THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY BOOK TWO (I'll Never Love Again) (girlxgirl)

CH.SIXTEEN

For nobody else, gave me thrill-with all your faults, I love you still. It had to be you, wonderful you, it had to be you.

_Frank Sinatra

JAYCEY'S POV

"I wanted to check up on you," I heard her say through the other line, "I haven't heard from you since the last day I saw you."

The day I embarrassed myself infront of you and your girlfriend!

I almost screamed but restrained myself from it. Eric was in the shower and I was lazing around ontop of the bed, I contemplated whether or not to leave incase he would overhear my conversation with Belle.

"I'm alright, just still a little embarrassed from what happened the other day," I spoke, deciding to stay rooted on the bed.

"You don't have to be, you looked...," she went quiet for a while, as if going over her words, "You looked really cute in that hoodie."

Cute! Pshhh...

"I'm wearing it right now," yes, I was wearing it and yes, I took it from her. It was pink, and Belle wasn't a fan of pink.

And I really loved the fact that it had her scent all over it.

"I bet you look...cute, again."

I smiled to myself, "Are you sure cute is the word you want to use?"

I knew Belle had much more to say, but she was just closing up on me. If only she knew how much I would love to hear her something that would make me go crazy, if only she could be the Belle I used to know.

"Jaycey, I don't know if I can do this," she sighed. I stood up from the bed, going over to the balcony so I could be a bit far away from Eric.

"Don't limit yourself Belle, I truly don't want you to."

"I don't want to break your heart again."

I breathed in, and exhaled slowly. Not speaking for a while so I could construct my words carefully. Belle didn't want to break my heart, but maybe I wanted her to break it. I wanted her to give me her all even if it resulted with me earning a scarred heart. I don't know if I was risking everything for love or for lust but the bottom line was that I wanted Isabelle Anderson and I was determined to get her.

"Isabelle, I still love you. I still want you, and I will have you," my voice came out a soft whisper, "I want the old you back so bad I don't mind if I live through the hurt again."

"What about Eric, or Leslie?"

"What about them?"

"Jaycey you're married," she let out in an unamused chuckle.

"Don't you want me?"

"I do but ---"

"Don't you wish you could fuck me again, cause I wish you could. I wish to lose myself to your touch, I wish to make you yearn for my body, there's a lot I wish for Belle."

"Jaycey ---"

I cut her yet again, "I know you felt something from that kiss. I know you wanted me when you saw me in your hoodie. It's all written in your eyes Belle, you want me too, please don't fight it."

She didn't say anything, I listened to her light breaths as I waited in anticipation to hear what she would say. I wanted her to speak the words I wanted to hear, I hoped that she would.

"I love you too, I can't stop thinking about you. I never stopped loving you Jaycey, and I do want you, so bad I doubt that the next time I see you I'll be able to control myself."

"I don't want you to control yourself."

"Jaycey listen to me ---"

I sighed, "No, Belle, you listen to me. I want to do this with you, I want to risk everything for you. Isn't that enough to show you that I ---"

"Who are you talking to?"

I jumped lightly at the sound of Eric's voice, he truly had bad timing.

"Goddammit Eric! You scared the shit out of me," I said frowning.

"I just wanted to sneak on my beautiful wife and do this," his lips fell on mine, the kiss didn't last long because I remembered that Belle was still on the other end of the line and probably hearing what was going on.

I pushed Eric back but the persistent idiot pulled me back to him again, "Your hoodie smells great. Different actually or is it just you."

If only he knew whom it belonged to.

"Eric, I'm not in the mood."

"You never are these days."

I rolled my eyes, pushing him away and getting inside the room. I didn't want to sleep with him, and he probably had girls everywhere who were more than ready to give him what he wanted so if he wanted to sleep with someone then all he needed was a simple phone call.

"Jaycey are you sleeping with someone else?," he questioned as he followed me.

"Are you really asking me that?"

"Are you really avoiding to answer that?"

"Eric fuck you," I rolled my eyes again,  going over to the door; ready to step out and away from my husband.

"Fuck me? That's something you're failing to do."

"I don't have time for this," I sighed, opening the door and stepping out before slamming it shut. I checked my phone only to realise that Belle had dropped the line. She probably heard some of the things that were said. I made my way to the guest room, I would come out after Eric left because I couldn't stand him at the moment. All I wanted was to be near Belle, and I hoped that would happen soon.
