Chapter 24: I Like It ^ ^

Jenna woke up to use the bathroom. She sleep walked to find her way to the toilet door when she bumped her head on the wall.

"Ouch!."she whispered rubbing her hand on her head. Her eyes were clear now so she walked into the toilet.

She came out feeling relieved then she walked to the bed and sat up. She turned her face to her left to see how Arnold slept. His head was up facing the ceiling and his arm was above his head.

She stared at those tempting pink lips then she had the movie kissing scene images from last night .

Something was drawing her to his body like a magnetic. She tried so hard to resist but no she couldn't. She wanted to feel that sparks she felt when he kissed her mistakenly.

She slowly moved to him and she was now closed to his face. Her body was warm and her heart was pounding.

She didn't know how he'd react to that but all she wanted was to feel his lips on hers.

She patted his head and ran her fingers through his lovely hair. She did it softly so he wouldn't notice. Her eyes went up to his lashes that fell on his face. He was so beautiful with his eyes closed. She studied every item that was on his face not holding back she closed her eyes then leaned in and pressed her lips on his soft lips.

There was the sparks again. She slowly opened her eyes to see Arnold staring at her and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

She couldn't move. She just kept looking into his eyes as if they had paused her. She expected an angry glare but his eyes were normal and he was calm.

He didn't say a word he just stared at her face. Then to her lips and her eyes again.

She turned her face away and played with her fingers.

"Why did you stop?." His charming eyes beamed.

"Why wasn't he angry?". She said to herself.

"I..I'm sorry." She didn't look at him. She was so embarrassed and she felt her cheek burn.

"You don't need to. I didn't mind." He said calmly.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have." She looked down to her hand.

"I liked it." He smirked. She turned to look at him surprised.

"Mm..I..I'd just go downstairs to.. Prepare me..I mean to Mop the wall. Sorry I'd just go."

She didn't even know what she was saying. She just left the room.

Arnold couldn't help but let out a short chuckle.

"What was wrong with her?." He said to himself.

Jenna walked downstairs to see that the maids already served food on the table. She walked to the Dinning table to put the plates and cutleries in place.

When she was done with that she went to Arnold's room to arrange a warm bath for him.

He was already there seated on the bed. She didn't say a word to him cause of the awkward situation earlier so she just arranged his warm bath.

She slowly bathe him while he kept staring at her and she couldn't help but remembered about what happened few minutes ago.

Why did she do a thing like that? He was her boss she was wrong to had done that.

The worse part of it all is that she couldn't look him in the eye now.

She tried hard not to cause he kept shooting glances at her and it somehow made her heart flutter and cheeks burn.

The way he was looking at her now was so different. She still wondered why she felt sparks when she kissed Arnold but didn't feel the same with Ace.

Ace had been with her since forever and she just met Arnold. What was it that made her feel different about him?

He was a strange and dark man that people feared but why wasn't she scared of him? Why did she see him different? Why wasn't she happy when he asked her to leave despite she missed Granny.

What had he done to her? She had began to do things she had never thought of doing. Was she falling for him????

No it can't be. She didn't even know this man.

It's true she didn't know him but one thing she knew was that he was changing. He smiled frequently not always though but he did at least. He never for once smiled at her when she arrived newly.

He was so cold and.. she didn't know how to describe how he was.

She had forgotten all about Ace when he left and now he's back she realized she didn't like him anymore.

What was on with her?.

Arnold got dressed and came downstairs for Breakfast. Jenna was already there putting out food for him in a plate.

He was quiet and he ate little. She got his jacket and put it on him dusting it off before taking a step back.

"One more thing." She came close to him and adjusted his tie. Then her eyes caught his lips again. "Oh good lord why this temptation?." She said inwardly.

Arnold waited to see what she'd do next but she did nothing. She just stood stunned. She could hear her heart racing as she was so close to his chest.

"What are you waiting for?." He whispered with a grin.

She came back to reality and was now looking at him. He put his arm around her waist and drew her more close to his hard chest.

"I.." she stuttered.

"You're shy now but you had the courage to kiss me earlier Jenna." He sneered.

"I'm sorry I did that." She kept her gaze low

"I liked it. You're a good kisser but I don't want you to turn bad." He held her chin and made her face him.

"Turn bad?." She repeated with a knotted brow and struggled to look into his eyes.

He leaned in as if wanted to kiss her. "Oh god" she closed her eyes with her lips set then he whispered.

"You should know what I mean." He released his arm off her waist and she took a step back.

He grinned and walked out of the door leaving her speechless.
