AFTER the dinner, Lisa invited her to an all-girls day out which was next week and though Cainan softly told her to turn the offer down, she nodded and smiled.
Cainan made his way towards the park where his car was and he told her to stand at the balcony and wait for him and while she waited for him, Ada took hold of her hands as she came to stand beside her.
"Mrs Abayomi," she said with a light gasp as her action took her by surprise.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you, child." She apologised.
She bobbed her head in understanding, "It's fine."
"I need you to take good care of him, Jasmin, he has been through so much loss and sorrow and most people don't survive from such loss, but he's as strong as he is stubborn and I'm glad he's got someone with a strong will as you in his life."
"You think I am what he needs?" Her voice was hollow and confused at Ada's imputations.
She just smiled, "You're what we all need and I hope Cainan realise what he has with you and choose to hold on to you and you have to do the same."
She didn't know how to respond to her word so she just bobbed her head.
They will be holding on to each other for the next couple of months that was a guarantee.
Cainan drove the car came over to her and she bided goodbyes to Ada before walking away.
"What did she say?"
"She wants me to look after you."
There was humour in his glittering eyes, "Did you tell her I wasn't invalid?"
"I didn't, that would have been rude and that was a side of me you said wasn't needed at this dinner."
"You're very good at being corny,"
"And you're good at being a temptation." She mumbled and when she saw him smirk darkly, she knew he heard her.
"You should never start a game you can't finish," he told her in response.
She wanted to tell him she wasn't playing games when she touched him, but she decided against her better self, "What would they have said of me if I had ended up reacting because you wouldn't stop touching me?"
The corner of his eyes crinkled at the thought which he didn't consider earlier but a smirk appeared on the corner of his lips in response, "They would have realised that we are very much attracted to each other and weren't just saying it to make them happy."
"I don't understand, you mention that you were a very private person yet you were ready to make your girlfriend moan at the dinner table with your family."
"You're mad." He pointed out.
Her cheeks flushed, "Yes! I am!"
"About what exactly," his eyes flickered to hers before going back to the road, the smirk still curled at the corner of his lips, "that I touched you intimately while at the dining table with the rest of the family or that you were turned on by that act?"
She glared at him because she knew he was enjoying this, even though it was at her expenses. She turned away and stared out of the window, keeping her silence.
"If you didn't feel comfortable with my touch, why didn't you just push my hand off your thigh?" When she still kept silent he continued, "I'll tell you why, because you liked it, you loved having my hand on you. It turned you on because you want me too."
"I do not." She lied and that didn't help matters because they both knew it was a lie.
"That's a lie and you don't have to lie about how you feel, it's natural to be attracted, we've been in each other's company for a few weeks and it is bound to happen at this point, but I can promise no more surprises, is that better?"
