Love Torn Read Free

dropped his paperwork on the floor.  She bent down and helped to pick them up .   As she looked sideways, she saw Marcia had attached herself to Jason.  Damn, now what were they going to do?
    Jackie pretended to be interested in what the man, she had helped, was saying to her, and walked towards the doors with him and his colleagues.   At least she was managing to exit the function room without Marcia following her.  If, her need for Jason weren’t so intense and urgent, then she would have found it amusing, that he couldn’t escape from Marcia.
    She made it out to the car park and nervously walked towards Jason’s car.  Am I too obvious? She asked herself.  Footsteps behind her made her jump, but she was pleased to see it was Jason.
    “How did you escape?” She asked open mouthed.
    “Her sister arrived to take her to dinner!”  H e grinned and turned his face heavenward, “Thank you!”
    He ran to the car, “Come on, let’s get out of here.”  He called back to her.
    Giggling, Jack ie climbed into the car; she felt heady from the excitement.  Jason watched at her as she fastened her seat belt.  She could see that he was just as excited and was straining to break free from his trousers already.
    Jason put the car into reverse and then joined the queue of other vehicles waiting to exit.  Jackie could see that he was trying to concentrate on something other than her.  She had no idea where they were going.  They turned left towards the city as they exited the car park and then drove for about half a mile before Jason turned abruptly into the small car park of an edge-of-town convenience store.
    “Wait here; I’ll just be a second.”  He called to her as he slammed the door and ran off into the store.
    While she waited for him to return, she played with the radio.   She found something she liked and sat back to listen and wait.  Jason was taking his time in the store , and she started to fidget, but what could she do? She started to flick through the radio stations, but none could keep her interest.  What she wanted was still in the store.
    He then suddenly appeared through the automatic doors carrying two shopping bags in each hand.  She looked at him quizzically.  He placed his purchases in the boot and then climbed back into the driver’s seat.
    “Provisions!” He exclaimed by way of an explanation.  “Oh and somebody needs a toothbrush if I am not mistaken.”  He gave her that grin again, that made her insides turn to jelly.   Jackie laughed but still blushed slightly at the insinuation.   She shook her head.  Wasn’t it obvious where this was heading?  Were they no t going back to his place?  So, why was she blushing, when it was what she wanted?
    “What did you get?”
    “Apart from the toothbrush, you mean?”
    She giggled again.  “Yes, apart from the toothbrush.”
    “I told you; provisions.  I expect we will be pretty hungry.”  He glanced sideways at her and her breath caught in her throat.  “I got some wine , and I thought I’d cook you something.”
    “You can cook?”
    “Hey cheeky!”
    She laughed, “I’m sorry.  I don’t know many men that can cook.”
    He smiled back at her.  “I know what you mean.  My dad couldn’t cook and didn’t have time either.  My m um had five kids to deal with, so I asked her to teach me.   I think she was grateful for the help around the house to be honest.”
    Jackie knew very little about Jason outside of the office and was intrigued.  “Five kids – that’s a lot!”
    “Yeah.  I’m the eldest.  I have three sisters; Amy, Louise and Jennifer , and then Luke is the youngest.  He’s their only natural child.  In fact, he was a bit of a surprise.  In twenty years of marriage, they’d had no luck.  Then, along came Luke.” He grinned at her.  It was clear how much he loved his family.
    “Then, you and your sisters are adopted?”
    “Yeah.”
    “Oh.”  She paused.  “I don’t know what to say
