Kyle's POV
After the fight with Johnny, Jessi kept quiet; she was trembling and I helped her into the bed. I was about to leave when she grabbed my arm and didn't let go. She looked at me; pleading. And I knew what she wanted. I carefully climbed in next to her and she grabbed my hand wrapping it round her. She faced away from me but I could feel the pain in her expression. I stroked her hair until she eventually fell asleep. Soon after that I fell asleep too.
The whole evening had been a mix of confusion, misunderstanding, and passion. That night I dreamed of flying above the clouds with Jessi but suddenly a strong wind picked up and I was separated from her. When she was in the distance I saw Johnny come and grab her; placing a ring on her finger and kissing her. I woke abruptly and I was gasping. I looked to my side and saw Jessi sleeping soundly. I was glad I didn't wake her.
I leant back against the pillow, somehow when Jessi was around I could sleep on a bed. Even in my penthouse I have a double sized tub. I stared at the roof then at the window, according to the look of the clouds and the direction of the wind the rain had started about thirty minutes ago.
The day had just started but I felt a heavy weight fall onto my shoulders. Jessi turned in her sleep; resting her head on my chest and moving her arm over my abdomen. The touch felt nice and an electric surge rippled through me and I tingled all over. Jessi was so calm and special when she was asleep. I moved her hair from her eyes with my fingers.
The moment was disturbed when my phone vibrated in my pocket. I reached to grab it and saw it was Declan. I slowly got up from the bed; moving Jessi's arms down gently. I walked towards the window and answered the phone.
'Kyle? Where are you? We were meant to meet up this morning at your penthouse but you're not in the tub!' He was raising his voice but I told him to shush,' I thought you could only sleep in a tub... Wait man are you with a chick? Are you with Jessi?'
He was speaking to fast,' slow down, yes I am with Jessi, I slept with her last night,' Declan gasped.
'Wow.. Kyle you're at the next stage!' Now he wasn't making any sense.
'What? What has me sleeping with her got to do with being at the next stage? The next stage of what?'
I heard him sigh,' so you didn't do it with her last night?'
'Do what?' I was practically so confused.
'You really are gormless, Kyle... Anyway what happened when you took her upstairs?'
'Well, firstly Lori came up asking all questions so Jessi told us everything or what I thought was everything.'
'Why? what happened?' I heard Declan clang some pots together he must have been cooking at my penthouse.
'Her husband showed up...' There was a loud clang and is shushed him telling him Jessi was still sleeping.
'Wait... Her husband? When did this happen?'
Jessi stirred behind me,' I only got pieces of what happened, I was hoping she'd tell me today but the past few days have been hard on her. I'll call with an update later...'
'So no training today?'
'No...' Jessi stirred again,' I gotta go man talk later!' I shut the lid of the phone and placed it back in my pocket. I moved back over to Jessi. Her eyes were beginning to open so I leant down and kissed her forehead,' Morning gorgeous...'

Jessi's POV
When I woke I felt refreshed but then the events of last night came back to me and a weight fell on my shoulders. Before I opened my eyes I heard Kyle's distinct voice talking to someone on the phone,' I'll call with an update later... No... I gotta go man talk later,' then he shut the phone and walked over to me, I opened my eyes slightly and saw him leaning over me kissing my forehead,' morning gorgeous,' he muttered; a big grin plastered on his face.
Before I answered him I glanced over to the window, it was raining and I felt saddened by it,' morning back...' Then it hit me,' what time is it?' I sat up quickly almost banging heads with Kyle.
He reached into his pocket and check his phone before replacing it and looking back at me,' about nine on the morning...'
'Oh god!' I jumped out of bed quickly and realised I was still wearing my dress from last night. I quickly grabbed some work clothes and ran into the bathroom. A few seconds later I was out again in clean clothes and with a refreshed face. As I made my way towards the elevator, I was stopped by Kyle who held his arm around my waist.
'Where do you think you're going?' He turned me to face him,' I need an explanation after last night...' As much as I was enjoying him keeping me close, I was late.
'Kyle, not now, I need to go...' I pulled away from him and pressed the elevator button. Kyle placed his hand on the door and leaned on it.
'Go where?' He smiled and interestingly new smile that stirred a spark within me.
'I have to get work done...' I fumbled around in my back looking for my phone.
'Can't work wait Jessi? I bet you haven't had a break in three years.' There was a ding from the elevator and Kyle quickly stood straight as to not fall when the doors opened. Before I could move in, he pulled me to him and planted a passionate kiss on my lips.
'Kyle... Latnok will suspect something...' He placed a finger on my lips. The doors closed behind us and I missed the elevator. Kyle pressed his lips to mine again and slowly took my handbag off my arm. I pulled myself from his lips and stared at him,' Kyle I really need to... Go...'
'Well, I'll go too! That guy forced you marry him when you weren't legally able. I can't risk him getting to you!' That was why he was so insistent on keeping me here. He didn't want Johnny to take me away.
'Kyle...' I kissed him on the cheek,' I'll be fine...' I picked my handbag up again and walked back towards the elevator,' if it'll stop you worrying I'll get security...'
'Fine... But.. Be careful...' He smiled and started moving towards the elevator with me.
'No you can't come out this way! Um... Jump!' I pointed to the window.
'In the rain?' I nodded as the elevator doors opened again, he walked over to my window as I walked into the elevator and when the doors began to close; he leapt out into the rain.
When he had gone I sighed heavily. Johnny was a real problem. Really it was my fault what happened. Johnny was so nice to me at first and he treated me fairly but if I had known him to be such a bastard, I would have ran away the time I laid eyes on him.
When I went to New York, I went for the thrills and to get away but being away from Kyle really scarred me. It made me worse and weakened. But I still carried on determined to save him. Then once I managed to get on the right track I kept being turned away because I was too young and had no qualifications. So I made myself an identity. I became a nineteen year old with amazing qualifications and I found jobs all over the place. I had hacked onto the database and ordered a driving license and form of ID. So then I was a new person. That's when I met Johnny. He had always thought I was nineteen... It was my own fault.
I felt a tear flow down my cheek and wiped it off before I reached my floor. The corridor was packed as everybody was hurrying everywhere. Everybody stopped when they saw me and said good morning in a very suspicious tone. I kindly said good morning back and walked to my office. Once inside I sighed. The day had only started a few minutes ago but I felt exhausted from all the pressure of my job.
My office was quiet and peaceful. So I relaxed into my chair and closed my eyes. Suddenly an image of Johnny flashed across my mind and I jerked strangely.
I realised someone was knocking at the door and I called to let them come in. I realised it was Danny,' what can I do for you?'
'Um... Miss Emerson... We have a problem...'
