My heart's desire

Chapter 16

Jade

*The kiss started getting heated, as I gave him access to let in his touch and welcome it. A moan escaped my lips, and I could feel him pulling out. I opened my eyes only to find him staring right back at me .*

Dante : Sorry , I can't do this .

*I got tongue tied at the same time.*

Jade : Why , what happened ? Do you have a girlfriend?

Dante : I don't do girlfriends .

Jade : Then what is it ? Is it me ?

Dante : I'm just not the man for you. I have to let you go .

*Just like that , he fixed himself and got out of the car to wait for me outside. I collected myself that not believing what just happened . I let out a long sigh, calming myself down*

Jade : It's okay. He's not worth it . Don't let him ruin your night.

Emma : To hell with him . Luca is still there.

Jade : Let's just let it go .

*I don't even wait for her reply as I open the door and get out. I don't even attempt to maintain any eye contact with him. That stupid eye contact led me to think all this for someone who obviously doesn't see me the same and embarass myself like that .*

Isabella

*I make my way inside with my son Theo right behind me.*

Isabella : Go get ready for bed Theo.

Theo : Yes, mommy.

*I make my way to his room to get his bath ready . A few minutes later, he's already inside and bathing .*

Theo : Mommy.

Isabella : Yes, baby .

Theo : When are we calling Drake again ?

Isabella : He's an adult. Theo addresse him as such.

Theo : Sorry, Mommy, I meant Uncle Drake .

Isabella : We'll call him after you bathe baby , you miss him?

Theo : Yes, Mommy, he's my role model . He promised to take me ice skating next time he came over here .

Isabella : He said he'll come here ? How does he know where we stay ?

Theo : I'm sorry, Mommy , I told him . He said he'll join me for the daddy , son show, coming up at school .

Isabella : But you do have grandpa for them .

Theo : Grandpa is always busy, mom . Uncle Drake is more funny, but don't tell him that .

Isabella : Okay, my love, let's go get you in bed while you call you uncle Drake.

Theo : yeyyyyy.

Isabella : Get my phone.

Theo : Here you go, Mommy .

*I take the phone and ring him . He answers on the first ring as if he was waiting for my call. He's naked, and my eyes involuntarily fall on his naked chest, and I blink twice before getting myself back together*

Drake : Hey, Bella.

Isabella : Stop calling me that, Theo wants to talk to you .

Theo : Hey Drake, my man !!!

Drake : Theo you man , how you holding up . I miss you, little dude.

Theo : Good very good , but I miss you too. I think mom missed you too, you know.

Drake : Sweet dreams, Bella.
