Are We Going to Elope? (2)

Jude slowly went to her side and squatted. He held her hands and sighed. There's so much to tell this young lady here, but she was not in her right mind right now.

"Leah, there's a man holding my hands," Rose exclaimed while being mesmerised by Jude's face contour.

"Uh... Man? It must be Jude." Leah answered her nonchalantly with her eyes closed. Her head began to feel heavier and slowly she was drifted into slumberland.

"Jude..." Rose whispered his name then slowly closed her eyes and inhaled the air that surrounded by Jude's scent deeply and she was smiling, contented. Jude could only shook his head in helplessly.

"Jude... Can I have a kiss? Do you know that I have never kiss a man before? From the moment I met you, I always have this weird urge raging deep inside me. An urge to kiss you. I don't care what people think of you. I don't care if you have thousands, millions or even zillions of flings out there, as long as I can have a taste of your lips. Don't you know that you have sexy lips? It is beckoned me to..." Rose inched closer to Jude who was still in his daze upon listening to her long speech ."Kiss you," she kissed him for the second time. This time around Jude did not reject her kiss instead, he welcomed her with a passionate kiss, forgetting that Jeremy was still there watching them kissing each other. Jeremy darted his eyes to other directions and pouted his lips.

Uncle... Please don't torture my little heart with your public display of affection. Won't you afraid there might be someone taking your pictures kissing so passionately in the middle of road? Uh, fine! You don't mind anyway.

"Come I send you home," After a while, he swept her up in bridal styles and carry her to his Range Rover Evoque. After he secured her with the seat belt, he turned to Jeremy who was stunned next to sleeping Leah.

"You drive Rose's car and send Leah back safely." Then he simply slipped into driver's seat, ignited the engine and drove off, leaving Jeremy alone with Leah. Jeremy sighed. Fine! I'll send her back!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you going back to your parents' house?" Jude asked her while focusing on the road. Rose leaned comfortably against the leather seat and shook her head. Jude frowned.

"Then, where should I send you?"

"Your house," Rose answered him nonchalantly. Jude was on the verge on insanity by her behaviour that night. He had learned to control his rage and emotion, hard. If it was some random woman to act the way she did, he will undoubtedly kicked them out. But well, he never drove them back. He usually have someone to send them back, no matter what is the situation.

This time it was different. This lady next to him is someone that he had intention to marry. This is the first time he kissed a woman, passionately at that. And she is sweet.

At the thought how she told him that she had never kiss a man made him smiling from ear to ear and deep within his heart, a rose was blooming fragrantly.

"On the second thought, why don't we elope?" Jude unconsciously stepped on the brake and the car stopped abruptly by the roadside. He looked askance at her.

" We can't elope," he refused her directly. Rose pouted her lips. Jude who was watching her unknowingly moved towards her and kissed her pouty lips. Rose eyes widened, shocked by his assault.

"Now tell me, where should I drop you? You are drunk," His voice stern this time around.

"I have nowhere to go. I don't want to go home. Not when..." suddenly she was on the verge of crying that made Jude speechless. He really have no idea what should he do in this situation. In the end he drove to his place.

"I don't want to go home!" Rose refused to come down from the car and she even closed her eyes. Jude sighed. Gosh! It was so tedious to please a woman!

Ouch! My god! She even had the audacity to kick me. Jude crouched on the ground, grimaced in pain while held his abdomen. Jeremy who had rushed out just in time to see his lady boss kicked his uncle on his abdomen.

He quickly went to his uncle and helped him up.

"Are you okay uncle?"

Once Jude regained his composure after being kicked by the young lady, he went straight to her while Jeremy gulped in nervousness looking at Jude's darkened expression. Without an ounce of hesitation, Jude scooped her up and carried her into the house with Jeremy trailing behind while Rose continuously slapped his shoulder to beg him to put her down. Just simply ignore her. Once they entered the house, Jude didn't stopped at the living room, instead he brought the unrestrained little woman straight to his own bedroom since the guest room was occupied by Jeremy.

Jude swiftly put her on the big bed and stretched his shoulders since they had became the victims of the slapping from Rose earlier. He quickly pour himself a glass of plain water form the little bar in his room.

Rose who was momentarily stunned after being placed on the big bed, sprung to her feet.

"You stay here. I need to refresh." With the said note, Jude simply walked towards the bathroom leaving Rose alone. Rose smirked. Like I care...

Rose looked around the room and was mesmerised with the way Jude decorated his room. Simple yet sophisticated.

"Uncle!" the door opened from the outside and there, she saw Jeremy came into her view with a paper bag.

"Er... You're somber up?" He was hesitated with the way Rose eyeing him.

"Uncle? You are his nephew?"

"Yep, I am. He is my maternal uncle." Jeremy proudly admitted that he was in fact Jude's nephew.

"Ah..." Rose nodded her head.

"Here, your clothes. You might want to get a change," he passed her the paper bag.

"Oh, thanks." Then Jeremy swiftly left her. She didn't realise that Jude was stood right behind her back. So when she turned around, she crashed straight into his solid chest. To make it worst, she had her head down, so basically she realise that Jude only had his pants on whereas his six-pack was exposed thoroughly. She didn't know how long had she stared at his muscular abdomen until Jude held her hand and brought her into the room.
