Chapter 16

JOHN'S POV

We were already in Las Vegas.

We, myself and miss Jasmine.

I heard a call from Mr Charles about a party he wanted us to attend tonight.

Breakfast was already ready,so I went to the kitchen.

Miss Jasmine wasn't down yet,but I got to have a chat with Mrs Trenton.

She told about how she felt about Miss Jasmine.

She said she remind her about someone that I used to invite here before everything happened.

After what happened last year,I had closed up. Until now, Miss Jasmine challenged me so much but some times messed up the reasons I left it.

Footsteps brought me out of my thoughts.

"Good morning,Miss Jasmine".

"Good morning, Sir".

When is she gonna stop calling me that? it really disturbs me that she still call me sir outside the office setting. Not bad though.

"Can you stop calling me Sir", I begged.

"What else am I meant to call you?".she said having this confused look on her face. it was so cute.

"John". I told her.

"Ok, John......."

That's better.

When she wanted to go out to the park,I quickly stopped her.

I want to take her to the park,but not today. We have a lot of places to explore and need to get a dress for her.

"We already have plans for today". I told Mrs Trenton.

"Oh really? And what would that be ,why didn't you tell me about this information earlier?" she said it in a sarcasm tone but it's didn't suit her.

"In reply to all your questions,yes, sightseeing, shopping,party. And I was about to tell you right now.

"Sightseeing fair enough but shopping and party? What is that about?"

"There's a formal function this evening for a friend of mine,we will be going and you need a beautiful dress". I replied her back quickly.

"I have dresses".

"Formal ones?"

"Formal enough".

"No arguments Miss. Jasmine. I will be buying you a dress for tonight's function and that is the end of it".

I stood up and left.

A few minutes later,we were already in the car been whisked away into the centre of Las Vegas.

We visited a lot of places.

We visited the Red Rock Canyon, The Mob museum, found of Bellagio to met a few. I also toke her to the High Roller.

I could see in her eyes that she was very excited by it all and her eyes lit up with all the sights.

When we went for lunch,I left my guard a little and we spoke so well.

Now we were on our way to the famous dress shop because I knew the owner.

Walking in,the sales girl ushered us inside.

"Hello how can u help you today?", she purposely bend down a little for me to see her exposed b**bs. Not today b*tch.

"My fiancee needs a dress for a formal function. Money isn't a problem as far you give her a gorgeous and alluring dress".

I saw her facial expression as she tried to think about what I just said. Her face was so funny but I had to keep a straight face.

'Of course,if you'd follow me please ma'am?" The sales girl looked pissed.

"Off you go, wifey." I pushed 'wifey' forward and sat down in the waiting area.

Sitting down,it felt like forever. What is in shopping that women take too much time to do.

"I found the right dress , John!" She called out to me finally.

"Wowwww! Can I see?"

"Noooo!!"

I was waiting patiently downstairs for hours.

Women!

I heard the clicking of heels on top of the stairs,so I turned around.

When she told me that the dress was perfect,she actually meant it was damn perfect on her.

"Jasmine,you look.... wow!"

"You too" she replied quietly.

It was only when we got to the car thag I realized,I actually called her name for the first time. And it felt so right.

At the function,we had to socialize with the people so we made small talks with some few and then we met Mr Charles. We chatted for a while before he went to look for his pregnant wife.

As I was going back to Jasmine

"I'm going over to the bar to get drinks for us. Don't move from this spot." I had heard that Michael is attending the function,so I have to be in guard.

As I was going back to Jasmine, I saw him talking to her.

"I was invited. If I did known you were going to be here. I would have insisted you were my plus one." he said lifting her hands up to his lips just like in did in my office.

Before they could connect, I took her hand away.

"Too bad Michael where is your date for this evening?" I was so angry. For a good reason.

"She's somewhere around. I was nice meeting you again, Jasmine. I"lol call you about that raincheck."He glared at me before he walked away.

"What was that about?" she asked me folding her hands across her chest. She was so stubborn which I applause her for.

"We are gonna dance. Come on".

I pulled her over to the dance floor and pulled her close to me.

"You didn't answer the question".

"Ask another one". I can't tell her about it.

"Why did you call me your fiancee?"

I chuckled. Of course that is what's she did ask.

"It was fun. The look on both your face was a picture but yours entirely".

"Oh thanks" You did realize you almost gave me an heart attack with that prank that you pulled."

"I know," I smirked," I bet I can give you another heart attack".

"What do you mean?"

"Well wifey,I could do this."

With that I smashed my lips on her.

She was into it at first,but she pulled away.

She looked behind me and I knew what it was.

He was partly the reason why I did that,but the other part was that I had to.

It felt like instinct.

She ran off out of the hall to stop me but I tried to stop her.

She doesn't know him like I did.

History will repeat itself and that can't happen
