Miracle's POV
I left him in the parking lot by the time he parked the car and I go rushing into the lobby. I was glad because the elevator opened, when I arrived in the reception area, and the hotel guests stepped out. The moment I trudged inside my unit, my personal maid takes my bag and I go in my bedroom. She prepared my nightgown, while I lazily take a lukewarm bath in the bathtub.
I hate myself, my attraction to Jace King is getting worse every day, I need to do something or else at the end I will get hurt, he is in love with his girlfriend, it is so obvious, yet I continue to force myself on him, which is very wrong.
I took a long time to fall asleep because I was always thinking about him. The continued beeping of my alarm clock awakened me, yet I felt so lazy, so instead of waking up, I shut off the alarm clock and remained lying on my bed. Then, the alarm on my mobile phone started buzzing, I am groping on my entire bed to search my cell phone until it fell to the floor, but the ringing didn't stop. I scooted at the edge of my bed and pick up my iPhone and turned off the buzzer. I get back to bed to have some more sleep.
My head felt disoriented from dozing when I heard a series of knocks on my door.
"What do you want?" I asked, but I am dumbfounded to be face to face with Jace, he looks so amazing wearing a hot pink long sleeve shirt with a blazer. Jace is so handsome, I got conscious and shocked to find Jace in front of me.
"Miss Miracle, are you alright? I am sorry if I go straight to your room, I am just wondering why you haven't come down yet, I believe you are an early bird." He said, I can feel the worries in his voice.
"Oh, no!" I exclaimed. It registered to me, I have a duty now, and we start our proper training today.
"Jace! I am sorry and thank you for reminding me, please give me ten minutes and I will be ready." I said.
"Take your time, Miss Miracle, besides it is still early, and I am a skillful driver, I won't allow you to be late." He replied and beamed at me, showing his perfect set of teeth, and I smiled back at him.
"I will wait downstairs, Miss Mira." He stated.
"Okay." I answered, then I close the door after he left.
I took a quick bath and put on my business attire, and I blow dry my hair, and apply a light makeup. After I am contented with my look in the mirror, I leave my bedroom at once.
I take two steps at a time that I almost tripped on the staircase. I can see Jace watching my every move. He is the only one left waiting for me in the living room. The rest of my Elite Bodyguards are ready the moment we get out of the mansion. I find it so funny looking at them so snappy. They are all standing near the minivan.
Jace opened the back seat of my Audi A5 Cabriolet, this is one of my favorites among my cars, but I closed it and I opted to ride in the front seat beside him.
Jace starts the car, then after several minutes we left the estate followed by the other bodyguards. I can no longer be angry with him because he is innocent, Jace did nothing to me, it was me who asked so many requests from him and I feel guilty about it.
"Jace, thank you for coming to my room this morning or else I will be late to my first day of work." I said, and I looked at him sideways.
"You're welcome, it is my job to make it sure that you are fine Mira." Jace said, he looked at me during stop sign, I felt the racing heartbeat of my heart, I find it so sweet Jace's calling me by my name informally.
"Jace, I am sorry if I acted like an idiot, and you are right, we have to get along to avoid being caught, I also wish to finish my training with no drama. At first, I questioned my Dad's motive why I call for to work in his company like a regular trainee, but now I realized it was for the best. Through this way I can meet real friends, and I prefer them to want me because of who I am, not because of who my father is."
"You don't need an apology Mira, I am sorry it was all my fault, I should not lead you on." He said.
"Please Jace, don't remind me, you don't want me, it was all because of my foolish preposition why it leads to this, I should have not asked you to become my tutor boyfriend. There are many Elite bodyguards that I can choose, I never expected to pick someone who has a girlfriend. I am to be blamed because I could have made it sure first that you are single before I offered you that stupid contract. Next time I will ask my father to hire only single individuals to avoid complications, though it is clearly stipulated in your undertaking that you can't date me, but it would be less complicated during the times my escort has to act as my suitor. Everything started in the billionaire's club." I said while I felt so embarrassed and hurt.
We arrived at our destination in no time, since Jace drove fast and there are still minutes to spare. He parked the car. Jace has said nothing regarding what I stated, but I saw his face darken, I felt nervous, I should have kept my mouth shut. It is better not to talk to him any more than to feel this way.
Then, unexpectedly Jace caressed my face, then he brings his handsome face so close to mine, my breathing quickened, then his warm lips brush my eager lips. At first, he is giving me a light peck, then he pulled me closer to him, and he deepened the kiss, I can't get enough of his luscious lips, this is the reason I lay awake at night, remembering how wonderful it was to be kissed by him. We are kissing and nibbling, he is touching my back while my fingers weave through his shiny hair. I don't know what is going on, but I am sure I am enjoying everything he is doing to me.
We are both panting after we shared a passionate kiss, I bit my swollen lower lip, I can't deny it, I like the way he makes me feel, but right now I have never been so confused in my entire life, I saw he smirked.
"Wow! That was amazing Jace, and it would make me a liar if I say I didn't enjoy what we did, but you are making me more confuse this time, I am trying my best to avoid you all I can, but what you did was." He didn't let me finish my speech. He put his finger into my mouth to silence me.
"Mira, I want you to stop thinking it was all your fault, now I am giving you reason to blame me for kissing you. I started that wonderful kiss, so you can start blaming me now." He looked at me, then opened the car doors.
"We better climb out of the car now, before Charles called your father, you know him, he is always worried about you, I don't want him to assume I am taking advantage of you." Jace said, then he got out of the car, while I am still dazed after the kiss. I felt so guilty kissing Jace, but I can't stop myself reliving it.
"Are you alright?" Jace asked, I think it was so unfair, he seemed so unaffected at all with the kiss, while I feel light-headed, and I got butterflies in my stomach.
"Yes, I am okay!" I said, I can't even think straight. He made my life more complicated than ever. I have to get this over my head, for now, I have to focus on my training.
"It would be alright, if you go ahead?" Jace asked me, I can see the reluctance in his face.
"Yeah! Sure." I answered him, and I tried my best to give him one of my sweet smile. I am confused where is he going, but I continue walking inside the building. I met Stella and Chad in the lobby, and they both drill me with questions about what happened the other night. They are both excited that I tease them.
"It is a secret for now!" I said, I smiled at them, then I saw Stella giggled.
"Well, you don't need our help Mira, you do it yourself, and I believe, before we finish our training, you will get over your ex-boyfriend sooner than later." She added.
I hate hiding the truth from them, at least for now, I don't want them to despise me, I hope they will understand me.
"Mira, please eat something first, I know you ate nothing before we leave the Penthouse." I heard Jace whispered behind me, and when I turned around, I see him looking at me with longings in his eyes, then he handed me the coffee and donuts.
My friends became thrilled when they saw Jace gave me my breakfast. That is why he let me get inside the office ahead of him. He bought me something to eat. Wow! Jace King is really giving me a hard time.
