"So what are favourite series?" I asked Jay looking at him while eating my Chinese and he blurted, "I can't choose, they're just too many. What's your stupidest fear?"

Jay and I were playing 20 questions because none of us wanted to face the reality of going back home

"I'm afraid of sunflowers," I whispered trying to hide my face with my hair.

"You're afraid of sunflowers?" he laughed making me glare at him.

"Can you please ask the next question?" Jayden continued laughing before saying, "Why are you scared of sunflowers?"

I rolled my eyes and groaned while pleading with Jay with my eyes so that I wouldn't answer and he pretended to look as if he couldn't see my pleading eyes.

"Answer my question," he told me sternly and I groaned before deciding to tell him.

"When I was young, I had a dream," I paused for the dramatic effect while Jay mumbled, 'Like the Martin Luther King dream?"

I glared at him before continuing, "Well my parents and brothers had left me in the dream and then I was running away from some monsters that had come to take me away so I ran into a field of sunflowers that were so tall that they were looking down on me with huge ugly grins and they were..." I dragged the last hoping he wouldn't ask me to continue but he's eyes were wide open and he had a huge grin while he nodded for me to continue. I thought I had married a mature man but what I was seeing here was a grown man in a twenty six year old man's body.

"How does this Chinese taste?" I asked trying to change the subject and Jayden stuck out his tongue at the Chinese before saying, "It tastes cheap."

I rolled my eyes at his snobbish comment before he looked at me with wide eyes and the scary grin which kind of made me shudder.

"I'm not continuing," I snapped and he smirked before acting like he didn't care.

"You don't want to know the rest of the story?" I pressed and he shook his head before saying, 'I'll ask Chris.'

"You wouldn't dare," I growled glaring at him and he just smirked making me roll my eyes.

"Keep talking and I'll show you not to mess with a Henstridge," Jayden threatened playfully while I laughed my lungs out before shrugging while whispering, "Is that a threat Miley wannabe?"

"Oh you're going down."

"Bring it on."

Before I knew what was happening I felt Jayden kiss me and I just stayed rooted to the spot while my brain registered what was happening. I was kissing my husband! It felt so wrong and yet so right at the same time. After 'registering' the kiss I respond much to the dismay of my conscious and I wrapped my hands through his hair. Our lips moved in sync and I felt electrified throughout my body to my fingertips. It was a heated kiss with so much passion and hunger in it. I felt Jay graze my lips with his teeth before biting them softly which made me moan into his mouth while continuing to kiss him. I had to admit this was one of the best kisses of my life but I couldn't let it let my guard down.

Jayden was still the enemy. We continued kissing for some time and at some point he would stop kissing him me so that I would be the one kissing him while his hands were roaming over the parts of my body he could touch considering the position we were in. When we finally broke apart we were both breathless and our lips were swollen. I hated to admit it but I knew Jayden was slowly lowering my guard and I didn't have the heart to stop him.

"We should go," I mumbled biting my lip trying not to laugh and Jay glanced at me before nodding and starting the car.

"What time is it?" Jay asked with his eyes glued to the road as he drove home and I checked on my phone to find out it was 3pm.

"It is 3p.m."

Jay looked at me with an 'are you kidding me?' look and I nodded my head while flashing my phone in front of him.

"Oh my God we've got to go to work tomorrow and I'm so sleepy," I whined sinking into my seat while pouting.

"We'll take the day off," Jay replied simply and I shook my head but didn't answer because of the buzzing that came from my phone. Checking to see who it was I noticed it was Eva and I rolled my eyes before opening the message.

Is everything okay with you and Jay? It is past 3a.m and Jay is not answering my calls or texts so I just wanted to check if everything is okay...

"It's Eva and she wants to know if we're fine," I told Jay and he nodded and told me to tell her we were fine. Quickly typing a reply I turned to look at him and I couldn't help but feel angry at myself for letting my guard down but then again I didn't exactly feel remorseful for what I'd done.

"You really like her don't you?" I questioned staring at him, trying to find an emotion that would tell me whether he was going to lie to me or not but his expression was blank.

"She's the mother of my child to be of course I care about her."

"She's really beautiful and pregnancy agrees with her."

"Lola, I love you and not Eva. Yes I had an affair with Eva but that was because I needed you out of my mind. You are like a drug and I'm addicted to you as hell but now I'm trying to make it right so please let's give us a chance. I hope one day you and I can have our own kids and they will run around in the garden while we watch them and we'll grow old together..."

"Don't be selfish Jayden," I found myself saying as I glared at him. "You can't play around with feelings because people get hurt."

"You can't just drop a bomb like that twice; I can't believe you stooped that low. You already did once and i ignored it but now you're doing it again. I've been through too much and you just saying things putting feeling out there says a lot about you and your character. It shows that you're selfish and manipulative. You're just arrg," I couldn't even find the words to yell or say anything so instead I just glared at him and remained silent. I was beyond furious, how could Jayden say he loved me? Was leaving me to be continuously insulted by his family love? Was everything I was going through love? The fact that he'd said something like that made me mad because clearly he didn't understand what love was.

Looking outside I noticed Jayden had already parked the car in the garage and I jumped out gratefully while Jay ran after me calling my name but I was too fast. Locking the door in my room I took a hot shower and changed into my silk night dress before climbing into my bed. I don't remember how I fell asleep but I'm pretty sure by the time I climbed into bed I was already asleep.

Now what was going to happen?
