Chapter Nine


I was awaken by the shimmering light that expand in the room, I felt warm around my body. I rub my eyes and try to sit up, but I was unfortunately abandoned by my own body again. I felt some heavy muscles surrounded my top body part what’s going on? 

I gaze at my side and it then answered all my questions.

My husband is hugging me tight, my head leaning on his broad hard chest and I'm embracing him as he is to me. I am able to look at his face too closely, not wanting him to be awoken. Later I know, he is hugging me tighter and slowly pulling the blanket to mine. Wait what? We are sharing the same blanket? 

I gasp in horror and finally my brain is now thinking. I look back at Jed and now we are both in shock, and without a nanosecond we both push away from each other and an awkward silence occurred.

“Are you trying to watch me while sleeping?” Jed breaks the silence. “Don’t be ridiculous you jerk! Why would I watch you sleeping?” I snap and quickly stand up from the bed. “You’re supposed to sleep on the floor, why are you now in my bed?” he asks facing at me. “We both agreed that I can sleep at the other end of the bed” I remind him.

What was I thinking? Oh please floor, eat me now! 

For me to change the subject I walk straight to the bathroom and take a few minutes calming myself. What if he thinks that I'm wandering about him? 

My phone buzzes indicating a call from dad. 

“Hi there princess, how are you?” “Hi dad, I’m fine thanks for asking!” I said not hiding the sarcastic tone in my voice. He chuckles and sigh “You know what Cheska? You don’t need to be upset, Jed is the perfect husband! He is good, talented, determined and I can guarantee you that he will do his best to make sure that you are okay” “Dad, I---I need to go! Jed is calling me right now” I lie because I don’t want to talk to them right now, not even my brother. “I know that you are still mad about the agreement Cheska but…” “Don’t mind it dad, you can’t change anything. Goodbye” then I hang-up.

I open the bathroom door and walk outside. Where the heck is Jed? 

I went downstairs and to the kitchen but still no signs of Jed. I am about to open the refrigerator when I see something from the corner of my eye. A sticky note that says:

Mrs. I can’t wait for you to go outside from the bathroom that’s why I just make some notes. I’m on my way to work! See you tonight.
JED

I sigh in relief. Now I can stay away from the confrontations that happen this morning. My phone buzzes again indicating a call from I don’t know, I press the answer button and wait for the caller to talk. “Is this Francheska Shawn?” “Yes, who is this?” I ask. “Good morning ma’am, I am Rico Steer the owner of Baltimore’s Place. I just want to tell you that the place was already taken by Mr. Jed Crawford and that I have to apologize…” I didn't let the caller to finish his apologies, instead I hang-up and walk outside. 

I need to talk to Jed! 

We already have an agreement. He’s so pathetic if he thinks that I am weak and easily bullied. I will let him taste my anger. I pull out my own car from the garage, luckily dad gave me a new car as a wedding present.

About thirty minutes’ drive I safely arrive at Jed’s office. Chin up and walking straight like a model, I focus my sight on the elevator. The elevator door pops open, I go inside and presses the last floor of the building. Fortunately granny told me where Jed’s office is and what floor he is.

I didn’t bother knocking on Jed’s office door, there I see him doing nothing. “Cheska, what a surprise” he smirks. “Don’t you dare call me by my name; I am insanely pissed about you. Why you still bought the Baltimore’s Place Jed? We already had a deal!” I yell. “The place is good for the company Cheska and besides what will you do about the place?” he asks.

“You don’t need to know!” I snap. “Of course I have to know, if you really like to have the Baltimore’s Place tell me the reason why!” he yells back. I sigh in defeat, he’s right! I really need and like the Baltimore’s Place and again I don’t have the choice but to tell him about my plan.

“Fine, I want to build my own restaurant and Baltimore’s Place is the first location I dream of having my own restaurant but it was all ruined because of this bullshit agreement!” I snap. I really don’t think that he is listening at me but surprisingly he does. He is thinking very carefully.

“Well then, you can have the Baltimore’s Place” he states. “What? I mean seriously?” I happily gasp. “An agreement is an agreement, but if you will fail this time I swear I will take back that place Cheska” he warns. “You can count on me” I smile.

“Just sign here and remember you are not Francheska Shawn anymore so change your signature as well” he grabs a piece of documents and gave it to me, I on the other hand happily grab the document out of his hand and quickly sign it.

“It’s nice making business with you my husband” I smirk. “I can say the same with you my wife” he smirks back. Then off I went, happy leaving him behind. What an awkward calling between the two of us, husband and wife?
