And then there was magic . No I wasn't lying when I said that because the second Jacob stepped in the lounge, Instantly every single women in the room perked up.
From my peripheral view I could see a young teen around the age of fourteen staring at him nonstop , even forgetting to blink or to breathe. Her mouth wide open as she kept staring at him . A few tables down , a woman subtly shifted while another one vainly adjusted her clothes and hair , she even went as far as popping up few buttons of her blouse. And to my horror , a middle aged woman who was dressed in black attorney suit plastered a flirtatious smile on her face .
Jacob however didn't even look at their direction , which got him some major points from me . Walking up to me he gave me a wide grin as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and just like always - the electric current instantly snapped into its place like it did whenever he touched me .
" hey th
Jacob smiled looking quite amused at Chris's indignation but when I tugged his wrist he graciously abandoned his pursuit of happiness upon the sacrificial ceremony of my brother's happiness and followed me out of the diner entrance to the parking lot ." what are you gazing at so intently ?" I asked feeling his burning gaze at my back" That little sway of your a*s " without so much as batting his eye , he answered my question " Its unintentionally proactive and I -"" Don't be such a prude " blushing furiously I glanced around I would be real down on my luck if someone especially my co workers heard the star quarterback of the town telling me how 'proactive' my a*s was " And just for the record my a*s ain't swaying proactively QB , I'm walking - simply walking . Will you get your head out of the gutter , please ? "" But
" Good evening , Miss Hamilton " as soon as Jacob pushed the entrance door wide open , a butler as if summoned by the magical runes on the door popped right up . Yeah , no kidding - he was dressed like one of those butlers whom you will usually find in a high class aristocratic family .I was so surprised at his sudden appearance that I didn't even asked how he knew my name but then again maybe he knew the name of every women that slept with Jacob just in case he had to send hitman after them . What,? aristocratic families were messy - and I had watched enough dramas and had a rather good idea about how these aristocrats dealt with baby momma drama ." Good evening " I greeted him back dryly , Jacob had left me alone in the entrance hall and gone up to the second floor to get Annabeth , I knew that something must have happened at home so I didn't stop him but holy hell that was the scariest ride I ever had in my life the
When we reached Potter's , I was really glad that I dressed up nicely for the date instead of going with Jacob's 'you look beautiful no matter what '. Nervous and a bit excited , I tugged at the hem of my dress as I walked beside Jacob who was carrying Annabeth in his arms . A ninny - no , a high maintenance,well poised and neatly coiffed hostess was walking in front of us , her back ram rod straight as she lead us to our table. I stole a few glimpses furtively as we walked past the occupied tables. Most of the tables and booths were full and as for the patrons they were dressed exquisitely ranging from business suits to cocktail gowns. Even the unoccupied tables were set with bone white china plates , tiny square vases , folded cloth napkins and spotlessly clean goblet maybe used for wine or water , whatever the patrons preferred .On the right , there was a silver haired man was playing violin upon a raised white marble platform and beside
There wasn't anything more embarrassing for a girl than getting caught by your brother when you are kissing - no full blown making out with your boyfriend .It was hella embarrassing for me as well and it was with awkward grace with which I stepped out of Jacob's lexus while Chris glowered a glower at Jacob that deepened when his gaze drifted to my swollen lips ." hey , Hamilton " unlike me who was hopefully staring at the ground wishing that it will some how spilt itself and swallow me whole , Jacob was completely relaxed . He got out of his lexus in apparent ease and raised his brows at Chris with hands in his pocket " You waiting to me off ?"Something about his lazy demeanour must have ticked Chris off because a second later I heard my brother growl like an enraged animal " I really have no idea what my sister sees in you -"Jacob who was looked thoroughly amused by Chris enraged profile cocked his head and mad
'Trust is an unexplainable part of any relationship ' when Jonathan and my mother separated their way this was exactly what my nanna told me , in her words when trust fades away from a relationship there is nothing left except an empty shell that traps two people together until they decide to even break that shell that was tying them together . I was a firm believer of this theory which was why I didn't want to doubt Jacob after what Chris just told me but still after much tossing and turning I was still widely awake , staring at RM poster on my ceiling point blank .But for some reason even my charming RM couldn't get my mind off Jacob , after the 'very nice 'chat with my brother - I came to my room to watch Korean dramas on loop , stalked cough platonically surfed RM 's official page but nothing - my mind was still in a mess." god dammit !" cursing I sat up straight and glared at the wall opposite to my bed , I
Sandwich in mouth, my mind went high as if it was on adderall , I tried to think of reasonable excuses that might excuse my sins and serve me my penance . But no matter how hard I thought , I couldn't think of a reasonable excuse as for I was ignoring my boyfriend in just a relationship of two days .Maybe I should just bite the bullet and come clean and tell Jacob that I needed some time and space ? It was a shitty thing to do but my heart needed some time out to prepare itself for this sudden ' stranger danger 'that popped up out of no where ." Jake I -" I started but then a chill ran through me when I finally caught glimpse of the person who was staring down at me and I back tracked at once , swallowing hard I raised my hand in surrender while my sandwich flopped back on the brown paper bag on my lap " whatever happened to Ariana , I didn't do it "Yup it was Conan , I
To say that I took the 'yes I was kinda involved in my ex girlfriend accident cum murder case ' well would be an understatement . I took it with flawless apparent ease - Not !The moment I was done with the little chat with Jacob , I told him exactly what was going in my mind and that was - I need time and space . Guaranteed , Jacob didn't took it well but maybe he was smart enough to know that this time , he needed to play by wits instead of playing his cards by force .Thus , he didn't stop me from leaving but that doesn't mean he gave up pestering me. He had been constantly flooding my inbox with messages which had no important subjects or content . As on cue my phone chimed and I swept a glance at my smartphone which was vibrating upon my dashboard with 'Jacob ' flashing on its screen ." Your phone is ringing " with her Mr .Pooh teddy bear in her arms , Annabeth told me . Today was Saturday and as per my promi
Jacob's assurance put my mind at ease, though there was a nagging voice in my head but I threw it right at the back of my mind , presuming it as anxiety which rose because of my overthinking regarding the situation . And now that my heart was a little settled down , I had another thing to worry about - I was alone with Jacob , in his damn room .I could vividly imagine a huge signboard hanging over Jacob's head that read " Please move with caution your virtue is at risk " in vibrant flashing colours. Unfortunately , the signboard was a tad bit late ." Well thanks for clearing it up " I said struggling to sit up straight as I pushed against Jacob's chest " It would be nice if you - you know if you let me get up "" And why would I do that ? Hmm princess ?" just like yesterday noon his eyes
