"Hey Grumpy where are you going?? leaving me here." She blabbered as she scurried along.
"I need to take shower and relax, do you want to join??"
"Gross.." Nina voiced.
"Then why coming with me??"
"Don't be ridiculous Grumpy,"
"We aren't real."
"To you I guess." He replied giving her a side eye.
"What's with him." Nina muttered and hault in her steps.
She suddenly turned around to the nearing sound.
"Welcome Aunt." Lucy greeted, clumping onto her arm.
Nina smiled at her and held her hand too.
As they stroll around the mansion, Nina tried hard to control her reactions, the beauty was too much to behold.
"It's huge and Beautiful." She complimented.
"Yeah it is, you need to see the pool and my brother's favourite garden, it's a wow, he loves it but I will steal it from him." Lucy explained enthusiastically.
Jack inside the mansion, searched everywhere but couldn't find Nina. He panicked.
He dialed hee number but her Mobile was off.
Jack rushed back upstairs to check the rooms again only to see through the transparent glass.
"They get along so fast." He muttered.
Lucy pushed Nina into the pool and they were now playing, splashing water on each other.
"Tell me aunt, How did you meet my brother??" Lucy asked.
Leaving Nina flabbergasted, she was thrown aback by the question.
"I think I need to go now."
"Why Aunt?? we having a nice time here." Lucy whined.
"Yes, we will do that some other time."
She moved swiftly to come out of the pool, but fell back instantly, leaving Jack chuckling hard at her.
"Aunt, you need to wait, let me get you a towel."
"Here." Jack appeared from behind covering her up.
"Let's go." He muttered to her ears.
Her heart flustered and it beats rapidly in her chest.
She held the towel to her chest, walking slowly and accumulating cold.
Jack had no choice, he swept her off her feet.
"What are you doing?!" She tried to yell but then muffed it in immediately knowing Lucy was still around there.
Jack smile at her.
"{Why is he doing this now! you are confusing me grumpy!!}" She screamed inside.
"Wife you need to eat well now, you've lost some weight."
"Hun?" Nina exclaimed and her cheeks heated up at once. She couldn't stop blushing, that was way out of it.
She tried to hide her heated cheeks on his shoulder but Jack already saw it, she was embarrassed.
"Don't be." He muttered and brought her more closely to himself.
-------------------
"I bought you a car for a job well done." Jack muttered as soon as they get to house.
"Over there." he pointed.
Nina finding it hard to believe refused to react.
"Wife.." he called seeing her not stepping forward.
"I know I will never be able by get this kind of thing in my life, but why pranking me."
Jack pull a serious expression.
"It's yours. go close to it and you'll realize."
Nina refused to take any step.
Jack held her hand taking gently along.
Nina's eyes widened, and her mouth covered with her Palm as she saw it.
Her favourite teddy drawn on the car with 'Nina' boldly written on it.
She sprung up.
She held him tight to herself.
"How should I thank you?!" She yelled loudly as she let go.
"You've done so much for me and changed my life! I don't know how to pay you back for this! I will surely miss everything when this contract is over."
Jack's face turned sullen immediately, his mood changed and he breathed in heavily. It was a contract after all. He was broken but managed to composed himself.
"I don't miss, I've always been cool and I don't get attach." Jack bragged through gritted teeth and sets to go but Nina saw the pains in his eyes. He was absolutely in pain even though the annulling date wasn't near. She could see it.
"Jack." She called Making jack almost tripped in his steps.
He never heard her call his name except for Mr cold and grumpy she usually called him.
Nina focused her gaze on the floor while he walked slowly to her.
His heart rampage in his chest.
"Nina." He called.
Nina looked up at him and eyes locked.
Nina's heart was strangling in her chest, it beats so fast she almost lost her balance.
Then a huge voice of distraction at his gate.
"Hey Jack I'm back!! I can't believe you are just some steps away from me now!!" Alex screamed at top of her voice.
She packed her car recklessly and rushed down towards Jack.
"You even got my favorite car for me!!!!." she screamed, holding him tightly smiling ear to ear.
"It's not for you. And why are you here." Jack muttered coldly to her.
"To see my boyfriend of course!! Wait is this how you welcome me after such a long journ from abroad?!"
"Please leave.!" He muttered and held Nina to leave.
"What?!" Alex exclaimed looking flabbergasted.
"Don't give me that look, we broke up." Jack stated coldly.
"Wait, Jack who is she!" She asked screaming with all the energy she's got.
"I have no business answering your questions, leave my house now."
"No! you can't do this ! you are mine!!! Jack!" She yelled.
Nina realized he has someone else, her face turned sullen and her heart broke to several pieces.
"It's okay, you can go sort it out." Nina muttered and removed her hand from his grip going upstairs to her room.
"I knew it. She isn't your type, nobody is. You meant for me Jack. We are meant for each other."
Jack watched as Nina goes away.
He turned around abruptly.
"Alex, we have nothing to talk about, we broke up and you are well aware if it. what is your motive?".
"Jack I only know we gave each other some space, we never break up! What are you saying! you can't leave without me Jack! and I can't t!"
"You even got her my favourite car!! what is she to you!"
"Just leave." He muttered one last time and turned his back.
"Just know I will never give you up." Alex voiced and left to her car driving out recklessly.
