What's Love?

Jay's POV

Why the hell our life has to be this tough, why it's always us on vulnerable side, and enduring the sufferings. "There's more to tell and nothing more to hide", Keifer said, I don't know if I should just trust him or not, once again we're standing across each other but still distance is intact, either it'll separate us for forever or maybe unite us for life this time.

My brain has given up thinking; all I know is our life is fucking hell. We're just lost in the game of great world of wealth and heirs, might be rich by money but love, that's missing. And him claiming to be my protector, "you let me suffer Keifer, and still defending yourself". He sighed, "I'm not defending, just letting you know. I want to clear things, before it gets out of the hand".

I smirked, "it's already, I mean what else is left in between us", he smiled, "if there's nothing, then why were you searching for me. And still holding on to me, rejecting others, taking care of my brothers, finding me and damn you literally traced me miles away". 

"Well rejecting others does not mean, I'm waiting for you. And about finding you, that's for your brothers, of course I'm not at all interested in handling your fucking Watson empire and I've my own life too, maybe which I've forget to live", my voice was cracking, I could understand his pain but, "why didn't even bothered to tell me, maybe conditions would have been better, but you yourself took the decision to abandon us, .

Keifer remained quiet for a moment then moved closer, "Jay, I can't, it's important to remain under the shadows to find the culprits, the one conspiring against me and the company. It'd have impossible if I was seen, but when I was hidden, I did that and now I'll expose them. Jay, maybe these two years were tough but soon we'll be together, though you're already my Mrs Watson but will become official as well", he didn't even take a break and said it so smoothly.

The way he held my hands, like ensuring me to buy the whole world, "it'll be us, like you're mine forever", he said. Damn the audacity of this man, still claiming me as I belong to him, "no Keifer, I'm not yours. Well, I'm not an object that you're going use as per your convenience, I'm a human with emotions. Alright, and you kind of compromised me for this all, I felt like a widow of yours".

I took a deep breath, "alright! let's just come to the point. You're fine right? so just let me go now, and handle your family and company, be the heir of Watson and just liberate me". He kissed my palms, "there's no King who can survive without his queen, like that I'm nothing without you. Just give me some time, and why are you saying your empire but it's ours Jay, I'm yours and you're mine".

He cupped my face, "like it's always, me and you. No third person can come and ruin things", I backed off, "what's the need of third person when you're enough to do that, and still labeling me with the tag 'mine', you really can't let go your ego. and you're explaining me just because I was someone else tonight, that fragile ego of yours was challenged, I'd have done this before". 

Keifer breathes out lightly, "it's not ego but my love Jay, for you only", I quirked a smile, "oh yes, 'love', do you even know the depth of this word, or it's just 'you're mine' bullshit, you hurt me to protect me, you abandon me for the good. Enough of your games, I'll disappear in a way no one can find, you'll never be able to see me".

He grabbed my arms, this time his hold was tight, "you're not going anywhere", he pointed at his inured forehead, "see this, Keigan, he hit me last night and my head struck to the wall, he said how come you let Ate Jay suffer like this", his grip more tight, 'he hit me because of you, that's what you're for him, and want to disappear?".

"You're hurting me Keifer", I gasped, and he loosened his grip over me, "I apologise Jay, I know you might e angry, for that just curse me, hit me to the core but don't say that you're not mine, and I do not belong to you. Cause at the end, it's you for me always", he sits on his knees, "maybe I fucked up things but Jay trust me, I saw you from afar, made sure you're safe, and sleeping at every night, just stopped myself from touching you, yk how much tough it's for me to not come closer to you".

He once again raised his hands, wrapping it around my waist, hiding his face in my embrace, "I'll sort out things", but I backed off, "that's the problem, everytime it's you who takes the lead to decide for us, and there's no me. is that love for you? is it?", he's still sitting in front of me like a guilty, "Keifer, it's a two-way thing, I need time and maybe you'd know the real meaning of love", I finally decided to leave and not to hear him anymore, maybe I need to accept this all.

Keifer's POV

She left, and I really don't have words now to explain what love is for me, maybe it's her, only her. Shit! I fucked up again, instead of talking silently I just kidnapped her and "mine", God! what should I do with this nature of mine. I was not planning to open up soon but that Ben, got on my nerves and did this, how come I'm supposed to win her again, to become the one she trusts. 

I'd run for my life, "Jay, stop please", I followed her, "let me drop you at the hotel", she pushed me, "I don't need it, just get out of my way". I pulled her, "enough, don't be so rigid Jay. Can't you see my love for you, my desperation and problems". She looked at me, straight into my eyes, "well... I would've loved to know just in case you've decided to not escape and confront me, we'd have fought together".

