UNEXPECTED ✰ COLIFER

Chapter 17 ✰ Interrupted

Jen's pov

A knock on the door woke me out of the best dream ever. I sighed deeply as I pulled the blankets away to get up. The knocking continued.

'I'm coming! Be patient. It's in the goddamn middle of the night!' I yelled annoyed as I hurried myself to the door.

I unlocked the door, opened it and stared right into Jack's face. 'You have no idea how mad I am right now!' I whispered angry, trying not to wake up others in the hotel.

He pushed me back inside and closed the door behind him. 'I'm sorry for earlier. I really want to help you.'

I rolled my eyes. 'You just woke me out of the best dream ever, so why is it that important to come to me in the middle of the night?' I sneered.

He sat down on the edge of the bed and padded next to him. Although I hated him, I also felt sorry for him. I sat down next to him and sighed. 'What are you really doing here Jack?'

'You have to go back home' he blurted out

I quirked my eyebrow. 'And leaving the opportunity to find him? No way.'

He lifted my chin with his index finger to face him, just like Colin did in my dream. 'You have to go back to your little girl. She needs you and so does this one' he said as he pointed to my pregnant belly.

Deep down I knew that he was right. I was pregnant and left our little girl. Tears welled up in my eyes. 'I'm such a bad mother'

He lifted my chin up again. 'Hey, look at me. You're the best mom the two of them can wish for.'

Tears were running down my cheeks now. 'Really?'

He caressed my cheeks with his thumbs. 'Really.'

I cupped his hands on my face with mine. 'Thanks Jack. I really appreciate it.'

He smiled but then his face got a serious expression. 'You should check for flights back home. I think it isn't good for you to wait much longer.'

I swallowed the lump in my throat. 'I think I can't leave this place knowing that he might be somewhere.'

He grabbed my hands in his. 'I only say what's best for you. If you want to you can go home and I'll stay here to look out for him.'

'But...' I started but he cut me off.

'His parents are also here, right?'

I nodded. 'They are.'

He slid his hand through my hair and looked at me intently. 'Go to your daughter. I'm sure that's what he wanted you to do right now.' He bent forward and rested his forehead against mine. I inhaled deeply as I closed my eyes and noticed that he was wearing the perfume that Colin loved the most. I realized that I was thinking in the past tense and that a part of me was slowly letting go. That I'm slowly growing less in love with him every single day. I think that's the most difficult thing about losing someone you've loved, the way you feel never really dies all at once.

I didn't realize that tears were running down my face. 'What's wrong? Why are you crying?' he whispered as I felt his soft hand sliding over my cheek.

I wrapped my arms around him and buried my face in his neck. It felt like I was reliving the dream I just had, but not with Colin. 'I just don't know what I feel right now'

He gently lifted my head and brought it closer to his. I felt his warm breathing on my lips before I felt his lips gently on mine. Before I realized what was going on, Colin's mom burst into my hotel room. She looked confused for a moment as she saw me with Jack and then I saw disgust on her face. She seemed to forget for a moment what she came for, but recovered quickly.

'They found Colin'
