"I'm sorry,I really am"her neck had begun to ache being in this position wishing the man before her would be nice enough to tell her to raise her head up,she thought.
"lift your head up"came the reply she had been waiting for,but she couldn't lift her neck which was aching her badly,Jasper noticing her reluctance brought his hand forward and lifted her chin up to raising it his as their gaze met each other, matching it, suddenly it felt like a lighting had struck them both their body felt a current pass through them as Jasmine quickly looked away forcing herself from glancing back at him,but his face seems familiar where had they met,oh now u remember he is the prince his pictures had always been on bill boards and very soon it will be his coronation but that wasn't all he's the red eyes guy she had always seen in her dream,all she needed now was someone to pinch her and tell her this was a dream too,how come he never crossed her mind after seeing him so many times on bill board,
she remembered most of her classmates praying to God for him to marry them,He looked even better now in reality his hair didn't look like it had been cut lately but it made him look even hot,his eyelashes and the darkness that surrounded his eyes made him even more sexy in his red and black stripped suit how symbolic that meant too her it was like the devil had come in form of a person to remind her she was going to remain sad all her life,but why did his gaze and touch made her feel that way,did he feel that way too? she was curious but didn't dare ask,Ella must be looking for her now she didn't know wether she should move or not but her mind stayed rooted on the ground where she stood right now,
"Your highness am sorry,how can I pay you back" she said breaking the silence between them only if she had seen this she would not have succumbed to Ella's request to go early so they can come back early to wrap the gifts,only if times could be reversed.
Jasper who had been observing her all this while,was still going through the shock of the current that had passed through him when he had touched her , especially when their eyes had met what was wrong with him did John somehow set him up with her,but deep within him he knew he was only trying to convince himself he didn't even know what to say untill she gave him an idea,he had noticed something odd from her but he couldn't figure it out,when she asked him how to repay him and seeing her call him by his title it had never felt so good ever since he had been hearing it,what was this feeling drawing her to where his car was parked,then he remembered his parents request without much thinking he smirked as he said
"pay for the glass you broke you are lucky you broke just one"John who had returned heard his friend say that, 'was he serious'he thought
"How much is it sir?"Jasmine asked,all this while she had refused to raise her head.
"Fifty million dollars"he lied by giving her the double price of the glass swan, it was a special antique
seeing Jasmine's eyes widen his smile deepened internally,seeing Jasper's smile,John could only feel sorry at the poor girl, glaring at Jasper would only leave him hurting his eyes he couldn't even try it.
"I....uhm"Jasmine could not even believe any of this,her words weren't helping her either since they refused to come forth too.
"what you can't pay"he asked without trace of mockery in his voice as he continued to smirk.
"How about we make a deal"Jasper continued,John only viewed him as a bully who was trying to snatch abchilds only candy not knowing what Jasper was cooking in his head he sighed.
