Jace lander ending up on a couch in her apartment with a cup of hot chocolate with his shoes and socks off wasn't what Korina had dreamt to happen, not even in a million years and for some odd reason, she couldn't tear her eyes away from his feet. She thought them attractive, too damn attractive for a man's feet.
"Done checking my feet out?" He smirked at her, he found it pleasing that at least she found something about him attractive.
"I wasn't staring at your feet." She jumped to defend herself lying, "I find them totally displeasing and ugly."
"I know they are not." Jace took a long sip from the mug and leaned backwards on the couch, "Admit it, you are attracted to them and quit denying it."
"Don't you find it weird that we are talking about your feet?" She asked him, if he didn't find it weird, she found it super odd and she wanted it to stop.
"No, I don't." He nodded and kept sipping
violent scene ahead*"Why the fuck is someone always trying to kill me?" Korina's voice was filled with rage and she was literally fuming."Would you bring your voice down and lessen your tone?" Daniella pleaded, "We are at the hospital.""Why the hell should I bring it down?" She screamed, "It's either I am getting shot at or someone is trying to run me over or I am getting kidnapped or having I shock. I need a break Goddamit, I am thinking of relocating away from here to the united kingdoms, oh no! That bastard Cole is there. Asia would be better, I would relocate to India..." Daniella rolled her eyes listening to her cousin rant and with the strength she sported, she knew Korina was strong enough to be discharged now."And where the fuck is that man Jace?" Korina asked."He is right there." Her cousin pointed to the o
Korina saw Jace everywhere, at her place of work, at the mall, on the streets, at the movies.She saw Jace when she went out with the girls, she saw him when she went to the convenience store.Jace was everywhere, and everywhere had Jace.She was running crazy, her stress ball was equally stressed. She swore that the next time she saw him, she would kill him and get rid of that handsome face of his.Handsome? Her conscience had questioned, oh now, you find him handsome.She knew that if she saw him one more time she would literally go crazy."I swear, I am going nuts if I see that man one more time." She had told her friends, and they had laughed.Anne and Daniella found the situation very funny and they saw no reason why Korina was refusing Jace.She had threatened them both that if they rooted for Jace again it wo
Korina was really excited about her date with Jace but she lied to her friends that she just wanted to get it over and done with. She didn't want them to know that she was anticipating their date."I am only doing this cause after the date I am never gonna see him again." She said to them."Your eyes speak differently." Daniella teased her, "I can see the excitement.""What?!" Korina turned to her cousin, "You are a psychologist now?""Look Korina, the boy ain't that bad." Anne said, "Give him a chance, some benefit of doubt maybe, he definitely can't be all that bad.""That's exactly what I thought about Cole too but look what happened." She sighed, "See, that man Jace is really annoying and I ain't ready for a relationship. In other words, after this date, it's bye bye to him."Daniella and Anne looked at her not saying a word and Korina was glad
Korina didn't get rid of Jace on the first date as she vowed, in fact she had gone on many other simpler dates with him after that and she had taken more than a liking towards him."So are you guys like a thing now?" Daniella asked as she watched Korina apply extra mascara on her lashes."No Dan!" Korina sighed, "We are just two friends hanging out and having lots of fun.""But you like him uhn?" She was smiling at her teasingly."Not deep feelings idiot but only as a person I love to hang out with." Korina rolled her eyes at her cousin, "And quit trying to get me into admitting my feelings, I do not have feelings for him.""Uh uh... Whatever you say girl." Daniella stood up from the bed as Korina signalled her to come help with her zip, "Why haven't you made Anne and I formally meet him yet?""You haven't cause there is nothing between us, we are just friends." She let ou
"Serves you right, dipshit!" Daniella scowled at Jace as she watched him press the ice pack to his bruised face.He hissed at the feel."Oh come on Dan." Anne reprimanded her, "Cut the man some slack.""Thank you, Anne." Jace said, at least someone reason's here."Shut the fuck up!" She screamed at him, "You deserve worse."He let out a deep breath, just when he thought that Anne was reasonably on his side."What gave you the other black eye?" Both girls asked him."I went over to Korina's to have a talk with her." He explained, "But immediately she opened the door and saw me, she landed a punch in my face and shut the door.""Oh!" Anne said with a frown."And then I came here and Daniella did exactly the same damn thing." He continued, "What the hell is wrong with you all?""What is wrong with us
"I am sorry." Jace apologised for the umpteenth time but korina still said no word, "Please talk to me, please.""I want you to leave." She said finally speaking, she still hadn't lessened her glare on him, "I don't want you here.""You still haven't given me a chance to explain myself." He said to her, she really was stubborn, "You haven't heard me out yet.""What's your excuse uhn?" She growled at him, "Look I have been through this whole process. You already gave the memo, I get it, you ignored me for days without explanation and now you are here, for what?""I came to explain myself, jeez!""What do you wanna say?" She rolled her eyes, "Talk, explain yourself.""Please sit down." He pleaded gesturing to the sofa.She huffed and took a seat, "Speak." She said."Look, I had..." Jace started but was rudely cut off by Korina.
"And that's how you became his girlfriend?" Daniella asked with a shocked expression, she couldn't believe what Korina just told her."I am not his girlfriend." Korina rolled her eyes at her cousin, "He might have been joking or something and how's that even his first kiss?" She laughed loudly and stopped when she noticed her friends staring at her, their eyes unblinking."What?!" She asked them, "What is it? Why are you staring at me like that?""I am very sure it his first kiss." Anne said, "Strange I know, but have you seen that man around you, man! He's always nervous, I doubt he had ever approached a woman before you.""Anne is right and he is definitely serious about the girlfriend thing, like this dude is really into you.""Hmm." Korina just nodded at them."And you like him?" Daniella asked."Don't ask her girl." Anne said, "She fucking likes
"So are you ready to talk?" Korina asked Jace, they were having breakfast.He had woken up earlier before her and prepared it. The pain in his arm had reduced, it wasn't the first time he was getting shot."There is nothing to talk about." He responded dryly while refilling his glass with orange juice, "I was on my way here and I got shot.""I don't believe you Jace." She deadpanned, "Something isn't right, you are keeping things away from me.""I am not." He lied, "Just trust me Korina and let it go.""Trust you?" She looked at him, "I don't even know much about you, I don't know where you live, who your parents are and other important stuff.""And I don't know much about you either." He lied again, "I only know that you have been hurt severely.""Yea right." She scoffed."Wanna know about me?" He asked staring at her and she nodded excit
