EPISODE 26
“Hello, who is this?” Jane asked in shock.
“Hello, you must be Jane, because I can see Jeffrey saved your number as bae”
“Yes I am, and who am I speaking with?”
“This is Josephine, Jeffery’s cousin. I have heard so much about you from Jeffery, and I have been dying to speak to you”
“Oh, hi Josephine, good morning,” Jane let out the breath, she didn’t know she has been holding. ”Hope the things you heard about me are good things?”
”They definitely are, you are all Jeffery talks about”
“What are you doing with my phone, Joe?” Jane could hear Jeffery’s voice at the background.
“I have finally spoken to her” the girl said gleefully.
“Hello” c@m£ Jeffery’s husky voice.
“Hello Jeff”
“Babe?” Jeffery quic-kly looked at the caller ID, which he didn’t even bother to check when he took the phone from his cousin. “Hi, how are you? Are you okay? How is your health” Jeffery spoke very fast, Jane had to resist the urge to laugh. It was as if he was trying to say everything at once, before she changed her mind and ended the call.
“So many questions at once, I’m doing fine”
“I’m sorry, it’s just that I have missed you so much babe”
“And I miss you too, how is your family?”
“They are fine, my mom’s younger sister and her family are here to spend Christmas with I and my dad. How is your sister?”
“She is fine”
They both paused for a while, both waiting for the other person to speak first.
“Why don’t you drop, let me call you back?” Jeffery asked, after a period of uncomfortable silence.
“No it’s okay, I have enough airtime” if she was going to do this, then she would have to do it with her airtime.
“Jeff, I’m sorry for how I reacted lately”
“No babe, you don’t have to apologize”
“plea-se allow me finish, all these while, I have been thinking only about myself, and not considering how you were feeling too. I know this period hasn’t been easy for you too. So I’m calling to say I’m sorry for being a self centered girlfriend”
“Babe, I don’t blame you in any of these, I truly un-derstand that you have been throu-gh a lot, and it’s normal for you to react the way you did”
“But still, I should still not disregard your feelings, from now on, I promise to always st©p and consider how you feel at all times”
“That’s so sweet of you, thanks”
“No nee-d to thank me, you do it for me all the time, it’s high time someone cared for you”
“Now, I feel like a baby”
Jane could tell he was smiling from his voice. “Yes, you are my baby. Now tell me all about your day and all that has been happening to you all these while?”
”I have been good babe”
”I’m serious Jeff, I nee-d you to tell me how you truly feel. No nee-d to hide your feelings”
“Well, aside the fact that you left me to celebr@te Christmas alone?”
“Yes, aside that”
Jeffery told Jane everything that has been going on with him and his family. Including how his sister’s surgery was successful, and his troublesome little cousins who keep bugging him to talk to his fiancée.
He has been finding it ha-rd to find a new secretary, because he couldn’t get himself to trust someone else, after what Sandra and her mother did to Jane.
”I still can’t believe Martha could do something like that” Jane said.
”Me too, and that I never knew she was Sandra’s mother, still baffles me”
”They were so good at hiding it”
”Babe I’m truly sorry, for all you suffered in the hands of those cruel people”
”You have apologized enough, let’s just put all that behind us”
“I miss you babe, I really wish you were here”
“Me too, but you will agree with me that we both nee-d this time ap@rt”
“Yeah, you have a point, just come back soon okay?”
”You can bet, I will”
“Alright bye, I love you”
“I love you too”
”eumum….” Dami dramatically clears her throat. Jane had totally forgotten Dami was still in the room with her. ”So how did it go?”
”Well.. we are still in love with each other”
Jane and Jeffery continued to talk on the phone everyday, they talked about everything, from how their day went, to every other thing they could think of. Sometimes they had video calls, or just voice calls.
”Bae, when are you coming back? being away from you, is becoming unbearable” Jeffery complained during one of their video calls.
”Soon baby, I will be back soon”
”That is what you have been saying for the past two weeks, now we are in a new year, and I haven’t seen you since the year begun. plea-se just come back alre-ady”
”Patience, I will be back before you know it”
What Jeffery didn’t know, was that; Jane’s bags were alre-ady packed for her to travel back to Lagos the next day. She was planning on surprising him.
