—JENNIFER—He looked pissed and the way his eyes were piercing mine, I can get the idea that I was definitely in trouble. Because he can get annoyed at me even for breathing in the same air as him. And it looked like his patience to tolerate my dramatic ass had run off. My mind was telling the possibilities as the main door was closed with a small thud. We stared at each other in silence until it started to bite off my ears and I cleared my throat. “ Why is he here?? “ I asked, trying to cover my nervousness and sliding away from his reach slowly. “ Definitely not for you to drool over him.” He gritted coldly through his clenched jaws with an even more cold glare. I gulped down realising the reason for his suddenly risen temper. Damn!! He is jealous. The look on his face was screaming that he damn sure was jealous and it’s almost terrifying to look at in those eyes right now. But that didn't mean that I was going to miss the chance. “ I just told the truth. He is ho-I had start
—JENNIFER—Oh, How wrong I was to think that he would care to even listen to my threat. I groaned immediately at the sight when I stepped out of the door to receive Cally. “ He got to be kidding me!! “ I stared at the big bulky bodyguard, Morris, standing at full attention at the door. “ Are you going somewhere, Mam?? “ He asked, as soon as his eyes caught me. “ No. Not certainly now.” I gritted through my teeth making him shift in his place. The elevator bell ding before the doors were opened, revealing Cally. She grinned up at me making me reciprocate it as I hugged her. “ Damn, I missed you.” She complained, pulling apart. “ I don't like holidays anymore. “ I matched her tone of remorse, leading her inside but she stopped abruptly. “ Bloody hot chocolate!! Who's that? “ Her eyes wandered behind me at Morris. “ He works with Christian and now is here to provide me safety.“ I grunted in annoyance. “As if every bad guy is waiting outside my door to get their hands on me. ” I c
—JENNIFER—The holidays had me going crazy out of boredom and since I had completed all three of my novels that I had bought three days back, I had nothing to do right now. I can't even go to a bookstore Or library because of a certain big bulky bodyguard lurking at the door. Finding no other way to kill my time, I called mom and we talked sometime. “ Is he treating you nicely?? “Mom asked after pleasantries. “ I thought you would ask if I'm treating him nicely. “ I said, sarcastically. “ Oh, didn't I ask that only?? I guess my words got misplaced. “ She teased, making me huff. “ Your mom is getting old, Princess.” Dad's voice came in between followed by a hiss. “ Stop being violent, woman. “ I laughed, understanding that Mom had surely hit him. “ Alright, Now when are you visiting us?? “ Mom had asked. “ I was thinking about coming after the new year. Since my university will be reopened, I'll come directly from there. “ I informed her. “ I wasn't talking about only you, you
—CHRISTIAN—I watched as the big screen in my office played the news about a pitiful accident in George Lopez's building. “ What's next Sir? “ James asked, eyeing the screen as well. I turned my attention to the man splayed shamelessly on the couch near the window. “ Now, If you are done relaxing, Can we talk business? “ I asked. “ No. Not until you clear my previous payments.” He answered with his eyes still closed. “ Alex! “ I chewed the name and he still didn't buzz from his place. “ I might have to target you for my next shot.” It was supposed to be a threat but does he care??“ And you want my help in targeting me?? How thoughtful. “ He sat saying this and yawned lazily. “ Get your ass here.” I barked. “ I might need a coffee first. “ He told James, ignoring me. “ Right away, Sir. “ James stood up to leave but he stopped him. “ And a chocolate milkshake for dear Christian.” He grinned up at me and I shot him a death glare. “ A-Alright Sir.” James gave me a weird look be
—JENNIFER—I asked, trying to push the smirk on display while hiding the blush on my cheeks caused by his constantly intense gaze and his gorgeous look. He can look handsome even in a plastic bag!! “ Not really! “ He said, taking a step closer to me. Damn him!! How can he shamelessly accept that he was staring. I took a subconscious step back because of the decreased distance between us but he was fast to stop me with his one hand going around my waist and pressing me against his chest. “ My choice really is ravishing! “ He whispered, huskily as his other hands went up to my hair. “ Y-Yes! The dress.. dress is gorgeous! “ I said, more to myself, hoping that he was actually talking about the dress. Before I knew it, he pulled out the binder from my ponytail, making my hair to fell down on my back. “ Wha-“ Don't you ever tie them again.” He said as he, without giving me any chance to reply, nudged his face in my hair making me go shut up.My eyes went wide when he sniffed them
—JENNIFER—Next some hours were spent without anything important as Christian was busy talking to his business associates and I just stood there, hanging on his arm. From the conversation he was having I collected that Mathew and John are business partners and most of their business is collaborated. Finally when the man named Mr. Collins left after a long, long chat with Christian and he turned to face me. “ Aren't you hungry?? “ He asked and I felt myself fueled, immediately. “ Don't you think?? “ I growled, lowly along with my stomach. Christian rolled his eyes and led me towards the food section. “ I hope they roll out of their sockets, the next time you roll them! “ I hissed beside him. “ I realise, hunger makes you cranky! “ He remarked. “ You have no idea.” I hissed back. Half an hour later we were back to the business chats and marriage congratulations when suddenly the wife of John Anderson and host of the party, asked for attention. "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, i
—JENNIFER—I stared into his eyes that were ready to drown in those deep pooles. But by the look of them I can tell that the pools are definitely filled with boiling water.The music stopped and everyone started to leave the dance floor since it was almost 12:00.But instead of staying with everyone and hooting through the countdown of new year, I was being dragged to one side. Soon I found that not only one side but the outside. In the garden of the house. His hold on my wrist was so tight that a yelp escaped my lips before he left me with a jerk in the silent garden. “What's wrong with you?? “ I almost cried at his behaviour. “ What's wrong with me?? What's wrong with you?? What the fuck were you doing there??” He growled, making me take a step back. His eyes blazed with pure fury and the vein in his forehead ticked like a time bomb. “ I-I was just dancing. “ I simply answered, trying to keep myself calm. “ And With who exactly??” He gritted through his teeth. “ A gentleman
—JENNIFER—“ What?? “ My brows furrowed. “ Dinner!! Mary took another leave. “ He informed me but my frown deepened another inch. She has started to have a lot of leaves lately. “ Oh.” I mumbled. “ You want to go out?? “ He asked, stuffing his hands in his pockets. “ We can just order something.” I said, trying to hide my nervousness. No way in hell I'm going to spend this much time alone with him going out. “ I'll cook. Come!! “ He turned to leave but I stayed rooted in my place since my reader's mind didn't provide me with the same meaning of the last word as he meant. I was pulled out of my trance by his warning laced voice. “ Princess!! Do you want me to make you?? “ And the words didn't help sorting my head at all. Another wave of embarrassment joined the previous as I quickly followed him to the kitchen with rosy cheeks. I stood at the entrance, not knowing what to do until he gave me a pointed look and sighing, I settled myself at the kitchen counter. Awkward silence
