chapter 43

Book:Maya Published:2024-5-1

It was already 3 hours after that meeting and I was still fidgeting with my top and staring at the ceiling of my living room lying upside down. I had lost all my appetite after what I did?
I should have not said openly in front of Jacob that I am planning to ditch Mr. Mystery. I know I won’t be able to do this at all… I literally can’t see anyone at his place. And what if Jacob and he are the same? He won’t trust me ever, he might think that I am a good digger behind this saint behavior. Uuuhhhh!!! SHIT!! I am stuck now.
I know it might be foolish, to think that he and Mr. Mystery are the same. But that ring in their index fingers was same, all my research done was claiming only one person aka Jacob…
I was still nervous and scared about the outcomes. I was just thinking that what if he was Jacob? How is it possible? He can’t be my Mr. Mystery…he is a Casanova who can swoon any woman within a bat of an eyelash. ” Including me..” Did I mention this? Yes he was my crush…. but everything changed after I met Mr. Mystery, but you know he never committed actually nor me… so what’s the harm in drooling someone … Jacob is surely a feast to eyes, especially women.
His extreme manly figure, his broad shoulders and slim torso…is any women’s desire… Live it, if you have a closer look at him he had the most beautiful black eyes… with a perfect pair of lips and a proud nose. His smug look is enough for any naïve girl to faint… yes he is completely a model figure with the expected handsome looks…huh…
Wait!! What ? I am not thinking about Jacob ….. No…no…no…. this can’t be true…how could I not notice those eyes…. Gosh they are one and the same…. No they can’t be…but their eyes are so similar.
Huh….. I can’t take it any more… let’s do it and face the consequences…that’s it…
Did I just said it…Naaa when did I turned so brave..?
When I turned towards the clock it was already five in the evening. Wait!! Did I just read five? Oh god and I have not even taken a shower… he will be here any moment… oh…god…where am I stuck?
I immediately rushed towards the bedroom and took a nice shower. After taking a nice, long and calming shower, I decided to wear the dress. But which one? Black or Red… but if they are the same then why would he bring two different dresses? Ohhh no…I am in great trouble…
After 15 long minutes I decided to go with red, I know my Mr. Mystery would identify in any color.. maybe? I wore it and started applying make up.
Though it was a huge function…but I didn’t know which? Jacob never said. I decided to ignore it and stress on my dressing.
I applied a minimal makeup to look, simple but sexy…wait? Me…sexy…Really??? Oh my stupid hormones, I hope they control themselves for this evening, otherwise I will end up with the wrong person at the wrong place…
After 1 long hour I was satisfied with my appearance. I glanced at the clock and it was already 6:30 in the evening, now he will be here any moment….
I didn’t noticed that I forgot to eat the whole day, now my stomach was fighting world wars… so I decided to eat something. I moved towards the kitchen and fixed few sandwiches with extra cheese. What ? I can’t leave without it…I LOVE ” CHEESE”.
I was about to eat when I heard the door bell ring. I sighed and nodded in frustration. I dragged away from my sandwiches and opened the door. I saw Jacob standing with a heart warming smile. I unknowingly returned it. But, when I noticed him, he was just eyeing me from head to toe and licked his lips.
I cleared my throat and he brought his attention to my face. He was staring me with an odd expression which was difficult to dissipate.
I was getting uncomfortable under his gaze, so I tried to avoid this uncomfortable staring competition. But to my dismay, his eyes were staring something with his mouth slightly open. I followed his gaze only to see him gawking at my bare thighs visible from my dresses’s slit. I groaned completely irritated and he chuckled.
“What a Jerk!!” I thought. I said annoyingly, ” Want to come in? You say I am busy…”. He nodded and entered. I closed the door behind him.
SHIT!! I DON’T SHARE CHEESE…BUT I HAVE TOO THIS TIME…
I asked him,” I fixed sandwiches, you want some…”. Without wasting a second he said,” Yes, honey…you see I am very hungry…”. He was eyeing me as if about to pounce on me, I ignored his earlier statement and brought sandwiches…to the living room.
Only to see him spread awfully on my couch… uuuuuhhh how am I gonna bear him tonight? I sat on opposite chair. I kept the platter on the table. He sat straight and started eating.
While I was eating, I felt someone’s stare on me…I noticed Jacob staring with a weird expression on his face… oh god he and his expressions! I immediately said,” Stop staring idiot..”.
He chuckled and said,” Chill I won’t bite.. though very tempting…”.
I ignored his statement.
After our little supper, we got up to leave. I moved in my bedroom to take my clutch and cellphone and money…never trust Jacob was always my main moto…
I went out only to see him holding a small velvet box, I gulped and saw him with a scared look. He said,” Darling, wear it for me…please..”. I moved towards him and took it with shaky hands.
I opened to see a pair beautiful diamond earrings. I said,” I can’t take it I am sorry…please…I know your reputation and all…but.. no.. “. He simply sighed and gave me hard glare saying to back off and I understood in no time. I wore it.
We were about to leave when he cleared his throat, I turned towards him, he had his sexy expression back, I sighed and asked,” What? Now..”.
He slowly walked towards me, within two long strides he was already capturing my personal space. He slowly pulled me closer to him, like almost stuck with each other and before I could understand anything, he lifted my chin and I immediately shut my eyes knowing what was coming next.
But nothing came. I slowly opened my eyes only to see him staring right through my soul, with a sly smile on his lips. I was clearly embarrassed with my reaction so I stared down, but to my utter dismay I was still wrapped with his arms around me.
He cleared his throat to bring my attention back to him, I looked at him and he slowly removed my glasses which I was wearing and said,” Who wears glasses and lenses together…”. Uuuuuhhhh so stupid me….. I tried getting away from his embrace when he slowly pulled me back.
I was about to yell at him, when he slowly kissed the corner of my lips very slowly, and whispered,” Looking sexy! My lady….”.
I heard it, I heard it right he used that ” My lady…” phrase and suddenly I noticed his ring on index finger. My eyes went wide with horror, but still I was not convinced…at all…
