A Night with Mr Arrogant (EP 38)

Episode 38

Right from my childhood everything that I had were taken from me, so I made a vow to myself that I will never let that happen ever again, Jackson said in a very low tune.

So he won’t give any guy chance to take Mirabel.

“I…. I…” I’m short of words.

I don’t know why I feel guilty every time I do something that Jackson doesn’t approve of.

It’s always like I owe him explanations, why?.

He turn to Paul and takes the box from him.

“Paul, you can go” he said.

Paul runs out as if his pants is on fire.

Jackson walks towards me, he stops right in front of me, our chest touching.

He leans down and whisper in my ear.

“I’ll let this slide, but I don’t want to see you hanging out with other men” he said.

Is that it? Is he not gonna yell at me?

He stands straight and look at me waiting for my reply.

I nod my head stiffly.

“And also, no more revealing clothes. I want you to burn all your clothes”

” Why?” I blunt out.

” Because I don’t like them” he said.

“Then what am I gonna wear?”

“Don’t worry I’ll fill your wardrobe” he said.

He hands the box to me.

” So about what I asked you this morning, are you going with me?” He asks.

Lizzy's words replay in my mind. I have to get close to him and win his trust, before I can know what his secrets are.

“Yes, I will.. I said.

He smiles.

“Good. I swear you’re not gonna regret this”

Well I hope so.

“Go and get changed into the dress in the box” he said.

My eyes grows wide.

“You bought me a new dress?”

He nod. He hands me a small bag, I open it and saw silver shoes.

“Thanks. Then I’ll go get changed now” I said and head upstairs.

I don’t think I’ll have time to bath, I just wash my face and change into the dress straight away.

I sit on my dresser and apply a little red lipstick on my lips. I make my eyebrows a little darker and apply mascara on my eyelashes.

That’s all I know how to do.

I wore the silver pump. Then I look at myself up in the mirror.

I look wow! I could hardly recognize m

Episode 37

” Let’s not rush into anything for now, buddy” I said.

“No problem, I can wait” he said.

I turn to him, he winks at me.

I shake my head.

“Anyway, I have lots of work to do, I’ll call you later” I said.

I can’t let him know I’m having dinner with Jackson, right?.

“Okay. I’ll wait to hear your voice later” he said..

I open the door and step out, I wave him good bye until his car is out of sight.

I hurried inside the compound and head towards the main door. I can quickly get ready before Jackson gets back from the office.

I step into the living room and head upstairs, but a voice stops me.

“Did you have fun?” Mirabel?.

I turn around slowly, like how it’s done in the movies. Lol.

I saw Jackson standing with his hands tucked in his pockets, he’s glaring daggers at me, well my bare shoulder to be precise.

Paul is standing next to him, shaking in fear.

Paul is holding a small box in his hands. Hmm. I wonder what’s inside the box.

I laugh nervously.

“Jackson, you’re home early” I said.

He narrows his eyes.

“Where are you coming from?” He asked.

Uh-oh. I’m not sure he’s gonna let this go.

” Where are you coming from?” he asked again.

I hesitate, and bites my lips. 

His eyes flick to my lips and lingers there for a minute, he should be the one biting those lips

He shake the thought from his head.

“I went out to have lunch” I said.

His eyes move to my bare shoulders, her tan skin glittering.

Then he realized that other guys must have been staring at her like he's doing right now.

“You went out dressed like this?” he asked through gritt teeth.

Right from my childhood everything that I had were taken from me, so I made a vow to myself that I will never let that happen ever again, Jackson said in a very low tune.

So he won’t give any guy chance to take Mirabel.

“I…. I…” I’m short of words.

I don’t know why I feel guilty every time I do something that Jackson doesn’t approve of. I always feel like I owe him an explanation.

Episode 36

Then we start to eat. I close my eyes to savour the taste of this hot pot, it’s sooo good.

Within the twinkling of an eye, we’ve finish everything in the bowl.

Victor open the wine and pours it into our glasses. I take a sip from my glass, and put it back on the table.

“I’m so full, Victor. You might have to carry me out” I said.

“Oh, I’d love that” he replies.

We both laugh.

“So, who is Mirabel?” He asked.

I take a deep breath.

“Well, I’m just me. I used to stay in Texas with my best friend, Lizzy. And you’re so going to love her, she’s the best best friend ever. Anyway, I moved here to work and save some money for some necessity” I said.

You know, I can’t possibly tell him that I’m here to uncover Jackson Mark’s secret.

“Hmm, that’s nice. How about you come work for me?” He asks.

“Nah. I’m good with my current job” I said.

We laughed.

” Victor, it’s your turn. Who are you” I asked.

He clears his throat.

