Ride With Jaxson

Miracle's POV

I am excited about the guest house project and the tour. Many have booked already to have a day tour since the custom house is still under construction. I am sitting on the patio chair using my laptop. I am plotting to have packages for the day tour, and I am also planning for the guests who will stay at the guest home in the future. I stop with what I am doing and I love watching the view that goes to the vineyard. This place is breathtaking, our estate has the same scenario, we have a beautiful scenery at home, and I can look at the lake over our balcony, but I like it here because I don't see many bodyguards. I can only see employees and laborers of the farms.

I am calling my dad for how many times already, I guess he is attending a conference or a meeting again, then my phone rings, and I am so happy to look at my Dad's name on the screen.

"Dad!" I exclaimed.

"What can I do for you, my girl?" He asked.

"Nothing, but I want you to say thank you for this project Dad, I realize I am stubborn about being your successor but I call for you to know I will try my best Dad." I said.

"I'm sorry Mira if I am pressuring you, I don't mean it, I just wish you to have an interest in our businesses. I don't want my hardships will go to waste. That is why if you need to start something like that just to be ready, I am cool with it. Just tell me how you choose to do it, sweetheart, and I will be glad to have modifications." My father answered.

"This is fine with me Dad, there is just something I want to ask."

"What is it, Mira? You wish for a new car?" He asked.

"No, Dad! I have so many cars already." I replied I can't believe my dad, he knows I don't fancy material things.

"Yes, I know, but I want you to have your car over there, and let Charles or Jace drive for you." He added.

"Dad, that is unnecessary, but I prefer pickup Dad." I said, joking, and I realized I need an automobile once the tour will have its official soft opening and I propose to do it next week, I discovered Grandma Amelia hasn't started it yet, she already told me everything. All the things she mentioned the tours are in for the show. My father wanted me to have an interest in tourists, so they plan, but they already process all the papers and permits needed for the business. All I require doing is proper implementation.

"If you buy me a car Dad, please just a simple car will do, I don't need a luxury car over here. I am working here Dad, I am not having pleasure."

"You can do both Miracle, now tell me what is it you need?" He asked.

"Yeah! I almost forgot I would like to request to pull out the trainees named Stella and Chad from the marketing department, I need them here Dad. Please let the Human Resource do their jobs." I suggested.

"Okay, but I want to talk to them before they will go over there, I demand to brief them and examine them for myself since they will work for you." My father responded.

"Whatever Dad, just send them the soonest possible time, okay?" I answered and I can't keep my smile on my face. I am so excited to meet them both. I am sure they will love Annabeth's farm. I am still smiling and holding my phone when I sense someone is standing behind me, I turn around and found Jaxson looking at me the whole time with a tray in his hands. He moved closer to me and put the tray on the table.

"I am just wondering maybe you want to have some juice and cookies." He said, and he is starting at me the whole time.

" Stop staring at me that way, Jax." I said.

"Why?" He asked and smirked. He looks so handsome and fresh. I can smell his cologne.

"Nothing, you make me conscious, you know, and thank you for the drink, you don't need to do this." I spoke honestly.

"It is my pleasure Mira, he moves closer to me I felt my heart racing, I can't deny Jaxson has still the same effect on me, I can feel the rapid beating of my heart. I looked up at him since he is standing tall. He bent down and brought his face closer to mine and whispered in my ear.

"I never stop loving you, Miracle, I always dream of kissing you and I yearn to touch your body all over again." He said, and he left me with trembling knees. I felt warm and I hate myself for feeling this way. What is wrong with me? He is my past I am trying to forget, I know deep inside me, I long to see Jace, but I can sense he has been avoiding me after I slapped him that night.

Speaking of the devil, I saw Jace out of the corner of my eye entered the house, and he is giving me a hard look. What is his problem? I am tired of begging him to have me in his life, maybe Jaxson John is the answer to all of this, but I don't want to hurt Jax at the end, I care for him that much and I don't need a repeat of our past. But if being friends with him solves my trouble with Jace to make him realize I am not someone, he can't just ignore. I think I have to bring it on, I am Miracle White after all.

I continue my search, and I am proud of myself that I am able to come up with five packages and I can't wait to show it to my grandma. I want to go to the city and do some shopping since I wanted to buy some gear and outfit for the ATV ride.

"Grandma, can I borrow your car?" I asked upon entering the living room, but I can't find her and I searched her around the house when I almost collided with Jaxson.

"Whoa! Easy in there, why you look like in a hurry?" He asked.

"I'm sorry, have you seen grandma?" I asked him.

"Nope, but why are you looking for her?"

"I just need to borrow her key, I want to have some shopping." I said.

"You can come with me, I have some important things to submit to our office, if you want, you can come with me and I will just text you if you are ready to come home, then I will pick you up." He said, and I am having a second thought since it is a long ride, and I am not yet familiar with the road.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Yes! Come on." He said smiling at me, and I am shocked when he holds my hand and tugged me in going to his car. Jaxson is still holding my right hand when we met my granny at the door and I can see she arched her eyebrows, I forcefully removed my palm from Jaxson's grip.

"Grandma, Jaxson is leading to the city center and I want to have some shopping, I wanted to borrow your car, but he offered me a ride." I spoke and I suddenly felt guilty, I am not doing anything wrong.

"Jaxson?" She asked.

"Well, I have two names Amelia my first name is actually Jaxson." He explained.

"Oh, I see, okay, have fun Miracle." Grandma answered.

"Bye Grandma." I replied and I follow Jax going to his car. His pickup is brand new, and I am impressed. Jaxson turned into a different person, yet I can still feel the same boy I fell in love with years ago.

"Can we have lunch together Mira?" He asked, I am trying to avoid his eyes that is why I am looking outside the window.

"Sure!" I don't want to turn down Jaxson's invitation because he is my ride. We eat lunch first, and he takes me to an expensive restaurant.

"Thank you, Jax, for taking me to lunch." I said, and I looked him in the eyes, and he smiled at me that made my heart melt.

"I wanted to take you to a proper date Mira when you were my girlfriend, yet you know my situation back then, and I am so embarrassed by myself at that time. I wished we met in different circumstances where I can take you to places like this." He declared.

"Jaxson, you know me, I don't need expensive food, I am born with this kind of life. Please don't be ashamed of yourself. It wasn't your fault." I replied.

"I know Mira, I just want you so much that If I could only turn back time, I already  did." He said and looked at me intensely, I don't know what I feel at the moment. It seems the feelings I have for Jax almost six years ago are still there, but it was now overshadowed by what I felt for Jace. Do I need to keep hoping for Jace to choose me at the end, or am I willing to give Jaxson a second chance?
