Enemies with Benefits

chapter 32

Jade

Claire and I settled to watch her favorite movie on a rainy Saturday morning, I made popcorn and bought a lot of snacks.

Claire was on the floor colouring while the movie loaded, and God forbid if WD watched anything other than Allahdin. I think I knew all the lines by heart. I could probably recite them with out even looking at the TV.

The doorbell rang and i rolled my eyes, heaving myself off the couch i fixed my shorts and tank top and swung open the door.

"Delivery for Jade Summers" a man said as he held a clipboard and a bag was at his feet. He thrust the clipboard into my hands and I scrawled my messy handwriting while he began offloading the items from the bag. After signing I took the boxes into the living room and began unwrapping them, the shiny paper obviously caught my daughter's attention because she came up next to me and gave me a smile. 

"Presents mama, from who?" I opened the first box and it held a doll but just not any doll, a rare vintage Jasmin doll, Claire gasped and held it. "its for me mommy.'' she cradled the doll and smoothed down the hair. Who would send something like this. 

After opening everything, it was all for Claire except one box that was marked with my name. Claire had received, a doll, a teddy bear, a stuffed Olaf from Frozen, a diamond pair of diamond earrings as well as a matching diamond chain. 

Now I was confused as fuck, i instructed Claire to watch her movie while i went into the kitchen to open the last remaining box. I held my breath as i lifted the lid off the box, my heart was pounding in my chest, i looked back to see if Claire had followed me and breathed a sigh or relief as she gave the TV her undivided attention. 

Inside the box there was an envelope as well as a simple heart shaped diamond pendant and a phone. i ripped open the envelope and read. 

Dear Jade, 

Sorry I missed your Birthday,

ps, Hope Claire likes her presents, I really didn't know what to get her.

Now i was eve more confused, like what the fuck, i snatched the phone and switched it on, it hummed as it came to life and there was text message already waiting for me.

you're probably freaking out. Rocky

Great, someone who thought he was all that? i rolled my eyes and typed a response. 

who the fuck are you?

still got that dirty mouth? Rocky

wtf, who the fuck are you and better tell me before i call the cops on you.

calm down Summers, i am a cop. Rocky

how the hell do you know my last name?

i am a cop, i know these things. Rocky

like that supposed to make me feel better jackass.

dont be so paranoid. Rocky.

Of course i was fucking paranoid, some one was texting me and sending my kid presents. he did say he was cop. I searched through the box looking for anything else and then pushed it away feeling frustrated. there was nothing in there to help me figure out who was this idiot. The phone pinged again and i resisted the urge to scream. 

you there 

I'm here asshole. 

nice. 

fuck off.

make me.

For some strange reason this bantering thing really got me excited, it made me felt exactly how Tyler used to make me feel when we used to fight. i missed him so much. I put the phone away and tied my long hair up, i fiddled with my ring on the chain and clicked my tongue. who ever was this guy, i declared him the enemy.
