Section 25

Jared frowning. "Remember?" His gaze showed a big question mark on Shanon's question. "Is there something I've forgotten?"

As if falling from the highest floor of a building, Shanon grimaced with the pain in his chest. Tears that had previously accumulated in his crackers prepared to fall in one blink. He tried to dodge by staring at the kitchen ceiling while wishing wholeheartedly for the tears to disappear from there.

"Hey, what's going on?" Jared's hands touched his cheeks and put their eyes together. "Why are you crying?" Jared frowned while wiping away the tears that finally dripped on Shanon's left cheek.

He shook his head, put away Jared's hand and wiped his own tears. It feels***** with hope so soon. He cannot be weak like this. He must be strong.

Shanon tries to laugh a little and ventured to look at Jared who is increasingly confused about the change in his emotions. "I... I just got carried away."

The scream on Jared's forehead went deeper. "Bring up the mood because?"

Shanon cupped Jared's face. "I'm so happy to have you."

He squinted his eyes suspiciously. "Is there something behind the name 'my lil Shany'?"

Shanon.

"Say." His force held onto Shanon's hand which was about to release a touch from his cheek.

"Jared, I'm just glad I got such a special call from you" Shannon whispered. "You make me feel special."

"You're special" Jared replied with a face still full of curiosity. "But your reaction reminds me of something strange lately."

Shanon. "What's that?"

"Every time with you, a woman's shadow flashed through my mind." Clearly tightened the grip on Shanon's hand. "I try to remember but I can't. The shadow passed by so quickly. Now I wonder if it's really related to you."

"I don't know about that."

"Why do you look nervous?"

Shanon breathed a long breath. "Jared, we just got to know each other. How can I know all about you?"

"You're right." After being seen considering something while looking at Shanon, Jared finally relented by carrying Shanon's hand around his neck. "You're beautiful even when you cry." Jared stroked his cheek. "But you're so much prettier when you laugh."

"I don't feel that way. I'm just a regular woman, Jared."

"Therefore" he said, peeping at the top of Shanon's nose. "I'm surrounded by amazing women and you know what? They're boring. Different from you who feel ordinary but become unusual for me. You're special, Shanon."

Shanon blushed in shame. When he first met Jared, he felt very special. Now that they have been in a relationship, Shanon feels many times more special to consider herself as the luckiest woman in the world.

If only he had not been so weak at that time. Suppose he does not obey the desires of a heart that is so soft and fragile. Suppose she had been a selfish and courageous woman, she would have gotten Jared who was so pure to herself. Now Jared does still look pure to Shanon despite being married but the purity of the whole where Jared has never touched anyone other than himself is something he really hopes for. If only he had not been so weak at that time.

Shanon shook his head trying to get back to the present. Jared is right next to him. God gave him that opportunity again. He promised not to become weak and desperate so easily a second time.

Shannon kissed Jared on the forehead and smiled broadly. "You're hungry, so am I. I'd better get our dinner ready now."

Jared poked his shoulder. "I think you're right. It would be very uncomfortable to sweat on an empty stomach."

The sensual smile from Jared made his heartbeat beat unstable. "Okay, I need to get it ready now." Repeat Shanon with a whisper.

Jared took a step back as if intending to let go but within seconds came back closer to Shanon and ****** his tiny lips. The woman in front of him was too tempting to ignore even for a moment. He won't let go easily.

After enjoying the romantic moment with Shanon's lips, Jared moved back and admired his work there. "Now you can cook in peace" he said with eyes filled with a mist of passion.

There was nothing Shannon could say, especially when her breath was still stirring after a blind kiss from Jared. He could only nod as if unconscious. Surprisingly he was still lulled to the point that Jared had to help get off the table.

Jared and Shanon spend the night with dinner followed by a warm conversation. Shanon feels deeper and deeper into knowing the new Jared while Jared is further lulled by Shannon's ability to respond and connect. They both felt very calm about each other.

After dinner they sit on the sofa with Shanon, who is struggling in Jared's lap.

"It's 11 p.m., '" muttered the spoiled Shanon drowning his face in the chest of the field. I don't know when he felt so sleepy. Maybe it was because of the gentle rubbing on his head or because of the bedtime humming that Jared had sung for him. In essence, the longer his eyes felt heavier to open. He only realized two things after that. First, Jared moved with him and put him to sleep in the room. Second, Jared who kissed his forehead with a whisper, 'Good night, Shany.' His heart was touched with happiness but could not reply. He gave up on that excessive drowsiness.

Jared drove his car with a million thoughts in mind. Every night he had to make sure Shanon was in bed and sleeping soundly before leaving her alone there. The turmoil of feelings and reservations about leaving him who looks lonely in bed is always a problem.

