Chapter 8 - CHAPTER 8

KIMBERLY

I exit the building of JADS immediately after work leaving every document I had to give Jace to Stacy instead of doing it myself

Honestly , I do not know how to react around him at the moment

The ride home is not so long as our mansion is just some kilometers away

but I couldn't take his words out of my head making me all heated up all through the ride

On stepping out of my car, my phone beep with a message from Jace

" you should be home by now, Angel! I will call you when I get home dear".

Just the thought of how good a timer he is made him blush

I hope my face isn't all red; but who am I kidding

After replying to the message, I head inside with a huge smile but can't help wonder how long it will last remembering the two witches in the house

WOODSWORK'S MANSION

Welcome home baby! Steve smiles walking down the stairs for dinner

Evening Dad! Kim hugs him

You leave for work as early as a morning bird but return late!

Can you cope with the strict nature of JADS? Dad asks concerned

I am coping just fine Dad. Besides I enjoy the challenge that comes with working there; I smile reassuringly

Quickly freshening up, she joins the family for dinner as it is a strict rule her father has

No eating in your room confinement!!!!

Are you happy in JADS Kim? Steve asks

Superb Dad! Kim smiles

That is certainly the reply your mum gives when I get all concerned about her; you remind me so much of Icy! Dad sighs with a tight smile

May her gentle soul rest in peace; Kim smiles

Amen dear! Amen! Steve smiles in pain

I hope dinner doesn't get infected by memories of the dead! Kaila rolls her eyes in disrespect

Well I suppose dinner can and will only get infected by your big and loud mouth for the dead do not speak dear sister! Kim exclaims sarcastically

You Bitch....kaila seethes

I advice you refrain from calling your older sister names; Steve cuts in keeping her shut

Why don't you also reprimand the so called older sister as she is also at fault, hon? Ciara backs up her lovely daughter paying a blind eye to her ill manners

Kimberly never throw uncalled insults at her younger sister. It is something only literates understands; Steve smirks not sparing a glance her way

Excuse me! Steve? Ciara barks while dropping her cutlery rather unladylike

I do not remember calling names Ciara, Chill! Steve speaks with a poker face before returning to his meal

I remember somebody spoke of table manners the other day at dinner, I hope you could put your preaching into great use; Kim smirks while she watches the fuming Ciara stay mute

Dinner is finally eaten all calm and quiet

JACE

Returning to the comfort of my room gets me reminiscing all that happened today at work

I feel so relaxed and weightless after baring my feelings and intentions open to her

My Kim! Gosh I'm so possessive

Recalling how I walk out of my boundaries for her in the boardroom earlier today

Bottling all those pent up feelings hell is the hardest situation I have ever faced

Says he who rules New York

Puff! Danny yells interrupting my private time a name I gave to my thoughts

When is my most handsome brother going to spill or do I have to ask not so politely? He asks with a dark smirk

Spill easily or spill forcefully

Well I am your only brother, Danny! I try changing the topic

Woah! He blurts giving me a menacing look

Fine! I am aware of what extent this brute can go just go get me to spill

I confessed my love officially to Kim earlier today! I simply put

Oh my Mula! To think I was wondering why she left work early today without saying a good bye like the nice lady she is.

The girl must have been so shocked; he grins

And? He presses

And? I pretend to misunderstand

Are you both official? He raises his brow in an annoyed manner

Not yet! You guessed right about how shocked and confused she was

So i let her off the tension by letting her know there is no rush

I mean I want my girl to be head over heels for me too; I couldn't help but smile hard at the thought

Wow! What is the score? You are giving her time to think about a relationship? He spills in excitement

Nope! I am going to court her into my world. I want her to feel this thrill I feel whenever I see her, how possessive I can get with mine; I smile in confidence and excitement

Oh my fuckin life! Jace Fernandez Pedro Ferrati is officially in love. Hell is she a lucky girl; you are going to be giving alot of girls suicide attempt the moment you come official in public bro.

You are not going to be a leash on my neck else.... I space off intentionally

Of course bro! I dare not..... He stammers losing all smiles

Danny knows me more than the world so he knows the beast that sleeps in me only to awaken when necessary

So when are you finding Mrs right Dan? I Swiftly change the topic

Are you saying you found Mrs right, bro? He smirks

Affirmative! I grin widely

Happy for you Jace! He yells walking out

Remembering I promised to call her, I pick my phone while laying on bed

KIMBERLY

I walk out of my walk in closet to see my phone vibrate on the bedstand then stops

Staring me in the face is six missed calls from Jace

I quickly get into bed making myself comfortable, before returning the call which got picked up after the first ring

Hi! I speak unsure of what to say

I thought you are still running from me considering how you left work avoiding every reason to see me before leaving

He teases getting me all heated up remembering I said yes to courtship

I was actually having a late bath and the phone happens to be on silent mode; I am sorry! Totally unsure of why I am apologizing

You don't deny running home in avoidance to see me after work leaving all documents with Stacy huh?

Hmmm! No! I whisper shyly

I miss you, Kim! He chuckles

Gosh when did I become a pervert for men voice? No! Jace's voice

Well is it a business call, boss? I quickly change the topic remembering how many calls I missed from him

A business call can wait or better still be cancelled. It is a call from my yearning heart beating furiously to hear your honey like voice Kim

I feel everything stop for a moment for as much as it sound cheesy, it sounds rather romantic in my ears getting me flush red

Hmm...I... Noticing my brain isn't responding yet again

Jeez this is getting embarrassing

The night is not getting any younger so I better allow my Angel to get her beauty rest

Good night my Vida; he whispers hanging up leaving me speechless

Who would have guessed that the boss knows the art of flattery just as he knows the keys of his laptop? I giggle to my thought hiding under my duvet like a girl caught stealing candy

**************************

No! I laugh hard

Why can't you say you love me, Kim? Jace smiles placing his hand on my face

Hmm work harder Jace! I laugh out loud running away from him to realize I am in a beach but surprisingly no single soul was present aside from Jace and I

He chases me and catches me in no time pulling me down with him

I don't mind chasing after you till the rest of my life Kim; he smiles before laying me down and hovering over me

Jace! I whisper but couldn't make a sentence

What is it, Kim? He smiles coming closer with our faces just inches apart

Noth...nothing....I whisper scared to move as he is so close.

Thinking is becoming harder as i notice my brain was trying so hard not to shut down but all that became history as he places his lips on mine softly.

It took me a while to realize he is kissing me; I try to return the kiss not really knowing how to

Relax Kim! He smiles to my lips whispering "go with the flow babe"

In no time we are kissing like the lovebirds we are not knowing where I found the courage

I push his shoulders gently to take a breathe as I suddenly feel light headed

Breathe babe! He leans back stroking my hair

We walk hand in hand with no words whatsoever

Babe! Are you ok? He panics noticing how quiet I have been since the kiss

Yeah! I manage out

Babe, did I hurt you? He presses all scared

No! I mean... I Swiftly pull his head down while tip toeing placing a kiss on his lips

He picks me up making my legs automatically enclose themselves on his waist

I feel his hands on my bum squeezing softly making me gasp

He takes the opportunity inserting his tongue in my mouth

In no time he dominates my tongue kissing me passionately

Angel! He pulls back remembering I have to catch my breathe grinning widely

I shyly lay my head on his shoulder eyes close relishing on our moment when ...

Clinkkkkkkkk..... My alarm goes off

I jolt up at the sound to see myself in my room

No Jace! No Beach! No Kiss! Then it dawned on me.....

What a dream!!!!!!!!!!
