Longing You

CHAPTER 13

Jax came out of the bathroom with baggy pants as his only piece of clothing.

He had just taken a shower and, after cleaning the open wounds that he had on his face as best as he could, he prepared himself to finish healing the ones that he had on his body.

All that while grumbling and murmuring, in a low voice, against a worker of his company.

A worker who, with a smile and two dimples, had dazzled a waitress, the owner of the restaurant, and a client ...

Especially that idiotic client, who had not been able to keep his hands away from the young man's body.

ﾟ･ ｡ﾟ FLASHBACK ﾟ｡･ﾟ

“Then... everything is ready, we just have to sign the contract tomorrow morning” - said Jax as he closed the folder and smiled at the middle-aged man who, with a happy expression on his face, nodded from one of the chairs placed around the negotiating table.

A table that, without a doubt, was very huge for just three people.

"Although ... who am I to say anything about it,” - Jax told himself as he remembered his meeting room.

A room with a huge table that, at its best, was used by half of the people it was meant for.

A waste of money, but ...

"Appearances are the key,” - thought the young man as he remembered his father, sitting in his own office and behind a table that could well be occupied by the workers of the entire floor.

Jax sighed to immediately look towards Cole.

The young man was closing his folder while waiting for the computer to finish turning off the presentation program.

"Hmmm ... for not having prepared it before ... I have to accept that he has done an excellent job"

Something that, although he did not want to admit it, was generating mixed feelings inside him.

On one hand, it pissed him off that his plan ... his well-made plan to embarrass and hurt Cole had not worked.

Not even the date with Amy had the result that he was hoping for...

Jealousy.

Rage.

Impotence.

Repentance.

That was what he had wanted to make him feel but, on the contrary, Cole had ended up enjoying an ice cream courtesy of the waitress ... having free vouchers to go to the restaurant whenever he wanted and that it had been delivered, in hand, by the owner.

“It's to apologize for the accident ...” - said the young man who, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, had approached them after hearing the sound of the dishes and the table being overturned.

Yes, as if he would believe it!

"To apologize ...” - Jax thought wryly as he let out a sardonic chuckle,

"then maybe he should have given them to me!"

But he didn't even see one of those tickets... much less have one of them.

And to think that the one who had the accident was him ... HIM, NOT COLE! "

"Although...I don't know why I am this surprised...” - he muttered as he looked at Cole's face, his white skin, his big black eyes, that cheerful expression that made him smile without noticing...

Jax sighed, closing his eyes to immediately open them to fix them on their new client.

“If you excuse me, I will go out a moment to call my employees so they can start fixing the contract” - he said as he pulled the chair back and began to get up.

Mr. Thomson nodded as he indicated a half-hidden door.

“It will take you to my private office, you will be more comfortable there..."

Jax nodded and, without looking towards Cole, left the room.

Yes.

He needed time.

Time to think, to get away from Cole and those feelings ... to remind himself that he should only feel hate ... hate and disgust.

"You can not let yourself go, Jax ...” - he reminded himself as he closed the door and threw himself on the nearest wall,

"you can not let those feelings dominate you again ... it's not worth it, can you hear me?...not worth it!"

After that, with a sigh, he pulled out his cell phone and began dialing his sales manager's number.

The conversation hardly lasted a few minutes.

However, when he opened the door to enter the meeting room once again, Jax froze at what he was seeing.

There, just a few steps away from him, and on the table in the living room, was Cole.

A Cole who was trying, unsuccessfully, to shake off a middle-aged man who, between his legs, was kissing him with ardor while he imprisoned his hands over his head.

“But ... WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ??!!!"

ﾟ･ ｡ﾟEND OF FLASHBACK ﾟ｡･ﾟ

“That Cole ... he always has to go around seducing people!” - Jax growled again as he sat on the bed and took the antiseptic out of a small toilet bag he had collected from the bathroom cabinet.

He was furious as, once again, he had ended up doing just the opposite of what he had planned to do.

Nothing...

NOTHING had turned out well!

And above that...there was that look...

Cole had looked at him in a way that made him want to hold him in his arms and never let him go.

He had observed him with gratitude and even with adoration on his eyes but ... above all ... above all they were shinning with LOVE.

Jax shook his head.

No...

Do not even think about it...

"Do not fall into the same trap again ... IT WAS NOT LOVE!” - he recriminated himself strongly,

"he was just grateful because you saved him from that guy ... he DOES NOT LOVE YOU"

Because if he had loved you ... he would not have done what he did.

If he had loved you ... he would not have gotten that girl pregnant.

If he had loved you ... he would never have married someone else.

He would have fought for him.

He would have begged as he had done that day.

No...

Cole had never loved him.

He was completely sure of that.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Slight knocks on the main door caused Jax to lift his head from his arms and, with a puzzled gesture, get up to leave the bedroom and head towards the entrance to the apartment.

"Who could it be?” - He asked himself while thinking about Em or Paul,

"as much as I know, no one was going to come.. and less at this time."

However, when he opened the door, he ended paralyzed because of shock as he had never imagined that ... that the person that was in front of him could appear like that, without even calling.

Much less after what had happened between them just a few hours before.

“What ... What are you doing here?”
