Miracle's POV
Jaxson drove me to the mall before he goes to his office. The truth is, I felt so happy talking with Jax again, it made me overwhelmed that his mother is now cancer-free, and I am glad I made the appropriate decision that day. Saving people is very fulfilling though I did nothing but asked my dad to help them. I can tell now that Jaxson is having a good way of life. I am busy searching for the perfect riding boots when I feel someone is watching in my direction, I scanned the place, but all the customers are busy checking and fitting for their items.
The moment I spin around I hit someone's hard body and when I looked up, I am staring straight at the captivating eyes of Jace. My stupid heart raced to its maximum speed, he is looking at my mouth, because of my nervousness being so next to him I turn around and continue searching for the right pair, I can sense he is at my back and his proximity is making me uneasy and elated. I will be lying if I will say I loved to stay away from him, it will always be the opposite. Every time Jace King is near me, I wished to be locked into his muscular arms and savor his sweet lips. I can't help myself but ache for Jace. No matter how I try to resist him, he is the only temptation I can't avoid.
My attraction to Jace is like a puzzle I am struggling to solve. Jace King is off-limits because he has a girlfriend, and he doesn't want me, yet he must be near me because he is my bodyguard. Every moment he is near I wanted to stay away because I don't want to throw myself to him, yet every second I don't see him I crave to have a glimpse of him. I am even trying to face Jace without wanting to touch him. I should have not tasted his lips, maybe things are different. The stupid kiss we shared at the Club was the reason I became addicted to his lips and I can never forget how wonderful it is to be kissed by him.
"Ms. Mira, are you planning to purchase or not? You have been studying at those boots for too long now, you better do the fitting, so you can save time, I am guessing you still have many things to buy." Jace commented after I am staring at the boots on my hands longer than necessary since I am daydreaming about him.
"Mr. King, it is none of your business if I am going to check this pair of boots repeatedly." I snapped at him.
"Really? It seems you are not checking the boots anyway." He chuckled.
"I have a ride in going back home, I don't need your company, Mr. King." I said.
"I know you are enjoying the company of Engr. John and you had a wonderful lunch with him." He responded.
"Are you spying on me now?" I asked, irritated.
"I am not spying Ms. Mira, I am just trying to do my duty, your father requested me to look after you, and don't forget I am your bodyguard whether or not you like it, I will always tail you." He answered.
"Yeah! Right, you are only doing your job, now can we make it clear Jace? Can you stay away from me, you need not be near me all the time? It was written in the contract that you should be in a reasonable distance unless necessary." I said, and I can't hide my irritation anymore. He doesn't need to say it on my face I am only a job for him since I know it already, but it still hurts me hard.
"I'm sorry." He spoke and walked away from me. I am not in the mood to find suitable riding boots anymore, I only fit the one I am holding and ask the attendant to give me a new stock, then I purchase the item. Then I continue to ladies wear and buy some fitted long sleeves and pants. Jace King ruined my day. I wanted to shop more and stroll the mall, but thinking Jace is following me all the time makes me want to go home.
I am on my way to have some drinks when my eyes caught Jace he is standing near the railing when suddenly a beautiful woman hugged him tightly, and he kissed her on the lips, I can feel the entire building is spinning. I wanted to look away, but I just can't. She is touching his face and Jace is holding her waist, and they are so intimate with each other. I can see the happiness on the woman's face, there is no doubt she is Jace's girlfriend. How can I forget Jace was raised here? Maybe they were texting the entire time. I wished to run in front of them and tell him to come with me, but the pain I felt in my heart is too much to handle. I want to cry my heart out, but I am in the middle of the mall.
I decided to go home and take a bus, then when I rounded the corner, I saw Charles smiling at me. I come running to him and I hugged Charles tightly, I know I took him off guard, but he set his hands on my back after a moment.
"Are you okay, Ms. Miracle?" He asked and looked me in the eyes.
"No! I am not." I said I am shaking my head while my tears fell on my cheeks." He placed his arm on my shoulders, then he supports me in moving out of the mall and in leading to his car. I almost forgot, Charles and Jace are the two assigned bodyguards who are working with me. I am sniffing when I settle on the front seat, I am trying my best to control my emotions, but the memory of Jace kissing that girl shattered my heart into a million pieces. I know I am nobody to him, but he should be man enough to think about how I feel. I slapped him that night because it hurt me that he didn't tell me about his fiancée. She is beautiful and she has a gorgeous body. That is why I have never been on his radar, I am so stupid for giving meaning to all the kisses we shared when I know nothing is going on between us.
"Can you tell me what is going on? Who made you cry Miracle? I am so scared when I look at your face it seems the world has collapsed." Charles spoke, he is already sitting in the driver's seat, but he didn't start the car.
"Yeah! My world collapsed, Charles." I said.
"Wow! I am not good with this kind of conversation Ms. Mira, but if you need a friend, I just want you to know, I may be your bodyguard, but I can be an excellent companion too, I am human Ms. Mira." He said, and it made me laugh.
" Wow! That is my friend, to be honest, you have the most beautiful smile, every time you smile you can light up the whole place." Charles declared.
"I know you are just trying to make me feel better, there is no word that can take away the pain that I am feeling right now, Charles. I can feel the agony deep inside my heart, it feels like I am pierced in my chest." I replied and sighed. He handed me the facial tissue from the compartment.
" Thank you, Charles, not only for offering me the tissue, but you know for finding time to listen to me." I spoke, and I leaned myself on my seat.
"Can we go now?" I asked him.
"Yeah! Sure, but I am still waiting for Jace to reply. He didn't bring a car." He said.
"What?" I inquired, shocked, I don't wish to be in the same car with Jace, and he is still having a moment with his fiancée.
"Why are you looking at me that way, Ms. White?"
"Don't tell me it was Jace, who made you cry?" He asked, and I can't lie to Charles, I can feel that he is a good man, and I prefer to be friends with him, I didn't say a word, but I nodded.
"I knew it! I can identify the nature you stared at each other, so you saw him with his girlfriend? I know Jace doesn't have a plan on meeting his girlfriend yet, judging by the looked of Jace and the expression on his girlfriend's face they met accidentally." Charles said, and he glanced at me with sympathy.
"I don't have any right to feel this way, Charles nothing is going on between us, but I can't help myself from hurting."
"Yeah! You don't label your relationship with each other, but both of you know how you feel for each other, I know that you have been kissing with each other." He stated and my eyes go wide upon hearing his words.
"I haven't seen you do it, but the way Jace looks at your mouth every moment you are near with each other, I can tell Ms. Mira, you need not feel ashamed about it. All I can say maybe you have the right love at the wrong time." He commented, and it left me wondering, could it be possible that Jace King is in love with me too?