The next day, Dami and her husband took Jane to the airport to catch her flight. They insisted she traveled by air, and bought her flight ticket for her. When it was time for her dep@rture, she said goodbye to them, and boarded the plane.
Jane arrived Lagos by 12noon, she took her things to her ap@rtment, Amaka was alre-ady at work. So she decided to unpack, freshened up and ordered for some food, which she decided to take with her and pay Jeffery a surprise visit in his office.
When she got to his office premises, she met his manager at the entrance, who told her Jeffery just finished having a meeting. She noticed he has gotten a new secretary, a young man this time around.
“Good afternoon, I’m here to see Mr. Jeffery”
“Good afternoon ma’am, your name plea-se, and do you have an appointment?”
“No, my name is Jane; your boss’s fiancée”
The young man’s countenance, immediately lit up when he realized who Jane was. “I’m sorry ma’am, I didn’t know. I’m new here, I just started working here today”
“It’s okay, is Jeff in his office?”
“Yes ma’am, would you like me to let him know you are around?”
“No, I would like to surprise him”
Jane walked into Jeffery’s office and found him kneading his temple, like he always does whenever he was stressed out.
“Dotun, plea-se I nee-d to take a break, hold all my calls” his eyes were closed as he spoke, Jane stood at the door admiring her ha-rd working fiancé.
“Well, I c@m£ at the right time then, because I brou-ght you lunch”
Jeffery didn’t nee-d to second guess the voice, he quic-kly sprang up from his seat, and rushed to hvg her.
“Oh God, this had better not be a dream” he said as he almost crushed Jane in a hvg.
“No it’s not a dream” Jane laughed
“Oh babe you are truly here” Jeffery lifted her off the floor, and spun her around his office.
“Jeff, what are you doing? Put me down”
“And let you out of my sight? No way” Jeffery was still carrying her, when he called his secretary and asked him to hold all his calls.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” Jeffery sat down on the couch in his office, and placed Jane on his l@ps.
“I wanted to surprise you” Jane bent down and k!$$£d him. Jeffery framed her face in his hands as he took possession of the k!ss.
“Baby I brou-ght lunch” Jane said breaking away from the k!ss, she knew she nee-ded to st©p because she was alre-ady getting we-t from the k!ss.
“You are the food I nee-d right now” Jeffery reclaimed herl-ips with his. Jane m0@n ed softly as her hands freely roamed his che-st.
“Baby…” Jeffery gro-an ed out as he k!$$£d her n£¢k. “I nee-d you so badly, baby”
“Then take me alre-ady” Jane couldn’t hold herself anymore, she started to un-bu-tton his shi-t.
They ended up having a quic-kie in his office, after which, they had lunch together and Jeffery had to close early for the day, and drove her to his place, where he made sweet, and pas-sionate love to her.
The next morning, Jane woke up to the smell of bacon, she opened her eyes and noticed Jeffery wasn’t in be-d. She gr@bb£d his shi-t which they had tossed on the floor along with other of their clothing, in the steam of pas-sion the evening before.
She wore the shi-t, and walked ba-refoot into the kitchen and found Jeffery turning some bacon on the g@s.
”Good morning handsome” She twisted her hair around her f!ngers. Like an iron being drawn to a magnet, Jeffery immediately abandoned what he was doing and went to k!ssher.
”Morning beautiful, how was your night?”
Jane didn’t answer, instead she took off the shi-t she was having on, and dropped it on the floor.
”$h!t” Jeffery quic-kly turned off the g@s cooker, and lifted Jane off the floor. He placed her on the kitchen island where they both had a mind b!owing S-x.
”Jeff..?” Jane whispered as they both l@yon the kitchen floor catching their breath.
”Yes baby?”
”Let’s get married next month”
“What? are you serious?”
“Yes, let’s get married next month”
“You know I haven’t resolved the issue of my son with Lauretha?”
“I don’t care, if he turns out to be your son fine, if he isn’t your son fine too”
”Then, I guess we have a wedding to plan” Jeffery k!$$£d her, and carried her upstairs.
