Being close to him

Courtney and Lily were surprised see Jacky with Oliver. they was complete silence until Jacky cold voice spoke Where are you going

Courtney kept quiet but Lily smiled and replied. we are going to the mall

Why don't I take you there. he asked not smiling or frowning. Hearing those words Courtney flinched and spoke quickly. no, thank you

Yes, you can gladly help us, said Lily happily and hit only on the arm. Courtney looked at her friend angry and scared.

Oliva looked at Jacky but he didn't stare at her but Courtney who was scared to stare at him. Lily opened the car door for them. Courtney stood there and Lily pulled her into the car.

Jacky started driving the car. He looked at Courtney through the car mirror but Courtney stared down. Oliva disrupted the silence.

I would love to go to the mall also, she said. Courtney looked at Oliva without any impression. why, I thought you said you wanted to go to your house

yeah but I am hearing rumours I kinda look like a girl in the car so I need some make up, she said insulting Courtney indirectly.

Jacky breathed out and drove all his way to the mall. He came out of the car and walked the other way. Oliva smiled thinking he would opened the car door for her but he walked past her and opened the car for Courtney who was scared but didn't show the impression.

He came out and looked at him but he was taller than her. he didn't smile at her but just looked cold and fierce to her and she bowed down again.

They entered the mall and Courtney was surprised seeing the mall. it was huge and has different categories. they moved to the top floor where the best dresses were sold.

Courtney looked at the dresses and loved them. She moved next to Lily. we can't buy this

don't worry, we will manage, Lily said admiring the clothes.

Olivia had already picked some dresses and went to the shoe store. Courtney found a cloth that she liked. She took it out and looked at the price tag. It was quite expensive and she kept it immediately. Jacky noticed her and smiled.

She checked another dress and as expected dropped it. few minutes they were done. they went to the cashier to calculate they amount.

They first calculated Olivia clothes and accessories and she paid and boosted.

Courtney, where are your dress, you didn't buy anything, Lily asked surprised at her friend empty hand.

the things here are quite expensive

Next, said the cashier and Lily brought her dresses next. Lily brought out her credit card. when they cashed her dresses she looked at the amount and breathed out in regret.

Jacky placed a shopping bag and gave it to the cashier who wanted to clear the errors. he gave the cashier his card. she did the process and gave him the card admiring his face.

They walked out of the mall. Courtney felt odd as been the only one empty handed but she heard the voice again. take, Jacky said handing her the bag.

She looked at him and then the bag and at him confused. when he noticed how confused she was. he explained to her. you didn't buy anything, so take from me to you

She blinked thrice and looked at Lily who nodded for her to accept. She couldn't believe her friend expression.

She gulped and collected the shopping bag. She opened it and peeped into it. she held five shopping bag and was surprised.

Jacky, why did you do that, asked Olivia who has been handling her anger but couldn't keep cool anymore after what happened.

Jacky didn't respond and walked into the car. Oliva glared at Courtney and also walked away. Lily grabbed her friend hand and smiled. am so happy

Don't be, you know this is your fault, if you didn't let us go to the mall, I would never have met him today. Courtney said expressing her anger to Lily who continued smiling as they walked to the car.

They was complete silence until Oliva spoke. Jacky I would like you to visit me. she asked him because she wanted to rub it on Courtney face when he answer for yes.

no, Jacky responded straight forward and the car stopped. Olivia looked through the mirror and noticed she was at her home. She looked at Jacky but he continued looked through the way.

She got upset and got out and closed it angrily. She walked over the car to her gate. thanks, she said and luckily Jacky looked at her and nodded with a little smile.

He continued driving to Courtney and Lily home. no one spoke until they arrived. Courtney quickly got out of the car. Lily smiled seeing her friend behaviour and got out.

Lily walked to the door and wanted to unlock it but her phone rang. she looked at the caller and smiled realising it was her uncle. she responded and gave Courtney the door.

She put the phone away from her hear. I Courtney, open the door, she said and walked away to answer the call.

why did she has to leave, asked Courtney who had the car and turned to see Jacky out of the car. she tried opening the door but had problem with her shopping bag that one of it fell down. Jacky walked to her and helped her with her bag. she tried stopping him but he didn't stop. he helped her carry everything shopping bag.

she finally opened the door and they both entered into it. a thought struck her. She saw Jason looking at the house with a normal expression, which got her embarrassed. he isn't used to this house, he must be degrading it.

She turned back not noticing he was really close to her. due to they closeness, she panicked and hit her leg on the other and wanted to fall only to be caught by a familiar smell and body
