Inside Jacob's SUV, the atmosphere is tense and Jacob doesn't like the silence.
It has been 30 minutes since they left and J hasn't said anything. She was silent throughout and never looked at him. Jacob knew that her silence was a bad omen. He cannot keep it that way. She'll explode.
"Honey, come on. Speak up." Jacob can't take it so he breaks the silence.
"Seriously Jacob Parker? Flirting in front of me?" J burst out in anger which made Jacob startled.
"Okay, Honey, for the record. I did not flirt with her." Jacob said as calmly as he could be.
"Oh really!" J smirked at him. "So you wouldn't mind her calling you anything, like Honey, Sweetheart, Love? Isn't that called flirting?"
Jacob laughed. "Sorry about that, Honey. I didn't mean it that way." He knew that when he said that Senator Paz can call him whatever suits her it might sound like he is flirting but he just can't find a word to say then.
