Love Takes Two

Chapter Twenty-Three

Jamal pushed his chair back,got up,picked his glass cup which contained Blue Hawaii,before sauntering to the beach. His eyes picked the cruiser that was just moving out of the dock,at the far end.

The lights spilling from the deck,made everything clear. He could pick out the head of two people, and he didn't need any telling about who they were.

He knew them,since he himself was the one who led William to the excursion reception office. He also knew that the woman with him was Ella.

Jamal sipped his cold drink as if that would help wash away the burning jealousy he was feeling at the moment.

He wanted Ella.

He wanted her so badly that he would do anything,just got make her his. The truth is that he didn't even know where to start. Jamal knew that he had only himself to blame,because if he hadn't lied to Ella about this being his first time here,she would still be talking to him,and maybe he would be the one taking her on a boat dinner,not that other man.

But if Ella thinks that he would let her go that easily,then she had another thing coming. He,Jamal,had never loose anything to anyone ever since he was born. Which is why,there's no way he would let that man have Ella without a fight.

"Hey." Maddy stopped beside him with a smirk on her small face.

Maddy had been watching Ella and William discreetly ever since she saw them together at the lagoon and what she saw so far was not pleasing at all. If that Ella keeps getting closer to William and if they keep kissing like they did this morning,it means that she would loose William forever,which is why she must act fast.

In fact,she just found someone who would prove to be of great assistance. And the person is Jamal,which is why she was here to convince him.

"Hey." He replied, without taking his eyes off the cruiser,that looked tiny in the distance.

"I am Maddy,and since I hate beating around the Bush, I would state the reason why I am here." Maddy moved a little closer to him. "I know you want Ella,am I right?"

Jamal glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. The lady was pretty,he would give her that. She looked so thin that any strong wind would blow her off her feet. Her hair and eyes were her best assets. Her light green eyes made a man want to fall on his knees and her hair had a mixture of brown and pale blonde.

If he wasn't so into Ella,he might have considered taking her to bed.

"How do you know that?"

Maddy's upper lip lifted at the corner in a half smile. "I just know,Jamal." He gave her a startled look,which made her laugh. "Don't look so surprised, I know your name already."

"You sound like a stalker."

"I am not." She patted his arm. "Back to your attraction for Ella,I can make her yours forever."

Jamal's insides became lit with hope,but he didn't let it show on his face yet. "How am I supposed to believe that?"

"You don't have to." She shrugged. "But if you really want Ella for yourself,then you would."

"Let's say I agree,now. What would you do to make her come to me willingly?"

"Many things,believe me. And I am not sharing until you agree. The choice is yours."

Jamal scratched his head with his free hand. "Why do you want to help me?"

"I am not helping you,I am helping me." Maddy clenched her hands. "The man with her is my business,I want him for myself. That won't be possible if he's still with her."