“Well, I’m Victor Sunny. I’m the CEO of Sunny and sons. I’m 28, and I live on my own. And most importantly, I am looking for true love” he look in my eyes. “But maybe I’ve found it already” he said.

I smirk at him tryna flirt with me.

” Nice” I said.

Then it was silent for a moment, before I broke the silence.

“I wanna tour this city. Can you be my tour guide?” I asked.

“At your service” he said.

He stands up and offers me his hand. He places some money on the table and we head out.

We left the restaurant and Tyler starts to drive around LA.

We visited the sunset Boulevard, we also visited Griffith observatory and Griffith Park, the Getty center and Santa Monica pier and beach.

After getting enough touring for one day, I decide it’s time to head home.

I check the time on my phone, it’s 6:31pm. I didn’t know I have spent this so much time, you know what they say, time fly by when you’re having fun.

Right now, we’re outside Jackson’s mansion gate.

“Victor, I have a lot of fun today. Thanks for taking me out”

Episode 35

I smile and wave bye at him, then I head towards the gate. I step out of the compound and see Victor standing next to his car, patiently waiting for me.

“Wow! You look dazzling!” He said.

“Thanks. You don’t look bad yourself” I reply.

He spread his arms and I went in for a brief hug, then he kiss me on the cheeks. He opens the door for me.

“My lady!” He did a funny now and gestures his hand for me to enter..

” Thank you, my kind sir” I enter the car and he close the door.

He went round and enter the driver’s seat.

“So, where are we going, Victor?” I asked.

“We are going to one of the best spots in LA!”

“Sweeeeet! Let’s go” I said excited.

He starts the car and drove off.

After driving for a few minutes, we arrive at a fancy restaurant.

*Golden Hour* boldly written on the gate.

Victor drives in and park in the parking lot. He opens the door for me and I step out.

We enter the restaurant, Victor leads me to a table close to a window.

This restaurant is really fancy, thank God I’m dressed like this, or I’d totally be different and be the weirdo here.

“Victor, this place really look nice. I can never afford a bottle of water here, it’s a good thing I came with you. You have to pay for me today, then another day, I’ll take you to a restaurant I can afford and pay you back” I blab.

Victor laughs.

” Does this mean we are doing this again?” He asked.

“Hmmm, maybe” I said.

“I’ll be looking forward to it” he reply.

He wave his hand and a waiter comes over.

“Welcome to Golden Hour sir, ma’am. How can we serve you today?” The waiter asked.

” We’ll like to have your best wine and my favorite dish” Victor tells him.

” Alright sir, I’ll be back in a few minutes” then he left.

I guess Victor do come here often.

This place isn’t name Golden Hour for nothing, it really implies its name.

Victor and I waited for more than twenty minutes, before the waiter finally showed up with our order.

Episode 34

Just then Jackson saw the perfect dress, it’s a red gown.

Though, it’s plain and simple, but it’s elegant.

It makes me think of her nightie, seeing her in it this morning was torture to me.

This dress will look good on her. Jackson show it to Bright

“Look. This is the one” he said.

“Yeah, I can already picture her in it” Bright said.

“Don’t!” Jackson scold him. “Stop picturing her in your head”

“Yes, boss” he said.

“Good. Now order for this gown, it should be delivered to the mansion” Jackson told him.

” Ok… ” Then he start to type on his laptop..

Jackson smile as he pictured Mirabel in the red dress. She look perfect in my imagination.

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

*Mirabel's mansion*

The sound of the alarm clock blaring angrily waking me up from my sweet nap. I didn’t bother checking time, I quickly dash into my bathroom.

After taking my bath, I wrap my Dora the explorer towel around my chest.

You know, I’m obsessed with Dora the explorer. I enter my closet and take out my white, off shoulder jumpsuit, and put it on.

I take out my white sneakers and puts it on.

I love sneakers, cause as the name implies I can easily sneak up on people.

I apply a little lipgloss on my lips, and a little mascara to my eyelashes.

Then comb my hair, and leave it to fall back on my shoulders. I need to look good, who knows, I might caught someone’s eyes out there.

As soon as I’m done getting ready, my phone beeped. It’s a text from Victor.

Victor:- I’m at your gate, Pretty. Looking forward to seeing you.

I smile at the text. I grab my purse and head out.

I met Paul outside, he’s trimming the flowers.

“Hey, Paul. I’ll be out for a few minutes” I told him.

“No problem. You're looking good” he said.

“Thanks. I’ll be back soon”

“You take your time, enjoy” he winks at me.

I smile and wave bye at him, then I head towards the gate. I step out of the compound and see Victor standing next to his car, patiently waiting for me.

Episode 32

I sat at the living and decide to call Lizzy and ask of her opinion, because, I’m honestly confused. I’ve already agreed to have dinner with Victor, now Jackson is asking me out too.

I dialed Lizzy’s number and wait for her to pick up.

