Is this destiny?

JoAnna woke up in the morning and found herself alone in the bed. It took her few seconds to realize where she is. She checked under the cover and observed that she is not wearing anything. She smiled.

On the pillow next to her was a large bouquet of red roses and a note.

" Good morning, beautiful!

Take your time... I'm in the study room, across the hall.

~Jeff "

Goofy smile spread across her face. JoAnna can't remember if she was ever this happy.

She stretched lazily in the large bed that carried scent of the man she loves mixed in with hers. As she closed her eyes, images of previous night flashed in her mind and she blushed. It was such a raw experience, only lust and giving into satisfying carnal desires without any constraints. For someone like JoAnna, who always calculates every move, last night's experience was an eye opener.

After she took a shower, she walked out to the study, and found Jeff sitting in front of the PC talking on the phone. 'Oh... my... God! He wears glasses! Super handsome mode!' Black thin rectangle frames made him look so enchanting that JoAnna forgot to breathe. She leaned on the edge of the door and stared at him until he finished his call.

Jeff looked up to her and smiled. JoAnna was not aware how she lost sense of time, but at the next moment she was aware of, he was holding her chin and leaning in to kiss her. When their lips connected, JoAnna was sure that her brain melted.

"I have a bit more work that I must take care of... I can join you in five minutes." She heard him say through her haze. JoAnna nodded and her legs moved outside of the study room. She stood in the hallway and rubbed her temples. 'What on earth was that? I need to get myself together... this is very dangerous.'

She went to the kitchen and looked in the freezer for the ice cream. Of course, there was ten different chocolate chip ice creams. She took a mental note that next time she needs to add more details, otherwise that Steve person gets everything applicable. JoAnna took half a pint of her favorite brand chocolate chip ice cream before sitting on the sofa in the living room and looking for a channel to watch on TV. She found a crime serial of a reasonable quality and opened the ice cream.

A hand came from behind snatching the ice cream away.

JoAnna pouted as her eyes sorrowfully followed the ice cream while it moved away from her.

"You can't eat this for breakfast.", Jeff scolded her.

She looked up at him and saw that his glasses were not on. Thinking about this, she felt relieved. He is very handsome without glasses, but with glasses on, he was absolutely blinding and made her brain short-circuit.

"But..." She started protesting about the ice cream, and he raised a finger to stop her from talking before pointing to the dining room.

She craned her neck and saw that there was something set up on the dining table. JoAnna could guess that it's probably something more nutritious than ice cream.

When JoAnna got into the dining room, she confirmed her guess. It was a full European style breakfast with various pastries, cheese, fruits, juice and coffee.

JoAnna was impressed. "Did you eat?"

He shook his head. "I was waiting for you."

Hearing him say that, JoAnna felt swelling of emotions in her chest. No matter what he did or said, and even if he just stood there breathing, she thought that her heart can't take much more of stimulation, and she might faint on the spot. Her heart rate was increased, and hands were trembling.

No matter how she looked at Jeff, he was truly too handsome. Previous night she had a chance to see his body, and now she could not help herself having flashbacks every time she glanced at him. It was very distracting.

JoAnna quickly finished breakfast not looking at him directly as they spoke. His phone was ringing most of the time, and even after he switched it to silent mode, she could still see the screen lit up.

She felt guilty that he is needed but she is monopolizing his time.

"You can go back to work, I will keep myself busy, don't worry about me." JoAnna stood up and dashed to the bedroom.

Jeff watched JoAnna run away and shook his head helplessly. He observed her while she sat across the table and he could see that she is flustered and is avoiding to look at him. He watched his hand and saw that his fingers are trembling before clenching a fist. Jeff was very nervous around JoAnna, but he was much better in hiding his raging emotions behind a calm appearance. During breakfast, he imagined grabbing JoAnna and having his way with her right there on the dining table. His mind was switching between images of her on the dining table, begging for more, and scenes from previous night. Jeff took a deep breath and looked down at the swelling in his crotch area. It was difficult to focus on anything else.

Jeff wanted to go after JoAnna but reminded himself that maybe she needs some time to process things. 'It must be a big change for her, coming here… being with me… I need to give her space.' He told himself that she knows where he is, she can come to him anytime. And he will give her one hour before he looks for her. One hour. He should be able to keep himself busy for that one hour… he struggled to get his mind back to work.

In the bedroom, JoAnna analyzed herself. 'It is one thing to think about him, but this kind of physical reaction is something I need to get a grip on.' She was not sure where to start. She reminded herself of a teenager who is completely swept away by latest crush unable of rational thinking. 'This is ridiculous. I'm a grown up.' JoAnna thought how this reminded her of Sarah when she started dating Aiden. JoAnna got her phone with intention to call Sarah and ask her how did she get over such a phase but hesitated when she remembered how Sarah does not approve of her relationship with Jeff. However, they are still sisters, and unless she talks to Sarah, nothing will change.. JoAnna thought for a minute about what to say to Sarah, and then called her.
