Jerika: It's Complicated 🐐💙

Chapter 28

Christian's House

Narrator: Jake had just hung up on Christian. He thought it was funny. He got up from his chair and went to go have breakfast when Charlotte walked in.

Charlotte: Hi sir
Christian: What do you want?
Charlotte: Sir..um your mother is in town and she requested to meet with you.
Christian: She's NOT my mother
Charlotte: She really would like to see you and wants to set up a date with you but if not she didn't threaten to come here.
Christian: I don't care, let her. She needs to cut the loving mother act
Rebecca: It's not an act, I do love you.
Christian: You let her come by Charlotte?
Rebecca: No it's not her fault, I forced her.
Christian: Get the hell out of my house
Rebecca: What is wrong with you?! I am worried
Christian: You only care about my money
Rebecca: Absolutely not! Sit down and speak with me. You may leave Charlotte
Charlotte: Yes ma'am. Goodbye
Rebecca: Listen to me, I'm here because I care about you. Always have and always will
Christian: If you cared about me why did you believe him over me?
Rebecca: Your father assured me he wasn't back to his old ways. So I did believe him instead of you.
Christian: He's not my father just like you're not my mother. I'm so glad I'm adopted and not related to either of you.
Rebecca: I'm sorry for not believing you. I do regret that everyday
Christian: A 16 year old arrested on possession of drugs, spent a year in jail. I got beat everyday until I finally had enough. I promised myself i would get out of there a different person and I did.
Rebecca: Sweetheart please
Christian: Mother I learned so much. I use the skills everyday with the cartel and the mafia. Now the same people who beat me are the same people asking me not to kill them. So thank you, I'm enjoying my life with all the luxury's I get to have.
Rebecca: Money and cars isn't everything. You need love
Christian: Not from you. I am in love
Rebecca: Chris! That's great who is she?
Christian: Why should I tell you?
Rebecca: I want to be in your life and I want to know everything.
Christian: Her name is Erika. She's so beautiful inside and out.
Rebecca: Can I meet her?
Christian: She's not mine yet
Rebecca: What do you mean?
Christian: She's married, she loves this asshole millionaire. He stole her from me
Rebecca: Well if she's happy with him then you should leave it alone.
Christian: NO I will not
Rebecca: There are so many beautiful women that aren't taken. Why her?
Christian: She's perfect mother, she's sassy and ambitious. She's everything I ever wanted in a woman and she's so sexy. I need her, I have to have her.
Rebecca: She is not an object! I don't want you ruining a marriage over your selfish needs. I will help you find a woman to help you forget about this one.
Christian: It will never work, I want her.
Rebecca: Stop it, I mean it.
Christian: Sure, whatever.

Narrator: Christian and Rebecca talked and caught up the rest of the day. Even though he hated her, he did have a little bit of love for her. If she genuinely wanted to be in his life again he wasn't going to push her away.

Jake & Erika's House

Narrator: After playing basketball with the boys, Jake went home. He really wanted to speak to Erika and called her, but she didn't answer.
He tried calling his mother again but she still didn't answer. Feeling hopeless once again, he took a shower and went to bed early.

Miami, Florida

Narrator: Nick and Erika were in Miami. They were staying at the vacation house and it brought Erika memories from when Jake brought her. She moved her suitcase in his room there, she missed him so much but she wasn't going to force his feelings. She changed into something comfortable and met Nick downstairs, they were going to have dinner and meet up with the people she would be working with.

A few hours later after dinner they were home and ready to go to sleep. Erika had a few too many drinks and was feeling emotional. It was nearly two thirty in the morning. She grabbed her phone and saw a missed call from Jake. She immediately dialed back and waited until he answered.

Jake: Hello
Erika: Baby
Jake: *sighs* Hi babe
Erika: I miss you
Jake: I miss you way more, are you ok?
Erika: I have the hiccups
Jake: Did you drink, where are you?
Erika: A little. I'm at the house
Jake: Oh alright, well go to sleep. And I'll talk to you later. I love you
Erika: If you love me you wouldn't second guess our marriage.
Jake: I'm sorry. I'm not the best with my feelings, you know this. Please babe go to sleep and we can talk in the morning when you're sober.
Erika: BYE

Narrator: She hung up feeling frustrated. She wasn't drunk she was a little buzzed but she knew exactly what she was saying. The truth! If he does love her he wouldn't be second guessing the rush of their wedding. Their two month anniversary is ten days away and so far the last week had been rocky. Eventually she fell asleep knowing she had a big day tomorrow. She was excited and nervous but overall happy to know there are companies interested in working with her.

Authors: Hey everyone! This chapter is kind of short but I really wanted to include a little bit about Christian, and why he is the way he is today. Don't get me wrong he's still a psychotic asshole but he wasn't always that way.

See you next chapter! 💙🐐
