Cold Showers — Chapter 33

The next day.......

As soon as Jayda finished saying her morning prayers, She reached for her phone which was ringing. She smiled when she saw from the caller ID that it was her mom.

"Morning Mom."

"Good morning my love, You promised to return my call yesterday but you didn't."

Jayda facepalmed. "I'm sorry mom, I got carried away with other things."

"I hope you aren't overworking yourself?" Grace asked, concern evident in her voice. She has been like a mother hen since the day Jayda confirmed her thoughts that she was indeed pregnant.

"No Mom, I'm not. Your grandchild and I come first in everything I do."

"Good to hear, my dear. I'm on my way to see a friend and from there we will go do some shopping. You Dad and I will be leaving for Italy tomorrow morning."

"Okay," Jayda said, wondering what her parents had to do in Italy.

"One of his close friends' Son is getting married so we were invited."

"Cool, I won't tell you to have fun because I know you and Dad will enjoy yourselves to the fullest."

"Sure, we would. So, any news from Sebastian?" Grace asked, which made Jayda groan.

"Mom, your friend must be waiting for you. We will talk about Sebastian when you come back from Italy. You're going just for the wedding right?"

"I forgot how stubborn my daughter could be and how good she was at changing subjects. Well, we won't be leaving immediately after the wedding. We will stay back for a few days. Don't worry, I'll call you from time to time and send you pictures"

Jayda rolled her eyes, She had more pictures of her parents from various trips and events they've attended than pictures of herself on her phone.

"Take care of yourself and I'm hoping you would have settled with Sebastian by the time I'm back. I love you, dear."

Jayda smiled, "I love you too mom, Bye."

Jayda was almost placing her phone on the nightstand when another call came in. She thought it was her mom who was calling back so she picked up the call without even looking at the caller ID.

"Yes, Mom." She answered, sitting up on her bed.

"Jayda, it's me." She heard a familiar voice say from the other side. Jay went still trying to figure out how he got her number but then she realized he was a billionaire and he had his ways.

"Please, don't cut the call, please hear me out for just a minute." Sebastian pleaded. "I'm sorry Jayda, I'm deeply sorry for everything. I've been nothing but a jackass to you and I regret my actions. I really need to see you so I can apologize in person and explain why I acted the way I did."

"Everything about you made me see life in another perspective but I was so stubborn and stupid not to accept the fact that you were different from the other women I've been with."

"I now understand what people mean when they say you don't know the value of something until you've lost it."

"I want to make amends, I want to be in your life and our baby's life Jayda. Please give me the opportunity to make it up to the two of you."

Jayda could hear the plea and nervousness in his voice. She could picture him looking slightly frustrated and guilty.

She didn't know what reply to give him so she ended the call as soon as his one minute was over.
