Jewel's POV

"I know you were scared of me crashing your babe. Im glad you slightly trusted me"

We both got out of the car and walked to the shore where the air pushed my face, tangled my hair, there I sat down. Jackson followed too.

"So why are we here?"

"Who wouldn't want to be here?

"Rachel?"

I chuckled and stared at the mesmerizing scenery with my hands playing with sand. Jackson sat beside me and took his suit off and placed it on my shoulders that covered my arms to feel heat on a cold and breezy night. I looked at him and complimented him.

"Is this the Jewel I know?!"

"I hate you"

I spanked him and we both chuckled.

"Thanks for doing this for me Jewel."

"You don't have to. I actually also wanted to meet your relatives and I actually loved them."

"So are you saying we're friends?"

"Acquaintances"

"That's enough for me"

We both chuckled and talked about the most random thing we could ever think  of until we reached about cars.

"How come you know guy terms about cars?"

"Well, my brother was a racer so he taught me stuff about cars and their accessories. But when he was driving to pick me up from school, the breaks of the truck wasn't working so it crashed my brother's car with him inside."

I didn't realize that tears were running in my face after telling him what happened to my brother. I just felt his finger wiping the tears as he pulls me closer to him. I was starting to feel heat in my body and breathe heavily.

"Im really so sorry."

I can say he was really sincere and I was really touched. Anyways, so much for the drama, I asked him about his love life since he never told me anything about this "girl". So after I asked him, my eyes grew wider knowing that he likes Stacey Campbell and that Stacey and Rusell are dating. I just remembered about the King and Queen of the Night.

"Well, since Rusell is already taken, I guess taking your boyfriend as a partner wouldn't suck? Jackson smirked"

"I would love that"

"Anyways, so you are not liking anyone right now?"

"I think there's one but I think she wouldn't feel the same"

"Why not?"

"Because she likes someone else"

"Does she have a boyfriend?"

"Nope"

"Go for it then"

"Nah"

"You're a jerk"

"Well, I just don't want her to act different around me after I tell her I like her."

"Okay fine Im not forcing you on telling me but I expect you to soon"

We both got up and headed back to  the car. We both buckled our seat belts and turned the radio on. We were on our way home and while I was staring at the road my eye lids started to fall. It felt like I just closed my eyes for a minute and Im already home. I woke up and yawned as Jackson opened the door for me.

"Thank you. I hugged him and kissed him on the cheek"

"For what?"

"Trusting me with your car"

"That's nothing. I should thank you for sticking with me even if you know that I can handle Jenny and tell Rachel if I want to"

"I know you wouldn't. I trust you"

"I know I would regret saying this but Im glad that I knew you. I mean, I would hate every jock Id see on the field but I guess I'd make an exception."

"Im serious. What did you do to the real Jewel? He jokingly panicked"

"I was so right about me regretting the words I just spoke"

"I was just kidding. Anyways, are you free tomorrow?"

"I think so. Why?"

"Relatives wanted to invite you for tomorrow's event"

"And that would be?"

"Well, our family usually holds charity events every year and this years event would be big"

"Where would it be held?"

"I'll just pick you up okay?"

"Come on"

"Okay we will be in a cruise with all the other guests from other countries and of course our chosen charity. I know you like charities so please come"

"How did you know that?! I said surprisingly"

"Sources."

"So you did stalk me?"

"Well, mom wanted me to arrange last years photos and I happened to see a photo of you in the background"

"Wait. You own A'postrophe?!"

"Something like that"

"Oh my goodness! You know your dad is part of Forbes Magazine right?"

"Yeah and it sucks"

"How come?"

"Come tomorrow and I'll tell you why"

"Okay fine. What time by the way?"

"I'll pick you up may be 7AM"

"Okay fine"

He smiled and headed to his car. I leaned on the front door until I cant see his car on the road already. Took a deep breath, my heels off and went upstairs to get ready for bed. So much events for one week.
