BXBX NOVEL Chapter 330 - I Just Started
JoAnna and Jeff watched helicopter depart in the darkness toward the mainland while holding each other.
"Mr. White, dinner is ready." Staff member announced and left.
Jeff gazed at JoAnna and caressed her cheek with his fingers. "Hungry?"
She responded with a small nod.
He gave her a light kiss on the lips and led her to the top deck.
While walking, JoAnna asked, "How many staff members are here?"
"48", Jeff responded and laughed when he saw JoAnna\'s surprised expression. "They are on the lower deck in staff area, unless needed."
The top deck was decorated with numerous heart shaped flower arrangements. In the middle of the deck was a table set up for a dinner for two. JoAnna leaned into Jeff\'s embrace and smiled, "You are spoiling me."
He kissed her and gestured toward the table, "I just started."
Jeff pulled a chair for JoAnna and helped her sit, like a true gentleman. His amorous gaze never left her. Jeff was on cloud nine. Atmosphere was great, his proposal went great, and this beautiful woman by his side is officially his fiancée. With the ring and everything!
JoAnna kept her hands under the table and rubbed the engagement ring with her thumb few times, in order to confirm that all this is real. This setting, on a yacht, with Jeff. It\'s real. Her gaze fell on the table and she observed two black boxes one on top of another.
JoAnna looked at Jeff, "And this is...?"
"...for you to open." Jeff answered by completing her sentence.
JoAnna hesitated few seconds before reaching out and taking the top box. She held her breath while opening it. She was astonished that in the box is a women\'s Patek Philippe watch with a case of white gold, rose gold dials and details made of diamonds. JoAnna observed that it\'s matching her engagement ring and smiled.
"You thought of everything!" She could only praise him. He took the watch and put it on her wrist. It was beautiful.
She looked at the second box and opened it. It was a matching style men\'s watch.
"Now we are matching!" Jeff had a big smile on while extending his arm so that she can put the watch on his wrist.
During dinner Jeff and JoAnna mostly gazed at each other.
After dinner they went to one of the entertainment areas in the yacht and slow danced to the \'Wonderful Tonight\' by Eric Clapton, and few other super-romantic songs.
"Sorry, I\'m not much of a dancer.", Jeff apologized.
Only then JoAnna noticed that they mostly moved one-left-one-right while tightly holding each other. But she really didn\'t mind.
"It\'s perfect.", she leaned her cheek on his chest. JoAnna felt as if she is floating.
Jeff saw that JoAnna is happy, and his heart was full. He promised to JoAnna silently that he will make sure she is happy every day for the rest of their lives.
The yacht is very luxurious. Entertainment area is two story high and it has in-built lighting which makes it look very modern, almost like it came from the future.
JoAnna was curious if he rented the yacht, or not. "Jeff... do you own this yacht?"
"Yes." He simply responded.
It\'s not that she didn\'t expect that answer, but hearing that he confirmed, put her in a daze. \'He is just too rich!\' It took her some time to snap out of it. "How many things do you own?"
Jeff was not sure how to answer this question. He wanted to say that Steve can give her a list of assets under his name, but what\'s the point of that? He also has access to many properties as well as other assets because they belong to White corp. and White foundation. Jeff thought that there is something specific on her mind. "Is there something you want?"
JoAnna nodded. "Only one thing."
Jeff\'s eyes lit up. "Tell me and it\'s yours. If I don\'t have it, I will get it for you." He tightened his hold on her and pulled her closer.
"I already told you before, I will give you the world." He means it. As long as it can be bought, and JoAnna wants it, he will get it for her. Jeff closed in and kissed JoAnna. "What can your man get for you?"
JoAnna looked at him and sighed. \'He truly is very generous. I wish that he does not have all these expenses because of me.\' JoAnna is happy with everything he is doing for her, but she only wants to be with him. All these other things are extras, they are nice, but not necessary. As long as Jeff is with her, JoAnna is happy. "I know that I risk sounding ungrateful for all the wonderful things you are doing for me, but I only need you."
Jeff smiled, "You have me."
Every time he sees that JoAnna is not demanding, his heart swells. He knows that she is with him because she loves him, and not because of what he has.
"Looking at you, I feel insecure. You are so... perfect." JoAnna could not remove her gaze from him. In her eyes, he is perfect, and she never thought of herself as someone who could reach such a magnificent man.
"I think we had a similar conversation. If you are insecure, only you can fix that by improving yourself until you are satisfied." He lifted her chin, to make sure she keeps looking at him. "I need you to understand that I see you as exceptional in every aspect, and there is no need to change anything."
Jeff remembered that he used to feel insecure, and unworthy of being with JoAnna. He gained his courage in front of her only when he was confident that she loves him. \'If I show her that I love her, she will not doubt herself in this relationship.\' He made a decision. "I am yours. I will find a way to make you understand that."
Jeff embraced her and held her for some time while thinking how to convey his feelings to JoAnna. After some time, a sly smirk appeared on his face.. \'I need to find an opportunity to call Steve.\'
