Do You Care For A Cup Of Coffee?

"I am sorry, boss," The driver apologised with a trembling voice. From that moment onwards he dare not repeat the same mistake for fear of what will become of his precious eyes.

When they reached Jackson's white mounted gate, the automatic gates opened on recognizing the car. The journey from the gate to the Mansion took about ten minutes.

"Boss, I bet you must be very tired so let me wake the lady up," Thomas the driver said as he stretched his hand to touch Jasmine who was still fast asleep. Jackson slapped his hand away before it could touch Jasmine.

"Did I complain to you that I was tired...," His slight movement in slapping his driver's hand combine with the tone of his voice made Jasmine slowly opened her eyes. It took her two minutes to get familiar with her environment. On realising that her head was resting on someone's shoulders she quickly sat properly.

She was slightly surprised when she realised that it was Jackson's shoulders she was sleeping on earlier.

"Where are we? I thought we were in the hotel earlier?" Jasmine asked as she looked out of the window. The beautiful flowers used in decorating the front of the Mansion caught her attention. She smiled as she stepped out of the car. Seeing that the beautiful scenery of his house has captivated her, he also stepped out of the car.

"This is my Mansion, you were sound asleep earlier that is why I did not wake you up," Jackson now standing beside her said.

"Your Mansion is nice, the beautiful flowers add a lot of charms to the white walls. I must admit you have a unique taste. Just like that of a woman," Jasmine said smiling as she stares at the Mansion.

This is the first time she has ever complimented me. Even when I dress super nicely she doesn't compliment me, I guess the rumours that she adores flowers was not a lie.

Jackson thought smiling at her.

"Do you care for a cup of coffee?" Jackson asked. The way he said the words so nicely surprised Jasmine. She couldn't resist turning around to stare at him.

"Are you perhaps talking to me?" Jasmine asked looking so surprised.

"You can reject to come in, I won't take it to heart," Jackson said in a cool manner as he headed towards the entrance of the building.

Is he alright?

Jasmine thought as she stares at his departing back.

She got over the shock when he turned and stare at her.

"Since you took it upon yourself to invite me in for coffee I won't reject your kind gesture," Jasmine said as she walks elegantly towards him.

"Welcome to my home, make yourself comfortable," Jackson remarked the moment they stepped foot into the sitting room.

"Ice Prince is white perhaps your favourite colour. I am asking because the exterior of your Mansion is white and so is the interior," Jasmine said as she stares at the interior of the Mansion. She shakes her head in satisfaction after she was through accessing the Mansion.

"The interior is not only white, but it also has a shade of sky blue colour...,"

"And I am certain you are not the one who added the shade of blue. Someone must have asked the painters to add it when he/she realised that the building only comprises of white," Jasmine said as she walked over to the blue couch and sat down with her legs crossed.

"How did you know?" Jackson asked as he sat down on the opposite couch.

"I just know," Jasmine said smiling.

"Your Mansion seems so quiet. I haven't got a glimpse of a single soul when we came in, don't you have maids apart from the security guards outside?" Jasmine asked as she centred her attention on him.

"I do but they have all gone to their quarters," Jackson said carefreely.

"You...,"

"What would you care for, coffee or juice?" Jackson offered before she could speak.

"Coffee, make it sweet," Jasmine said. The moment Jackson stood up to get her order, his stomach made loud grumbling sounds. Jasmine turned and stare at him.

"I haven't eaten for two days now, I guess that is why my body is reacting this way," Jackson said smiling awkwardly.

Goddamn it, why did you have to make that sound at such a crucial time? You have just ruined my perfect image in front of her.

Jackson cursed inwardly.

"Wow, you sure neglect your meals more than I do," Jasmine remarked.

"If you are hungry to the point that your stomach reacts this way, how about you call your chef to prepare you something nice?" Jasmine suggested harmlessly.

"The distance from where my chef stays to where the Mansion takes about fifteen minutes to walk to get here so I don't think it is very nice of me to disturb his beauty sleep just for a plate of food....,"

"Your chef isn't staying in your Mansion? And I never knew you were a very considerate person," Jasmine said staring at him.

"He is staying here but I hate noises that is why the workers building is situated far away from the main mansion and you don't have to worry about me the hunger will go away after I fall asleep," Jackson said before he walks towards the kitchen.

"He is willing to go to bed hungry just because he doesn't want to disrupt his chef sleep? What a weird guy he is," Jasmine said staring in the direction he took.

Five minutes later Jackson came back with two cups of coffee in his hands.

"It has been over six years since I last cooked but I can give it a try although I can't guarantee whether the food will taste nice," Jasmine said the moment Jackson handed her the cup of coffee.
