BXBX NOVEL Chapter 257 - The Surprise
When it was exactly 8:30 pm, Jasmine phone beeped. Seeing who was the sender, Jasmine quickly viewed the message. Catherine pretending not to be watching her was surprised to see Jasmine beamed while staring at her cellphone but she did not ask questions.
It did not reach three minutes after Jasmine received the message that Catherine saw her went into their bedroom.
"I wonder who messaged her that made her act like a little fool," Catherine mumbled while staring at the bedroom door.
Catherine who saw Jasmine entered their bedroom had thought that Jasmine wanted to sleep early but she was damn surprised when she saw Jasmine came out of the bedroom all dressed up like she wanted to go to a party.
"Where are you going to all dressed up? Are you going to a party? And if yes, whose party is it?" Catherine asked curiously her eyes glued on Jasmine putting on deep pink matching shorts and jackets. Her white high heels shoe and pouch glitter under the light. The glimmering necklace around her neck and earrings was so catchy.
"I am not going anywhere," Jasmine said as she made to leave but Catherine spoke up..
"You are not going anywhere yet you are dressed like you are going on your first date," Catherine commented as she stare at her best friend's departing back. She watched her until she left the room.
"Judging from how she smiled earlier and the outfits she is putting on, I guess Jackson must have invited her out on a date," Catherine said beaming as she continued playing with her cellphone.
Jasmine on leaving her apartment stood at the door close to hers. She patiently waited for the owner of the room to invite her in. Before she could press the ringing button on the door, her phone beamed. After reading the message she slightly turned the door's knob. While she was doing this she did not know that people were hiding watching her.
"Why is he acting so mischievous today. I wonder what surprised he prepared," Jasmine mumbled as she slide into the room.
"I wish she will love the surprise we prepared for them," Steve thought aloud.
"She will love it. All we need to do now is to message Jeff and inform him that he can release Jack now," Evelyn said grinning as she typed some message and immediately sent it. After doing this, she and Steve left their hiding place.
About five minutes later, Jackson was seen entering his room. Entering his room, Jackson was surprised to see his room dark. He can recall vividly that his room light was still switched on when he left his room to meet Jeff.
What stunned him most was the red and white scented candles and rose petals decorated in form of a carpet.
"What the heck is going on here?" Jackson thought as he followed the direction the candles were leading to. When he saw his bedroom door left open with the candles and rose petals leading into his bedroom, he hesitated in entering the room.
Did thieves break into my hotel room?
Jackson thought as he muster up the courage and entered the room. The scene he met when he entered the room fully left him astonished. He stood there rooted to the floor.
"You are finally here. I thought that you had plans to abandon me after making such an elaborate preparation," Jasmine who turned around and saw him standing there said with smiles on her face. Her beautiful smile was so captivating to the point that Jackson's heart got struck by love Cupid.
"I know I am extraordinarily beautiful but I am afraid you will bore a hole on my face if you keep staring at me like that," Jasmine said sarcastically as she still maintained her charming smile.
"Stop being narcissistic," Jackson said as he approached the finely decorated table whose cover was red while the seats were white with a finely decorated red ribbon tied around it.
"Isn't one of the reasons you fell head over heels with me because of my narcissism. You couldn't resist my charms which is why you love me, am I right?" Jasmine said with pride after he has sat down opposite her.
"You are right about that. You were just too charming every moment of the day to the point that I could not help but fall deeper in love with you," Jackson said as he smiled at her. Jasmine could not help but smile along with him.
Jackson while smiling took a closer view of the table. Apart from the bouquet of roses lying on the table, there was another rose flower placed inside a vase. All the dishes were covered. He smiled when he saw that the bottle of wine was Jasmine's favourite wine.
"Why are you staring at the setting like this was not prepared by you," Jasmine said as she stretched her hand to pick up a small sachet lying on the table. Thinking that it was chewing gum, Jasmine carefully examined it.
"What the heck is this? Is it a newly produced gum?" Jasmine asked holding the thing in her hand at eye level. Before Jackson could have a proper look at it, Jasmine had already opened it.
Goddamn it! It's a condom!
Jackson thought as he stare at the thing which had fallen on the table. Panic struck Jackson when he saw her once curious expression turned to a frowning one.
"Did you prepare all this and said all those sweet words because of this?" Jasmine asked as she glared at him.
"Was this the endpoint of those so-called feelings of yours for me? Were you interested in me only to f*ck me at the end of the day?" Jasmine asked standing up from the chair.
Everything was just perfect so why did they have to keep the goddamn condom on the table?
Jackson cursed as he quickly stood up and hurried after the lady who has begun walking away. He grabbed her hand before she could leave the bedroom.
