The Body Guard

Going Home

JR

I didn't wait to pack my bags.

Limping down the steps more like trying to walk on one leg seeing my injured leg it feels maybe swollen until I walked pass Jack only for him to look at me in regret.

I could see he was staring at my leg but didn't say anything until I felt him grab my arm, "What happened to your leg?"

Roughly pulling my hand back I attempted to speak until she speaks, "Leave her Jack. She is just acting being overly dramatic."

Sighing I headed out the door. He didn't even chase after me. Once I was out of his property I felt a car pull up, "JR." Gerad. "Get in."

"It is okay Gerad. I'm just going to go stay at a hotel or something." I smiled.

"But sir has called me saying for me to drop you off at Alexis." Jack. At least he wasn't totally kicking me out.

But if he wasn't, why did he seem so cold yet caring. He didn't deny nor admit anything. And just not too long ago he had told me he love me yet kick me out. I don't understand him anymore.

Getting in the car I ordered Gerad to take me to the hospital. Course he didn't ask me the reason thank goodness.

Arriving at the hospital Gerad waited in the lobby while I went to see a doctor.

"It seems your ankle is a bit swollen but that is to be expected if you put to much pressure on your leg." He wrapped my ankle up. "What happened for you to have twisted it?"

"I fell." He nodded not seeming to buy my excuses but didn't say anything.

"Well you are all done. Let me write you up some more prescription. By the way how is the pain in your leg?"

"Tolerable."

"Okay, take it easy and don't forget you have to think about the little one inside you. Have you set an appointment?"

"I'm sorry doctor, I didn't have the time."

"Well when have time, make one." Smiling I left only to find myself back out on the road.

"Gerad I don't want to stay with Alexis."

"But sir."

"No, that is an order. Actually take me back to my home." Gerad looked confused.

"My home that I shared with my parents. That is my house. That is my estate. That belongs to me. And I want to go home." Doing as I say he took me home.

Arriving again back in my home, I had things to do. Like groceries. And Cleaning. This was a big house. Not as big as Jack's but still big. While I was cleaning the windows the following day, I knock was heard at my door.

Who could that be? It's not like I had invited anyone else.

Opening the door I was met with a smiling Jack as he came barreling in with bags of groceries for me. He was all smiles like he just didn't kick me out of his house.

"Are you hungry because I bought all kinds and I could cook for you?" He proceeded to prepare the food.

"Jack, what are you doing here?" He didn't miss the shock expression on my face as I was now meshed with his body.

"Cooking for you love." He pecked me on the lips.

Okay, now I'm confused. What about Lily, their daughter. "I don't understand." Is he bipolar?

"What is not to understand?"

"Jack what about Lily Cruz."

"What about her?" He asked nonchalantly.

"What is this? You have a family with her." Well now that he is here I should bombard him with questions that plague my mind. "Are you and her an item? Boyfriend and girlfriend playing family. What about us? I refuse to share you and I refuse to be the other woman."

Jack seemed rather calm by my outburst. But still answered, "It's complicated."

I was now livid, "Well simplify it so that I can understand. Is she the woman you have been seeing, cheating on me?"

He hesitated before answering, "Yes and no."

"What the hell does that even mean?" I was now screaming.

"I was seeing her." He casts his eyes downward.

"How long?"

"Three months."

Three fucking months. Three fucking months and he was seeing her.

"But Jordan don't misunderstand..."

"Out."

"What?"

"You heard me. Get out of my fucking house, my fucking life." At my words his eyes bore into mine. It was the look he had given me the first time he met me, cold and calculating.

"You are not kicking me out." He growled.

"Well too bad because I am. You can't have me and her. You have to choose." I dead pan.

"She is the mother of my child."

"Well I guess you made that choice already so please leave." I sighed in resignation.

"Jordan, we can work this out."

"No we can't." It may be selfish of me but I didn't want to share him. What about our child. What if his child needs him and ours at the same time. He has to chose who comes first.

Just then his phone rings and he picks up, "Yeah." He spoke harshly.

"Okay, tell her daddy I will be there." Hanging up the phone he debated in whether to fix this or leave me and go be with his family.

"Go, your daughter needs you." I scoffed.

"But what about us?"

"Jack there is no us the moment you brought them into your home."

"Our home." He corrected.

"Not anymore, it isn't my home since you kicked me out."

Just as he was about to retaliate, I rushed towards my kitchen sink and threw up. One thing he never notice was my morning sickness which I kept hidden. I made sure to hide that fact.

In an instant Jack was at my back lifting up my hair out of my face, "What is wrong with you?" I rinsed my mouth.

"Nothing just go."

"No, not until you tell me. Are you sick? Is that why you went to the hospital?"

Stupid Gerad. Did he have to tell everything to him.

"I told you I'm fine now leave. Your daughter is waiting for you." I bellowed pushing him out the door.

I tried not to sound hysterical but I couldn't help it.

"Jordan," Jack's voice now firm not liking my attitude, "I'm not leaving..." his phone had rang again this time causing an irritation on his face, "What." He answered.

"I'm leaving now." Hanging up again he looked at me, "This isn't finished. We are not over." As he was about to pull me in for a kiss I stepped back.

"We have been over the moment you cheated."

He couldn't even say anything only an, "I love you, remember that." Not replying I watch him vacate my home.
