Jett couldn't help grinning while he occasionally looked at Ashley who was sulking on her seat.
"Are you sure you’re not hungry Love? We can stop somewhere to grab a bite." He asked with a grin.
"I said no! I am okay!” Ashley hissed. She felt that he tricked her but she had no choice but to ride with him . She didn’t want to be a victim of a mugger and God knows what else. She looked outside the window. She was hungry but she would rather die than admit that to this cunning man.
"Here." Said Jett while he put something on her lap.
She frowned when she saw a sandwich and a small bottle of water. "Where’d you get this?"
"I bought them at the hotel's cafe this morning. Since you didn’t want to have breakfast with me I was planning to go home and just eat in the car. But I don’t want you getting hungry so you can have them. You didn’t have dinner last night.”
She frowned. “How did you know that ?”
"I waited for you at the hotel's lobby. I was hoping that you would change your mind and have dinner with me but the cafe and the restaurant closed already, no sign of you yet."
She raised one brow and leaned on the seat. That was just unbelievable! Jett Alejandre the king of players waited for her last night? She couldn't help chewing the inside of her bottom lip with that thought.
"I can't have your food. You need it more since you haven’t eaten any breakfast and you still have to drive for long hours." she said as she looked at his hunky body.
It was a fact that most men eat a huge amount of food and since Jett was all muscles, she was sure that he had a big appetite for food. He deemed to like white because he was again wearing a white plain shirt and a leather jacket. His chiselled chest and six-pack were shaped by the shirt .She felt heat came up her face when images of him in the studio came to her mind.
"We can share. You can feed me while I drive." he just said.
She quickly looked away from his body guiltily. She didn't see the naughty smile on his lips. He did see her checking him out. After a while, with a sigh, she agreed to what he said. They shared the sandwich and the bottled water.
She has to admit that it wasn’t a bad decision to let him take her home. Jett was not as bad she thought he was but for her, he was still not a boyfriend material. She was just his passing fancy which was good for her. She was pretty sure that after a week or two he would pursue another female so she would just let him do all these for the time being. She leaned to her left and placed the sandwich near his mouth. She almost pulled her hand back when he took hold of her wrist before taking a bite. She felt electricity came to her body from her wrist. She immediately moved her hand from him after he bit on the bread. She almost rolled her eyes when she saw how he was smiling while chewing. He threw her a glance. She lowered her eyes and crumpled the sandwich wrapper .She then got the bottled water and took a sip.
"Best sandwich ever Love. Can I have a sip too?" He asked in a husky voice.
Without looking at him, she handed him the bottle. She heard him chuckle before getting it and gulped the remaining water. She leaned her head on the seat and closed her eyes.
"I have never wooed a woman before you. I will do it because I want to prove to you that I really want you to be my girlfriend. I now realized that you are different from the women I dated in the past. Give me a chance Love, and I will show you that I am the man for you." He said sounding determined.
She opened her eyes and turned her head to him. His right profile looks serious. "Seriously?” she asked and he threw her a glance again.
"I have never been this serious. I will make you happy. We will be happy." he said while his eyes were on the road.
"Sorry but I find that hard to believe." she replied. She now had her eyes on the dashboard.
"If you don't want me grabbing other women's a*ses on the ramp then I will stop modelling." .
"You will do that?" she asked with a frown but he didn't answer. "What are you doing?" She asked when the car slowed down and Jett pulled over the right side of the road.
He turned to her when they were parked. His eyes had turned dark as he looked at her. "I’ve been wanting to change a lot of things in my life. I am almost 28 and I think it's time for me to think about the future. Modelling is not a lifetime career. My dad has been asking me to help him with our business. I have been thinking about it." he said.
She didn’t know what to say so she just had her eyes on him. Jett did sound as if he meant every word he said.
"Maybe you are what I need. Won't you give me a chance, Love? Don't you want to save me from my sinful life?" he asked with a hint of humor.
She couldn't stopped herself from smiling too. She let out a light laugh then straightened from her seat. "If you really want to change you don't need anyone to help you." she told him.
He leaned forward and traced the side of her face with his finger while looking intently at her. "I need you..." his voice sounded hoarse.
She felt her throat went dry but she couldn’t seem to move. He cupped her chin then moved closer to her. His face was a few inches from hers. She closed her eyes to hide her disappointment. He was going to kiss her after all. She thought that he said all those to coax her to do what he wanted. She felt his pleasant breath on her face. A part of her wanted to push him , another part wanted to discover how a Jett Alejandre kissed a woman. Then to her surprise, he released her. She felt the car moved again.
Whoaa! What happened? Is he really trying to impress me? She asked herself.
She really thought that he would kiss her but now he was acting like a gentleman.
"You are worth pursuing Love but let me make one thing clear." his eyes which were on the road a few seconds ago, locked with hers. "I know you are single and I don't like hearing you mention any man but me! You can’t have other suitors so when reach Manila, tell them to steer clear of you because I don't like it.." he said in a chilly voice while staring at her with steely eyes.
