As the sunlight slowly crept through the windows, Jasper Jax stirred from his sleep, he gently slipped his arms around the woman beside him. She let out a soft groan as he buried his face in her neck, taking in the scent of her hair and kissing her neck.
"Good morning to you, too," she giggled. He bit at her neck and jawline as he moved his naked body ontop of hers. "Are you trying to seduce me?"
"No, that was lastnight," he grinned at her.
"Oh, okay," she laughed. "So what are you doing, then?"
"Coming back for more..." he playfully growled as he bit down on her earlobe and ran his fingers down her chest.
She felt his manhood harden against her thigh and groaned as she noticed the clock. "Jax, I gotta get ready for work,"
"Nooooo.." he groaned.
"Yes, I can't be late today, I have a million things to do in an eight hour shift,"
Jax simply looked at her and pouted his lip.
"Oh," she laughed. "Don't do that to me!"
He faked a sniffle, still pouting.
"Okay, let's compromise,"
"Awesome. I win. Sex...then you can get ready for work," he said, moving his lips back down to her neck.
"No...no...no..." she gently pushed him off of her and stood up. "Hot and rough shower sex," she grinned.
"Oh!" he jumped up to follow her. "Even better,"
"Good morning, sunshine," Carly greeted her friend as she entered the Metro Court, Joselyn was securely perched on her hip.
"Morning," Becca smiled, looking up from the front desk.
Carly had hired Becca as the Metro-Court's event planner. She handled the weddings, birthdays, and other parties that were thrown there. It didn't take long for the two women to become close to each other. In the past six months, they had become very good friends.
"Me!" Joselyn reached out her little hands for her.
"Hi sweet angel baby," Becca reached out and took her into her arms. "How are you, princess?"
Carly moved to take her coat off and hang it up. "Mercedes was running late, so she'll be here in a bit to take her up to Jax's office. Meanwhile, my little monster girl has been a terror all morning. She has been on my hip all morning, refusing to let me put her down, she threw her breakfast across the room, wouldn't let Morgan sit next to her in the car, you're lucky she's even letting you hold her."
"Well, that's because she loves her Auntie Becca, huh?" Becca grinned as Joselyn laid her head against her shoulder. "By the way, you have a cheerio in your hair," she grabbed a file off the counter and moved down the hall, towards her office.
"Of course I do!" Carly followed her, running her fingers through her hair, finally finding the cheerio. "Becca, I've said it a thousand times and I'll say it again, you look so good with a baby on your hip. You could have a little Morgan baby, it would be adorable!"
Becca sat at her desk, with Joselyn in her lap. She reached in her desk drawer for a pack of crayons that she kept there for her. "A Morgan baby? Really?" Becca looked at her friend, skeptical.
"Yes. I've already told you that you and Jason would make a great couple and beautiful babies,"
Becca laughed. "Aside from Jason not being my type, how do you suggest I do that? Just ask Sam if she'd be okay with stepping aside so I can have the man she is in love with and has been with for so long?"
"Well," Carly made a face. "Yeah, I guess that would be a problem,"
"Any other crazy things you'd like to say this morning?" Becca looked at her friend. She put Joselyn down, the baby waddled across the room, crayons in her hands and moved towards the coffee table.
"No. But, when I think of something, I'll let you know," Carly laughed, taking a piece of paper from Becca's hand and putting it on the table for Joselyn.
"Color!" Joselyn proudly smiled up at her mother, as she began scribbling across the paper.
"Yup, purple." Carly smiled back at her daughter. "So, what do we have going on today?"
"Well, I have atleast four couples coming in to book the ballroom for June weddings," Becca replied, typing something into her computer. She turned to her date planner on her desk, scanning over the day. "The Warner wedding is tomorrow, so there will be vendors and florists in and out all day. Then, I get to deal with Tracy Quartermaine at some point throughout the day. She's planning an 80th birthday party for Edward,"
Carly glanced at her watch. "Well, Olivia should be coming in by 9. She had a doctor's appointment this morning,"
"Yeah, but she's got her day pretty full with all the maintenance going on in the penthouses,"
"Well, if you do need help at any point, I'll be here until 3. I promised my niece Molly that I'd make it to her poetry reading. Other than that, I'm gonna be working on the new menus and doing inventory in the bar."
"I think I'll be okay," Becca leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms across her chest. "But, you can always take on Tracy, I won't mind,"
Carly made a face and faked a laugh. "Umm...yeah, not gonna happen," she moved to help Joselyn put her crayons back in the box. "But, I'm gonna get her up to Jax before Mercedes comes to get her,"
"Okay," Becca stood and planted a kiss on Joselyn's forehead. "Bye Princess. Have fun with your daddy,"
"Daddy!" Joselyn exclaimed. "Daddy, daddy, daddy!" she chanted, waddling towards the door.
"Call me if you need me," Carly said, chasing after Joselyn.
"Daddy!" Joselyn exclaimed as she and Carly entered Jax's office. Jax looked up from the paperwork from his desk with a warm smile.
"Good morning, gorgeous," he stood from his desk and bent down to her level as she ran to him, wrapping her tiny arms around his neck.
"Me missed you!"
"I bet I missed you more," he gently rubbed her back as she hugged him.
"Mercedes is running late this morning," Carly explained. "She's on her way to pick Joselyn up. In the meantime, someone insisted that she get to see her daddy,"
"Really? Who wanted to see daddy?" Jax tickled her.
"Me!" Joselyn giggled. "My daddy!"
Carly smiled. Every time she saw Jax play with the daughter they shared, it only made her realize what she had given up when she divorced him. Lately, she had come to many realizations.
She realized how good he always was to her, always looking past the usual stupid things that she did. She tested his love and his patience so many times, but he had always stood by her. Yet, she threw him away just because she had felt threatened by Brenda's return. She knew Jax would have helped anyone the same way he did Brenda.
Jax had pledged his undying love to Carly over and over again, but she still let jealousy get in the way and kill their relationship. She reaized just how stupid she really was to let him go. Yet, she was too afraid to admit any of this to him.
"Carly-"
Carly shook herself out of her thoughts and forced a smile. "Yeah?"
"You okay?" Jax raised an eyebrow, as he placed Joselyn back down on her own two feet. She ran toward the toy box he had in the corner of his office for her.
"Yeah, I'm fine,"
"Mr. Jacks," his secretary called over the intercom in his office. "Your mother is on line 3,"
"Alright, thanks Jessica," he responded.
"I gotta get back downstairs to get busy on the menus," Carly said, moving to pick Joselyn up. "Mercedes should be here any minute, anyway,"
"Okay, I'll see you around throughout the day, I'm sure," Jax replied, "And you.." he smiled, gently poking at Joselyn. "Be a good girl, okay?"
"I will!" she giggled.
Jax planted a kiss on her forehead and smiled. "I love you, princess,"
"Wuv you daddy!"
"Give Lady Jane my best," Carly smiled, before she and Joselyn made their way out the door.
Jax sat back down on his desk and turned on the speaker-phone. "Hi mom," he said, noticing the blinking alert on his cell phone, telling him he had a new text message.
"Good morning, my son," Jane's voice came over the speaker. "How are things?"
I miss every inch of you so much already. Dinner at my place? Followed by dessert in my bed...hehe.
Jax grinned as he read the text message. "Things are excellent,"
"Oh really? What's new?"
"Well...I have good news,"
"Oh!" he could hear the excitement in her voice. "Are you and Carly back together?"
"No," he sighed. "But, I've met someone..."