“Hi, Lizzy!. Finally you called me, I thought he might killed you. Phew! Thank God you are alive” she blabs.

I chuckled. Best friends are crazy, right?.

“So what did you find?” She asks me.

“I haven’t find anything yet, I only know that he doesn’t go to bed without his meds. And he gets nightmares, very frightening ones” I told her.

“Good, that’s a start. I need you to get closer to him, maybe you’ll find out more” she paused. “But how can we get you closer to him?”.

“I don’t know. Anyway let’s forget about that for now, I want your opinion on something”

“What’s that?” She asked.

I clear my throat.

“I have two dinner invitations. One is from a friend I made here, and the other is from Jackson Mark. I don’t kn…. ”

” Wait!” She interupts me. “Did you just say Jackson Mark?” She asks.

I nod, then I remember that she can’t see me.

” Yes” I said.

” You have to go with Jackson!”

” Why?”

” What do you mean why? It’s the perfect opportunity for you to get closer to him, it’ll make it much easier to find out his secrets!” She explained.

Thinking about it, I think what she suggests actually make much sense.

If I want to know what his secrets are, then I need to become friends with him.

Why didn’t I think of this before? Hm. Maybe because I’m too dumb.

Whatever!.

“Ok. Thank you, Lizzy”

“No, thank you. You are the one risking your life for me, you are the one trying to save my career. So thank you” she said.

I smile. I’m just happy knowing I’ll be saving lives by doing this.

“I’ll talk to you later” I said and hang up.

I think about Victor. This is the third time he’s asking me out, but I keep denying him, I can’t continue to do that all the time.

Maybe I should call him and reschedule our dinner, maybe change it to lunch, so that I can have lunch with him instead.

Episode 31

This will do for now.

I’m about to head out when my phone begin to ring. It’s Victor calling.

Me:- Victor! Good morning.

Victor:- Good morning, beauty. I was hoping we could have dinner tonight? Please don’t say no, I really wanna get to know you better.

Our plan of having lunch was cancelled yesterday, so having dinner with him today can make up for it.

After all, I also want to know him more.

Me:- Alright. Cool.

Victor:- Yes! Be ready by 7pm. I’ll pick you up.

Me:- No problem.

I hang up and head downstairs. When I get there, they’ve already finish their pancakes. How long was I in there?

Jackson access my clothing and nod approvingly.

“Much better” Jackson said.

I turn to Bright, he’s looking at something on his phone.

“Bright, what do you think. Do you prefer this to my red nightie?”

Before Bright could answer, Jackson growled.

” You don’t need his opinion!” He said.

Hmm. What is wrong with him? Weirdo.

Bright stands up and whisper something into Jackson’s ear. Then he turn to me and send me a wink, then he hurrys out.

Jackson stands up and head upstairs to get dressed for work.

I pack the plates and take them back to the kitchen. I begin to wash them, after washing and drying them.

I turn to go to the living room, when my face meets with a hard wall.

No, sorry. It was Jackson's chest.

“Ouch, Jackson. You almost broke my nose with your hard chest” I blunt out before I could stop myself.

” Sorry. But I wanna tell you something” he said.

“What?” I asked.

I see his neck and ears turn red, he scratched the back of his neck nervously.

This is the first time I’m seeing Jackson Mark getting nervous like this. Now I’m curious about what he wants to say.

“You..I..” he paused. “Can you have dinner with me, tonight?”

What? Oh no!

This can’t be happening now.

I open my mouth to say something, but he interupts me.

“You don’t have to answer me now, I’ll give you from now till 6pm to make up your mind” he said. “Please take care of yourself till then”

Without another word he left.

Jackson Mark is asking me to have dinner with him?

This is huge! But I already agree to Victor’s request, oh no.

What should I do now?

Episode 30

“I.. I.. I think…” Jackson pause and look at him. Bright raises his eyebrows urging him to continue. “I think I’m in love with her”

“Oh my bloody dick” He exclaims and jump up from his chair. “I knew it!” He sits back down. “So, are you gonna tell her?”

“Tell her what?” Jackson asked.

He lowers his voice.

“About your past” he said.

I shake my head.

“No!”

“But if you two become a couple, you’ll have to tell her sooner or later”

“It’ll be later. I need to be sure that she won’t leave me when she knows about it, I can’t afford to lose her. I need to make sure she can handle the truth about me” Jackson said.

Bright thinks about it for some minutes, then he nods in agreement.

“So when are you going to ask her out?” He asks.

“Do I need to rush in that?” Jackson asked.

He opens his mouth and look at me in disbelief.

” Jackson, you need to rush the process. What if some other guy ask her out?. And let me remind you, Mirabel is the finest of God’s creations” he pause and look behind if I'm coming.

When he’s sure I'm not, he continues.

