I don't love you

Jeff's POV
"Oh my God, what have I done?" I said to myself as I hurried down the stairs, and straight to the living room. I thought of staying there but I couldn't. Staying in the same space with Belle isn't the best idea right now. I need to get away from here and clear my head. I grabbed my car keys then, and dashed out into the dark.
"Sh*t! How could you Jeff?" I yelled as I slammed hard on the steering wheel. I just couldn't get over what I did and how Belle must be feeling. I know she likes me but what happened to being a safe friend who wouldn't try to take advantag…
My phone rang just then, and it was Jessica calling. I'd called in the morning to check up on her but she wasn't answering, she probably finally got time to return my call, but I'm too embarrassed to even talk to her.
The phone rang a second time and I just had to answer it.
"Heyyy dad…" Jessica's voice sounded excited over the phone. She seemed better than the last time we talked a few days back.
"My beautiful muse! It's so good to hear your voice tonight, and you sound so happy. Should I take that as a good sign? Is Nick recovering well?" I asked, while trying to put up a front. She would be so disappointed if she knew.
"Ohh yess dad, I am happy. And you're right, Nick is doing well, nothing much and still not talking, just a few movements on the fingers but that's huge improvement. The doctors said we should expect more after his surgery next week." Jessica explained happily while a smile flushed down my face.
"That's good, it's good to hear you smile again. I love that." I replied.
"Yeah dad, so how are you doing? How's Belle too? I tried calling her before you and she was answering. Hope she's alright?" She asked while I coughed nervously.
"I'm not at home presently, but I'm sure she's fine. She's probably busy with something." I managed to answer.
"Okay, my regards to her then, later dad, love you." Jessica said.
"I love you more." I said and hung up.
Letting out a frustrated sigh, I started the car and drove off. At first, the plan was to just drive around town and cool off but after a while of driving, I headed to the club. Maybe seeing the people enjoying and having a nice time would help me forged my worries, even if it's just for the night.
I pulled in front of the club and as always, everywhere was bubbling. JP, one of my trusted guys at the club spotted me immediately and hurtied towards me. He took my keys and threw it to the valet.
"Uhmmm… I don't think I'd be staying long. Just park it somewhere really close." I said to JP, who then passed the information to the valet.
"You didn't say you were coming boss," JP retorted.
"I didn't know I would. Can you get me something light to drink?" I said to him while he immediately vanished to the bar. I went straight into my office and sat on the couch, with my head bent over, thinking. It wasn't up to a minute when I heard a gentle voice mutter something in it ear.
"Hey baby, what's wrong?" I immediately raised my head and saw Tonya crouched and beaming with smiles. She's a nice girl and all but not exactly what I need right now.
"I'm okay Tonya, what are you doing here?" I quizzed with a straight face to avoid giving her any false ideas.
"I saw JP bringing in the drinks and I offered to help. Don't tell me you're still mad about the other night?" She said as she took the wine and made to pour me a glass. Once I saw the two glasses, I quickly took the wine from her.
"Look Tonya, I'm not angry about that night, I never was but right now, I just need to be alone. I have a lot on my mind and I need a clear head to cool off." I said gently.
"Thanks for the wine." I quickly added when I saw the look on her face change. Despite my politeness, Tonya reacted just as expected, she wasn't a bit bothered. Instead of leaving, she opened her legs wider so I could feed my eyes. She then zipped down her corset, revealing even more b*obs.
"Tonya, I mean it, I need to be alone." I said firmly this time and she seemed upset.
"What exactly is the problem? Me? Don't you find me attractive at all? Most guys would die to have me and you reject me every time I move close to you? I know you don't have a woman in your life so what exactly is the problem." Tonya fired angrily. I thought of replying her initially, at least to console and give her closure, but the Tonya I know wouldn't understand once I'm not granting her wish. She would just keep stressing and stretching the issue, and honestly, I can't deal with that right now. I want peace, I need space.
"Good night Tonya" I said as I stood up and made for the door. I was surprised she didn't try to stop me but with the look on her face, it definitely isn't the end of this conversation. If only she'd just understand that I would never date her, she's a beautiful lady with a killer body but I don't love her. I probably would never.
It was almost midnight and I decided to go home and rest. Just as I climbed the stairs into my room, I got a reminder from my assistant. I had totally forgotten about my meeting tomorrow. It was such a welcome development, I would be gone for some days and it would help really clear my head. Also, Belle needs a timeout away from me. Our time together seem to be clouding our feelings
I let out another sigh as I opened the door and saw Belle was no longer there. I jumped on the bed and slept off right away.