Every night he had to make sure the apartment was safe before locking the door and going home. Every time he wished to stay and keep Shanon there. One thing that makes his feet can step out of the apartment is his other responsibilities. Jared must see Davin and confirm Olivia's condition as well. The dilemma drove him almost insane to the point of thinking of uniting them all into one house.

Her marriage has always been like this. Everything has to be planned and adjusted. Nothing goes naturally. Everything must be determined before it is implemented and unfortunately this is the first time he reneged on the promise.

Adjacent to her petite woman makes her forget as if there is no problem as long as they are still together with Shanon. He can fight the world or forget the world when he is with Shanon. This is certainly not good. He has a responsibility, after all.

Upon his arrival at home, a guard named Scott opened the gate and greeted him.

"Good night, Mr. Walter."

Jared nodded. "Olivia's home?"

Scott nodded. "Yes, Sir. Miss Olivia came home two hours ago."

"All right," replied Jared then stepped in to enter the house.

"Pulse... Mr. Walter?" call Scott in a doubtful voice. Jared turned around with a frown. "I don't know if I have the right to say this but Mrs Olivia came home a little drunk and was ushered in by a man I don't recognize, sir."

Jared frowning. Olivia knows the rules. It was the most basic agreement among them.Never get drunk while being or return home. The agreement was intended to safeguard and protect Davin. Now Olivia breaking him makes a soaring annoyance in Jared's heart. He should warn his wife.

"I understand. Thanks Scott." Jared turned around and entered the house.

He searches for the whereabouts of Davin who he knows should have slept in the room. Jared opens Davin's room and finds his son sleeping there. His little hero did not get the full attention of him or Olivia therefore he became an independent child. If Shanon were his wife, he would take good care of Davin. In addition, he will definitely stay at home with Davin and Shanon.

Jared stroked Davin's hair, pecked his forehead and went out to find his wife who started to be annoying by breaking the rules. He searched by opening the rooms one by one. Olivia does not find her in the main room until Jared has to search the two guest rooms to be sure. The first room was empty, so he had to check the second room.

When he opened the door, his eyes immediately looked at Olivia who was sleeping on her back without changing her clothes. Jared walked over and saw her who also had no time to remove the make-up. He shook his head while releasing the bag that Olivia placed carelessly on the bed.

"Mmhhh.." muttered Olivia feeling disturbed.

"Olivia," called Jared as he shook his body slowly.

"What's wrong?" ask his wife who has opened her little eyes. "Oh, Jared." He smiled as he put his hand on his neck.

Jared held Olivia down with a sledgehammer. The smell of alcohol was still so stinging everywhere. One thing he liked the most was the smell of alcoholic beverages from a woman. He never touched a drunk woman at all.

"Why don't you change your clothes?" jared asked to help Olivia sit down.

"Oh that... Urghh.me...um..." Olivia couldn't even answer correctly. "Oh I know. I'm with my friend."

Jared frowning. That's not the right answer to the question. He snorted annoyedly then pulled the zipper Olivia's shirt. "You need to take off this dress."

"Hmmm," he murmured again still unconscious.

"You're gonna teach me a lesson tomorrow" Jared threatened as he took off Olivia's dress. "You've crossed the line we agreed to." Jared painstakingly put away the clothes and shoes his wife was wearing, even took a handkerchief, wet it and then removed the make-up that was still attached to his face.

"You never cared about me, Jared," said Olivia with small open eyes. "You don't care."

Jared lays Olivia down again with a wonder ring. "You need to rest." As he was about to move away, his wife's hand caught his arm.

"Jared... How long are you gonna wait for him?"

It cringes. "What do you mean?"

Olivia breathed a long breath and closed her eyes. Jared thought his wife was just blabbing recklessly then went back to sleep but Olivia started again with the mutter a second time. "I'm waiting for you to love me.But you're waiting for him."

"Olivia?" call her intending to find confirmation of the absurd words but Olivia is asleep. He was too drunk to answer or say anything based on evidence. Could it be that it was all just nonsense? Jared pinched his forehead. It's freaky.

Again he looked at his wife questioningly before coming out of the room. Jared cleaned himself up and climbed into the bed that his wife did not occupy tonight. For a while he lay staring at the ceiling of the room and found a new certainty. She did not feel lonely without Olivia beside her. Surprisingly, he did not feel at all the loss of something. This is very different from feeling so unwilling when separated from Shanon before coming home earlier.

Jared closed his eyes with the twitching of his forehead deepening. Can something like that happen in such a short time? Damn it! Is this really a sign that he, a married Jared Walter, is finally in love?

The memory of his frustration with Shanon being close to Hans and the difficulty of leaving Shanon alone in the apartment makes him even more convinced. All of this is a sign. This is a sign that he is already in love with Shanon.
