Miracle's POV
After one month of being grounded, my father allowed me to go back to my usual routine, I go out with my friends together with my cousin. Johnny was right, I can feel that Amanda started to act differently towards me, but I ignored all the signs because I want her to be with me always, I considered her my best friend.
Every time Johnny is not around, something always happens to me. It was Friday and Amanda wants to cut class, to meet Ryan, since I want to see Jaxson, I go with her with my own free will.
"Hey! I am so glad finally I am able to see you again." Jax said, the moment we met, but I can see the surprised look in his eyes.
We are currently at a car shop where Ryan works and Jax is also working part-time at the shop. He looks handsome even though there are grease on his hands, and there some on his face, he is wearing coveralls.
"Don't you have class?" He asked.
"Well, we don't have a class this afternoon, because our teachers are having an emergency meeting." I lied, I don't want him to think that I am a bad girl.
"How about you? You have class too, right?" I asked him in return.
"Yeah! But we need to finish that car which is due today, besides, I don't have a quiz today, so it is okay to skip class to make some money." He said seriously.
I suddenly felt sorry for Jax, he should be studying, but he told me that he is living with his mother and stepfather, who is a drunkard and jobless, he wants to help her mom pay the bills and to buy their basic needs. How lucky I am to have everything I need, I know Jax is a good son, that is why I became so drawn to him.
We waited for them until they finished their work. Jaxson asked Ryan and Amanda, to have a date with me alone, I can see the sudden looked at Amanda's face. She honestly told me, that Jax was her crush before, but I don't expect her to have that kind of reaction, I ignored Amanda's tiger look.
I find it so romantic that Jaxson wants to be alone with me, and I am so thrilled to spend more time with him, what made me more excited, he texted me that the next time he will see me, he will definitely kiss me. I suddenly felt nervous and excited at the same time, talking with him on the phone was not enough, we spend our time on the beach again, I didn't bring anything, since I didn't expect to have a date with him.
"I missed you!" Jaxson said, as he stroked my long shiny hair, I am lying on the sand sideways facing the beach, while my head is on his lap, I turn around to face him, and I am captivated by his mesmerizing gaze, and his inviting lips are driving me wild, I have never been kissed, so I don't have any idea how it felt. I can't deny that I wanted to be kissed by Jaxson.
Then he holds my shoulders, and he slowly made me sit in front of him, then he touched my lips with his fingertips, then Jax cupped my face with his calloused hands, then he captured my waiting lips, I experienced my first kiss with him, he made my wish come true, I kissed him back, he guides my lips, it didn't feel awkward at all, and I kissed him like a pro, I am proud of myself, maybe reading many romance novels taught me how to kiss.
It was a magical kiss for me, I don't know how long we have been kissing.
"Can you be my girlfriend Miracle?" He asked innocently, I am shocked that he asked me to be his girlfriend, I immediately answered him.
"Yes Jax! I'd love to be your girlfriend." I said excitedly, due to my excitements, I sit on his lap facing him, and I kissed him passionately, he chuckled after our long kiss.
"Yes! Thank you Miracle, you made me sleepless for how many nights.
"Really? Me too, I keep thinking about you." I said honestly, Jax is still kissing my neck which causes me to tickle. I love the way he makes me feel, I never thought that a kiss can be so wonderful, that time I felt like one of my favorite characters of my favorite novel experiencing the aftermath of first kiss.
We strolled the beach together while holding hands, both of us have big smiles on our faces, I can't stop myself from grinning, I love his scent that calmed me. I know I am breaking the rules again, but being with Jaxson, it was all worth it.
"Miracle, I know I have nothing to offer you right now, but I promise you I will do my best to finish my studies and have a decent job so that I can be worthy of you, I know no matter what I do, I can never be wealthy like you, and I don't deserve you. I don't have a good family background, I have nothing to be proud of." He said, Jax is looking at me with full of sadness in his eyes.
"Hey! Jaxson, listen to me, I don't need wealth, I am born with it, all I need is your sincerity and loyalty, you make me happy, I have never been so happy like this in my entire life, you make me feel alive and I can't explain the gratification I felt right now, and for that I am so thankful." I said to him sincerely.
"Thank you, Mira, but I know your father won't allow you to date someone like me." He said, I can still feel the sadness in his voice, I stopped walking, and I let him face me, I am looking up at him, for he is so tall, I caressed his handsome face.
