“It’s over Jace, everything’s over” She said as she leaned down to kiss his cheek.
“We have to take him Miss Colton!” Doctor Carl said and Jasmine nodded standing up and making way for the nurses.
She watched as they pushed him away. Liam placed his hands on her shoulder.
“Excuse me Miss Colton,,, Mr Nolan” Doctor Carl said.
“Thank you Doctor” Liam and Jasmine said simultaneously.
Doctor Carl nodded and walked away.
“Seems someone’s mood just lightened” Liam said as he watched Jasmine grin.
“Right! I feel alive again. To know my brother’s okay is enough for me”.
“C’mon, I’ll drive you home” Liam offered and she nodded. He held her hand as the walked out.
…
The drive was silent as usual. Liam pulled over and without wasting time, Jasmine came down, walking to the door.
“Hey! Sweetheart wait up!” Liam said as he rushed after her. Jasmine grabbed the door handle then stopped.
She raised her hands up as a sign for Liam to stop coming after her. He stopped and stared at her with his brows furrowed in confusion.
“Mr Nolan, Your journey ends here.. You can go back home now. Thanks for everything you’ve done. But we have to part ways here” She said in an authoritative tone. Seriousness written all over her face.
“What?..”Liam asked taken aback with her sudden change.
“I’m serious Mr Nolan, I’ve thanked you enough already. There’s nothing left say or do” She said, twisting the door knob, then walked inside.
“Sweetheart!” He called in a faint tone. He couldn’t understand the reason for this.
“Goodbye Mr Nolan!!” She said slamming the door.
Liam stared at the door for a while wishing she’d Just show up and tell him how funny her act was.
It’s up to five minutes and he’d been standing there and staring at the door but there’s no sign of her showing up.
He sighed dejectedly then turned to leave…
“Liam??” He stopped when he heard Jasmine call.
“I’m just kidding a*shole, come here” She said dragging him in.
Liam gazed at her as she shut the door.
“Don’t give me that look Liam,,, I ain’t that heartless Liam” She said rolling her eyes.
“It was just an act?” Liam asked, still not getting it.
Jasmine nodded trying so hard to bit back a Laugh.
“You mean, you were just putting on an act??” He asked again.
“That’s right! And you actually feel for it. You should have seen your face.. You had this look” She straightened up herself then made an ugly face.
“That’s a lie,.” He defended. Jasmine burst into laughter.
“Hold on! You did this also..” She said then leaned on the wall.
She cleared her throat then raised her head up, putting on a sad look.
“What?…. Sweetheart??” She mimicked him.
Liam placed his two hands on the wall as he closed the gap between them. Jasmine on the other hand swallowed back a laugh.
“So you were just acting uh?” Liam said in a low tone.
Jasmine nodded,, A small smile still lingering on her face as she stared directly at him. Again, her heart beat accelerated, beating more than the usual.
Those creepy butterflies in her stomach, giving her the tingling sensation as Liam brought his face closer to hers.
She’d felt like this, the very first day they met, but it wasn’t this much. But right now, the case is different.
“Now, what should be your punishment uh?” He whispered. He tilted his head, his hot breath reaching her neck giving her this hot feeling.
On a norm, if it was some other guy, she’d have pushed him away. She doesn’t understand why she just let this Liam guy have his way. She felt she needed to push him away but she couldn’t.
“Pun.. punishment?” She stuttered.
“Yes sweetheart! What do you think it should be?” He whispered again, letting his nose touch her neck.
She shivered a little as she felt something wet rush in between her legs. She understands it,,, She’s getting wet even with just his touch. Martin didn’t make her feel this way, but this Liam guy!! God!
Her breath seized when she felt his lips on her neck. She closed her eyes forcing herself not to moan out loud.
He kept nibbling on her neck. Jasmine clinged unto the wall like there was something there to hold on to.
After a while, he stopped. He used his hand to move some hair on her face. He cupped her cheek careressing it with his thumb.
“L.. Liam?” Jasmine called breathing hard.
