Accidentally Married

Jessica turned her head to the window by her side looking out the busy road while she felt an uncomfortable cough coming on. Yes she told Xavier to stop staring and then she began hers but that did not mean he had to put her on the spot like that.

“Are you okay?” Genevieve asked when the cough did not seem to go down. “I have an unopened bottled water in my bag” she added digging into it and merging with a bottle that she thrust to her.

“Thank you,” Jessica said opening the bottle and taking a big gulp out of it.

“I want some water too,” Xavier said and Jessica immediately whipped her head to face him. “Water,” he said stretching his hands towards her.

She gave him the bottle of water and somehow he ensured to make a long but quick body contact with her before snatching the bottle from his hands. There was a sly expression on his face and she knew he was teasing her but why was he doing so with Genevieve right behind them?

“Let us listen to some news” Genevieve suggested from behind when try car fell too silent for too long.

She was not in between them but she felt the tension so bad she wanted it to come to an end. Why did she agree to ride in the car with people who just professed their love for each other? She was sure all they wanted to do was rip off their clothes from each other and have a go at it right there in the car.

She did not miss the flirtatious looks and the uncomfortable glares, the smirks and the sly looks that went on between both of them.

“Sure,” Jessica said her hand fumbling with the radio. She did not know how to use the radio so she had not yet been able to switch it on.

“Here I got it,” Xavier said placing his hands over her hands before going on to switch it on. She cleared her throat once again.

“Can you increase the volume?” she asked dropping her hands on her lap. Xavier nodded and did so. The remaining ride to the hospital was filled with the intense edited voice of the news anchor and frequent advertisements.

As he pulled up to the parking lot of the hospital and clicked the door open for them Jessica flew out with the first chance she could get. Once she stood outside she started trying to use her hand as a fan to stop her red flustered face.

“Are you okay?” Genevieve asked as she stepped out.

“Yeah I am, the air conditioner air was too stifling for me,” she said as she held on to the arm of the woman.

“We will go ahead while you park the car,” Jessica said to Xavier who had rolled down the window. He nodded because he had no choice but to park the car. He watched as Jessica helped Genevieve walk towards the elevator.

Just as Jessica stepped out of the elevator while holding on to the hands of Genevieve she met Dawson sitting in his wheelchair while waiting. a huge ass smile appeared on his face when his eyes fell on both of them.

“What are you doing out here?” Jessica asked rushing to him. Genevieve Was left all by herself. It was not as if she could not walk by herself but Jessica did it just because.

“Waiting for you” Dawson replied. His expression showed and he could not hide the joy that was radiating within him.

“I never told you I was coming today,” she said trying to chastise him for waiting outside.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Although the waiting room of the VIP lounge was not as busy as the normal floors there were still some people going around. Why did the Chairman of Braxton Industries have to sit out there?

“I waited because I knew you would check on me before you head out to the restaurant but I did not expect to see you bring Genevieve I thought you would come with Xavier”

“Three of us came together,” Jessica said choosing to ignore the disappointment in his voice when he spoke about Genevieve and the subtle excitement when he spoke about her and Xavier.

She knew that Roselle had very well delivered the message she somehow heard this morning.

“Oh,” he drew out while wiggling his eyebrows.

Jessica laughed in amusement at the old man. “Let us go inside,” she said turning the wheelchair towards try direction of the room. Genevieve followed behind so quietly.

“Why did you go outside?” Jessica murmured as she got a thick blanket to place over his legs.

“Some good happened today Genevieve,” Dawson said which caused Genevieve to be shocked. Dawson was never hostile to her but he mainly avoided her. She understood because she would not know if she might have been able to behave as mature as him if reversed were the case.

“Me?” she asked placing her hands on her chest. Her eyes were wide in shock.

“You don’t know about it yet?” Dawson asked rolling his eyes. “Don’t you worry, I will tell you about it soon enough” Genevieve nodded because she didn’t know what to reply with.

The door opened and Xavier walked in. His eyes immediately fell on Jessica and he winked at her. Dawson watched him closely and then cleared his throat.

“Xavier I am so glad you are here now,” Dawson said.

“You are glad I am here?” Xavier asked. “I thought to liked to see Jessica more than you liked to see me?” he asked.

“I am always happy to see you, seeing you gives me great joy but seeing you today gives me even greater joy”

Xavier tried to wrap his mind around what his grandfather was driving out but he could not. He glanced at Jessica hoping her expression might give something away but her face was blank.

“I heard the news,” Dawson said when nobody said anything again.

“What news?” Xavier asked.

“About you and Jessica”
