REMEDY

Chapter Twenty Six

Karina's POV

Jayson...my only love. Living without him was hard. After speaking to him on the phone and I said goodbye to him, I didn't speak to him again. He called me severally but I ignored. He sent me messages but I didn't reply. I wanted to but I had to keep my dignity. How will I go back to someone who cheated on me and of all ways for it to happen, he had sex with his ex. No! I can't go back. I won't!

The next six months were uneventful and sad for me. I missed Jayson. My life became a routine. Go to work, when I return, I shower and watch a movie. That was my life daily. Sometimes, Kim would come over and we would have some sort of sleep over but because of her very busy schedule, that couldn't always happen. Six months passed and one day when I was in the office, something happened that changed everything. Jayson's father called telling me about his anniversary and how I was needed for a meeting. I tried declining but after much persuasion, I agreed.  I was a bit nervous about travelling back to Los Angeles ...okay, I was nervous as hell! Seeing Jayson again?! I wasn't prepared. I travelled the next day because the meeting was in two days. I didn't tell  any of the girls about me coming over to LA. I travelled with Raji and we checked into a very fine hotel. I made sure it wasn't the one were Merida had done her wedding so I wouldn't end up on the bed where Jayson and Emily had had their intercourse. Yuck! The day of the meeting came and I was a nervous wreck. I put on my blood red two piece suit and blood red shoes and lipstick. I held my white hand bag which went with my white shirt and my hair was left down. I made sure we got to the office some minutes before the meeting because I didn't want to give Jayson any chance to talk to me. I sent Raji in first because I had to calm my nerves before walking in. I finally got the courage and pushed the door open. I saw him seating there looking so handsome and sexy with that messy hair I love so much. I had to put on a straight face so he wouldn't know I was looking at him

"I hope I'm not late" I said with a straight face avoiding any eye contact with Jayson

"Not at all. On the contrary, you are right on time. Please take your seat." Jayson's father said

"Thank you" I responded taking the last available seat clearly saved for me.

"Shall we begin?" Jayson's dad said

The meeting was long. He spoke about the anniversary and how he wanted things to be perfect. He told us what he wanted each of us to do. To me, I believe that this meeting was held too early...I mean, it's five months away! But anyway, it's good to be properly prepared. When the meeting finally finished, he then announced that we would be having meetings continuously for a whole week. I didn't mind the meetings, but what I did care about was seeing Jayson continuously for a whole week. Immediately the meeting ended, I got up and began to head for the door. I noticed Jayson also getting up. I began walking faster and so did he. He was about to get to me when

"Jayson my boy, can I see you for a bit?" Jayson's father said

Whew! Saved by the call!

I quickly dashed through the door and into the elevator heading downstairs. I narrowly escaped talking to Jayson. Escaping him through the week isn't going to be easy. The second and third days passed and he wasn't able to talk to me but the fourth day, my luck ran out. That day, I wore a black turtle neck jumpsuit with a brown trenchcoat and brown platform heels. My hair was packed in a high ponytail and my lips, a perfect maroon red. The meeting finished and as usual, I dashed out into the hallway. I was about entering the elevator when suddenly a hand grabbed me by the arm

"Hey, let me go." I said struggling

"No! Not until we talk" he said

"I don't want to talk to you" I said still struggling to get loose

"Well we need to. I need to clarify what happened that day"

"There's nothing to clarify Jayson. You wanted Emily and you went for her. I don't care anymore about the both of you. You can have sex with each other until you die, I couldn't care less. Now let go of me"

"You know that's not true Karina. I know you still love me and u love you too. Please we need to talk. Please Karina" he said his eyes softening

"Jayson, there's nothing to talk about now let go of me. People are already coming" I said and his hands slowly let go of mine. "Goodbye Jayson" I said stepping into the elevator. Seeing him looking so sad broke my heart. A part of me wanted to believe him and just run to him and kiss him but I wouldn't listen to that part. He cheated on me and that's what happened. Nothing else.

The last day of the meeting came and I was relieved. Finally get to leave this place. I wore a baby pink trouser and a white long sleeve button up shirt. On top, I wore a knee length baby pink jacket and my hair was left cascading down. To top it off I held a baby pink handbag and a pair of gold stilettos. Through out the meeting, I couldn't stop staring at Jayson. He looked so sad. I felt like giving him a chance to explain himself but I won't. I won't believe what he says to me because there is no logical explanation as to why he was having sex at Merida's wedding... With Emily. The meeting finished and as always,I hurriedly got up and exited the room. I was about entering the elevator when again, a hand grabbed me but this time, the hand turned me and lifted me putting me over his shoulders.

"What the fuck! Put me down Jayson" I yelled but he quickly ran and took me to a secluded area of the building I had never been to.

"Where are we? Why did you bring me here? What? You want to have sex with me the same way you has sex with the slut Emily?" I said angrily as he put me down

"No. I just want to talk to you and this was the best way to do so"

"Really? Kidnapping me was the best way?"

"Just listen to me. Look Karina, I don't know what exactly happened that day, but what I know is that the last thing I remember from that day was that I went to lay and rest. That's all. I don't remember having sex with Emily. She drugged me"

"Again with that stupid excuse?" I said

"Look, I know it sounds stupid that is why i want you to come to my house for dinner"

"What? How does coming to your house for dinner stop it from sounding stupid?"

"Come to my house and I will prove it to you that I'm falling the truth. I love you Karina and I will never cheat on you. Especially not with Emily. I know you love me too. I can see it in your eyes"

"Clearly you are mistaking"

"Am I?" He said bending his head closer. He caged me to the wall with his two hands. His breath on my neck brought a tingling sensation. I froze still. "So, are you saying me being this close to you doesn't affect you?" He said talking on my neck. His hot breath on my neck made me feel in a way I had never felt before. I began exhaling unsteadily out of pure pleasure. His hands went around my waist and I couldn't stop him. All i could do was tilt my head giving him better access to my bare neck. I was lost enjoying his touch. A little sound of pleasure came out from inside my throat and my cheeks reddened. I missed him. I missed this. He started planting little kisses on my neck bringing sensations of all kind to me before finally our lips met. It was slow and soft and heart felt. I wanted to stop him but I couldn't. That was where I wanted to be...in his arms feeling him. Kissing him. It was a kiss of fervour and desire. When we separated,our foreheads were resting on each other and we were both smiling like two children.

"Come to dinner let me prove to you that it's you I love and that I am innocent" he said

"Okay" was all I could utter

He better be able to prove it because I really miss him.