“She’s got all the curves in the right place, she’s got nice short legs, big ass, full breast…. ” Jackson smack the back of his head.

” I said stop checking her out!” Jackson growled at him.

I don’t like when guys check out Mirabel, I’m selfish, I know, Jackson said.

“All I’m saying is that if I can see how sexy… I mean, how beautiful she is, then other guys can too. So don’t waste anymore time” Bright said.

He’s right though. And I’m the kind of person who takes what he wants, and Mirabel is who I want, Jackson said.

“If I ask her out on dinner tonight, wouldn’t it be too forward of me?” Jackson asked.

“No! Even the Bible says for the kingdom of God suffers violence and the vi… ”

” Okay, I get it Bright” Jackson interrupted him.

” Good, after breakfast I’ll wait for you in the car while you ask her. Don’t screw this up” he said.

I frown.

” Am I still your boss?”

He laughs nervously..

“Don’t temper with my paycheck, Jackson!” He said.

“It’s a good thing we still know our places”

“You are no fun” Bright said an huff, he cross his arms across his chest and starts to sulk.

Jackson laugh at his childish behavior. This is just how our relationship work.

Finally my job is done, this dumb head has finally accept his feelings.

Hmm, I think I should be a matchmaker, Bright said.

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

Mirabel's Room

  I changed into a tank top and my cute Dora the explorer sweatpants. I observe myself in front of my mirror and smiled satisfactory.

This will do for now.

I’m about to head out when my phone begin to ring. It’s Victor calling.

He raised his brows at me with a frown, then I realized my mistake.

“Jackson ! I mean, Jackson” I said.

“Good” he said and step out. “let’s go”

We head downstairs. Just when I’m about to serve the pancakes, Bright walks in.

He smiles when he sees me and whistles, accessing my nightie.

“Forget about breakfast, Sweetheart, you look yummy!!” Bright said and lick his lips.

Jackson turns his head to my direction, his gaze harden when he sees my nightie.

My nightie is a short, red, see through, tight gown.

It barely covers my butts, but I’m wearing a small, red tight underneath.

With the two of them looking at me, I become aware of how inappropriate my nightie actually is.

Jackson stands up and smack Bright on his head.

“Ouch! What was that for?” Bright cries dramatically and rubs his head.

Bright is so childish sometimes, I couldn’t help the giggle that escape my mouth.

Jackson flash me a harsh glare and I shut my mouth instantly.

“Go and change, Mirabel!” He commands.

Well, you don’t have to tell me twice. I quickly run upstairs to change.

Jackson wait until I'm out of sight, then he turned to James and glare at him. He sit back in his chair and put his arms across his chest.

“Bright, can you stop flirting with Mirabel?”

Bright who sat on the chair next to Jackson smirk.

“And why should I?” He replied looking at Jackson expectantly, like he is waiting for him to say something he wants to hear..

Jackson knows Bright can see through him, he isn’t his best friend for nothing.

Infact, they're no longer friends, they are brothers.

So he knows what Jackson is thinking even without saying, but that bastard wants him to say it.

Jackson look at him with narrowed eyes.

“You want me to say it, right?” Jackson asked.

“Bingo, Jackson Mark is the winner!” He exclaims with a smug Expression.

I clear my throat, and swallow nervously.

“I.. I.. I think…” Jackson pause and look at him. Bright raises his eyebrows urging him to continue. “I think I’m in love with her”

Episode 28

“I.. I.. you were having a nightmare. I’m sorry” I said.

I stand up to leave, but he quickly pull me back.

He rest his head on my chest, my face warm up, because his head is resting on my breast.

But I quickly shake that thought from my head.

“Please stay with me. I need you” he said in a broken voice.

He sounds so vulnerable. His whole body is shaking as if he just saw the most scariest thing ever.

“Don’t go please. Stay by my side tonight?” He plead.

” Ok”

” You’ll sleep on this bed, by my side?”

“Yes, I will” I said.

I feel him smile.

I can’t just leave him alone, I think whatever he saw in that nightmare is what happened to him.

Maybe this has something to do with his cold nature.

I must find out what it is…..

_________________________________

I woke up badly wanting to use the bathroom. I tried getting up, but I felt something pulling me back.

I looked down and saw his arm wrapped around my waist, his head still laying on my chest. I look around and noticed I’m still in his room.

I must have fallen asleep last night and forgot to go back to my room.

I look at the small alarm clock on the nightstand next to Jackson's bed, it’s 4:49am.

Shoot! My eyes grows wide. I’m so gonna get fired, why did I oversleep?.

I gently removed Jackson's arm and rush downstairs, towards the kitchen. I forget about using the bathroom.

What can I cook to meet up the time?

After much thought, I decided to make buttermilk pancakes.

