He could hear her smile ”And you wonder why your father loves you”

He smiles ”He said he would tell you what he thinks tomorrow”

”Oh i see, he is trying to lure me in to make sure i attend by all means”

”You know your father well Jaime, plus..i also need to ensure you bringing Alexander, i did tell her she is my special guest of honor”
He turns to face her ”Oh..i just need to get her into a dress made for queens”

There was a pause ”I am happy”
”About?”

”That you found someone worth it to love again.”

”Mother?” he moves further away ”I ..”he trails off, he moves further away as his heart began to beat fast.

Gem gasps covering her mouth, Jacob and Salim stare at her

”What is it Gem?”Jacob reaches for her, her face breaks out in a smile

”Oh Jaime, you have my blessing! Oh..wonderful double news! Of course, secret yes but you know your father is…” she laughs ”Okay baby, see you tomorrow and don’t you dare be late, the entire city would be here” she cuts the call and stares at her husband

”What is is Gem?”
”I think soon, we would be planning an even bigger event” she leans in and kisses his lips, she walks away with a happy gait to her feet

”Gem, what did my son tell you, what is he planning?”

”Secret! Secret!” she laughs waving at him as she danced away, ”Only for his mother’s ears for now Darlene, be patient” she giggles. Jacob laughs shaking his head

”What do you think she is happy about?”
”If you saw the news about my son yesterday, i think you can guess”
”Oh! Love, and other things?”
”Possibly” Jacob says , then he frowns ”Jimmy?”

”Well, no one would ever think he is any of the things Steve’s proof said..he has been going about his business as every one, all his business partners were checked out and are clean, his accounts..influx and outgoing is neat..he is like your every day saint close up. ”


Jacob sighs ”I really don’t know what to think or believe anymore. Jaime wouldn’t ever lie, and someone did lock that poor girl in the storeroom and that man attacked her..i need to know what’s going on so i can protect my family..i, i do not understand how to deal with this Jimmy situation”

”I know. The Steve’s document are kept in the archive, until we have something substantial, it can’t be used. It is none and void.”

”But…i can’t seem to get rid of the fact that Jaime had said that Jimmy had purposely hit the tree when he carried pregnant Gem years ago…i mean, Jimmy came to the hospital crying and- i remember that scene so long ago. Gem lying there in blood and me a broken mess and then Jimmy and-, ” he trails off ”Or the fact that Jaime said Jimmy had tried to kill him,, threaten him,…he told me the reason why he began acting the way he did was because of Jimmy wanting him to step down so he can make president and then Mayor…, i – i don’t know what to think about my son. Yes, nothing has been found about him but, Jimmy is my son, and ..he has never been saintly..but he had never shown this side of him ever, so you understand my delima?”
Salim nods

”I want my son to be innocent but..all these..all this things revolving around him scares me, scares me for Jaime, for Gem..and..the innocent woman who swears that it was Jimmy who locked her in”

”I understand”
”He would be here tomorrow”
”What do you want me to do Sir?”
”Just put an eye on him please, i..i don’t know, i don’t know” he trails off
”Don’t worry Sir, aside that..we would be here to ensure that the event runs smoothly..all hands on deck”

”The Prisoner?”
”The judge would proceed with a trail for him tomorrow. We asked him if he had any family member he would like us to call, he said he had none”

”Fine, he should pay for his crimes”
”Yes sir”

He turns away ”Oh by the way, did i tell you how mighty proud i am of Jaime,he sent me this-”

They are walking out to the garden.

”All the food you eat goes to your a-s” he observes taking a glass of juice, Alexander chews off the last fleshing thigh of the chicken and then licks her fingers
”More flesh for you to hold on to ain’it?” she blinks
He smiles ”You are naughty Beckington”
She flutters her lashes at him ”You are not complaining are you Lockswire?”
”No..most definitely not” he leans towards her
A knock on the door, he pauses staring at it. ”Saved by the knock” he winks at her and gets up, picking a rope he throws it over her shoulders, he grabs another and then wears it, he leaves the bed and then opens the door slightly.


”Good morning Sir,Ma’am?” He nods
”Hello Adam, good morning” she says between mouthfuls and waves, going back to her food.

”What’s wrong?”
Adam steps away, Jaime steps out and then closes the door realizing he needed to talk.
Adam began to talk. After a few minutes Jaime stares at him ”You think it’s Jimmy?”

”That’s an understatement, it is Jimmy..but ofcourse no proof. I called a few contacts, they said the dude been a saint..not even meeting up with a miscreant- just office, home, meetings, and a few dinner dates…so how can you accuse him of organizing people to kidnap a pregnant woman much-less toss a house of a dead cop? You can’t! This is making me frustrated because i know for certain it’s Jimmy and i would just love to-.” Jaime sights his folded fist
”You would not do anything stupid!” he orders
Adam doesn’t answer.


Jaime sighs ”I had Salim still keep tabs on him” he explained ”He would let me know if Jimmy has been up to no good”
”You think your brother is stupid? If he is a criminal you think he wouldn’t know he is being watched and cover his tracks”
”He can’t be that good Adam”
”The devil is detailed Sir!” he hisses
Jaime says nothing .
”Look, i hate to be a party-pooper and i know you want to..stay here with Miss Alexander but..Steve’s funeral is in two hours and i have to be there for his wife, i promised and-”

”Adam, it’s fine, i would just tell Alexander”

”No Sir, the other guys would come and-”
”Adam, Steve’s death is connected to me to isn’t it? so i should be there too..we would go to the funeral.” he taps his shoulders

”Thank you Sir”
Adam leaves. Jaime enters the room, and then shuts it.

