Life at Your Feet (Sequel to The Player)

I'm sorry

Jessica was still standing at the entrance of the hospital, crying, when she saw one fancy and expensive car stopping near her. As the window slid down, she looked at Robert inside.

“Come in, Jess” he smiled

Gosh.

She glanced at him.

White shirt, black leather jacket and aviator sunglasses.

He looked amazingly hot.

And she still could not believe how his body had gotten better over the time. He seemed to get sexier as the time passed by.

All she could to was drool over him.

“Robert, seriously…”

“Get in, Jess”

“No”

He took off his glasses, just the way only Robert knows how to “Jessica, please”

She took a deep breath, wiped her tears away and entered the car.

He looked at her, concerned “What happened?” He softly asked, his elbow leaning to her sit

“Robert…” She whispered “Could you… take me home?”

He sighed “Alright, but you will tell me what happened any way” he said, starting to drive

“You still live in the same place?” He asked in a whisper

“Yes…” she glanced at him. His scent was all over the car, and she loved it.

She tried to close her eyes, she had a headache coming. The pain of losing her loved job still in her mind.

Robert kept driving in silence, he didn’t know if he should say something. But when he looked at her and saw her eyes closed, he smiled. She looked adorable.

He drove to her house and, when he stopped, he caressed her face in order to wake her up “Jess?” He whispered “We’re here”

Her eyes opened abruptly and she almost jumped

“Easy… it’s just me” he smiled

“Oh,” she looked around “Thank you”

“Are you going to tell me what happened?” He looked at her

“Uhhh…” she whispered “come in?”

He smiled sweetly at her “Sure”

Both left the car and entered the house. It was basically the same as Robert remembered. Her sweet scent all over.

He missed that house. He could still see both of them walking, smiling, laughing, running, making love, and many other things in each corner of the house. He gulped at the thought

“Water?”

“Hmmm, no, thank you” He looked at her, her eyes red and puffy.

He approached “Jess?”

Another tear fell down her eye as she spoke “I was… I was fired”

His eyes widened “Fired?!”

“Yes…”

“What the hell? You are the best nurse ever!” He said

She just looked down as he touched her chin to make her look at him “What did they say?”

“Nothing. He just said I was fired…” She cried

“Hey… Jess” he pulled her into a soft hug “I’m so sorry”
