Chapter 22 The Connection

Jays Thoughts

I wake up in a sweat.. Seeing Susana in my dreams nightly is really starting to take its toll on me. I feel in my soul I am where I am supposed to be. Justina has always been my past present and future. Why is this other woman haunting my dreams?

Justina comes in with a tray full of food strawberries, bagels with cream cheese. A cup of orange juice and coffee with a rose in a vase. “Good morning honey! Today is the day that we really get to see love and happiness. My neice is getting married today.”

I try to bask in her happiness but for some reason I can’t connect to her. I can’t even make love to her.. Just the thought of sleeping with her gives me issues every night. I reply “Yes honey let me shower and get dressed.” Without another word i rise from the bed and enter the bathroom before she could even respond.

Why do i feel this way? I loved this woman with my every breathe?

Susana Thoughts

It's been awhile since I have seen or spoken to Jay. I had to respect their wishes of trying to make their marriage work, but I wonder if he thinks of me as I of him. He was the most wonderful experience in my life and now I am alone. Well not really Jerry is my roommate, and I didn't ever think it would work but he has become a very close friend.

I sit up in my bed dreading to get up for another day. These days have seemed to go fly by. I'm sure it has to do with the fact I am completely swamped with this new employer. I welcome the distraction, because if I didn't have it I would stay at home in my pj's and watch love movies all day.

Jerry has a friend her name is Elise Baker and he seems to have known her for a while. If he and I were in a relationship I would be jealous with how they act sometimes. The crazier thing is I don't sense any desire between them. She is in the business of buying failing establishments and completely demolishing and recreating a new environment. It seems to be a good investment, only if you know the business part. Which she is psychic when it comes to choosing which ones would be the best to tangle with.

I have a meeting with the manager at one bed and breakfasts today at eleven. Jerry knocks on my door and enters. I stay under the covers and plant a smile on my face. He gives me that 'you can't fool me' face and I fold. He says "S you have to get up out of this depression phase. We need you to help with full operational mode. We can't afford to loose this account."

I smile and reply "Don't worry I will close on it today. I spoke with Elise and she explained everything I need to go over with the client. I got this." I rise up and put my robe around me. "I need to shower Jerry we can talk when I get out ." He turns around and replies "Yes ma'am" and walks out the door.

I turn the hot and cold water on and I get a flash of Jays hot muscular naked body. I could never get enough of the tightness all over his magnificent build.

Jerry knocks on the door and I jump from being startled and reply "Yeees" He asks "Do you want some breakfast before you go I made some potato and egg burritos." I answer "Yes please, thank you Jerry." I jump in the shower and I can't rid this feeling that something is about to happen and I have no control over it.

I take a quick shower and when I am out I go to brush my teeth and dress myself. I start to get the hair dryer out but I then decide to leave it as is and just get through the day. Elise will understand she has been really good to me since I started working for her.

I hear the phone ring and hear Jerry "I got it!" I rush to get out just in case it is the client. I put my black slacks on with my button up white collared shirt on. I wrapped my hair into a ball and apply light make up on.. Not that it will make a difference, i wont ever be beautiful... I leave the sad thoughts in the bathroom and throw my game face on. It's time I make a difference in the company and show what I am really made of.

I start to say goodbye but Jerry is sitting on the sofa in a daze. I only remember seeing him act like that when it comes to Justina.. I sit by him and ask him "Are you okay?"

He smiles a weak smile as if he was forcing it on his face. He replies "I am not sure.. I haven't been completely honest with you about Elise.. I'm not sure how I will tell you this.." I look at the floor for a moment and then reply "I won't get mad Jerry if yal are together I am completely fine with that."

He looks at me with the most guilty look "No it's not that it is a lot worse.." I take a deep breathe in and say "Just tell me." He jumps from the sound of my tone and replies "Elise has invited us to her neices wedding her name is Jessica, and Jessica is Justinas sister.. They will be there also."

I laugh and reply "I will not be there Jerry I can not. Why would you keep that from me? I made a promise to Elise I would help with her sisters wedding..." I start to walk back and forth with so much fear in my heart... Can I see him again.. Without the pain?

I guess we shall see...
