ending the call.

Jessica slouched back into her bed feeling a bit of relief, excitement, and nervousness wash over her. This was her first real date since her baby father Quincy.

She couldn't worry about that now though, she had a long day ahead of her tomorrow so she needed her sleep. She settled under her covers before drifting off into a dreamless sleep.
