I'm with you.

Jayden's P.O.V

When I heard the elevator 'ding', I rushed to meet Slo. She hasn't said anything since she left to go and meet with Tokai. I was getting really worried. When I came around the corner, the face I saw was not at all what I was expecting..

"Mother? What are you doing here?"

"Happy to see you too my darling son!"

"What do you want?"

"Tea, please darling, I've had such a long day!" I was about to show my mother the door when I heard the elevator. Sh*t. Slo is back and my mother is here. I saw her come in, she was soaking wet from the rain. Her white sneakers that we bought the other day weren't white anymore, but almost black. When she looked up and saw me she ran into my ready waiting arms. I knew this was going to be really hard on her, but I will do my best to make it better, she needs me now. Her coat was drenched, when I lifted her head which was buried in my chest, I saw there were still drops on her face from the rain and water dripping from her hair. Her face was red and her eyes puffy, she's definitely done a lot of crying.

"I was so worried about you. Do you want to go and take a bath? I'll get the water ready for you."

"Babe.. I uhm..." She can't find her words and started sobbing again.

"Hey, shh shh, it's okay. It's done. I'm glad you're home, now I can take care of you."

I kept her chin up and she nodded.

"Jay honey, what happened to my t... Oh. Why is she here?" My mother came calling out from the lounge. Sloane looked at her but settled back into my embrace when she saw who it was. She didn't bother to greet my mom and I don't blame her.

"She lives here, mom. I told you that already."

"Oh! You were being serious.. Doesn't she have her own place instead of squatting here with you?"

"I told you this before as well, her house burned down two weeks ago."

"Right, right. How convenient, for her. It must be nice to live off of someone else's hard work." My mother is so self-righteous.

"Yeah, you know all about that, don't you mom." My response took her by surprise.

"Surely you two aren't planning on staying together for that long..?" Slo sighed out loud and pulled back from my embrace.

"I'm going to take a bath, babe. We'll talk when your uninvited guest has left the building. I love you." she stood on her toes to kiss my cheek, then she walked off, not once making eye contact with my mother. Good.

"I'll be up soon, angel." she winked at me and went up the stairs.

"What is wrong with you? Why did you come here. I told you this is Sloane's home now, I want her here and she can stay here for as long as she wants." I grabbed my mother's purse from the ottoman she placed it on and gave it to her.

"Get out."

"Jayden!!" my mother had that firm tone as well as that look on her face.

"Mother! I understand that you don't approve of our relationship and that you don't like Sloane, but you can still show her respect as an individual. What kind of elite are you when you can't even treat someone I love with kindness and tact!? Do you understand that I'm a grown man now? I make my own choices and decisions and I bear the consequences and take responsibility for them. I want Sloane, I want all of her and this time I'm serious. The fact that I'm going against your wishes should prove to you how serious I am about that woman! "

" It's just a phase, Jayden. "

" I'm not the rebelling type, mom. You know that. Try to see things the way they are then maybe we can be in the same room again. Just go please. I don't want to talk to you until you've thought about and come to terms with what I've told you." the elevator door opened and I waited for her to take her leave.

" You've hurt me, deeply. I hope you come to your senses before it's too late. " When she was gone, I went to pour some wine for me and Slo. I didn't feel like drinking until my mother showed up and I'm sure Slo could use one after the day I imagined she had.

I decided on a deep Merlot. When I came upstairs I heard the water running so I went to put our glasses down next to the bathtub. It was really full already so I decided to close the taps. Wonder what was taking her so long, I want to see her.

"Angel?" I called out and at the same time she came walking out of the room.

"Got my pj's." she said and smiled at me.

"Come here. Let me just hold you for a while, take away some of the negative energy surrounding you." I pulled her into my arms, wrapping them around her body and holding her tightly. She rested her head on my chest again with her arms around my waist and her hands on my back.

" This is nice. But your heart is beating really fast, are you okay?"

" It does that when you're around." we both let out a slight chuckle.

We didn't move from this position for at least five minutes. We needed our fill of each other. Like recharging your soul after not seeing one another for a while, if that makes any sense.

" Now how about that bath? " I said.

"Oh yeah! We both undressed and got into the tub, settling into the warm water. I sat behind her while she was laying on her back. I started stroking her arm that was on my leg, she immediately got goosebumps from the sensation and I could see her n*****s hardening. I let my fingers trail down the middle of her breasts, past her belly button until my fingers reached her c******s. I played with it a little, enough to just tease her. She opened her legs wide, putting one on the edge of the bath over the side. This was my que. I really wanted to talk to her about today but it looks like she needs release at this at the moment, and I was willing and able to give it to her. I put some pressure on her c**t, her breathing got faster and louder and her boobs were bobbing up and down in the water as I moved my fingers inside of her. She kept her grip on my knees and I could tell she was close to cumming by the way her back arched. I kissed her and with that one kiss, she let out a few moans of pleasure. She turned her body around to look at me, now laying on her stomach on top of me. She started kissing me, tracing little circles with her tongue on my skin, moving her body up and down causing my d**k to stir and harden even more if that's possible.

