Chapter 28

"Be mine".

I was going to over-analyze it like I normally do but I remembered my mom's words.

"Live your life. But you have to let someone in to do that".

So that's what am gonna do. Throw caution to the wind and go for it.

John was still waiting.

Breaking into a smile,I finally answered.

"Okay".

He grabbed me and kissed me again like it was everything. It started getting late so we went back to the house.

He carried me from the entrance and continue kissing me till he drop me at the entrance of my room.

"I really wanna continue kissing you till forever but I will release those cherry lips because they are very tired", he said.

I chuckled and looked at me, pretending to hug him. But ended up stealing a kiss from him and quickly entered my room shutting the door. I heard him when he laughed and walked away.

I pulled my dress ,and fell on my comfy bed falling asleep.

Dreaming the dream of the night I had.

JOHN'S POV

I had tasked Ella with helping me get Jasmine ready for our date tonight.

She had no idea what we were planning all along. We would be at a masquerade ball but not all through the night.

I haven't seen the dress that Ella and her boyfriend,Lucas picked out but I knew the colour.

Ella bought a mask and a tie for me with my credit card that actually match hers.

When I got to the venue,I knew I will pick her out easily, everyone was on black or silver tonight.

Everyone's eyes turned towards the door when she arrived. There's that same weird feeling.

She walked towards someone,who I realized was Ashley and Dave. She spoke with them for a second and then I lost sight of her.

She popped out again and I made my way to her.

She stiffened a little when I grabbed her hand

and pulled her to me but when she looked up and saw me she calmed down.

We danced for a while before I put the surprise on motion.

I told her to follow me, Ashley and Dave gave me a thumbs up.

I took her to the rooftop that I'd set earlier. The guy who owns this place allowed me use it. We attended the same college together.

She was quiet for sometime and it worried me.

Did she not like it? Was it too much?

That was when I saw the smile I adored.

" It is amazing!" she turned to me.

I took her hand and the song I had picked started playing. We danced for a while and it was the most innocent thing but it felt like more.

I couldn't help myself from kissing those beautiful cherry lips.

the first time,it just felt like I had to. I couldn't stop,I was addicted.

Which WAla why at the end of the night, watching her stare at the skyline I knew I couldn't let her go.

. words came out and I meant it with every fibre of my being.

"Be mine".

She thought for a second before answering.

"Okay"

That was all I needed to hear.

She was mine.