When I’m done, I set it on the table and head upstairs to wake Jackson up.

I knock on the door and wait for him to answer. After some minutes, he opens his door, he’s already taken his bath, but not yet dressed for work.

He’s just wearing a white T-shirt and his sweatpants..

“Breakfast is ready, sir”

He raised his brows at me with a frown, then I realized my mistake.

“Jackson ! I mean, Jackson” I said.

“Good” he said and step out. “let’s go”..

Episode 27

But I really want her…. I’m so confused. I don’t know what to do.

Should I just give in to this feelings?

Everyone that is close to me always leave me behind, except Bright, what if she leaves me too?

Jackson closes his eyes and rest his head back on the sofa.

I’ll just give in let me see how far I can go, he said.

But I must protect my past, or she might leave if she finds out about it. He glance at the clock, it’s 9:00pm.

I guess it’s time for bed. He climb into his bed and close his eyes.

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

 Waking up to a loud bang and thud, I sit on my bed and hear Jackson’s voice screaming.

Then it clicked in my head, I forgot to give him his meds!

How careless of me.

I quickly jump down from my bed and run to his room, I push the door open and enter without knocking.

I saw Jackson kicking and banging his head on the headboard of his bed.

“No dad! I’m sorry, it’s my fault! Dad please!” He is chanting.

He is having a nightmare! And from what I’m seeing, this nightmare is what happened to him.

“Mom stay! Don’t go! Mom wake up! Wake up, I promise to be good! Mom! Dad, Mom, dad… Dad!” He continues shouting.

What should I do?

I climb into his bed and cradled him to my chest, gently patting his back. He grip my hand as if his life depended on it.

“Emelda, Emelda wake up! Mom, Emelda. Mom!”

What can I do to help him wake up?

Now I know why he needs those meds every night, it’s because of his nightmares.

I shake him to wake up, and whisper his name in his ear but he didn’t wake up.

How can I help him wake up?.

After much thought, I put my lips on his, and begin to move against his lip slowly.

Soon he stops shouting and he slowly open his eyes.

He looks at me surprise, I guess he’s wondering what I’m doing in his room at this hour.

“I.. I.. you were having a nightmare. I’m sorry” I said.

I stand up to leave, but he quickly pull me back.

A Night with Mr Arrogant (episode 26)

Episode 26

It’s almost like he’s pouring all his emotions into the kiss, the kiss is full of longing.

But longing for what?

I close my eyes and savour the moment, I let him take control of the kiss. I feel his hand go under my crop top, he cups my br**st.

Then he uses his other hand to carry me on his lap.

He moves from my lip to my neck, sucking on it greedily. I couldn’t help the moan that left my mouth.

“Jackson…”

He continues his attack on my neck, until he hits my soft spot and I gasp for air. I choke on my moan.

“Jackson…”

His hand move to unclip my bra. That’s when I come to my senses, I made a mistake once, now I’m about to make it happen again.

No I can’t, I shouldn’t.

I’m on a mission, I’m here to help my best friend not seek pleasure. I hold his hand and stand up from his lap quickly.

“I’m s-sorry” I said.

He furrows his brows.

“What happened? Was I too fast?” He asks.

I shake my head, tears forming up in my eyes.

“I can’t, so sorry” then I run out of his room straight to my room and lock the door against me. I fall on the ground and begin to cry.

What is wrong with me?. Why is my body craving for his touch? When I first had sxx with him, I didn’t know he was the Jackson Mark.

But now that I know who he is, I can’t bear to do this with him.

Thinking about the lives I’m helping Lizzy take revenge for, I begin feeling guilty.

I can’t be selfish, I will keep my distance and uncover his secrets as fast as I could.

*INSIDE JACKSON'S ROOM*

I honestly don’t know why I kissed Mirabel. I was surprised at my action, I don’t understand myself anymore, Jackson said.

I know I like her, I can’t be with her. But why is it that I don’t like it when she talk to other guys?

And why do I always want to have her around me?. I can’t be with her, I don’t do relationships. If I be with her I might hurt her, he said.

But I really want her…. I’m so confused. I don’t know what to do.

Should I just give in to this feelings?

Episode 25

I wonder what his punishment is, then I sat at other edge of the sofa. Jackson smiles and shake his head, then he reaches out and pull me closer to him.

“Are you hungry?” He asked me.

Why is he being sweet to me? I'm aware that he destroys lives without second thoughts, so why haven’t he destroy mine?.

“Mirabel?”

“Huh”

“I asked if you’re hungry?” He asks again.

I shake my head.

“I’m not, I’m still full” I said.

Just then my stomach see it as the perfect opportunity to embarrass me, it growls loudly and Jackson smiles, raising his brows at me.

“Ok, maybe I’m a little hungry” I said.