"Jax, my mother was poor by birth, my father fell in love with her, I don't think he will stop us, we are happy, and he won't let me experience, what he had been through, my grandparents were against with their relationship, but Dad fought for his love, at the end they get married happily, but my mother died after she gave birth to me." I said, I am trying to hold back my tears, I can't help myself from crying every time I talk about my mother.
"I am sorry about your mother, and thank you for sharing it with me, I also lost my father when I was young, that is why I have an irresponsible stepfather now."
We had dinner at a pizza parlor, I am not used eating with this kind of atmosphere, I usually dine in a fancy restaurant, but nothing compares to the happiness I felt eating pizza with Jaxson. After eating dinner, we go to a nearby park, we are sitting on the bench holding hands.
I still can't believe that I have a boyfriend now, I felt different, the way he gazed at me, made me feel I am beautiful.
"I think I will send you home, it is getting late Mira." Jax said.
"It is alright Jaxson, I don't need to go home to our estate tonight, I am back to our penthouse after my father lift my punishment, I want to spend more time with you." I said, smiling at him sweetly.
"Okay! Honestly, I want to spend more time with you Mira, I don't want you to go yet." He said, then he kissed me again.
It is almost ten o'clock in the evening, I know my father will be back tomorrow morning, so I am confident that everything will be alright. I turned off my phone, since I don't want my bodyguards keep calling me, I don't know what Amanda did this time to get away from my bodyguards, I hope they will not be fired, I don't want them to lose their jobs.
I ride a taxi, I don't want Jaxson to be home so late, I am riding the elevator when I suddenly felt so nervous. The moment I get inside the penthouse, my world is spinning, I can't believe my father is already home, and Amanda is sitting with him on the couch, I know this is not good judging by the way she looked at me, she already sold my fate to my dad.
"Miracle! I don't know what is going on with you, the school called my secretary that you cut class, I was in the middle of a meeting, and I decided to cancel my meeting just to come home, I think something happened to you, where have you been and why your phone is off?" My father asked angrily.
"I am, sorry Dad!" I don't know what to say to my Dad.
"Amanda tried to look for you, she opted to be absent just to look for you, what is going on with you Miracle? I don't understand you anymore!" Dad said, I can feel his frustrations.
"Go to your room now Miracle, I know where have you been, Amanda showed me the text from your boyfriend, I am warning you young lady, break up with that lad or I will make his life miserable." My father said.
"Dad! Please! Don't do this, I like him
Dad, this is the first time I feel this way." I said.
"You are still very young Miracle, we don't know what is his real motives."
"Dad! I couldn't believe you, how can you judge him, you don't even know him, Jax is not what you think he is, he may be poor, but he is a good person Dad." I said, I am crying because I don't want him to hurt him.
"Miracle you are very young and naive, his father was an ex-convict, did he tell you that?" He asked me, his voice is still full of anger.
"If his father is a criminal, it doesn't mean that he will be a criminal too." I shouted to my father, I am so furious with my Dad, then my father slapped me in the face strongly.
"How dare you talked back to me like that, young lady, look at you, you suddenly become wild because of that boy." He said, I can feel the taste of blood in my mouth, my tears are streaming down on my face. I can't believe my father hurt me. I turn around and run to my room.
I am crying hysterically in my room, I have so many text messages from Jax, I smiled even though my tears are falling, at least I still have reason to smile, it made me sad, that I will not be able to see him again. I don't want Jax to suffer, he has a terrible life already, he is trying his best to provide for his family, but if dad will make his life worse, I can't forgive myself.
I don't want to break up with Jax, I don't need to tell him everything, but instead of telling him the truth, I told him that I am fine and my Dad hadn't come back yet from his business trip. I am so glad that he didn't call me, because he will know that I am crying the moment he hears my voice, I wasn't able to sleep immediately, I can't believe my Dad really hit me on the face.
I want to hate my Dad for hurting me, but I am guilty, I know what I did was wrong, then I am confused why Amanda is doing all this, she went home ahead of me, in fact, she told me that she will be waiting for me at the hotel lobby, besides why she has to lie to my Dad, it was all her plans.
I can't tell my Dad the truth, but I am beginning to suspect something, is she trying to steal the attention of my father? That is why she made me look bad in front of Dad?
