Grey just raised his eyebrow and Jean recoiled but the moment she let go it was another thing.
"Fine let me sit here."
Her eyes shot open when Jaden compromised to massage her stomach. "I'm sorry I owe you one."
He snorted but he didn't know this offer will work well for him in the future. She couldn't help but start rambling out some things as Grey used his phone with one hand.
"To be honest I felt like ants were crawling in my tummy a few seconds ago and it feels like they are gnawing my body."
Grey put away his phone, it was basic etiquette to put away your phone when talking with someone. He just sat silently as Jean rumbled.
"In the military I never felt this way not even when I was in high school. Its really unbearable. Again this feeling seems a little familiar but can't put a finger on it."
Jaden just listened as he massaged her till she fell asleep thirty minutes later. He tried lifting his hands slowly and fair enough, she just frowned before going back to sleep.
"Guess it has reduced."
For a germaphobe, staying clean is the first thing and Jaden was almost going insane from the possibility of him not showering tonight. When she fell asleep, he took his phone and left the guest room.
Voom!Voom! Fella's phone started vibrating but it was still in Jaden's pocket. He was surprised when he saw the name on the screen.
"Dad? wasn't Fella an orphan? I knew that guy must have some problems."
He simply switched it off and kept walking.
At around 3 o'clock in the morning, she woke up thanks to hunger. The first thing to do was to fill her stomach.
"No pain? Finally time for princess to eat."
She knew this was Jaden's home and to be honest Jean had nothing to fear as long as she doesn't meet him in the kitchen. She assumed he was asleep somewhere in this house.
"Let's go do some eating."
Jean tiptoed in darkness as she used the reflection from the security lights to make her way down. Her night vision was very good and she could clearly make out the objects in darkness. In stead of walking slowly, she simply jumped over the stairwell and landed on the ground softly.
"Damn this house is huge. I will buy such a big house it makes moving easier."
As Jean walked towards the kitchen she looked at a certain that was a lot darker than the rest of the house but she knew every place had its own ghosts. She thought she felt a human's presence but then it vanished instantly.
"Seems there is a teddy bear in his house. Weird fetish, such a big man with a teddy bear in the living room. Pathetic."
Grey who had plastered himself on the wall had marks on his forehead, a teddy bear? Him? He continued observing Jean who had entered the kitchen. He had let loose his aura to test her and it only took a second for her to look at that spot. Shows how sharp her skills were.
A murmur interrupted his thoughts.
"Oh God, it seems I have to put on lights but it will wake that Tiger up. Lets try, 1, 2, 3."
Then the kitchen lights lit up. Jean ran towards the fridge but to her dismay it had one packet of frozen beef smokies only.
"WTF!! What does this guy eat? Bachelor's are quite pitiful. That's why he seems so thin judging from his hand."
Jaden who was almost leaving, for the first time felt a wave of anger rising from his chest. "If you don't speak no one will say you are mute."
The glass in her slipped off when Jean heard the roar. He was not asleep?
"You... I just"
Her words were cut short when Jaden took her hand and placed it into his shirt on his stomach muscles. Their eyes went wide open when they met, they didn't expect that to happen.
Jean pulled her hand back immediately and tried to say something but her mouth was absolutely uncooperative. On the other hand Jaden was even more surprised, he was 27 years and he had never been impulsive like this but his situation was complicated.
He walked out immediately and slammed the door behind him. He went to his bedroom to sleep, he convinced himself that was nothing because his body was just a burden to other people anyway.
He couldn't do it so why risk someone's daughter love life.
"What was that!"
Jean who was in the kitchen finally got over her embarrassment after she drunk a glass of water. A charming smile broke on her face, " Never knew touching someone's muscles could be so enticing."
If Grey saw the dreamy look on her face, he would definitely regret putting her hand on his stomach.
She ate thirteen pieces before she felt ok, at the same time a beep was heard on her phone.
"CARROT 2PM"
Her actions froze, that was a code they used to communicate. She had to make to Country N by that time. She had training tomorrow and also she needed to book a flight immediately. The flight from Jade city to Country N took approximately 2 hours.
She had to make everyone meet for practice at six in the morning.
It was five in the morning, she had to pass the information across. "My phone? Fuck I left in the arena. Jaden's laptop or phone will do but my identity."
Think princess! She paced for some seconds before rushing upstairs.
Knock! Knock! The door was opened after two seconds, Jean took a step back reflexively when he saw Jaden in a bath towel with wet hair and bare stomach.
Didn't he learn his lesson? Her eyes followed the flowing droplets of water till they reached the v-line.
"My eyes are up here."
She whipped her head up but evil thoughts had already embedded themselves in her head. It was Jaden's turn to step back but he thought it would be cowardly so he suppressed his urge to step back and continued looking down at her as she moved closer.
Before She could touch the muscles, she felt a warm gush from her nose.
"Jean, you are nose bleeding."
What! Jean didn't even raise her head when she ran away. She ended up hitting a wall and to add to that she heard a low rumbling laughter from behind.
God where will I put my face in this city.
How could that happen? She wasn't that whipped ok? And she still likes HawkT alone.
Jaden who ripped what he didn't sow was extremely pleased at her embarrassment. He closed the door and went back, but his expression changed when he saw the email on his pc.
"Hello, Carlos schedule the afternoon meeting in the morning and make sure all the important files that need my sign are handed to me in the meeting and also book a flight to Country N at 12 noon."
"Yes boss."
He even forgot about training, he was a busy person and Fella's issues could wait. But Jean who placed importance on that game launch was fumbling with her watch after she cleaned up in the guest room.
"I managed."
She simply hacked into Fella's WhatsApp account and made an announcement.
"Training from 6 in the morning to 11 in the morning."
Joe: Captain that's too early.
Flex: ...Save your breath.
Jude: In.
Seth: Morning person.
Austin: Changed name from Austin to Skye.
Skye: In though you should expect a surprise.
Frank: Finally you can chase boss if you want.
Fella: An idiot who thinks with the other head even in the morning.
Frank : Forgot boss is yours.
Boss: Still want your legs?
Grey didn't want to answer the chats at first but Frank had to name him and that Fella guy didn't even know where his phone was.
He had so many meetings before 12 so he had to get going. Jean also dressed up and was ready to leave at five thirty in the morning.
"Got somewhere you are going? Madam General with nosebleed."
"Hey Jay, don't call me that in front of people. My image would be gone."
Jay? Grey repeated the nickname in his head before he made his way towards the door. He didn't have a reason to reject the name, so he ignored. Jean who gave the name on the other hand had a reason, she found this guy to be a worthy friend maybe. He wasn't as heartless as people deemed him to be and he could be her friend it doesn't hurt.
So when Jaden didn't refute the name she knew he was in for friendship. Just like that Jean made a friend for herself.
"Can I read with you? Just drop me at the mall near Golf park arena." Jayden raised hid eyebrow when he heard her name Golf park but he still remained silent.
"Are you really this miserly with words?"