He takes a spoonful of salad and brings it to my mouth.

“No, sir. I can feed myself” I said.

“I know. Just let me, please”

I nod and open my mouth. He puts the salad and I chew it, he watches me with… Pride? Pride of what?.

“Aren’t you gonna eat?” I asked.

“Yes. But after you are full” he said.

He continues to feed me, until I couldn’t have any. Then he start to eat the leftover.

I watch him eat until he finishes the salad. I pick the plates, but he stops me.

“Stay with me for a while” he said.

I nod and sits down. We continue to watch cartoons, different cartoons.

Which makes me wonder, why does he like cartoons so much? Even his movie collection is weird, only cartoons and kiddies songs.

Why?.

I think there’s more to Jackson Mark than the eyes meet, I’ll ask Bright about it tomorrow.

After watching three more cartoon, my eyes start to get heavy. I released a long yawn.

“Are you feeling sleepy?” Jackson ask.

“Yes, sir. I’ll…”

“I told you to stop calling me that” he said sounding annoyed.

“But sir… ”

” Damn it!”

Then he crashes his lips on mine, His lips move against mine.

His kiss wasn’t soft at all, it’s aggressive, greedy and demanding.

It’s almost like he’s pouring all his emotions into the kiss, the kiss is full of longing.

But longing for what?

A Night with Mr Arrogant (episode 24)

Episode 24

Halfway through, I hear the doorbell rings. I wipe my hand and rush there.

I open the door expecting to see someone, but I saw a lot of rose bouquet outside, Paul stands next to them.

He hands me a card.

“Paul, what are all this?” I asked.

“A hundred roses bouquets, it contains roses of different colors” he answered.

I jump happily and start to perceive as many as I can, taking in their fresh scent.

This so much better than that bouquet of flowers I received earlier.

I guess this is from Victor too. I check the card, and my mouth falls open.

How could this be? Him?

How is this possible? How can it be him? My smile falters.

Just then the door open and Jackson walks out, his hands tuck in his pocket.

“Do you like them?” He asked.

“Huh?”

“The roses, do you like them?” He asked.

“Y-yes” I answered.

He studies my face.

“But you’re not smiling like you did when you receive that bouquet of flowers” he said.

A grin spreads on my face. I can’t believe he would get me a bouquet of roses. I can’t imagine him ordering flowers, he’ll look cute.

“I’m smiling. Thank you, sir” I said.

He frown a little.

“New rule, don’t call me sir” he said.

“Oh, thanks Mr Mark”

” And that too” he said.

” Huh? What am I supposed to call you then?” I asked.

” Jackson”

” What?” I asked.

” Call me by my first name, Jackson!” He said.

” But aren’t you gonna fire me if I call you by your first name?. No you are looking for ways to fire me, right”

He laughs but quickly covers it with a cough.

No, I’m not going to fire you and I’m not looking for ways to. Just abide by any rules given by me or there might be….. Punishments!!” his eyes sparkle as he mentioned punishments.

I wonder what his punishments are gonna be like. Wait….I hope his punishments don’t involve torturing people to death.

I shudder at the thought.

But if I find out his punishments methods it can help Lizzy, it might be one of his secrets.

Yes!

A Night with Mr Arrogant (episode 23)

Episode 23

There at the door post, a bouquet of flowers lay on the ground. I pick it up and look at the card to know who the flowers are for.

They might be for Jackson, you know girls are crazy when it comes to who they love.

But the card has my name on it, I smile when I know the flowers are for me.

“At least someone appreciate my charms for once” I said.

I perceive it and breath in the fresh scent, then I smile in contentment.

Just then my phone starts ringing, I know it’s must be Victor calling to ask about the flowers.

I brought out my phone and I was right with my guess.

Me:- hey Victor, how are you doing?

Victor:- I’m good. Do you like the flowers?

Me:- yes! I love them.

Victor:- good. Then I know what to do more often. Tomorrow we’ll have dinner, ok?

Me:- yeah, no problem. Dinner sounds great.

Then I hang up, at that instant Jackson takes the flowers from me and throws them out the gate, across the street.

“Hey, does were mine!” I protest but it’s already too late.

“Well, not anymore. After all you don’t need them”

“Who said I don’t need them, they remind me that I at least have an admirer” I said.

“I said you don’t need them, and you already have an admirer!” He said.

A smile grows on my face when he said that, is it who I’m thinking?.

“I have? Who? Is it Bright?” I asked.

Bright is handsome and funny, I like him. Jackson growled lowly, and frowns at me.

“Not him!. New rule, don’t accept gifts from others. Especially guys!” He said and walks into the living room.

I follow behind.

“Wait…what? Is that even supposed to be a rule?” I asked.

“I just made it a rule” he look at his watch. “it’s already 4:50pm, just make me salad and bring it to my room” he said and marches upstairs to his room.