Liam leaned forward to kiss her cheek, down to her jawline. He brushed his lips against hers, Jasmine parted her lips slightly. She hates this punishment!
He brushed his lips against hers again. She licked her lips anticipating the kiss.
Liam smirked moving away from her.
“.. You really wanted to kiss me so badly uh?” He said bursting into laughter.
Jasmine snapped back to reality,,, What the f*ck was she doing? How could she let him do this to her. To think she got lost by his mere touch.
She sent him a death glare but that only motivated Liam into another fit of laughter.
“You needed to hear yourself moaning out my name…. Liam!!” He said as he mimicked her voice. He laughed out loud.
It wasn’t funny to him either, it took him a whole lot to control himself. He wanted to teach her a lesson but when he started, he just wanted to explore her body. She’s driving him crazy.
Jasmine glared angrily at him. She made a fool out of herself. He even made her wet. She gritted her teeth and balled her fist. She just want to punch him so hard on his face but considering the fact that he saved Jace’s Life she’ll just let him be. That doesn’t mean she’s gonna let him go Scot free,,, They’re many chances to take her revenge. She’s gonna make him taste her sweet little hot revenge! He should just wait for the perfect time.
“Care for a coffee?” I asked and he quickly sobbered up and stared at me.
“Aren’t you mad at me?” He asked.
“Mad at you? Nope!” She simply said.
“You’re so weird!” He said.
Wait till you taste the bitchy side of me Mr Nolan;; Jasmine thought, releasing a light smile.
“Would you like some coffee Liam?” She repeated her question.
“Sure!” He answered still unsure of what her motive is.
She walked into the kitchen with Liam’s gaze not leaving her.
“Why is she so calm with all that happened? Gosh!!”
In a few seconds, Jasmine walked back with the coffee. She stretched it towards him. He stared at her suspiciously before taking it from her.
He looked at the coffee then back at her. He squinted his eyes at her.
“How am I sure you didn’t poison my coffee”
Jasmine smirked…”And why would I do that? Look Liam, I wouldn’t water my time poisoning you. if I wanted revenge, I’d have given you a tight punch that’ll make you go Unconcious for a day or two. But I wouldn’t want to risk your face”.
Liam gasped touching his face..”Please spare my face, at least save it for my future wife!” He pleaded dramatically.
“Now have you coffee or I’m gonna give you a tight punch right now” Jasmine threatened and he quickly drank from it.
“Good” Jasmine said and Chuckled.
She sighed… “Liam?” she called and he looked at her.
“Thanks for everything!” She said.
“Paying Jace’s bill. I wish there was a way to repay you,, I’ll gladly work for you”
“You don’t have to pay me sweetheart, I did whatever any gentle man would do… But there’s a way to pay me back” He said.
“What way?”
Liam carefully placed the coffee on the table, then cleared his throat.
“Be my wife!” He said.
Jasmine stared at him then burst into a short laughter.
“We’ve been joking but if this is a joke then stop because it isn’t funny” She said.
“It’s not a joke Jasmine,,, I’m serious. Be my wife.” He said with all seriousness.
“What?… I … I… I’m sorry I can’t do this. If you paid for Jace’s bills then I’m gonna save up and pay the money. Besides, I don’t even know you.”
“I paid for Jace’s bills because I want. I’m being forced to get married to some girl I don’t even know and if I don’t, my inheritance would be taken away from me Except I bring a girl of my choice” He paused.
“You were my only option Jasmine. I’ll leave you to think about it” . With that, he walked out.
Jasmine slumped into the sofa. What is she supposed to do? He said it himself right, I was his only option. Does it mean he doesn’t have a girlfriend or something.
Becoming his wife is difficult only when it isn’t out of love. What is she gonna do? What happens if they get married? what happens when he gets his inheritance, are they gonna get divorced? is he gonna ask her to leave once that is over?
Those thoughts kept burning inside of her. If she is gonna accept, then she has to convey the questions to him and probably talk to Adam.