"Let's go to bed." she said and I stood up almost instantly and helped her to get up and out of the bath. Her legs wrapped around my waist, her wet p***y was slippery against my wet skin. We kept each other's gaze all the while I was carrying her. I put her down on the edge of the bed and when I stood up, both her hands grabbed my ass and she slipped my d**k into her soft warm mouth, sucking it intensively. I stroked her hair and sighed from pure pleasure. She is so good at this. Her mouth, her beautiful lips wrapped around my member, taking all my length, is it possible even for her to become more beautiful than before? She cupped my balls and popped one of them in her mouth. She was sucking away every bit of doubt I had. She gagged a bit and let out a moan, I held her head steady and thrusted my d**k in and out down her throat.

"Give me more, baby." she stopped to say and then continued to suck me. She wanted it all and I would gladly give it. I went faster and deeper, her moaning drove me to my peak and I came all to easy and quickly. Her mouth became warmer around my d**k as my c*m spurted out, her eyes were still closed and she didn't let a drop go to waste.

She leaned back on to the bed and I slumped down to lay on top of her. She was very still if not asleep already. My head was in it's favorite place, right between her titties. I took one of her n*****s in my mouth, just sucking on it a little and gave it a kiss before I fell into a deep sleep.

Sloane's P.O.V

"Why did we have to get up and ready so early, it's Saturday!??" I complained.

"I told you, it's a surprise! And it has to be this early otherwise we won't be able to do all the things I've planned for us." Jay was in such a.... rush. He was definitely excited about something and so was I to some extent, but he knows I don't like surprises. I tried figuring out where he was driving to, but it wasn't long before he parked at The Waterfront. We got out of the car and walked around to the other side of the parking lot. He held my hand all the way and then we stopped outside the Aquarium.

" Okay, so before we get started with our adventure I want to tell you what this is about." He took me inside and showed a membership card or something to the lady at the entrance and she let us through.

"You know I'm going away for a whole month, the month it happens to be your birthday, which I deeply regret. So I wanted to celebrate your birthday today and spoil you a little bit.." Oh so that's what he's been up to.

"Babe, this really isn't necessary and I honestly think a day in bed with you would have been enough. Thank you, my love. I didn't expect this at all!" We entered the room where the sharks were circling around in the water on the other side of the glass. The water reflected on the walls of the room giving it that real aquatic feel. We sat on a bench that was there, I looked at the sea life in awe, and all the while Jay was looking at me. "It's so serene here." I said, memorized by the blue surrounding us.

"It is. I usually come here when I need to think or be alone, and sometimes I just come here to restore myself. Here." he gave me an envelope with the Aquarium's logo on the outside.

"Inside is a membership card for you to come here whenever you like. If you don't use it it's fine. I just thought I'd get it for you anyways incase you miss me when I'm gone, if you happen to be having a bad day and I can't be here for you at that moment. You can come here anytime you like. " How sweet. While marine biology is one of his many expertis, I just liked to look. I stood up and close against the glass, looking at this particular big shark that came around for the third time since we came in here. He was close and slow enough for me to get a good look at all his teeth.

"I've read somewhere that if a shark bites you when you're in the water, you won't feel it because of all the salt in the water. Is that true?" I turned and looked at him raising my eyebrows.

"I don't know, I've never been bit by one."

He walked up to me and moved my hair away from my neck to kiss it. This yellow summer dress was a little cool for the aircon in this room, I don't know if the goosebumps I have is from the cold or from the sensation of his kisses.

" Getting eaten by a shark must be a bad way to go." I said. This man was making my n*****s hard and my panty wet from his touch. Until he suddenly stopped.

"Sharks don't eat people. They only bite them."

"Huh?" Sharks don't eat people?

"Have you ever heard of someone who was eaten by a shark?" Is that a trick question?

"Yeah, what about all the shark attacks that happen?"

"Those were only misunderstandings. Think about it, whenever someone gets 'attacked' by a shark, they either drown or bleed to death or survive it. Sharks don't like human meat, they are always swimming around looking for food and if you're in the water chances are they will think you're a seal or a big fish and they'll come for you. Their eyesight isn't that great, so any movement in the water surrounding them will send a message that there's food nearby. That's why sometimes when they bite humans, once they get a taste of what you are they go away. They probably won't even finish whatever piece they bit off and instead just leave it. People only get bitten because sharks don't know any better. " I looked at him while he was explaining this and took in his face. I tried to burn it into my memory so that I won't ever forget what it was like. He didn't get much of a response from me as I was just lost in the moment and thinking over what he said.

