Chapter 212: You Look Wrecked
Jax and Chad sat alone in the living room playing PS, while Mari was busy setting up her phone in her bedroom.
As they played Jax thought about Mari and the chaste kiss she had given him in the kitchen. He almost chuckled when he remembered what she said about preferring a deeper kiss.
If Chad hadn’t been there she’d definitely had gotten what she was looking for.
Now that she knew why he was keeping her under his roof and he was certain she wanted him, he didn’t feel so inclined to remain aloof.
Chad spoke, breaking into his thoughts. "I will be stepping out to meet with Venita after I win this game. She says she’s not coming anywhere close to you until Mari leaves and you apologize to Diva."
Jax snorted. "That’s never going to happen..."
"Which? Apologizing to Diva? Or Mari leaving?" Chad asked with a chuckle.
"You winning the game. Mari will leave when it’s time for her to leave, and we both know I’m not apologizing to Diva. Venita can stay away for as long as she likes..."
"Nah. Don’t say that. I will talk to her. I can’t have you both on bad terms over something like this. We’ll resolve it. By the way, Mari said her birthday is this weekend," Chad said, changing the subject.
"Yeah." Jax didn’t look at Chad, his attention was fixed on the screen.
"Isn’t she receiving a gift this year? Perhaps you can deliver the gift in person this year," Chad suggested.
Jax’s lips twitched. "I plan to do just that. Kindly stop encouraging her to mess with me."