God this guy is so damn hard. And does he keeps adding new rules? Who does that?.

I sigh and start on with his salad.

Halfway through, I hear the doorbell rings. I wipe my hand and rush there.

A Night with Mr Arrogant (Episode 22)

Episode 22

Jackson looks at his watch and pack up his laptop. Then he stands up.

“Let’s go home” he said.

“Are you sure? Cause you still have a lot of work to do”

” Let’s. Go. Home” he said.

” Okay” I said.

He remove his jacket and hands it to me. He glares at me and I look at him confused, what have I done wrong.

“Put the damn jacket on. And next time don’t wear these pieces of cloth you call clothing!!” He said angrily.

Why is he getting angry now? His mood swings are really interesting.

I put on the jacket and I hear him whispers.

“Perfect!”

I pretend as if I didn’t hear him. I don’t want to provoke him more.

He takes my hand and leads me out of the office.

Stepping out of the elevator, we saw Bright talking with the receptionist, actually flirting with her.

“Woah, boss. Going somewhere?” He asks Jackson.

“I’m heading home” Jackson reply.

James turn to me.

” I know this guy almost killed you with boredom, right” I nod. He smiles. “Then I know just how to save you. How about I take you to a nice place, where you’ll see other cool guys”.

Jackson turnt to Bright in a flash at the mention of guys, I think I heard his neck crack.

“Or other cool girls” Bright quickly say.

“ Bright, we’re going home. I wanna see my office in a good shape tomorrow” Jackson said and without another word, he pulls me along with him.

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

The ride from his company back to the mansion, was a long, quiet and torturing one.

Finally, we made it to the mansion. I open his car door and step out. Then we head to the main door.

There at the door post, a bouquet of flowers lay on the ground. I pick it up and look at the card to know who the flowers are for.

They might be for Jackson, you know girls are crazy when it comes to who they love.

But the card has my name on it, I smile when I know the flowers are for me.

“At least someone appreciate my charms for once” I said.

A Night with Mr Arrogant (Episode 21)

Episode 21

“Jackson, if you want to eat, you could have called me. Why bother adding a new rule and stop Mirabel from going to her date. That guy was such a cute guy” Bright said.

Bright saw Mirabel telling the guy who drove her here to leave, the guy was somehow heartbroken from what he saw.

He saw Jackson from his perherial view, she’s looking at Mirabel curiously, probably wondering what his response will be.

Honestly, I am too, Bright said.

“That wasn’t a date! And he wasn’t cute!” Jackson said, gripping his pen tightly.

I'm leaving” then he dash off.

Now it’s just me and the vampire, I pray he doesn’t suck my blood. And drain the life out of me.

Jackson’s harsh gaze focus on me, I begin to shift from one foot to the other. Nervously playing with my fingers.

He carries the flask and goes to a sofa in his office.

Well he has a small area that looks like a sitting room. He sits on the sofa and gestures for me to come over.

I slowly and nervously walk towards him. He gestures for me to sit down and I did.

Then he gives me a spoon, I look at him, confused.

“Let’s eat” he said.

My eyes grow wide. Eat with him? No way!

“No, sir. I’m full” I said.

He narrows his eyes at me.

“Eat!” He commands.

I scoff mentally, can’t he ask me nicely. I just pray I find his secret quickly and leave.

He looks at me, as if waiting for me to start eating. Immediately I start eating, he does too.

After we finish eating, I pack up the flask and stand up.

“Thanks, sir. But I think I should be going back now”

” No” he said.

” No? ”

” No, stay” he said.

What’s wrong with him. Why is he using short words?

“But sir, I have a lot of chores waiting for me”

“I said, stay. We’ll go home together” he said and walks to his chair.

He sits down and begin to type on his laptop…

“Then what am I supposed to be doing here?” I asked.

He pause and raise his head to look at me. He smirk and points towards my pocket.

“Play games on your phone”

A Night with Mr Arrogant "Episode 20"

EPISODE 20

Just then we arrive at Jackson’s floor. We step out and walk to Jackson’s office.
We were getting close to Jackson’s office, when Bright wraps his arm around my waist.

Bright opened the door and they step in, Jackson is going through some files when we step in, so he didn’t see them.

Bright clears his throat and Jackson raises his head, his eyes zero on Bright arm wrapping around Mirabel’s waist and his gaze harden.

“Bright, what are you doing here?” He asked through gritt teeth.

Yes, baby that’s it get angry and claim her quickly, he muttered.
“I’m your PA and also your best, best most favorite friend in the whole world. Where else do you expect me to be?” Bright asked.

Jackson eyes move to Mirabel's exposing body parts. He stands up and remove his jacket, walks up to them and remove Bright's arm from Mirabel’s waist, throwing him a killer glare. 

