Chapter 28 Set – up
**
She zoomed in the picture and pressed her lips together.
She looked up at George again.
“What?”he asked.
She stood up and scoffed.
“So, someone sent me this”she said, waving her phone in his face.
He took the phone from her and after staring at it, he chuckled.
“Oh, wow…”
“Is that funny?”Janelle inquired, folding her arms.
“Well I guess it is.”she added.
“Don’t be too fragile, Janelle”he replied and gave her back her phone.
Janelle scoffed and flicked her hair back violently.
“You… you can.. can have them all to yourself, okay?. Since I’m not satisfying and so the right thing to do is to go around having s*x with other ladies. Look here, George. I don’t care anymore. You can have as many of them to your pathetic self!”
He sighed and shoved out his phone from his pocket.
“I was gonna trust you before. But, since you don’t, I don’t see any reason why I should!”he said while operating his phone.
He turned the phone to her and her eyes widened.
“What?. What?. How… how….”she stuttered.
“For all I care Janelle, you also can go having the guys to yourself. Now, I believe I’ve given you the go – ahead already. So, go, go out there with them since that’s the reason you’ve been giving me attitudes. Go to the Janelle”
He shoved his phone back in his pocket.
“I don’t believe you believe this… this mere picture!”
“Well, I do. Got any problem with that, oi?”
“George…. do not be ridiculous”
“You’re the one ridiculous, Janelle. I mean, this seems pretty much like a set up!. I believe the person that sent you that, sent me this also!”
Janelle collapsed on the chair and held her head in hand.
“Alright, alright. I’ve had such a hectic day at work, so, please McFarland, do well as not to make me go mad!”she sighed.
“And that do not concern me, Bright”he replied.
They both remained like that for a while.
And then, Janelle spoke up.
“So… this is a set up?. Like, someone want us apart?”
“Exactly my point, Jan. But you just won’t…”
She looked up at him and he paused.
“Why?. Why did you pause?”
He breathed out and placed his both hand at the side of his hip with his elbow turned outward.
“Janelle….”he breathed out.
“Yes?”
“Janelle, you’re getting thin and your face is pale. Janelle, why?. You make it seems like.. seems like..”he sighed again.
“And also, your eyes look heavy. Like, a good sleep will really help right now”
“But, I still have to do some work. And also, we have to find out who sent this.”
“Do not worry about that. I will have someone’s working on it”
He replied, took a step closer to her and scooped her out of the chair and up in a bridal style.
“I have trial….”
“Are you the only prosecutor up there?. You’re stressing yourself out way too much!”
He drop her on the bed and also laid down.
He draw her closer to himself.
“Sleep”he authorised.
“I don’t wanna”she pouted.
He frowned.
“Sleep, Janelle.”he said again.
“Alright, you’re getting me scared. That look, George. Alright, I will try to sleep”she laughed.
She placed her head on his chest.
“George,”she called after sometime, stroking his chest.
“Hm?”
“How did we end up like this?”she asked.
There was a long silence.
She lifted her head up from his chest and looked at him.
Their eyes locked but he quickly look away.
“Look at me, George”she says, pulling his cheek.
“George, look at me”she commands.
He sighed and stared at her.
“You haven’t answered my question”
“I don’t know”he retorted.
She gave a nod and placed her head back on his chest.
She dug her teeth hard on his flesh in a way his flesh was in between her teeth.
“Ouch!!!!, Janelle!”he shouted.
“Janelle, please!!!!”he writhed in pain.
She released his flesh and rubbed her hand on the place she bit him which has turned red.
“I’m sorry…”she smiled.
He groaned in pain silently.
“Come on, I said I’m sorry, okay?”she chuckled and kissed the spot.
“For fuck sake, Janelle!, why did you do that?”
“Because you didn’t answer my question. I hate taking *no for an answer right from the childhood.”
“And… damn!”he sat up.
“Sorry. Does it hurts?”
“Maybe I should do that to you so you can know the feeling…”
She laughed and sat up also.
“Sorry, hmm?”she smiled.
He pushed her head forward and kissed her roughly.
No, he was biting her lips hungrily.
She tried to get out of it but she couldn’t.
Later, he finally let go off her lips.This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“George”she busted into tears.
“Ow, does it hurt?”
“You damned man!”she hit him on his chest.
“Must you always take revenue on me?”she started jabbing his chest.
He caught her hands and pulled her to himself then laid down.
“Sorry”he chuckled.
She rubbed her head on his chest like a puppy.
He circled his arms around her and pat her hair gently until she fell asleep.
After some minutes, she called his name in her sleep.
“Huh?”
“I’m sorry for making us like this.”
“I’m sorry”
“I’m sorry one million times. I.. I was actually afraid. Like, i want to be on my own, I don’t wanna rely on anybody.. and also, I like my job alot, I love it. I.. I’m scared of making babies now also. I’m scared. I’ve watched many videos where many women were in labor and the pains, the pains I see them going through.. it always makes me cower…”
George paused and rubbed her hair.
“Actually, I’m also not ready to make babies. Let enjoy our marriage at least before doing that. And I’m sorry also, for pestering you… I promise I won’t do that again.”
“I promise.”
“I love you, George”
“A lot more. I love you a lot more, my prosecutor.”
He rested his jaw on her head and closed his eyes.
*I love you, Janelle*
And he also slept off.
