Yes they do get together. but not in this chapter... sort of.
The Divorce
I moaned into my pillow. There were lips kissing their way down my spine. "Oh god."
"Wake up sleepy head," Ji said lying atop of me. Her soft breast pressing against my back.
"Ji..." I moaned again as her fingers flitted against my center.
"Last night was fun, and I went to get us some breakfast." She whispered into my ear, then she took a nibble. "I got you some reading material."
I opened one green eye and turned my head towards the magazine she had been holding. It was a tabloid cover that featured both Ares and me on the cover. On the picture of me posing on the red carpet said, "Abbigayle's Heartbreak" Then on the Ares side was a picture of him and his wife kissing it said "Giving Jayleigh another try". I turned under Ji and she sat up as I took the tabloid in my hands.
"Oh yeah, I'm real heart broken." I said tossing the magazine across the room and pulling Ji down for a kiss. Ji giggled as we began our little game. I didn't want to think about Jayden anymore.
I lay in bed minutes after Ji leaves. I was in no hurry to get up and get dressed. Mom had called earlier, waking us both from a light slumber, to tell me that she and Maddy were going down to the eye and they would come to my flat later. So I lay there scanning the television for something good to watch.
I stopped at one of my favorite movies. " Madison and Julia." it was a movie about two women fugitives. It was on the part that Virginia Davis; the woman that played Madison had a sex scene with a hot young stud. I squint and tilt my head to the side and realize "Holly shit! I know that butt."
I smirk and sit back to watch Jayden in his Pre Ashleigh years pretending to be fucking the hell out of one of my sheroes.
I changed the channel again and stooped at CNN. When I heard, "In entertainment news, Jayden Kross and Ashleigh Martin are indeed over." I looked up at the screen with interest trying to see if any of it rang true. "After a weekend in Cabos with her husband, Ashleigh Martin returned home and filed for divorce."
She is the one that initiated it. I prayed to god that the media would not blame me. I guess that would have been too much to ask. "Kross has been reported to be having an affair with none other than the seductive Hollywood star Abbigayle Marcel. Marcel, 30, was once married to male model and actor André Jones, and actor Bobby Joe Thorn and has admittedly been an advocate for non monogamous relationships."
"Oh fuck." I said shutting off the set. "This just keeps getting better.
The phone rang and I answered as I got up and headed to the bathroom. "Yeah."
"Miss Marcel, this is Sadna from the orphanage here in Pakistan. Congratulations ma'am. The baby is well and your application has been approved.
"Really?" I said there was the biggest grin on my face.
'When can you come back?" She asked.
"I'll leave first flight out..." I said and she was gone. I on the other hand got busy and began to search the net.
"Are we going to get the baby?" Maddy asked.
"We're going to see him, It may be a little while till we can get him." I said as I picked up our bags at the door the next morning. I opened the door as Lilly took a hold or Maddy's hand and we all stepped out to meet the cab just outside my gate.
"I'll get that for you Miss Marcel." The cab driver said taking the bags from me.
"Thank you." I said and waited for Lilly and Maddy to go inside the cab. In the distance I can hear the clicks and whirs of cameras from the Paparazzi.
"Abby!" I heard just before I stepped inside the cab. I looked around and found the source of the voice and I stopped. Our eyes locked as he walked up to me. We just stared. "I'm so glad I caught you."
"You didn't I'm leaving for Pakistan for a few weeks." I answered
"Oh," he said, and looked around and noticed the paparazzi in the corner. I made my decision just then, and pulled him into the cab with us.
"You obviously had something to talk to me about, so talk."
"What do you say we prove the Paparazzi right?"
I looked at him; "I like it when they're wrong."
"Can you seriously tell me that you are going to give up something you want just because of what everyone else might think," He looked out the window at the paparazzi that followed us. "What happened to the woman that married an old man and didn't care what other people thought. The woman that has admittedly kept multiple lovers and didn't care weather everyone thought she was eccentric. The woman who is coveted by millions of people and the sexiest woman alive according to People magazine, and Maxim, and HM..."
"Shut up already." I said slapping his arm before taking a peek at Maddy, who was thankfully asleep in an amused Lilly's arms. "I've never come between a man and his wife in this lifetime."
"Oh but you have," He answered turning to the cab driver, "Ask any married man, whom you've met and talked to. A simple hello will have them doing your bidding."
"It's true miss." The cabby supplied
"Who asked you?" I said with a grin. The cabby grinned and blushed.
"She asked me if I felt anything for you at all." Jayden continued seriously, "I told her that even though what we shared was all scripted, you and I shared an emotional connection that I couldn't stay away from forever. I told her that you were my friend and you would always be."
"I'm guessing she didn't like that." I looked down at my hands.
"She asked me if she was my friend," he paused, "I told her she was my wife." I looked at him, "Ashleigh called her lawyer right after that and I didn't even feel like stopping her."
That was all the self-control I had left. I leaned forward and kissed him. Full on, no holds barred. "We're here miss." I heard Lilly whisper as she tugged at my shirt.
"The photogs haven't caught up yet." The cabby stated looking around.
Not that I cared much anymore, I needed him. We parted anyway. I ran my thumb across his lips removing the lipstick that I left there. He stepped out of the cab and held the door open for us to get out. I know I'm going to catch hell for this, but I've survived worse.
