Dollhouse

chapter twenty three

*Tomorrow morning*

Jiha POV :
I walked out of my room with sleepy face and narrowed eyes. "Who the hell is calling this early on morning?!" I went to the living room and saw his phone ringing on the couch.
_I seriously have to thank him for lefting his phone here to ring all it wants and then wake me up. How kind of him!
I rolled my eyes and scoffed ,looking the screen and caller ID. "Secretary miller"  I grabbed the phone and then rejected the call before heading to Jackson's room. My dear ice man is probably still sleeping.
I knocked on the door of his room but he didn't answer, I knocked again, he didn't answer again so I got annoyed and pushed the door open and entered but he wasn't there. "..he's not here..?" I looked around the room but the only thing I saw was his boxers brief from the open closet but to be honest he has a damn neat room. I let out a chuckle and opened the bathroom door but I screamed at the sight of him half naked.
_fuck...i got rot again.
He noticed me in the reflection of mirror and spinned around, frowning. "Don't know how to knock?"
Jiha : "it's not my fault you don't lock the door, how am I supposed to know you're here?!" I tried to hide my embarrassment and look at his face not his abs or lower..
Jackson : "here's your room or mine?"
Jiha : "you but_
Jackson : "get out" I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms. "I don't want to"
Jackson : "can't you just get out of my sight for one day?"
Jiha : "first of all, watch your tone. Second of all, don't you think something is missing?"
Jackson: "hm? What's your mean? "
I smirked and held up his phone. "Thank to you, I woke up from my sweet dream." He sighed and held out his hand. "Give it to me please"
Jiha : "next time if it rings and wake me up again I won't just give to you, I throw it straight out of the window. I handed him the phone and got out of his room.
_he has a nice body, doesn't he?
"shut up, just shut up"
I couldn't sleep after that so I went to kitchen and made myself a delicious breakfast. I placed my plat on the counter and poured some chocolate milk for myself. A few minutes later the grumpy ice man entered and maked a coffee for himself, dark just like himself.
When be saw me he frowned slightly.
_god will he ever stop frowning?
"Get off the counter." He commended.
Jiha : "I'm not a gorrila, I won't break it. What's wrong with sitting on the counter of My kitchen?"
Jackson : "you won't break that but yourself, yes. Get off" he said coldly and walked to the cabinet. "Ice man" I muttered and got off the counter,  sipping my chocolate milk.
A few minutes later while I was eating my breakfast I heard him talking to his phone, saying something about booking a flight
_heh, the more I don't see him the better..
My eyes suddenly widened.
_no no no it's not better at all.
I quickly interrupted his conversation with the caller on the phone. "You can't go!" He raised his eyebrow and looked at me "excuse me? " his tone was clearly annoyed.
Jiha : "you can't go...wherever you want to go"
Jackson : "why? Would you miss me?" He said sarcastic. I glared and then took a deep breath so I wouldn't cause an argument this time. "We're invited to a family gathering this weekend...both of us. "
Jackson : "what family gathering?"
Jiha : "a family gathering in my family's beach house, out of town. I don't know why but we're invited and we will go."
Jackson : "you will go, I'm busy"
Jiha : "yes so busy that you don't even answer your secretary." I smile teasingly.
Jackson : "you need some classes to learn how to close that pretty mouth of yours. " he said seriously, his eyes boring into my. I crossed my arms. "If you have work to do, cancel it, we WILL go to that gathering."
Jackson : "don't you have your own feet and drive license? Just go by yourself, it's your family's gathering." He said in annoyed yet tired tone. He still was on bad moods. I just frowned.
_what's his damn problem? When I get on his nerve, he pushes me away. When I talk normal and politely, he pushes me away. Does he have good sides at all?
I watched him leaving the penthouse. A grin slowly appeared on my face.
"I got to go, I have lots of thing to do...lots of things."

*two days later. Friday afternoon*

Jackson POV :
I just had wore my suit and was ready to go to airport but when I looked at my phone screen my eyes widened. "What it this!?...how is the meeting already started? My flight two hours later, it was supposed to start at six o'clock." I ran a hand through my hairs and called secretary Miller.
Secretary Miller : "yes Mr. Weng?"
Jackson : "I want an explanation, very quick!"
Secretary Miller : "excuse me sir, I don't unders_
Jackson : "why has the meeting started this early? I haven't even gone to the airport yet."
Secretary Miller : "oh, I thought you wanted like that..i mean don't you know?"
Jackson : "know what?"
Secretary Miller : "your wife called me and said you can't leave this weekend so i cancelled the flight and let the other  Investors know you can't attend."
Jackson : "my wife?!!"
Secretary Miller : "I'm s_sorry Mr weng. I thought.." I sighed.
"It's okay" I hanged up and pinched the bridge of my nose. "God damnit you jiha"
I burst into her room and galred at her while she was casually putting lipstick on. "What the hell is your problem jihanah Jones!?"
Jiha : "me? I don't have a problem, I'm so fine" she gave me one of those stupid sarcastic smiles.
Jackson : "who gave you the right to call my secretary and tell him and cancel my meetings and flight, huh!? "
Jiha : "as your dear wife I completely have that right." With every word that came out of her mouth, my blood started boiling more. She was professional at making me furious cause no one, literally no one ever could get me so angry in such a short amount of time. "We had settled some damned rules, we DON'T interfere EACH OTHER'S business!!"
Jiha : "why so angry? Your secretary said that meeting isn't necessary."
Jackson : "you're really the shittiest person I've ever seen in my life, jihanah." But she didn't give a shit to my words and picked up her handbag and walked out of room.
"This girl will be the death of me!"
Jiha : "are you coming or not?"
Jackson : "what?" Jiha turned around. "The family gathering, at beach house, remember?"
Jackson : "so that's why you cancelled my meeting? A stupid family gathering!"
Jiha : "do you think I want you to be by my side at every fucking public events?!! I'm in no mood for arguing, facing our parents and be questioned. So just come with me, you're acting as I asked you to sleep with me!"
Jackson : "not very unlike you" she frowned and cursed at me under her breath and then went toward the door of penthouse. "The hell with it, don't come with me at all" I followed her with my eyes as she was walking out of penthouse. "Huff" I leaned against the wall and rubbed my temples. "Why do you have to be so stubborn..?"
I went to the kitchen to at least drink something but a pink small bottle of pills on the counter caught my eyes. I grabbed it and shook it. It was full. "...pills..?"
_why is this...wait!...no no no! Why do you do this to me jihanah, god!
I tightened my grip in the bottle of pills and rushed out of penthouse, trying to catch her.
