Lust for Love

Chapter 32

I sat across an annoyed Jacob in James's office alone for some reason. I did ask him to meet me during my lunch break but not in this manner.

Okay, let's keep calm first, and let's try to reason with him about the whole Travis situation first. As shameless as I may seem and however much I don't want to admit, I need his help to resolve this.

"Umm, Jacob, sorry I messaged you late at night," he looked curiously at me as if expecting something he already was expecting in a way, "I, actually, yesterday, the thing is . . ."

Damn it why am I stammering so much just say it in one go.

"I need your help with the whole Travis situa..." before I could finish what I had to say, Jacob cut me off in the middle while pouting.

"Don't wanna!"

Huh? 'Don't wanna what?' At least listen to what I have to say.

"Jacob, at least listen to what I have to say!" I placed my hands on the desk as I tried to get him to look in my direction.

Am I missing something?

I tried hard to think if I have done something to displease him.

I did call John without telling him.

Is that it?

Or did using Lucy's phone tick him off?

Or is it because I'm talking about another guy?

I kept wondering and seeing him pout, I couldn't help but think he looked cute despite the fear I constantly felt of what kind of plot he might be cooking in his crafty little brain.

I need to get this whole situation sorted and make sure to get his attention to me so that he doesn't ever try conspiring against anyone close to me.

"Jacob, did I do something wrong?" I genuinely tried. Used my puppy eyes too.

He looked at me surprised before bursting out in a menacing laugh, "Seriously?"

Geez, what do want from me? Just spit it out already!

"If you succeed in pleasing me today I'll think about it." he looked outside the window as he spoke.

This is just another one of his whims is it now?

But I'm the one who needs his help to resolve it, although he's the one who shamelessly created this mess, to begin with.

And to boot, he probably already has an idea of what I want from him at least w.r.t. to the Travis situation.

If only Travis wasn't from a dangerous background, I would have sued his ass in the court!

But I can't risk it.

What if he's another psycho and decides to exact his revenge on Juvi or Gray.

No! Never gonna let that happen.

I walked over to his side of the table and made myself comfortable in his lap. I felt a little humiliated but also a sense of being his lover, although the sentiment feels so skewed.

I gently turned his face toward me as he nonchalantly stared at me before slowly closing in on his lips until they gently touched mine.

He didn't hug me nor try to touch me or even move his hands placed on the armrests which made me even more bashful as this was the first time I ever tried to initiate anything.

Was-Was I always the selfish and spoiled one?

I thought feeling a little annoyed as I could feel Jacob's lips curving into a smile. I tried tugging on his lips to arouse him but he just wouldn't do anything.
