Chapter 22 - Chapter 22:The unexpected encounter with Jacob Hebrew.

As Annabelle arrives at fabulous supermarket,navigating the aisles to purchase groceries,she stretches her hand at the top of the shelf but suddenly bumped into a steady chest. The fresh mint mixed with the vanilla cologne smelled so good making it difficult for Annabelle to breathe. His breath was blowing on her ears since her sunbeam hat had fallen off. Observing the man she bumped into was shocked because he had a well built body with abs on his abdomen without an extra fat . For God's sake it was her first time to be embraced by a man and on top of that when he's handsome. " Do you like what you see hmm." Jacob broke her reverie when she heard his voice.

Hearing the voice,she thought she was seeing things but was it wasn't the case .

It was non other than Jacob Hebrew the producer of Troy studios. He was wearing a light blue shirt with khaki pants paired with crooks. He was wearing sunglasses to avoid attracting attention but that didn't hide his handsomeness. The way they embraced each other made the onlookers to admire their beauty and mistake them as a couple.

Jacob looked at the beauty he was holding and gulped nervously, something soft made contact with his chest making him to impulsively do bad things but he knew better than anyone to remain calm in this kind of situation. When their eyes met, Annabelle quickly escaped from his embrace. She distanced herself from him and created enough space for the both of them.Clearing her throat , " hello Mr Jacob! am sorry for bumping into you as I wasn't seeing that the shelf was far from my reach. " Annabelle apologized to escape from the embarrassing situation. " it's okay ." Jacob replied softly surprising her. Having got the opportunity ,she thanked him and took large strides before continuing with her shopping.

" I can't believe this girl just walked away like that ,she's the kind of girl that even if she wears rags her figure and looks just fit perfectly ,but anyway it's good thing she's under my wing she won't be able to escape." Jacob thought to himself while snapping pics of Annabelle who was so engrossed in reading the ingredients on the product.

Ever since he met her at the awarding ceremony,her beautiful face keeps popping up in his mind like a movie on replay. Sometimes his mind wonders to her beautiful smile. Even his heart beat had increased recently worrying him.

As Annabelle navigated through several shelves,she couldn't understand how Jacob could shop openly because the way the tabloids talked about his life towards the public painted him like he couldn't even step a foot in a normal supermarket.

Suddenly her phone rung. " hey! Annabelle are you still at home because I want to wash up and later pick Mom at the airport ." Priccy asked Annabelle.

" Am not at home,am planning to visit Mom and my baby sister." Annabelle replied while stretching her hand to get spices.

" Ohh! by the way where are you? It's has been a long time ever since I saw aunt,can I join sweetie." Priccy coquettishly asked Annabelle who rolled her eyes.

" You can join me, just meet me at fabulous supermarket before we take off." Annabelle replied adding other things in her cart.

After footing the bill,she got her shopping bags and sat at the chairs prepared for the customers. Sipping her pineapple juice, Priccy arrived panting heavily.

She grabbed a chair and sat opposite Annabelle who was sipping her juice with her painted long nails. " Annabelle do you know that Joshua has started making preparations for the party and he seems to unreveal a surprise on that day." Priccy said ordering a mango juice with egg rolls.

Putting down her glass,she blinked her eyes continuously showing her long natural eye lashes making Priccy who had just ordered to be mesmerized by her beauty.

" Okay! I look forward to relaxing and having fun that day,so what about the venue for the party ." Annabelle broke the silence.

" it will be held at his new mansion at ukright." Priccy replied taking small bites from her egg rolls.

Annabelle started posting her pictures with Priccy with a tag "#tag spending time together is the best thing." She browsed through her account as Priccy finished to eat. Munching everything, Annabelle and her bestie marched out of the supermarket with smiles dorning their faces . Jacob was entering his car and saw them coming posing in his actions.

Priccy was chattering like a sparrow that she right away caught glimpse of Jacob leaning on his car. Tapping on her friend,she held her hands and strode towards Jacob's car .

" hey! isn't this the famous and handsome Mr Jacob." Priccy shoke hands with Jacob who in return gave one of his killer smiles.

Annabelle just shoke her head while sultry whispering to her friend who acted like a deaf.

Then a guy appeared wearing sweaty pants with golden chains hanging on his neck. Holding his iphone,he tapped on Annabelle's shoulder scaring her to death.

" Hey girl! do you remember me?" He asked observing Annabelle's facial expressions.

But Priccy didn't give him an opportunity when she replied " are you Mr president,her father or some sort of celebrity that she should remember you."

The guy felt ashamed because all his life he had never met beautiful ladies but with a cold attitude towards him. He just thought Annabelle looked like someone he knew. Not wanting to make things difficult,he left with a solemn face.

Annabelle tried cajoling her friend who seemed pissed off . Jacob looked at them as they shared a special bond between them which was more than friends.

" Mr Jacob can you give us a ride,we will pay you next time if we get a chance." Priccy said winking at him. She made Passersby to have an illusion that she was in love with a handsome guy.

Annabelle was almost going crazy from Priccy's behavior. She behaved as if she was so close to Jacob. This didn't sit well with Annabelle because she never wanted to get involved. " Apromise is a debt remember that." Jacob broke the tension between them.

Opening the door for them like a gentle man, Priccy forced Annabelle to sit Infront with Jacob. Having complished her mission she sat behind and plugged her airpods in her ears.

Annabelle sat in the passenger seat but her dress kept moving upwards. She pulled it gently not to attract the dude's attention cause he might think that she was purposely seducing him. Igniting his Mercedes he had caught sight of her actions in the corner of his eyes but tried to keep his cool. Man she's so beautiful with a curvey figure and every man's dream girlfriend or wife but she was totally ignorant when it came to matters of the heart.

Leaning on the window,she closed her eyes, however her sleeping face was so peaceful without the cold she directed towards him maybe with other men.

Priccy who was behind saw everything that transpired between these two and hoped for Annabelle to open up her heart in the near future.

The car halted making Annabelle to wake up from her short nap . They both thanked him while holding their shopping bags .

Jacob made a U-turn and his car vanished among several cars on the road.

Knocking on the door, Sabrina opened the door perplexed. Seeing her beloved daughter and priccy whom she hadn't seen for ages was very happy.

Lolita who was busy watching SpongeBob heard the commotion at the door and dropped the remote and ran towards the door. She screamed excitedly as she saw her beloved sister and priccy.

They shifted their gazes as they were scared out of their wits thinking something terrible had happened to Lolita. " Could you stop scaring us kiddo." Sabrina reprimanded seriously. " Am sorry for scaring you all, please forgive this brute child " Lolita apologized sincerely.

Annabelle, Priccy, Sabrina and Lolita entered the house in tow. Placed the shopping bags at the table and shared pleasantries as they sat down. " Mom,am sorry for taking a long time without visiting." Annabelle said with sorrow in her voice. Hugging her daughter, Sabrina patted her back since she couldn't complain as her daughter is always busy.

Lolita took Priccy to her as she was so excited to show her the pictures she had drawn in her art book. Entering the room,it contained a mini princess bed with walls painted in pink. The soft carpet under their feet made it comfortable for anyone to sit.

When Lolita brought out her art book, Priccy was fascinated by her drawings and fell in love with them. She made a mental note to speak with Annabelle inorder her little sister's talent not to be buried.

Inside the kitchen, Annabelle placed all the groceries she bought in a fridge and her mom prepared lunch.
