“Nothing , just happy that you’re happy.” He smile at me and pull me gently to himself.
” You sure ? I thought something happened.”
” Nothing happened.” I sighs and to look at him.
I trail my fingers on his chest and up to his hair.
” It’s nice to have you back .” Jason smile and pull my body into himself. He take l-ips into mine and k-ssed her.
” We’re going for a tour.”
” I’m tired…”
” I hope I’m not the cause ?” I giggle and turn my back against him .
” Maybe ..” I says silently.
He laughs silently and smile at me.
” How many girls have you brought here ?” I ask looking above my shoulders.
” Wait , lemme count…” He sighs and starts counting his fingers.
” Maybe ten.”
” What ?” I exclaim and that made him laugh.
” You ask for the digit , already told you and now you’re freaking out.”
” That’s a lot. Ten is like half of New York.” I turn to look at him and he just smiled.
He stroke my cheek with his fingertip while I watch his eyes.
” So you believed that ?” I shrug and bit my lip.
” I don’t know. I mean you’re Mitchel Cooper.” I roll my eyes and he just laughs.
” Yeah and you’re Gold. I don’t take girls on a trip. Why will I do that ? That’s quite expensive and not meant for a normal bed mate or something.. you’re the first in everything , except you know..” he raise his brows and I laugh at his assumption.
” Yeah , thanks for coming.” I sigh and nod with a pout.
” What if my mom refuse our relationsh¡p ? What if she refused to oblige you know. What will become of us ? Will you still leave ?”
” I told you I won’t . Not anymore. I’ve hurt you too much and that’s enough.” I smile and hug him.
” Jason , I love you..” he k-ssed my temple and stroke my back.
” I love you more , kitty.” I laugh in his embrace and thought about Perkins calling me kitty.
” Thanks for everything..” I whisper in his ear.
We disengage from the hug as Mitchel lean forward to take my l-ips in his.

” Look Perkins I’m not angry at all. I’m just trying to forget everything.” I said on the phone staring at my reflection.
I’m just clad in bikinis. Mitchel is out at the beach doing what I don’t know. He says we’re going a ride on the sea.
” I know , I just thought I offended you. I really didn’t mean to hide anything from you. Your mom was totally harsh about the wh0le thing and we had to keep shut. I’m really sorry..” I sigh and roll my eyes.
” It’s okay.”
” You went to Florida right ?” I laugh and smile at my reflection.
” Yeah , wish you guys were here. We’ve always wanted to come here.”
” You’re the queen with Mitchel the king. I’m happy for you. You’re happy and fully back. If you get back we’re going out , you and Carol and me..” I giggle and wince to Jason’s touch behind me.
” I’m in. I miss you guys. I miss THE s₱0t. I also miss max too. He’s a good person….” I look up at Jason behind me k-ssing my shoulders.
I inhale as he continued planting butterfly k-sses.
” Gold…” Perkins snap at me on the phone. Good , I’m lost didn’t even hear her say a thing.
” What did you say ?” I ask trying to get away from Jason’s grasp but he’s not willing to let go.
” I said when are you coming back ? And carol would love to speak with you.”
” I’m coming back this weekend. Is carol there with you ?”
” Yeah…” There’s silence in the background while Carol gets the phone.
” Hey dummy. You’re in Florida, that’s a good news.” Carol says from the other end.
” Shut up . What’s up with you ?”
” I’m great and still single , but not desperate.” She Chuckles and I laugh.
” That was crazy..”
” Yeah , just pulling my nerves. I just miss hanging out together. We can’t wait till you return.”
” Yeah , me neither.” I inhale to Jason’s touch as his fingers trail around my h¡ps.
” I’m waiting..” he whispers.
” It seems you’re busy . Oops , call us when you’re done grinding..” Carol laughs on the phone and hang up before I could scre-m ” What !”
” Thank God.” He toss my phone aside and pull me closer.
” Not now. I can’t keep up.” He furrows his brows at me as he pull me aside.
” It’s beautiful when it’s a bit dark you know..” he pull out a seat for me while I sit down.
” You successfully sent everyone away , and now it’s a frequent routine that you must order for food.” He scoffs at my speech and sit opposite me.
” I want us to be alone , i told you.” He avert his gaze at me directly as he pass me a smug look.
” Okay , I didn’t notice a personal craft. I’m going for a ride..” I squeal and run to the beach.
” Gold , there’s a shark.” I scre-m and ran back. Jason couldn’t help but laugh at me.
” Just kidding.”
” What ? I really want to. You see that other island , let’s just go there…” I said sitting on his laps touching his hair.
” Gold , it’s a beach. We’ll go there tomorrow. It’s almost dark.”
” You promise ?” I ask with a smirk. I raise my brows at me and he laughs.
” Deal.”
” Yess…” I squeal and hop out of his laps striding to my seat.
” Let’s arm wrestle Jughead.” I wink at him.
” You’re serious ?”
” 1000%.” I reply in a rather low tone. He laughs and rest his elbow on the table waiting for my hand.
” Let’s make a bet.” I cut him short.
” Okay .”
” If you let me win you’ll sleep on the couch but if you win you’ll sleep on the floor. Deal ?”
