I still couldn't give Jasper an answer as we sat across from each other.
"Can I at least have your number?"
"I don't have a phone."
"How come?"
"Not many of us can offer certain luxury in life."
"That isn't a luxury, it's a necessity."
"Well, that's something I don't have the pleasure of experiencing."
"Let me help you then."
"Why? What is it about me?"
"I asked myself the day you left as well. You just seem like someone I can get to know."
"I'm sure that you are only feeling this way because of your break-up."
"We broke up 3 months ago. She cheated on me with someone."
"How do you know I won't do the same?"
"I never judge a person based on my past experiences. We all have to try."
"Well, based on my past, I would rather stay away from people. I don't even have friends."
"Is that a yes or a no?"
"Take it as you must, Jasper."
I went back inside to continue my
"You guys can head on home. I'm locking up early," Jimmy told us.Which was good, because it had started raining and I doubt anyone else was coming."Bye."Jimmy nodded. When we got outside, he locked the door, and I noticed a slick black SUV in the parking lot.Cooper was busy texting on his phone, while Jenna seemed completely zoned out and oblivious to what might happen.The door of the car opened, causing me to grab Jenna."Ouch." She tried to pull away.When I saw who it was, I let her go."You don't give up, do you?""It depends on what I want." He said."What do you want, Jasper?""Please allow me to take you home.”“Mine or yours?”“Yours.”"I live with them, so it's the three of us or none of us."Jasper's eyes travelled between Jenna and Cooper."She's my sister, and he's my best friend." I notified him."Ok, I can extend the
Jasper turned around to look at me."Sorry, Jordan, but I won't bother you anymore.""Yes, no. Hmm, if I agree to be with you and this doesn't work out, will you leave me alone?""Yes, you have my word.""It's a deal then."I could see him trying to hide a smile."Is it too soon to ask you to spend the night? I would like to get to know you more.""Ok, just give me a few minutes."I hurried up the remaining stairs, almost tripping as I went."What did he want?" Jenna asked.I said nothing as I ran to my room, dug through my things, and took out the best clothing I had.I stuffed them in a little bag, then left my room."Oh." I heard Cooper saying."I'll see you guys tomorrow, maybe.""Do you think this is a good idea?" Jenna asked."Weren't you the one encouraging me to give this a shot?""Yes, but what if he only uses you?" Jenna asked."And I said basically the sa
I looked around the space of the Penthouse, thinking that it looked different from when I was here the last time.But then again, I was on a high from alcohol and sex."This place is truly amazing.""Thank you. I need to call my father to sort things out with what happened."As I sat on the white, comfortable sofa that was in Jasper's living room. I watched him as he paced the area, thinking about what to do."Ok, so as soon as he gets back from his trip, I will talk to him.""It's fine, really. I mean, I know she would have died. I was just holding on and now I'm doing the same with not setting a set day to have her cremated.""Ok, so first thing first. I am going to get you off that blacklist." Jasper said, ignoring what I just said."Wait. You can do that?""Cameron is no match for me, plus it can be easily done when I get in contact with the right person.""Ok.""What line of work are you looking for?"
"I don't want to share that," I told Jasper."Come on, I don't want any secret between us and this way I can protect you better."I scoffed, "or maybe you will leave after you hear what I have done.""I won't.""Yeah, you're right. You would just kick me out."Jasper closed the distance between us. He cupped my face and placed a kiss on my lips."I won't do that either."I pulled away from his touch and sighed."When I was in college, I was studying Law. My father, he got me in on a full scholarship. It was great until my third year. I was not failing, but I wasn't doing great. Of course, my father went crazy, saying that if I don't get my grades up, they would take my opportunity away.""I did all I could by staying up late and spending all my time studying. None of that helped. Coffee didn't help, working out didn't help. Nothing.""Until my new roommate moved in, she saw that I was struggling and offered me som
"Turn around and face me," he ordered, his voice gentle.I did as I was told, turning slowly to build up the anticipation.He watched me intently."You have a perfect body. I don't see why you always hide it under those baggy clothes." he said through clenched teeth."To keep unwanted men away.""Am I unwanted?"I shook my head."Use your words.""I want you." I told him."Do you want me to fuck you?"
I felt something shaking me from my sleep. I opened one eye to see Jasper standing over me.I jumped up with a gasp."What?""Relax, just waking you up to begin the day early.""Why?" I groaned."Because we have quite a few things to do.""10 more minutes, please?""No, none. Let's go.""I don't want to."Jasper got into bed beside me. "I guess you don't want to hear how I got you off the blacklist then, it came through quicker than I thought."I peeked from under the covers at that."Are you serious?""Yes.I threw myself at him, kissing him all over his face."Thank you so much." I told him."It was not a bother.""Well, I guess I'm up now.""Good, first stop breakfast. Then we have a few other things to do.""Like what?""Most of it is a surprise.""I don't like surprises.""You will like these.""Ok, I guess."After eati
When we got to the car, I glanced at Jasper.''So where to next?""A little shopping."I nod."That girl, do you know her?""Who?""The receptionist.""Oh, I wouldn't say I know her, but I frequented the salon with my ex. She would always do the most to get my attention until my ex spat in her face because of an altercation. Did she say something to you?""No, it was just the way she was behaving towards me. I could feel the animosity and thought she was a woman from your past.""Woman from my past?" Jasper laughed, "she is not my type.""What exactly is your type?""I don't know better yet. I don’t think I have one, but it's not her.""How can you not have a type?""Because then, that means I would be with the same person over and over, just with a different face. And would never meet my soul mate because I'm sticking to one type of person.""That makes plenty of sense.""
When we came out of the dressing room, I was wearing a new neon green pants that had white strips at the side a white blouse.Mark gave us a knowing smile."Is that all?" He asked, his smile never leaving."Yes, she has all she needs." Jasper told him.Mark made his way over to the 6 racks of clothes that I placed the items I chose on.I watched as he scanned them, along with the shoes and bags of my selection."Are you sure you want to take me to meet your parents? I don't mind going back to work today.""Talking about work, I would like a copy of yo
