She let her eyes travel down all the way to his shoes and trailed up his hot long legs, which was quite visible in the suit trouser he was wearing, she looked up further and saw a muscular arm bulging beneath a white shirt and her eyes moved to the his chest, even without seeing it she could tell it was a firm and appealing chest that laid beneath the cloth, his shiny black hair complimented his looks well. And now she was back to his eyes staring at them intensely and he have her a hard stare back, all this while his grandma was pretending to be asleep.
"I know you are not asleep, your mouth will start to hurt if you don't melt the candy with your tongue" he said coldly again and immediately the old woman started munching on the candy and slowly opened her eyes facing her grandson's angry one, as if preparing for war she was already glaring at him. "I'm not stopping you from taking candy, you're going to be examined anyway" Grandma glared even harder "I don't want to, I won't . You don't get to control me just because I'm old, I'm your grandmother" she said and hit her walking stick noisily on the floor.
He looked at her unbothered with one hand in his pocket, he checked the time. "You should know better than that grandmother, we have to go back now" he said not leaving a space for argument. Jade had snapped out of her reverie fhe moment they started to argue and she frowned at the tone he used last and decided to stand up for the pitiful old woman "You shouldn't order her around like that, she can stay whereever she wants" she said drawing his attention back to her. "Nobody asked for your opinion, you've done enough harm already" he bit back making Jade feel bothe guilty and furious.
The old woman held her hands and face her grandson "Don't be so rude to this nice young lady, I'll just go back with you already" she said as she made to stand up offering Jade a grateful smile, her grandson moved to help her stand and she brushed him off while mumbling "don't touch me, bad grandson....you're the only one who doesn't treat me well and still threatens me" she moved slowly and steadily to the first class space while he followed behind her.
He suddenly stopped and turned towards the angry Jade "Learn to keep your wandering eyes to yourself" he retorted making Jade's eyes go wide and red, he turned away without waiting for her to reply. She glared at his retreating figure while huffing angrily "So rude" she flips her blonde hair and peered at the people nearest to her wondering if they heard his last comment. And she was so embarrassed when she saw one woman smile at her knowingly. Not bothering to look at anybody else she slid down her seat and covered her face all the while cursing at the rude handsome specimen.
.......................................................
Jade dragged her suitcases all the way to a taxi her brother booked for her after apologizing for not being able to pick her up. "Here's the address" she stretched out her phone to the driver who acknowledged her "I know the address already ma'am, the man who called me gave it to me" he said politely with a toothy smile. "Oh .... alright" she said and returned a smile. "This is what a normal man is supposed to be like,..... polite and patient" she thought as she compared the taxi driver to the rude grandson on the plane.
"But I guess he can't be considered normal, with such a handsome face and hot body. So maybe he does have a privilege of being rude. He's not like this man or every other guy I know" she concluded and looked out the window. A smile found it's way to her lips as she stared at the streets of Manhattan. It was so similar to New Jersey, it was auntumn in New Jersey and its the same at Manhattan.
Looking at the bustling street, she concluded it was definitely a good idea to come here. The weather here was the same as New Jersey but what made it better is the urban liveliness here which is not there. There were towering skyscrapers everywhere here compared to New Jersey, she was so invested in the environment that she didn't know when they got to the apartment and just as she thought it was another towering house, a three story building. She got down and looked at her phone "room 303" that was certainly going to be on the top floor.
She groaned frustratingly at the number of luggage she'd need to drag all the way up, the driver entered the taxi and drove away. Leaving her with her luggage of stress, one by obe she dragged them into the gate and luckily for her, on her third round outside, she saw a middle aged man whose dressing told her he was a security guard walking towards her.
Flashing him a smile "Hi, I'm moving in into room 303" she provides him with the information he'd need. He nodded"With Mr. Becker is see?" She nodded "I'm his sister" she didn't know why she felt the need to explain further but she did anyway "Ah! Welcome Miss Becker, here is the key to the room....Mr Becker handed it to me to give you when you arrive" he said with a smile and passed the key to her. He helped her moved the luggages to the elevator, she only moved one but she was huffing and puffing as she leabed inside the elevator looking down at the luggages she had to move again once the elevator stops.
"Thank you" she still said to the security guard who helped her this far, just as the door was about to fully close she saw a hand stop it and the security guard came into view again "I'm guessing you'll need help moving all these to the door" he offered and stepped in with her "thank you so much for your help" she said feeling relieves, her "thank you's" is definitely paying off. Soon enough they were on the third floor and she had to say she was impressed all over again.
"My brother certainly did good for himself" she thought as she saw how nice the place looks. Four years ago when she last stayed with her brother before moving to New Jersey, he was living. In. A single bedroom apartment, but now he had certainly worked hard enough to afford comfort, she thought and felt proud of her brother. Standing in front of the door with all her luggages after bidding farewell to the security guard, she pulled out the key card that the security man passed to her and opened the door with a click. And she was amazed by the sight before her.
