18 The meetup

Jillian was tidying up her things, preparing for the meet up, she can't decide what to wear, she's already in the bathroom for an hour now.

Nervous, she doesn't want to look tired in front of Jameson. Like a teenager preparing for the ball, Jillian decorated her face with make up.

She can't decide between the two dresses, a semi-formal one or a casual, a halter neckline and darts give the bodice a bodycon fit, while a slit back (with button closures) tops a triangle cutout. Flared skirt is amplified by a front box pleat. Hidden back zipper. The other one is Black jeans with ann dress.

Thinking for a while she decided to wear the casual one, wearing the semi-formal one is too much for this event, staring at herself in the mirror, her beats faster. She's gonna meet Jameson again, and she doesn't know what Jameson will say or gonna do.

They're relationship was a mess in the past, never had a real closure, now she's afraid of what's gonna happen when they meet.

Calming herself, she started to dress up, went out in their room and walked to the living room, she saw Angel watching a cooking show, her eyes were focused on the television so she didn't notice her mom.

She sat beside Angel "Sweetie, what are you watching?"

"Mommy!" Her eyes glittered, she hugged her mom and asked "where are you going mom?"

"I'm going out sweetie, remember what you wished?" Angel beamed.

Once again she hugs Jillian "Thank you mom"

A wide smile was on Jillian's face. As long as her child is happy, she will do anything for her. Jillian's love is immeasurable, a happy Angel is a happy Jillian. That's her motto in life.

She noticed while staring at Angel's face that she is pale, she placed her hand at her child's forehead to feel her temperature but the temperature is normal.

"Do you feel anything sweetie?" She asked.

Angel shakes her as she says no, Jillian is a little worried for her because she was sick a few days ago.

"What happened here?" Jillian's popped out of nowhere.

"Ma look at Angel, she's a bit pale" she pointed out.

"Hmm?" She immediately checks Angel.

"She's a bit pale but nothings wrong, maybe it was the heat. Go to the kitchen and drink water maybe later she will return normal"

Angel abidded her grandmother, she turned her head towards Jillian and checked her out from head to toe, her eyebrow arched upward.

"Why are you so well dressed today? Any event?" She asked.

Jillian's face flushed, she knew that her mother would teased her.

"I will meet him today ma," she said seriously.

"Is it necessary to prepare like that?"

"Ma, I'm serious"

Her mother shrugs "Hey, I'm just loosening you up, you are tense and nervous"

Amy, Jillian's mother smiled at Jillian "Goodluck Jill"

She hug her mother and said "Thank you Ma"

Jameson feels lazy today, he's not in the mood to move but he has an appointment today so he had no choice.

Staring at the ceiling, Jameson wonders about who he is gonna meet today, Joy said that he knows this somebody and about that Ryan's secretary, wondering if she will show up. He doesnt think that the secretary will show up for a mere handkerchief.

Jameson decided to stand up from his bed and prepare his food, living alone Jameson was used to it, cooking his own food. He only needs to call his on call maid to clean his abode every weekend.

Ever Since he left at his father's house, he found peace, one of his reasons to leave then that he can't take his father kept blabbering about this certain woman that he arranged a date with and it irritates him.

He had many other reasons to leave, Jameson set aside it in his mind and cooked his own food, although it's not as good as Jon's cooking, it was passable to taste. He didn't take it too fancy because there is no reason to.

His apartment was wide with two rooms, one is a guest room and one is his room, a kitchen, living room, and bath.

After he eats, he takes a bath, inside the bathroom, he keeps hearing his phone ringing from the room. After a few minutes, the ringing died down, Jameson was near finishing his bathing.

His phone ringin again, thinking who was calling him, maybe it was the company? What happened or someone?

He looked at the caller I.D, his eyes turned serious and he gritted his teeth.

"Hello, Reeya," he said coldly.

"Jameson" she said seductively with a suppressed moan.

Jameson's hair stands up, Reeya was doing it again, getting bolder and bolder everyday, and he can't take it. He hangs up the phone. Shaking his head, Jameson thinks about Reeya being a seductress is not good.

She calls again, this time Jameson was prepared.

"What do you want Reeya?"

"I want you Jamie," she said with a giggle.

"I'm serious Reeya!" He raised his voice.

"Relax, I want to go to your apartment Jamie," she stopped her teasing and told her objective.

Jameson just facepalmed, "No, I won't be in my place, I have an appointment"

"Still I want to go," she insisted.

"Even if you go, I won't let you," he said without emotion.

He hangs up and prepares.

***

Jillian arrived in the place they agreed to meet up, strangely the person who left a note on her desk wanted it in the same place.

This place was full of memories and this place was her special place not but also his.

She was quite nervous about this.

She went to the entrance, the park looked the same from her memory, it was the same sign, the same trees, the design was the same.

Her heart was beating fast, memories flooding her head, she remembered while walking, they always walk here. Her emotions flared up.

She found a seat and saw a distinguishable mark engraved on them. This is where she and Jameson sat, she closed her eyes and imagined the things they did in this place.

She hears the breeze of the wind and the brushing of the leaves, the smell of green grass keeps her calm. The first thing she remembered is in the space in front of her there was a tree, they lay down in there and talk about life.

This place brings her peace but also pain, that's why she didn't visit it for so many years and only forced to come here to meet that man again.

***

Jameson arrived at the park. He was an idiot to say at least, he doesn't know the number of the person he will meet, especially the secretary of Ryan.

Sighing at himself, he walks around and tries to find him or her, of course he was very familiar with this place. He visits it many times in a year.

He contacts the H.R in his company to ask Joy's number and asks her where her friend is. The response from Joy he got was a number, she said it was her friend's number.

***

Jillian's heart was beating so fast, Joy asked her where she was because Jameson was already in the park. She tells her that she will send her number.

She was restless and couldn't stop thinking about possibilities, her phone rang.

***

Jameson was near in the bench, when he saw a kindly familiar woman, he dialed the number and at the same time the woman's phone ring. He felt it was strange or a coincidence.

He was a few steps before the bench and the call was still ringing so was the woman's phone.

Her head tilts slightly and Jameson has a clear sight of her, his heart skipped.

***

Jillian doesn't know what to do, her phone kept ringing until she heard a call from behind that made her heart stop.

"Jillian?"
