☆UNEDITED☆
◇KIARA POV◇
I move closer to Jarden, I rest my head gently against their chest, finding solace in their comforting presence. The steady rise and fall of Jarden’s breath create a sense of calm as if their heartbeat is a soothing lullaby.
In this moment, the world outside fades away, and all that matters is the warmth and security I feel in Jarden’s embrace. There’s a sense of trust and understanding as if we share an unspoken bond that transcends words. It’s in these simple moments of closeness with Jarden that I find a sense of peace, knowing I’m not alone in this journey. Jarden offers comfort and support, reminding me that I have someone I can rely on, no matter what. So, in this small act of seeking comfort with Jarden, I’m reminded of the power of connection and the beauty of human warmth. It’s these moments that make life’s challenges a little easier to bear.
It seems like my movements woke Jarden up. He raised his head staring at me before smiling.
” best sleep ever” he murmured before lowering his head to kiss me on my cheeks. ” good morning love”. I smiled hiding my face on his chest. He chuckled.
” as much as I love spending all my morning in bed with you, we will not want to miss that appointment right?”
I groaned out loud, then turned my head to look at Jarden.
” kiss me” I murmured.
Jarden looked at me thoughtfully. His gaze was soft and focused as if he was trying to read my mind. His eyes lingered on my face as if he was trying to understand me on a deeper level. It made thoughtful gaze.
” you don’t want to?” I asked staring at him intensely.
” no, it’s just surprising “.
“Okay, since you don’t want to, I can just…..” I was cut short by jarden lips on mine. His soft lips caressed mine so well. Kissing him was addictive, his lips were. His lips moved perfectly on mine.
” I missed this” Jarden murmured in between the kiss, moving his hands to the back of my neck.
We are kissing like crazy. Like our lives depend on it. His tongue slips inside my mouth, gentle but demanding, and it’s nothing like I’ve ever experienced, I suddenly understand why people describe kissing as melting because every square inch of my body dissolves into his. My fingers grip his hair, pulling him closer. My veins throb and my heart explodes. I have never wanted anyone like this before. Except him.

We both got dressed, ate breakfast then went for a meeting, at least it wasn’t as boring as yesterday’s own.
We were already inside the car going back to the hotel.
” so… sorry about yesterday’s question ” Jarden apologised.
“Which question?” I asked.
” I was asking if you had sëx, obviously you did, you already have two kids so…” he laughed nervously. I sigh Turning my head towards the window. I did not want to talk about this. I know this morning’s stuff was just a one-time thing.
” the last meeting we have is tomorrow which is Friday, we can go back on Sunday or Monday”.
“What happened to Saturday?” I asked.
“hmm the private jet won’t be ready then ” I nodded Turning my head back.
We stopped at a place “SUPERMERCATO CONAD” Boldy written at the building.
” why are we here?” I asked but he only smiled before coming out of the car.
I followed him from behind entering the supermarket.
Jarden held my hand, the warmth in his hands made me smile.
” I came to get something for Iris and Jon, I was thinking if you also want to get something for your kids, bills on me” he smiled widely. I stared at him speechlessly, he always found a way to leave me speechless.
He walked towards the toys place, taking some toys and throwing them into the cart.
” I don’t think Jon would like that,” I said removing the blue race car. I picked out a black one instead. He looked at me amused before smiling.
” how do you know that?” He asked still smiling.
” you said he was kind of a rude kid, so I felt like he would like black better” Jarden smiled before continuing to pick out more toys.
He was already picking too much, it was just too much for them.
” you should pick some for your kids too,” Jarden said.
” no, they have enough already ” Jarden frowned before taking another cart.
” a boy and a girl right?” He asked and I nodded.
” name?” He asked.
” Aire and Gigi” I said the name that came into my head. He stared at me weirdly before picking out some toys.
” you don’t like their names?” I asked.
” no I don’t mean it that way it’s just that, you don’t seem like a person to name your kids that” True.
” it was their father’s choice ” I murmured. His mood changed immediately. He continued picking more toys moving the cart to where I was.
” and….done with toys, now candies ” he smiled moving the cart to where the candies were. I watched him as he kept on putting a lot of candies in the cart. He walked to the cookies area picking a lot too. Is this guy trying to give my kids diabetes?
” That is too much for kids” he looked at me before turning back to pick another one.
” their mom will not just give them all at once”.
We finished buying everything that we wanted, I could see the weird looks coming from different angles because our cart was filled with, candies, toys and cookies. All thanks to Jarden.
” diecimila euro signore” ( 10k euro sir) the cashier said.
” Va bene” (okay) Jarden said swiping his card on the payment terminal.
” Grazie per aver fatto acquisti con noi!” (Thanks for shopping with us). Jarden nodded his head.
We began to walk out of the supermarket when a middle-aged woman stopped us.
” e tua moglie?”( is she your wife?) I couldn’t help but wonder what the lady was saying.
” si” (yes). I looked at Jarden who was smiling, I smiled back and then looked at the lady
” tienila ele e un gioiellino” (keep her she is a gem”.
“Grazie” (thank you) Jarden said. The lady gave me a warm smile before walking away.
“What did she say?’ I asked by the time we were already on the driveway.
” ohhh she was asking if you were my wife” I almost smiled at the idea of that.
“And what was your response?” I asked.
” uhm I said no” I wasn’t stupid. I didn’t know the Italian language but I knew “si” was yes. I decided to let it slide and just talk about other things.
We got to the hotel and went back to our normal duties. I took a refreshing bath, talked with my kids, had dinner with jarden then went back to bed. I was surprised when Jarden came to the room and lay beside me.
” Hey, love” he murmured slowly before moving closer to me. I gulped her when his hand made contact with my waist.
As much as I enjoyed messing around with Jarden, I wasn’t still really conformation around him.
” I know you have always wanted to know the reason why I left, and trust me, I regret it every day but I did not have a choice, I loved you and I will always continue to love you no matter what, you are the only one I love and will love. Even though you Don’t take me back I will always love you”
I was touched by the words but I was anxious to know why he left me seven years ago.
” I left because my dad found out about our relationship ”
