Straight To The Heart

Chapter 6

Jaiden POV

"Grace" I call her name seeing that she's trying to avoid eye contact with me. Looking up her eyes meet mine. "What did last night mean to you? Was it just sex to you or?" I ask wanting to get this discussion over with now since we'll have to work together for another month. I already know I want this to be a one-time thing I'm not really looking for a girlfriend right now. I'm hoping it's the same for her.

She gets wide eyed probably surprised I'm being so straightforward. "Uhm, yes" she starts before clearing her throat and drinking some OJ. " In the beginning I didn't expect things to go further than last night until I found out how you treat women and how you show your appreciation for them, so to speak. Uh, I would like to get to know you better but just as friends, we only have one month left together and even though I would like to pursue something more with you I know now is not the time. Our careers are takings us in two different places and I can just tell you aren't looking for what I'm offering right now anyways." She says with a nonchalant shrug before going back to eating.

Letting out and internal breath of relief I push off the counter and walk towards her and sit on the stool beside her. Seeing she's stopped eating and started fidgeting with her hands I grab both of them which causes her to look into my eyes, searching hers I see a hint of sadness. 

Leaning in I give her a hug. Pulling back I find her eyes again "I'm glad you can see where I am with things, I was hopping you wouldn't get attached, last night was great for me as well but right now I'm happy with being single. I also know we weren't meant to be anything more and I'm sorry that I can't except you're offer." I explain.

Nodding her head she lets out a small laugh before pecking my lips "I'm glad we both agree, but besides that fact whoever can hold you're eye is going to be a hell of a lucky woman." She says before giving me another hug and standing up. "I'll say" I tease.

"Don't get cocky" she says with a giggle. "Don't worry I wont, I'm glad the clothes fit,btw." I mention when I actually take a good look at what she has on. "They were the smallest ones I owned. I only wear them when I feel like showing off my hours in the gym" I add as an after thought.

"And my do you have something to show off." She says in a sultry voice. Making her way to me she put her hand under my shirt and drags her nails down my abs which causes me to stiffen. "How long did it take you to get those?" She ask whispering in my ear.

"6 months" I say in a stilted voice.

"Wow, not that long you must have been dedicated." She purrs.

"Oh yeah, I've had them since high school, and I've worked my ass off everyday since then to keep them" I say before moving away from her causing her hand to fall back to her side. Checking my watch I see it's 7am, knowing Di won't be getting up until around nine I figure Grace can stay for another hour.

"That would explain the gym I saw when I was looking for your kitchen. How often do you use it" She questions before walking towards the couch and sitting on it.

"That would be my calisthenics gym, and most of the time I use it when I get off from the hospital" I answer and walk towards her " But yesterday I had a much different but better work out regime." I say in a sensual voice before sitting down on the coffee table in front of her.

Opening her mouth to answer she's cut off by another voice. "Morning, I didn't know you were still home." Turning to the voice I see Diana is up. "Morning Babe, I didn't expect you to be up just yet." Looking at my watch I see it's only 8:30am. 'I really thought I had more time' I mentally scold myself. "Today I don't go in until 11:30am so I'm here for a bit. I made breakfast already, it's in the oven" I explain getting up to kiss her forehead and give her a hug.
