Chapter 13 - Walking Down Memory Lane -6

"You don't have to do anything though," Scarlett told him as she positioned the bib below his collar bone, then tied the two strings in a knot behind his neck, making sure the dangling parts didn't look sloppy. 

Jasper gulped, she was behind him and working on his apron but he could feel the heat radiating off him and it did funny things to him.

"You just have to smile; flash them that sexy white teeth of yours " Scarlett wished she could edit those words which slipped out of her mouth, especially now her face was looking like a cooked shrimp.

The blush on her cheeks deepened when she took the waist drawstrings behind him, her hands brushing across his lean waist through his clothes.

"Most of the people coming here are elderly people, so a warm gesture would be appreciated" She talked just to distract herself from the x-rated visuals in her head now her eyes fell on his butt and to deceive Jasper into believing her so thoughts were pure. 

Since the strings were long, she crossed them and brought them around to the front to tie a bow.

"Some kids and mothers from shelter homes would be here and they can be sensitive with stares and all " she reminded him without looking up.

Scarlett was standing in front of him and tugged on the apron, confirming it fitted him properly.

"Apron? check, and last but not the least" Jasper watched her pull out a hairnet from out of the large pocket of her apron.

"Madam lee practices good hygiene, so we keep the hair away" she explained.

Scarlett was tall so Jasper didn't need to incline his neck to meet her, she just had to lift her hands and she could reach his hair, yet he tilted his head for easier access.

Her heart raced, she brushed back his brown locks away from his face before covering his head with the net.

Done with it, the girl glanced down and their eyes met and held, green eyes staring into heated blue ones. Her heart was pounding like the fists of a thousand zombies trying to get to their precious brains when he clasped her cheek.

His hand stroked her soft, clear skin sending tremors through her body and causing her to draw a sharp, deep breath. 

"Jasper," she breathed, her lips slightly parted.

His eyes flickered down to her parted lips, she had done nothing much but that simple move was so seductive that the fire in his loins spread to the rest of his body, he began to lower his head.

Scarlett gulped, this was really going to happen, they were going to kiss! She panicked a bit but instinct took over and had her close her eyes as his face drew nearer.

She could feel his breath on her face now, their noses touched, left only for their lips to - 

"Ahem," Someone cleared her throat from behind causing her to jump out of her skin, both broke apart.

It was her sister, Vivian! She should have known.

But thanks to her sister anyway, she stopped her from making out with her hot date in the staff room. God, this was crazy.

Scarlett patted his chest, "You're good to go," She said through heavy breath, it was obvious to all that she was flustered.

"Alright, see you later" He exposed to her those dangerous weapons called his white sexy teeth and left.

Now, it was she and her sister; someone would bite her head off. 

"Seriously Scarlett, I know it's been longer than normal since you had your claws on a hot dude who looks like he was carved by God specially on a Sunday, but tone it down a little" She chided her as expected.

Scarlett threw her hands," It just happened okay? Chill, we didn't do anything, you stopped us in the middle of it " came her disappointed reply.

"I don't even recommend doing anything with him until you figure out if his intentions towards you are of good and not of evil "

She rolled her eyes," What evil could he possibly do to me?"

"Play you while he has a wife at home?"

Scarlett gave her the look, "Seriously, wife?"

"Don't be deceived by his youthful features" 

"Vivian, Jasper is the CEO of a huge corporation, don't you think it'd be in the news already if he had a wife?"

"Hello?" Vivian waved at her face," Haven't you read enough books from online novel apps to tell you that rich men like him could have a contractual marriage hidden from the public and their side chicks "

Scarlett was beginning to get annoyed, "I think you've read enough of those romance books that it's interfering with your social relationship with people" 

"Alright, I'll prove it to you" Vivian promised her, determined to prove her wrong.

Scarlett pursed her lips, "Fine, you're free to test him but know your limit " she told her sister with a warning.

"Deal, but on one condition "

"What is it?"

"Don't tell him we're sisters yet until I'm done with my mission"

"Deal" she agreed and they sealed it with a fist bump.

It was quite hard figuring out the both were siblings since there was not an ounce of resemblance between them save the shape of their head.

Scarlett was a redhead and had taken after her father. The green eyes, height, shape of the nose, she was his copy.

Unlike Vivian who had taken from their mom's side; blonde hair with a few scattered freckles on her face that did nothing but enhance her beauty, amber eyes, and average height.

Her sister Vivian had always envied her height and curvaceous backside while she envied her ample boobs and complexion.

Scarlett had a pale complexion- that was inherited from her mother, finally - while her sister was honey-toned. 

Unless evidence was provided, it was difficult to discover both came from the same gene pool.

The door suddenly swung open startling both, "You two sisters have been getting on my nerves today, now get the hell out of here!" Selina boomed at them.
