In Love With The Heiress

Chapter 5

Jacob smiled at Aisha but she didn't smile back at him. She had a strong look of defiance written on her face which he saw. This didn't bother him because he knew that she had come to confront him over the video call.

"You know I don't like you, Mr?" Aisha felt disgusted even standing and talking to him.
"Call me JC. Pleasure to meet you, Miss or Mrs?" Jacob held out his hand to shake Aisha who only stared at him in disgust. She was still bitter about the intrusion into her phone.

"You tend to think that something is very wrong with me, abi?" She asked.

"What do you mean?"
"First you see loneliness. Then you can't decide if I'm Miss or Mrs."

"You are right about the first one."
'How so?"
" Just a guess, but you've been dating all the wrong guys. Oh, ehm by the way, I like to call them shy guys. They are not healthy for you."

"Oh just because you say so?" Jacob ignored her and asked for his glass to be filled again. He then sipped his drink and placing the glass down, looked towards her friends.

"Those are your friends, right?"
"And what if they are? How does that concern you?" She asked as her eyes wandered up and down him.
"Well, they will convince you to throw me out. But that's not what you want." He looked into her eyes. "That's not what your heart wants."

Aisha knew Jacob was hitting at her and coming close to exposing her desire for him. She was playing a defiant game in which she was losing ground. A quick turn to look at her friends gave her some courage to stand up to him again.

"They look out for me." She replied looking at Fiona and Fatiha who were busy drinking and talking to each other. "We look out for each other."

She kept staring at him and didn't know what to think of him. Jacob kept doing his best to smile at her. However he was sure she didn't approve of his presence. He gulped down his drink and stood very close to her and looked right into here eyes.

" You're very beautiful, and I love beautiful women. Spend some time with me."

"Seriously?" Aisha asked
"I'm not joking."
"And how will that ever happen?" Jacob smiled at her.
"That green bra you had on? That's you filled with hope." Aisha laughed and shook her head.

"I pity you, JC."
"Does that mean..."
"It simply means you just admitted to committing a crime."
"So wanting a beautiful woman like you, has now become a crime?"
"What you did? That intrusion? Only weirdos do that. I could get you arrested for that, right now." Jacob sighed and looked at his watch. He felt he had done what he needed to do to get Aisha's attention.

" And would you?" He asked, giving her a look that got her unable to stare away.

"Try me, JC. Just make one wrong move and you'll know who I am." Jacob looked around the club. This was not the pub so he knew that Aisha's bodyguards had lowered their guard and we're less active.

"I'll call you. Just keep your phone on. Next time wear a different bra. Red is sexy." Aisha was breathless and watched Jacob leave her sight and walk out of the club. The minute he left, her two friends came up to her to congratulated her.

"Aisha wow! I bet you tore that guy apart to make him leave the club so quickly?" Asked Fiona. She took hold of Aisha's hand and raised it up in victory. Fatiha was curious to know what Aisha had told Jacob.

"What did you tell him Aisha? I mean, it's like sometin pursue am run commot." Fatiha carefully observed Aisha and wondered what had got into her. She quickly took hold of Aisha's hand and led her back to their table. When they all sat down, both Fiona and Fatiha were waiting for Aisha to say something. But she kept quiet making them believe that Jacob had left the club on his own.
