Chapter 14

Jack and I are now arrived at the grocery store. He briefly parked his white Lamborghini car then we both walked out to the store.

I took the list out of my pocket and saw what we needed to buy as Jack was getting a shopping cart.

"OK. We need a bag of macaroni and pasta." I informed Jack. "Can you get them??"

"Sure!" He turned and walked away to find what I asked him for while I took the cart with me and went to get flour and cacao powder for the cake.

Jack has come back and asked what else he should get. I told him to get sauce and vegetables while I was getting the beef ribs then walked to the snacks section.

I was thinking of buying some snacks in case we went somewhere. I picked several bags of chips and sweets. I remembered Liz always likes Skittles, so I got two big packages for her. I wanted to buy Cheetos, but it was out of reach. It was placed up high on the top shelf and I was slightly jumping in order to reach it. I gave up and started to stand on my tiptoes, raising my hand up high, hoping I can reach it.

I then felt my back pressed with a hard chest as there was a tall figure closely behind me.

"Next time, ask for help, idiot!" Jack whispered closely to my ear with his deep, husky voice. He got three bags of Cheetos and put them in the cart.

I was still thunderstruck of what just happened then realized what he said.

"Hey!! I'm not an idiot!!" I exclaimed with my hands both on my hips.

"OK OK... Next time, ask me to help." He then started pushing the cart. "Anything else??"

"No. Come on, the others must be starving." We went to the cashier.

One thing I have noticed during the period, everyone was looking or specifically, staring and flirting with Jack, but he kept his smug face on, not even caring about it a bit. And I received lots of lovely and meaningful jealous stares and glares, but I'm immune to them, so I couldn't care less. I mean it's the norm to see the three wealthy and handsome bachelors getting checked out or wooed.

We're at the cashier and the guy there was scanning and kind of smiling and looking at me which was a bit uncomfortable for me.

All of a sudden, Jack put his arm around my shoulders and asked me.

"Do you need anything else, sweetheart?" He turned to face me and asked softly and sweetly then glared at the cashier, looking like he was about to murder him fresh and alive.

"Uh... N-No." I muttered softly while feeling queasy and uneasy with butterflies flying independently in my stomach.

"OK, if you want anything, tell me, okay??" He pulled me to his side more closer that it was now a side hug.

The boy seemed to now concentrate on his job and waa feeling a bit nervous. Jack insisted he paid for the groceries then gave money to the guy, glaring and jaw clenching along the way. We then went to his car then drove back to my house, not wanting to open up to what just happened.

We shortly arrived home afterwards and my workers helped us get the groceries into the kitchen.

Liz Collins

It has been almost an hour since they were gone and we three with the help of Sally, have already prepared everything. What's taking them so long? Full version of smirking*

"Gosh.... When will they come, I'm starving!!" Asher groaned as he was munching on some Pringles.

"What's taking them so long? We told them to go grocery shopping, not on a date." Sam grumbled, joining Asher, putting some chips in his mouth.
