Cold Showers — Chapter 37

As soon as Caleb got to his car, he reached for his phone and dialled Sebastian. He put his phone on loud speaker and started the car.

"Dude, guess who I just saw?"

"How do you expect me to know." Sebastian groaned from the other side.

"I just saw and spoke to Jayda."

"Are you for real? Where did you guys meet?" Sebastian asked.

"I'm just leaving Saunders and Co. I came to see the senior associate. I saw Olivia and just in time, Jayda was passing by so I got the opportunity to talk to her."

"What a good friend you are! You had an appointment in that firm and you could not invite me"

"But you told me you were going to be busy today." Caleb chuckled.

"I'm not busy whenever it comes to anything that has to do with Jayda," Seb said.

"Okay, Sorry Bro. Next time." Caleb smiled. Sebastian rolled his eyes on the other side.

"You never told me she was this beautiful and Sexy..." Caleb exclaimed.

"She's mine dude, stick to your girlfriend," Seb replied possessively.

Caleb smiled, "Damn, She definitely has you wrapped around her fingers."

"So what did you guys talk about?" Sebastian asked, interested.

"I introduced myself as your best friend. I also apologized on your behalf and assured her you've changed. I could see the eagerness in her eyes about her wanting to give you a chance."

Sebastian heaved a sigh, "I hope so."

"So I guess Olivia doesn't know about Jayda and the baby," he asked.

"No, she doesn't. Only mom and Dad are aware. I have to get back to work Caleb, we will talk later."

"Okay, bro." Caleb ended the call.

.........

Sebastian stayed back an extra one hour at the office to complete his task for the day. At a few minutes past 8 pm, he was done with everything he had to do.

Seb was sorting the documents on his desk, to see the ones he will take home to continue working on and the ones he will leave in the office when his phone rang.

He let out a silent groan because he knew it was Olivia who had called again. He promised to give her a call in twenty minutes. It wasn't even up to twenty minutes and his younger sister had called again.

Without looking at the caller ID, he picked up the call.

"Olivia, I told you I was going to call you back in twenty minutes. It's barely nine minutes since you last called."

"It's not Olivia, It's me, Jayda. I'll call back if you're busy." That sweet familiar voice said.

Sebastian's heartbeat increased, finding it hard to believe he was on the phone with Jayda. Heaven knows he had been dying for this day to come.

"No, no... You can, Sorry I mean, I thought it was Olivia, my sister that was calling," he explained.

"No need to cut the call Jayda, I'm all ears." Sebastian rose to his feet and nervously scratched the back of his head. He silently heaved a sigh of relief, Jayda called him which must be a good thing right?

"Sorry I didn't reach out to you earlier, I wanted to be rest assured that you were a changed person. I got all your gifts and I read every text message you sent. Thank you."

"No need to mention. You deserve more than that and I'm sorry for the way I acted, what I said to you and how I behaved towards you starting from the morning after the night our baby was conceived." Sebastian said sincerely, hoping Jayda would feel that he really wanted to be in her life, he wanted to experience everything concerning the pregnancy. He wanted to be there for her and their child. "How have you been?" He asked her.

"Good." She replied.

"And the baby?" He whispered shyly.

"The baby is fine too."

"I know this is impromptu but I wanted to ask if you are free tomorrow."

"Sure, Yes... Definitely!" Sebastian replied immediately. He didn't care that he had meetings scheduled for tomorrow. Three meetings in the morning and one in the afternoon.

"Okay. I have a Doctor's appointment tomorrow morning by 9:25. You are free to come if you want to."

Sebastian had the best smile on his face. "Sure, I would love to. I will be there." He tried to hide his excitement but failed woefully. Jayda could tell he was very happy that she extended the invite to him.

"Okay, I'll text you the address. We will see tomorrow."

"Jayda!!" He said before she ended the call. "Thanks for calling. You have no idea how much I've longed for this day. I promise to make it up to you and our baby."

"We will be counting on that." Jayda smiled. "I will see you tomorrow, Goodnight."

"Goodnight, sweet dreams," Sebastian replied.

"See, it wasn't that bad." Lilian smiled. She was listening to their conversation. Well, she wasn't able to hear from Sebastian's side but she listened attentively to all that Jayda said and from the smile on Jayda's face, she could tell everything went well.

Jayda tucked a few strands of hair behind her ear. "He said he will be at the appointment tomorrow. My little peanut and I will have a shoulder to lean on."

Lilian connected her hands with Jayda's own. "Be open to Sebastian and as he had requested, give him the opportunity to make it up to you. Perhaps you guys are destined to be together because how everything happened is just so crazy. I'm happy that that arrogant cousin of mine finally met his match." Lily said which made Jayda blush.

"So we are now Sisters. Not just by words, but by blood. Though I was hoping it was going to be you and Gabriel, but that brother of mine is just so weird."

Jayda laughed out loud. "You know Gabriel sees me as his sister and nothing more."

"Yeah, besides I don't think he's ready to stop being a playboy. But he met a girl on Uncle Albert's birthday and they've been together for a while now which is a good thing. Hopefully, their relationship will last."

"I hope so too. Everyone deserves to be happy. Like you always say, life is too short." Jayda replied.

Suddenly, Lilian's phone buzzed, she had an incoming call. "Finally, the call I've been expecting." She said excitedly as she stood up from Jayda's bed.

"My regards to him. Let him know I miss him more than you do." Jayda said which earned a smile from Lilian.

She blew Jay a kiss before exiting her room to answer her boyfriend's call.

Roman, Lilian's boyfriend was a Medical Doctor. He has been away for almost eight weeks now. He was on a two months assignment in Australia.
