Always Broken (Book 1 and 2)

Chapter 21: You're Back

SURPRISE!!!!! I'm back, lovelies and its not even next week like I said. Lol, I was in a good mood today.

Brad Rodriguez

"You idiot!" I screamed. "That was our most valuable business deal. You know what? I don't care anymore; you're fired."

"But, sir, I have a family, and I promise, I can fix this. I won't upset you anymore. I have meetings set up at three with three new business men," the man said, as he trembled in his seat. The man was an idiot. First, he blew off the companies' most important deal of the year, and the stupid man can't even talk to me without sounding like a kiss up.

"Then you better do something in the next twenty four hours or you can say 'sayonara' to your job." I growled, and I got up, slamming the door as I walked out the office. Usually, I was a pretty chill person in the afternoon, but I was sick of all these workers. Not only did I have personal issues to deal with at home, I had to cone to work and deal with workers who acted like they were new to the job. I work my butt off for this company I got from my father, and it seems no one appreciates that.

I had to admit though, the reason why I am way more sensitive than usual is because Jackie is not here. I hate to say it, but I miss her deeply, and in the three weeks that I have not seen her, it seems like it's been a year. It seems like Jackie is the one who keeps me calm. I have come to realize over these last few days that without my wife, I am just a cold man. I do not know if I like that idea or not. That's actually quite comical.

Walking into my house, I took off my shoes, and I mentally prepared myself for a lonely day as always. I did not eat most days because Jackie was not here to cook me anything. To be honest, I have not ate in about three days. But then I heard water running in the kitchen.

Who could possibly be here? Maybe it's Annie.

Walking in my kitchen, I caught sight of a person I never thought I would see any time soon. It was Jackie humming a song as she stood cooking by the stove. But she did not notice I was there, and I did not care. I just stared at her beautiful face and her peaceful state while she looked down into a pot, stirring something.

I walked up behind her, grabbing her hips in between my hands. I placed my lips on her neck, kissing it as I buried my face in her neck. I had missed her so much, and even though I was too arrogant to say it, I was not too arrogant to show it.

"Oh my goodness! Brad, you scared me!" She exclaimed, putting her hands up to her heart to try and catch her breath.

"Sorry," I replied nonchalantly as I kept kissing her soft neck. I picked up part of the necklace that I gave her around her neck to look at it. It looked so beautiful on her, and I did not even think she would wear it. It looks like my hard work to woo her did pay off at least a little bit.

"Good heavens, what is it with you today? Let me breathe so I can cook," she giggled.

"You can cook later," I mumbled as I turned her around. I looked into her eyes, and I said what I always say, "Come closer to my face."

She obeyed what I said, and I attached my lips to her soft, pink lips. She closed her eyes, and she blushed so hard that she looked like a red rose in Spring time. I bit her lips, and she gasped, as I picked her up, plopping her body up on a counter top.

As I pecked her lips multiple times, I said, "You're back."

"Yes, I am, but Brad-"

I cut her off as I bit her neck, and her hands came up to the back of my hair, rubbing it.

"Brad, I'm pregnant," she blurted out.

"Great," I said. I have always loved kids so it was not a big deal to me if she was pregnant. After all, she did want kids, and I was fine with that. I was fine with all that except for her getting a job. That is why I even agreed to give her kids. She wanted some stupid babysitting job when she could have been straightforward with me in the first place that she wanted kids.