He puts the jacket around Mirabel’s shoulder, and Bright bit his tongue to stop himself from laughing.The jacket is actually a dress for Mirabel.
The jacket could almost reach her knees. Jackson walk back to his chair.

“Jackson, if you want to eat, you could have called me. Why bother adding a new rule and stop Mirabel from going to her date. That guy was such a cute guy” Bright said.

Bright saw Mirabel telling the guy who drove her here to leave, the guy was somehow heartbroken from what he saw. He also saw Jackson from his perherial view, she’s looking at Mirabel curiously, probably wondering what his response will be. Honestly, I am too, Bright said.

“That wasn’t a date! And he wasn’t cute!” Jackson said, gripping his pen tightly. He is clearly jealous.

Bright don’t know why Jackson still won’t accept his true feelings.

Bright looked at the jacket around Mirabel's shoulder , and he couldn’t hold back his laughter so he burst out laughing..I wonder why Bright is laughing. I dare not laugh too even if I wanted to, I’m scared of what Jackson would do.

“Oh my gosh! You’re too short, the jacket look funny on you. Come on, take it off” he said.

The jacket is actually a dress for Mirabel. The jacket could almost reach her knees.

Jackson walk back to his chair.

“Jackson, if you want to eat, you could have called me. Why bother adding a new rule and stop Mirabel from going to her date. That guy was such a cute guy” Bright said.

Episode 19

I quickly turn and rush out of the office. I made it back to Victor in no time.

I approach Victor with a nervous smile, and clear my throat.

“So, are we good to go?” Victor asked me.

“About that… I think we’ll have to raincheck. I have an unfinished business here”

Victor sigh and pinch the bridge of his nose. Then he nod.

“Tomorrow then?” He asked.

“I’m not sure, but I’ll call you when I’m free” I said.

“Ok. I’ll be expecting your call”

He entered his car and drove off. I turn back and enter the building.

Just when I’m about to step in the elevator, I see Bright running towards me, making signs for me to hold the elevator door for him.

He enters the elevator with me and press 59th button.

“Mirabel, you’re looking good” he said.

“Really? Thanks” I reply.

“I guess you’re here to drop Jackson's lunch”

“Yes. Right, do you know about the new rule?” I asked.

He furrows his brows at me.

” What new rule?” He asks back.

“The one that states I must have lunch with Jackson every day”.

He has a confused expression on, but recognition suddenly flash in his face.

And he breaks into a grin.

“Yeah. I know about it" he said.

Just then we arrive at Jackson’s floor. We step out and walk to Jackson’s office.

We were getting close to Jackson’s office, when Bright wraps his arm around my waist.

I look at him feeling confused as to why he suddenly wrap his arm around me.

He just laughs and say, “play along”

I’m so going to irk Jackson today. I wanna see how long he’s gonna hold up, untill he accept his feelings, he said in a low tune.

A Night with Mr Arrogant "Episode 18

EPISODE 18

I open the door and step in. My mouth hung open at the sight, it’s marvelous. I look around in awe.

“Are you just gonna stand there or you are gonna come in?” I hear Jackson’s voice ask.

I wake up from my Dreamland and walk in. I look at Jackson sitting on his big swivel chair, he looks even more intimidating sitting on it.

I raise the flask up and plastered a very wide fake smile on my face .

“I brought your lunch, sir” I said.

“Put it on the table” he said.

I put it on the table and turn to leave, but his voice stop me from moving an inch.

“And where are you going?”

“I’m going back to the mansion” I answered.

He pause and studies me for a moment.

“Really?” I nod my head. “Then who is that guy waiting for you outside?”

I bite my lower lip, thinking of what to say.

“I asked you a question” he said.

I guess there’s no need to lie, it’ll be better if I just say the truth.

“Actually, I want to have lunch with him” I said.

I see his jaw clenched. He looks at me from head to toe, then shakes his head in disapproval.

” Well, you can’t have lunch with him” he said glaring at my expose stomach.

” Why? I’m free now!” I said.

” You’re not free. I just added a new rule, you must have lunch with me every day” he said.

My mouth hang open. I stare at him in disbelief. Is he for real?

“But sir…”

“No buts. Now come and sit down let’s eat”

I open my mouth and close it again, I really don’t know what to say. Why is working for him so hard?

“Then what about my friend outside?” I asked.

He looks into his laptop and back to me.

“I’ll tell someone to send him back” he said.

“No, no. I’ll tell him myself” I said.

He keeps quiet for a moment and think about it.

“You have only ten minutes”

“Ten minutes?” I asked. Doesn’t he know how slow the elevator ride is?

” Your time starts now!”

I quickly turn and rush out of the office. I made it back to Victor in no time.

I approach Victor with a nervous smile, and clear my throat.