" Okay. Enough of this. You ready for the next stop?" He was like a child beaming with excitement which had me burst out with laughter. What does this man have up his sleeve..

When we got to the other side of The Waterfront, there was a shop called "Crystal Clear". They sold all kinds of amazing stones and crystals. It was a hobby, collection type of thing for me. Reading up on the different types, their healing properties, the energy they carry, it was all so mystical I loved it! Again, he walked right through the shop, leading me to a room in the back. There was this massive scratch patch full off crystal off-cuts. I was in heaven!! I made a stone angel lying there, it was so cool, we sat there and took our time browsing through all the pieces until we had a bag full of treasures. Going back through the shop, he told me to "choose something".

"You know what they say.. 'You don't choose a stone, a stone chooses you'."

How does one choose among all these beautiful rocks?! He bought me a necklace with the most beautiful uncut rhodocrosite pendant hanging from it. This particular stone was ideal for me, what I needed. It was perfect. And so is he. He told me to choose one of the books on crystals and I was so happy to get one, he wrote a little note inside that I wasn't allowed to read until he left for his business trip.

" Can we pleeaaaase go get some food now?" I nagged. I was starving and exhausted from all this excitement.

"Right here." We took a turn at the corner and there was this quaint little Portuguese restaurant. The music, the food, the atmosphere, the set up.. Its was like we were in a little Portugal town. The owners put a lot of effort into this place. A very thin, dark haired lady showed us to a table in the middle of the room and we sat down. She came back with the menus, glasses and the bottle of wine that Jay asked for up front.

"I'll be back in a while to come get your order." the waitress said after opening the bottle and pouring the wine. She smiled and walked off, disappearing into the kitchen.

"Angel. Tell me not to go and I won't."

We had finished our food and nearly the second bottle of wine as well. We sat there by the candlelight, while we ate our meal the sun had set and we were so oblivious. We didn't know about anything or anyone else in the place, we just saw each other.

" Do you not want to go?" I asked confused.

Jay leaned back in his chair and sighed heavily.

"I do, but I don't. I want to get the business done, but I don't want to be away from you. That's why if you don't want me to go, I won't." Of course I don't want him to go, but I can't do that to him, it's his job, it's what he signed up for. As if I'm going to tell him to stay and be the bad guy, I can already hear his mother inside my head. It would be selfish to keep him to myself.

" Babe, I don't want you to go. But I don't want you to stay either. Just go, do what you have to do and I'll be waiting for you and pick you up at the airport when you return. It's just one month. I've been waiting for you for so long I'm sure I can handle thirty days." I smiled at him, but I don't know why we were saying things to reassure one another, when we both know how we really feel.

" One month is a very long time away from you. " His eyes were so piercing and serious. He paid our bill and we finished the little bit of wine that was left in our glasses, then we headed for the door.

" As long as you come back, my love, and rescue this damsel from everlasting deprivation." I said in such a melodramatic way, holding my hand in front of my head as if I was going to faint. If I don't lighten the mood I'm going to start crying and I won't stop until he comes back from his one month business trip. Just then he scooped me up in his arms, bridal style, and carried me out of the restaurant until we reached the bottom of the steps. He put me down while hugging me very tightly. I smacked his arm a few times to indicate that I can't breathe, he was smothering me the way he held on to me.

"Sorry." He whispered, our heads still touching, so close to each other.

"I think we've had enough excitement for one day, let's go home. Luckily I still have the whole weekend to serenade you before I leave Monday morning."

"You mean you had more planned?"

"Have, baby. I have more planned." he said as he opened the door for me and winked.

Right. I hope it involves a bed. How come I've never met anyone before who treats someone like this? Not even my friend's boyfriend's are as romantic as Jay. Not even Kai's girlfriends were this lucky. Then again, Kai is normally the one on the receiving end. He never gave much and all these things became clear to me because Jay showed me that I'm worthy. I never want to feel less than I do with Jay. This must be love, right? I mean, I don't know for sure, but I feel something inside of me that burns for this man. Is that my heart? Is it desire? What is this addictive attraction between us and how do I keep it? I've always tried to live as though I had no fear of losing anything in my life, but this is the first time I have something in my life that I feared losing. I just realized how vulnerable I am at this point, unguarded and wide open.

"I'm with you." I said out loud.

"No matter what happens, baby, I'm with you too."