” Wait…” I smile broadly and stretch out my hand.
” You’re scared that I’m definitely gonna win ? Cause you’ll sleep on the floor.”
” You’re cheating and it’s not cool.” He whine but I ignored him.
” That’s not even a bet.”
” So what’s a bet ?” He sighs and look around.
” If I win you’ll strip and if you win I’ll take off my shirt , only..” I stare at him in awe as he grin at me.
” Now she’s scared..” I smack him on his arm and he end up hissing in pain.
” Your hands are tiny but your beating hurts.”
” That’s called black girl magic.” He w¡den his eyes and I nod.
We stare at each other for a while before laughing in unison.
” That was ridiculous.” I stand up to get my ringing phone in,side the house.
Mom’s calling. I look at the dialer and walk outside finding my way to my seat. I really don’t want to talk to her. She never listens. I place my phone on the table and watch it stop ringing.
” You’re hurting her. It’s not fair.” I sigh and look at my ringing phone . This time it’s my aunt.
I growl and ignored the call. I call back my phone and she picked up.
” Gold , where are you ?”
” Mom , I’m fine. You shouldn’t worry about you.”
” Why shouldn’t I worry about you ? Have you gone out with him again ?” She scolds on the phone.
” Please don’t start . I’m not in the country , I traveled to Florida , with Mitchel. Mom just please go back home and forget everything. You should forgive him he’s sorry. If you keep on acting this way , you’ll push me far away without even knowing. I’m coming this weekend and we need to talk.”
” We need to talk huh ? We need to talk about your s€× life with Mitchel Cooper. I thought you hated him , I thought you hated the fact Emily had fun with him.” I sigh and stand up finding my way to the beach.
I don’t wanna get Mitchel upset.
” Yeah i hated him before , not untill I get to know him. We’re all bad and same time we make mistakes. He’s a changed person , he’s different now.” I tell her .
” He’s a change person. Does he have a v***** now ? Or did you magically changed him ?”
” Mom please understand. Why is it so hærd to accept my choice ?”
” Because your choice killed your sister’s happiness. It ended your sister’s life. I don’t know why I’m having this conversation with you. You won’t let him go it’s obvious. He has wealth , he bought you a Lamborghini and another Lamborghini. Your own mansion in New York , he takes you to Dubai and now he has taken you to Florida, just so you can have s€× with him without hesitation. You think life Is all about having s€× with a billionaire ? I’m taking my hands out of your relationsh¡p with Mitchel. I don’t care okay , just go on , date him. You’re happy I think that’s all that really matters. I will just go to bed , close my eyes and imagine Mitchel never did anything to my daughter because you’re both in love. I understand , it’s pointless trying to ruin everything , but I just want to make something clear , I’m not sorry for sending him away so that you can move on , I just thought it’s the best thing to do as a mother who cares about her only child….” With those words she hang up.
Right now i feel like going to New York. I just need to apologise to her , maybe for rebelling. Her words always hurt me in several ways and it’s disturbing. I sigh and turn back to meet Mitchel , who’s been watching me.
He stands up and hug me. I weep on his arm as he took me in,side. Jason made dinner and feed me to bed. I lay on his chest and let his hand stroke me to sleep locking our legs together.
I close my eyes and I fall asleep.
Following morning, I woke up late again. I stride to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I return and jump back to bed. Jason walks back with a coffee and give it to me.
” Good morning..” he k-ss my cheek and sit close to me.
” Good morning and thanks.”
” You’re welcome.” He replies.
” You’re hungry ?” He asks. His looks is just normal but look like someone who didn’t sleep through out the night.
” Thanks I’m good. Are you okay ?” I ask him.
” No.”
I sit up and keep the coffee aside.
” You wanna talk about it ?”
” It’s about you.” He stated sighing.
” What happened to me ?” I ask looking tensed. What’s happening to me that I didn’t notice.
” You remember the time Tionna shot you in the warehouse ?” I nod to his question telling him to continue.
” You passed out. When we rush you to the hospital , the doctor said you can’t…..” He stops and look up at me. What’s up with that ?
” What ? The doctor says what ? You should say it , I mean what did he say ?”
” He said you can’t give birth ever again. The bullet affected your system and it’s damaged.” He sighs and prevent his eyes from meeting mine.
” What do you mean damaged ? I don’t understand. I can’t give birth , why ? I mean why are you telling me now ?” I ask ready to cry.
” I’m sorry , I was scared and also I went away and I can’t tell Jake to inform you when I was gone. Gold , just…”
” What do you mean just ? Why ?” I exhale and touch my forehead. I’m about to get dizzy.
” Wait , I haven’t seen my flow for two months ? What’s that supposed to mean ?” I said still touching my forehead.
” What do you mean you haven’t seen your flow for two months ?”
My visons went blur and I’m feeling unconscious.
” Gold you’re bleeding…” Mitchel shouted holding me to himself.
My breath is fading and my heart aching. I look down to my feet and I’m bleeding.
” Gold , look at me , open your eyes.” Jason whimpers tapping lightly on my cheek.
I gasp and tried to open my eyes , it wasn’t working. I wince in pain as my eyes covered . Everything was different , just darkness.
