Stuck in you

Jack listened to what Lea had to say.

The more she spoke, the more ridiculous she sounded. He couldn't help but sympathize with Henry.

With firm resolution, Lea said, "You can leave. I'll stay with Rachel tonight."

"We'll bring Rita here as well. The three of us can comfortably sleep here. I guess you won't mind sleeping in the children's room tonight, Jack," Rachel said.

'Children's room?' he thought furiously.

"No," he said, unwilling to let this happen.

The two ladies looked at Jack with a grave expression. In unison, they demanded, "Why not?"

He didn't give a reply. Instead, he pulled Rachel from the bed and brought her close to his body. Soon, she was cocooned in her strong arms. "She wants to sleep with me tonight," he answered looking straight into Lea's eyes.

His voice was brimming with possessiveness.

For a second, Lea was confounded. And then she let out a laugh and said, "I want to hear this from Rachel. Does she want to sleep with you? It doesn't look like it." Her tone was challenging.

Rachel had told her they had an argument. This was what made her sound so confident.

But it turned out the victory wasn't hers after all.

Instead of answering Lea's question, Rachel looked at her and said, "Lea, how about you sleep in the children's room with Rita tonight? I think that would be more convenient."

"You!" Lea couldn't believe her ears. What a traitor!

Jack would have let Rita and her child to sleep with Rachel if it wasn't for her words. He realized Lea would manipulate Rachel. That was the sort of woman she was. Letting them alone wasn't a good idea.

He raised his hand and looked at his watch. "It's still early. If you don't mind, I would book you a hotel room."

Lea refused his offer and saying, "Never mind. I would rather save money! It's so expensive these days." Before leaving, Lea passed Rachel an incredulous look and said, "Rachel, it looks like you are living a happier life than before!"

Once she left, Jack said, "I will be back soon. But don't wait for me. Go ahead and sleep." Rachel didn't know what to say so she nodded her head. Moreover, she was quite sleepy so she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. When she woke up, she noticed that the sunlight had crept through the curtain, intruding her peaceful sleep.

She turned her head slowly and looked around for Jack. His side of the bed was empty, just as she had expected. His anger hadn't cooled off. It turned out she would have to work a little harder to appease him. He was sleeping on the couch.

Rachel got out of the bed, went close to him and stared at his handsome face.

Even though he was asleep, there were lines of frown on his face.
