My Billionaire Husband

"How long do you think it'll take until they discharge me?" she asked Maddie as he pushed her wheelchair.

"We should ask the doctor." He replied smoothly lapsing back into silence.

They'd been in silence ever since they left the room and it was beginning to get a bit awkward.

"Are you mad?" She asked him slowly wishing she could see his expression at least. He took a bit longer than necessary then replied,

"Why would I be?" There was a tinge of sarcasm in his voice but she chose to ignore it. If he wanted to remain silent she could play that game too.

Five minutes later, she regretted ever having asked him to accompany her for some fresh air. Even though it was an escape from an awkward topic of conversation.

"You can just leave," she said but Maddie never response.

He had chosen to sit beside her but slightly behind her, so to make conversation she had to turn in her pretty uncomfortable seat.

He looked at her incredulously, "excuse me?"

She sighed debating how much further she had to explain herself further.

"Come on. I'm sure you can feel the awkwardness. We don't enjoy each other's company so just go. I'll call Jayden to come to keep me company." she said quickly.

"Are you chasing me away because of your lover boy?" his voice was deathly quiet heavily laced with fury.

"What the f.u.c.k are you talking abo-"

Before she could even finish what she was saying he stood and stormed off! Jiaye just sat there looking at her husband left, shocked wondering what the heck had just happened. What was he even talking about? Then it hit her. Jayden. He thought Jayden was her lover boy. She burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Jayden said over her shoulder humor laced in his voice ready to laugh at her story when she shared with him what had happened earlier. She jumped a little shocked that he was even there then turned to look at him and laughed even harder. Which only made her sides hurt so she had to stop for a bit.

" Calm down before you reopen your stitches. I just talked to the doctor and you should be discharged in less than a week. You need to go to rehab and learn how to walk again." He told her plopping down to sit in front of her so that they were face to face with each other.

"Really!" her face immediately lit up at this news. She was beginning to get a bit claustrophobic.

"Yep." He said popping. "Now, tell me. Without laughing," he added and gave her a stern look, "what was making you laugh so hard!"

She struggled to stop from bursting up in fits of laughter again. It took her a while though she started to tell Jayden again what had Maddie thought about them.

"Don't make me tell you now because I can't hold my laughter seeing Maddie's angry face," She said in between chuckles that managed to escape, "it's not funny. Maybe I'll text it to you later."

"Which reminds me," his expression had suddenly got serious, "what was that text all about? The one you sent from my phone to yours?" Jayden asks in confusion.

"Hey, you snooped!!" She shouted without thought immediately snapping out of her happy daze.

"Excuse me! It's my phone. I have my rights. I was going to stumble upon something on my phone. Anyway, what's that about?"

She fiddled with her thumbs a bit biting her bottom lip trying to figure out whether or not I'd tell him the truth.

"Well..."

He looked at her patiently not pushing her, letting her take time to answer.

"I had a dream, it felt so real I just thought I'd note it down. Maybe it would help me remember something that happened..." She trailed off awkwardly.

He looked at her concerned for a moment then sighed a bit,

"Don't push yourself too hard. Okay?" he smiled at her softly, his expression suddenly changing then he leaned back looking at the sky and his expression was immediately back to normal.

"Have your parents agreed to you being..."She looked around and saw no one watching.

" you know... " She jerked off an imagined d.i.c.k and showed him a thumbs up.

He rolled his eyes at her drama, "as extra as ever I see. Good to see the accident didn't take that." he shifted his legs crossing them.

"They haven't. I've had to hold in my urges. At least until I've been handed the reins of the company." He explained softly to her.

She nodded softly just imagining how frustrating it was for her.

"Any cute guys you met?" She asked him wagging her eyebrows suggestively.

His eyes lit up as he scooted a bit closer to me,

"There's a redhead I met -"

A nurse came by interrupting Jayden as he spoke.

"Miss, it's time for you to go back to your room."

"What?! Why? I just got here!" Jiaye w.h.i.n.ed looking at her waiting for her explanation.

"The doctor has arrived and he's doing his daily rounds. You should be in my room." She frowned not liking the idea of having to go back to her room.

She turned to look at Jayden pitifully hoping he'd do something.

"Fine, I'll bring her up myself in a few minutes," Jayden said.

"But sir, I'm supposed to take her-"

"I said, I'll bring her back myself." His voice had a note of finality that would be hard to argue with. She stood there a bit longer fiddling with her fingers then meekly agreed and left them.

"Damn your good!" She turned to look at Jayden and was so impressed.

"Yes well, it's expected of me."

"Impressive." Jiaye praised him.

She struggled to stretch out and pat his head then she sat back softly.

He chuckled a bit, "Where did your husband go to though?"

She'd managed to calm down enough to tell him with a straight face,

"He's under the impression that you and I are lovers." so expect him to be different to you in the next few days.

This time it was Jayden's turn to burst out laughing.

She chuckled a bit at the incredulity of the whole situation.

"Shit man," tears came to his eyes as he doubled over laughing.

He slowly stood up on shaky legs.

"Lemme take you back to your room before I pissed my pants."
