Chapter 11

For the past days I have always been with Jade and he’s really annoying especially his taste in music, and the way he talk makes me that he’s boastful and he knows he’s handsome and that the girls are drooling over him and he must that I’m one of those girls like no freaking way.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I’m not even looking at you.” I cross my legs and arms as I lean on my chair.

We’re here at their yacht as he wants to show off the greatness of their private island… see? Boastful.

“You’re looking at me like you want to kill me.” He pouted and put on his sunglasses while brushing his hair up… again, boastful, and is he trying to seduce me? Because if he is it’s not working and it’s making me want to jump of the ocean that be with him in this freaking huge yacht that can fit a hundred of people… and it’s just the two of us with three other staff including the person driving this thing.

“Good thing you know.” I whispered that I think he heard because he’s looking at me seriously now.

He sigh and sat next to me that made me raise my brows and move a little to get away with him but he hold my arms to stop me… and for some reason my heart is beating fast, this is different… he’s being weird.

“Why do you hate me? I know you’re just force from this union but so am I. I don’t know anything about you other than the fact that you’re your parents’ daughter and you’re the successor of their business… but other than that you’re a mystery to me and as much as I want to get away from this union I also want to get to know you.”

I was stunned to his words that I couldn’t move. I didn’t know that he felt that way and I don’t know what to say.

“Why are you being like this>” I whispered as I gulp.

“Because you’re either avoiding me or fighting with me… we’re kids but we’re not immature, Kate. We need to talk about this things because if we are to be married I don’t want silence when we don’t agree on something. I want to solve it and talk about it.”

“You’re thinking ahead of yourself.” I can’t look at his way… and he’s hands are still holding my arms that making me bite my lips.

“We’re not doing this because of the now Kate, you know that. We’re here together because of our future… so just tell me if you want to stop this because I’ll tell my parents that I wouldn't marry you.”

“I hope it’s that easy… my dad will kill me. He wants this because your business is bigger than us and this is his way of expanding his hard earned business… it’s more important that me… so it’s not easy. Maybe for you it is but for me? It’s not.”

“Then? Choose now… or lose the chance to decide.”

“Fine.” He raised his brows asking me what I meant. “Fine, I’ll get to know you.” He smirk at that and nodded feeling satisfied.

True to my words… I try to get to know him despite me finding things that annoys me I also found things about him that amaze me… and we kind of have a lot in common that’s really unexpected.

“So how are you finding the place dear? We visit here every year during summer time, you know unwind and for a little forget about work and bond with the kids.” Jade’s mom said.

“It’s really nice. It’s serene and peaceful… the quiet is calming.”

“That’s wonderful.” She seems satisfied and I smiled at that.

Their private island is wonderful and I feel like I’m living an imagined place expect everything around here is real and he has a wonderful parents. Even his dad which was unexpected. He also has a sister that I really love, we clicked despite the two year gap and she’s like a mini version of me which is really cute.

But another news, I’ll be staying here for a week… my parents agreed to it… I even think that it’s their idea and instead of complaining I’ll take this as an opportunity to get away from dad… and aunt Marie.

One thing I learn from Jade is that he’s passionate from their business and in such a young age he knows what’s happening in their business and I even think that he’s already working there when he has the time. His bond with his family especially with his sister is making me rethink of what I think of him… a boastful and good for nothing guy.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Why do you keep asking me that question?” He laughed.

He’s currently showing me around their house… more like a mansion in a deserted island. It’s weird because it’s been a day since we got here but we still haven’t tour the house, it’s just so big and I don’t think we can’t finish this tour… and I think I will be lost upon staying here for a week.

“Because I want to know what you’re thinking… especially when you’re making faces when we’re together.”

“What faces?!” I felt triggered… did he see my reactions that I try to hide? I’m a bit judgemental and I can’t help it… especially when he’s saying things that I don’t agree on.

“Oh you know.” He laughed. “stop changing the subject… why are you looking at me like that?”

I gulp and I know I’m going to regret saying this but I’ll say it anyway. “Because I think that you’re not as bad as I think you are.” He shake his head at that. “But of course I’m not falling for you… I’m not easily swayed for your information.”

“I’ll take not of that.” He smirk… and for the first time… I felt hope in this union… maybe he’s not that bad after all I was just scared because this would mean I’m letting go of him.