"Why is he calling me this time?", she said by looking at her phone, I peeked, "Ben? this leech", she stares at me, "yes! oh I had some work, so I'll reach at hotel soon. Bye!". Huh caring for her, "why is he so nosy? when you already rejected him, shameless jerk", she smirked, 'I rejected you as well, even cursed you, kicked you, still you're stuck to me".

I said without thinking, "cause I've feelings for you, I fucking love you", she stopped... stared and I saw a softness in her eyes, I moved closer, "that's true Jay", I hold her hands, "just give me some time, please", she kept looking in my eyes, I took my face closer, "forgive me, Jay". 

Our faces were inches apart, I can hear her heartbeat and to make her feel mine, I kept her near her hands near my heart and bent a bit to touch her lips with thumb of another hand, "they're so dry", and I pressed my lips against hers, closed my eyes and felt her.

Fuck, I was dying for it, maybe it's antidote to my every pain... God! I don't want this moment to get shatter, maybe I can just stop the time at this moment, or I can just escape with her, if it's her in the end, I'll bet my everything.

I pulled her closer, she consented and her hands stuck on my chest and my God knows how many times I died for this. Our lips moved in a sync, she stops suddenly, and I opened my eyes, and tried pushing me, and backed off. I didn't leave her hands, so she once again decided to kick me, the target, damn not any man would ever want. 

"Jay!", I groaned, "you're allowed to beat me, but be careful. It's about our future, if something happens then how're we suppose to make a baby? a cricket team we decided, watcher and caretaker being the leaders". Her stare was enough for me seal my lips, "stop your nonsense, you've a week, take over what's yours and I'll leave".

"Sure! I'm gonna take over everything which is mine, my empire by force and you with love. Mark Keifer Watson never lose... remember, you're not going anywhere, and I'll make it sure you won't shed a tear after we come together and this time, I mean it". 

It's really getting late, I want her to stay with me but knowing her she will kill me for saying this, and a cab appeared, "Go back to your new family, your daughter might be waiting", and she left. I kept staring at the cab, pulled my hairs, "not this time, I'll not make any blunder". 

I get back to home, and approached my room, "where were you?", it's Diana, and I looked at her, "reporting you eveything was not in our deal, its already fucked up... please don't make it worse". She smirked, "well... Ivy slept while waiting for you". 

I was frustrated, "she's not my daughter, I think that kid needs to know this all". She squeezed her eyes, "what? she's just one, and needs a father", I cut her off, "find her real one, I'm not responsible for it, already it's a chaos". I don't know what I said, but I don't have any grudge against that kid but my Jay, it's just I can't let her go. 

Diana held my hands, "You owe me, Watson", I sneered, "so that doesn't mean I'm gonna stay with you forever, it's not like I don't like Ivy, I really love her but Diana I've my own life, my own family and girlfriend. After all our deal was till, you get your inheritance and now it's done. I'm not obliged to stay here anymore". 

She takes a deep breath, "okay! but don't hurt my baby.", I assured her, "of course not, I'll always treat her well and treat her like mine whenever I'll meet her, and I'll take her with me for paternity test". I left for my room, and started collecting all the documents, "I need to pace up the things, your game is over Mr Kaizer Watson, you killed my mother and trust me you'll himself accept this". 

I looked at the video clips, "it took me years to find this cop who called my mother's murder an accident, fine everyone will get back their Karma". and then the footages, my own grand uncle discussing with Kaizer that how to get rid of me and get Keigan's custody. And few more proofs, but the last one which Smith has found, "the deal between my pilot, my fucking pilot who himself choose to die to kill me". 

I don't even feel sorry for myself anymore, but kind of humor, my own father who once killed my mother for wealth and now me, even second son, if it's not Jay and Mr Ryder, I don't know what could've happened to my brothers and the company. It's time to go to London back, and claim what's mine.

I texted Jay if she's reached but I know she won't reply so I already installed a tracker, I opened up her picture, "don't worry, the distance between us is becoming blur, soon it'll us", and I slept while looking at her. 

Jay's POV

He kissed me, and I let him like this. Fuck, I couldn't stop myself from getting close to him, but I've to, I touched my lips, "that soft touch, it feels the same", I closed my eyes and threw my head at the back, "I need to stay strong and also convince Keigan and Keiran to go back to their Kuya, and my duty is over". 

As soon as I reached hotel, there's a text from unknown if I've reached, it must be him, I ignored it and find Aries sleeping by sitting on sofa in my room, I closed the door without making a sound and took a shower. My brain was on flight mode, his words were echoing in my head, the way he suffered. 

And he's about to get out of this, that little kid who think of him as her father or maybe he's just making up stories but also agreed for paternity test, I sighed, why it's too complicated. It's better I'll just leave silently.
