Chapter 4: Stay... Stay
(Jasmine's POV)
I sneaked out of the apartment and just told Caspian I was going out, thankfully he didn't ask questions he was just worried about where Riley was. I looked at the phone and it said "9:30", I contemplated on if I should go see him or not. I got inside my car and said to myself "Why the hell not." I drove over to Allan's house, I noticed the twins and Nadia's cars were gone. I pulled in the driveway, turned my car off and walked over to the front door. I tried to talk myself out of knocking on the door, I asked myself "Why are you even here right now Jasmine?" I bit my lip and thought "Well because I want to see him, I'm curious to see how he is doing." I talked myself out of looking stupid in my head so I turned around, right when I did the door opened and Allan said "Jasmine?" I slapped my forehead and reluctantly turned around, and said "Hey! I was just going to see how you were doing but I really should get going." He leaned on the doorway, raised his eyebrow and with his sexy accent questioned "But you just got here and you didn't even ring the doorbell, I saw your lights and came tot he door?" I bit my bottom lip hard and shyly said "It's fine, I see your good now and now I can leave. Nice seeing you." I put a thumbs up and he titled his head and said "Uh uh stay, come on just stay for a while. Nadia and the twins are at Alex's place, just come inside get some wine talk a little?"
I looked back at my car and he grabbed my arm pulling me inside quickly, he shut the door behind him and said "Come on, a little wine never killed anyone." I shrugged my shoulders and slowly followed him into the kitchen, he grabbed two glasses poured some wine in them and said "Come on, I'll start the bonfire." My eyes widen and I walked outside to his huge yard, I sat down next to the fire pit and said "I've never been out here, I didn't know you had all of this space." He smiled and handed me the glass of wine and said "Yes I landscaped the whole thing myself, managing the pool can be a task but I love going for a night swim." Once he mentioned swimming I looked at the pool and zoned out....
I imagined him taking off his shirt slowly revealing his ab's, and his tall toned figure slowly walking down the stairs and into the pool. Wetting his beautiful hair, his hand reaching out for me to join him. I would strip down to my bra and underwear and join him for a swim. I could hear his accent whispering in my ear sweet things, and jazz music playing in the background. I snapped out of it when Allan clapped his hands to grab my mention, I looked at him snapping back into reality and he said "Am I boring you?" I laughed and played it off "Not at all, I just have a thing for swimming." He smiled and said "The pool is heated, so if you would like you can go for a swim." I smiled and flirtatiously said "Only if your going in with me." He sat down his wine glass and said "Okay let's go." I slowly followed behind him, he walked down the stairs and took of his shirt and like my dream he had amazing ab's. They were toned and he had a tight six pack, I looked at him up and down and said "Not to bad for an old guy." I winked at him and he said "I am not old." I smiled and said "Finally!" He tackled me into the water, thankfully my clothes were already off.
I swam away from him and put my hair in a pony tail, I wiped my eyes and said "That totally was not fair." He swam closer to me and said "Life isn't fair Jasmine Berry" I laughed and seductively said "Oh I love the way you same my name." He smiled and said "Jasmine, Jasmine Berry." I smirked at him and said "It amazes me how strong your accent is and you have been here since you were 16." He pulled his hands through his hair and said "The Italian never dies love." I went under water and he followed me chasing me, I finally let him caught me and I dunked him. He came up from the water and said "Foul play. Not fair" I laughed and got in his face and said "Life isn't fair Allan Accardo." I laughed and said "I love it when you call me big poppa." I gasped and splashed him in the face, he laughed too and said "Let me grab us some towels." I smiled and asked "Are those heated too?" He rolled his eyes and said "Actually yes they are." I snapped my fingers and said "Oh your fancy." He laughed and seductively said "I try to be love."
I rolled my eyes at him and swam around the pool waiting for him to come back, he came back with the towels steaming hot but he was on the phone. I tried to listen in but not show that I was being creepy, I heard him on the other end "Okay thank you for the call, I will get in touch Monday morning." Allan's facial expression was saddened, like he suddenly remembered everything going on in life. He walked to the stairs and held out the towel for me, I swam over and got out of the pool. He wrapped the towel over me and I asked "Are you okay?" He bluntly said "I am fine." I touched his shoulder and said "You can talk to me Allan." He stepped away and avoided looking at me and said "There is nothing to talk about, not with you. Excuse me I have to shower and take care of businesses, you can change in the bathroom by the door. Thanks for stopping by Jasmine." Before I could even respond to him he was already walking inside the house and upstairs, completely ignoring me.
I thought to myself what the hell went wrong, we just having fun and talking then in the next second he just shut down and shut me out. Maybe I was thinking too much into things, maybe we weren't friends like I thought we were. Maybe it was time for me to let go of that idea and just go back to being all about me, no matter how much I enjoyed spending time with him...