”Did something happen?” Alexander stares up at him, her eyes questioning
”No..just need to attend the funeral of the cop who died, Adam’s friend. ” he rests his back to the closed door.

”Okay!” she frowns ”You seem sad”
”Yeah, Just think about the guy’s family..” he rubs his brows and drops his hand.
”Wife and unborn kid, Adam mentioned” she gets up coming to him , she doesn’t touch him.

He nods
” Can i come with?” she c---s her head to the side.

He shakes his head ”I would drop you off at home, i bet Tinny-B missed you” he stares at her and then stares at the door leading to the bathroom”You should shower. Plus i may stop by the company and see what i missed and i would come back home to you”
”Okay” she turns away heading to the toilet, she pauses ”can i make you feel better?”

He smiles ”I feel great being with you already ..so..”

”Right” she turns away reaching the door
”But you know, the news the other day spoke about how we need to manage water, so…bathing together saves water, and i would hate to be the one misusing a gift such as water mother nature gave us”

She smiles ”Well, come on then” she disappears , he follows her.

They spent less time lathering themselves with soap and more time kissing and making love under the shower.

He carried her, legs wrapped around him, lips against lips, hips buried against hers, glued together and moving to the rhythm of their bodies until all they held onto was each other, as passion intensified and m0ans and groaning became nothing but sweet music till they fell together, over the top and shattering into each other’s arms.

”I love you!” he whispers into her ears and then he kissed her till she was out of breath.

Alexander alights from the car, Jaime steps out opening his wallet ”Here” he gives him to her

”What? Your cold card?” she stares at it in surprise

He takes her hand and then places the card flat on her palm ”I may not be comfortable leaving you with any one other than Adam but he needs to be at a funeral and i with him, but Greg is trustworthy to, plus there would be a few others here at the house and also with you. Mother said you are her very special guest tomorrow and i would hate to not dress you hope like a special special special guest” he reaches out to tuck a hair behind her ear

”Three specials?”
”One for mother,two for me?’
”How so?”
”You’ll see, come tomorrow” he leans in and then kisses her ”see you later, you can do anything you want with that”
”You know you shouldn’t leave a gold card with a girl who you have no idea how she spends money” she calls out
He laughs as he slips back into the car ”You think i would care if you finish what’s in there?”

”You should, i can take out all your money!”
He shrugs ”Don’t care” he waves as the car pulls away

”Oh Jaime, you silly man!” she smiles biting her lips and then shaking her head
”Look who decided to come home, tell me tell me TELL ME ALL!!!” Tinny-B comes behind her and then squashing her in hug, Alexander squeals in laughter

”Oh, never!!” as soon as Tinny-B lets her go, she dashes into the house with Tinny-B chasing after her.

Officers filled the reception area.
Lita, stood with her family talking with Adam. Jaime waited. They had had the burial at the cemetery for officers, and the reception was moved from the house to a downtown event area, since they couldn’t do it in their home.
Adam is saying something to her, then he brings her to him ”This is Jaime Lockswire, my boss”
Jaime takes her hand, it still shook, her eyes were red , he places his hand to hers ‘I am so sorry for your lose. I didn’t know your Steve but Adam tells me he was a wonderful and upright man. I know it hurts and i know it feels like all hope is gone, but it would be okay. You have to be strong for you, your family and your baby”

”Thank you for coming and i am trying but..he was my family, my all. I have no idea how to go on like this without him” she sniffs
”You have me Lita, you have your family.” Adam says to him

”And i would do everything within my power to support you. Adam told me about the almost kidnap, i called the Chief of police to look into it, and you said your house was trashed and mostly your husband’s stuff?”
She nods.

”I would drive down after to check it out”
”Okay”

Jaime stares at her, wanting to do more ”Do you mind if i cater to some of your needs, atleast it’s the least i can do”
”You really don’t have to..” she trails off
He smiles ”I need to. Atleast you need a place to stay and..do you work?”
”School Teacher, but..haven’t been able to do that since all this”

He nods ”That is fine, we can get you something else-”

”Sir, she doesn’t have to be in the city, right now it may not be safe for her” Adam points out
”But..i can’t just drop my life here and go”
”Adam is right, you need to be away for a bit, okay. Your parents stay out of town right?”

”Yes, West of chocolate City.”
”But that is where you were almost attacked?”

”Yes!”
”You know what, i have a friend and he has this amazing cottage up for sale, it’s in a beautiful town and nice suburbs, schools there and ..it’s a place to raise a kid and a family to rest..it’s in Santonia, off the grid of Chocolate City, you would love it there”
”But how do we go by, moving to a new city and-” she trails off
He smiles tapping her hand ”Do not worry about it, i would have someone contact you if that is fine by you?”
Her eyes fills with tears ”Thank you Sir”
”Jaime, call me Jaime” he pats her hand again ”Adam, you will handle her move immediately yes?”

”Yes Sir, the ceremony is over, if you make the calls now, she can be on the next flight with her family”

”Sure” Jaime takes out his phone and proceeds to make the necessary calls ”Hi Christopher, it’s Jaime, about that cottage, i would like to buy it” he says walking away
She stares after him ”God bless his heart” she sniffs, Adam nods


”He is a good man, come, let me take you to your hotel, someone would be there to pick you all up and take you to the airport”
