CHANCE

Chapter 4: Love Blooms...

I didn’t expect the sudden dizziness I felt when I smell the ammonia in his handkerchief.. All of my awareness had been blocked out.. And I fainted.

Francis POV

The day that I was taking a nap at my house after going back from Beacon and learn about Jamie. I called Williams for updates about her and I learn that she will be having a vacation in here. But the thing I got jealous is that she travel with a man, I know she’s with her bestfriend, but after everything I experience about relationship I’ve been very territorial especially for what is mine.

Yes, I want her to be mine… That’s why I planned of getting to be close with her. I need to get her at my place for us to know each other, the way she looked at me a while ago she is angry at me.. If I didn’t do this we will never have the chance.. This moves really ruined my image to her but who cares, I don’t want to loose her. Since the first time I laid my eyes on her I already felt something from my heart. Until I got the report about her it doubled my eagerness to have her and take care of her. This may sound crazy but I need her for me to be healed from my past…

She is my fortress if only I could tell that to her right now but I don’t want her to freak out and hated me for what I’ve done to her, I’ll make sure that this vacation for her will be memorable and she will never forget it.

One of the boys ask me on where will we bring her on our way to the exit, they help me clear our path while I carry her to my car. I don’t let them touch her that’s how I want her. I went to the back of the car and let Nate drive us to the port wherein my favorite Yacht is waiting on us. I let Nate arrange everything for us for our first date together. Every detail is well prepared just for her. This is just one of my hundred Yacht but this one is my favorite.. I named it Crown Princess, its my new Yacht collection actually, I’ll change into names when I found the one that stay with me till we grow old… I carry her to the cabin of my Yacht and after that I got out. I see Nate standing not faraway from the Yacht waiting for me…

“Are you sure, you need to do this to her?”

“Trust me Nate this will work…”

“Give me a call if things wont work out.”

“Yeah, I’ll do that”

“But right now I just need to get to know her..”

“What about her companion?”

“You’ll do as I say..”

“They are at the hotel right now.” Said Nate,

“I’ll give a call to her friend later, I’ll explain to them..”

“No need, just enjoy your time with her! I’ll arrange a tour for her friend over our place”

“Ok bro! I know you have tolerance on her…” I said after patting his shoulder.. He just smile at me.

“ Yeah! Go! Get going before she woke up and discover your pathetic ways of getting to know her…” I said to him. “If she only know how lucky for her to have you…” Franz look at Nate like he want to tell him that he owe him a lot but he just nod and turn around to go in the Yacht and start the travel.

Nate is kind of moody right now. He never expect that dealing with Diane, Jamie’s friend makes everything difficult for him.. She really freak out when she discover that we kidnapped Jamie for my friend sake.. And she really have the guts to kick me were I can’t tell the heaven and earth. She really kick me in the middle as if I can’t peep the whole night. That woman is really pissed on us, she hated us for what happen. Diane is also beautiful, if things didn’t happen fast maybe I could court her.. She was the first woman to hurt me that way! And she have his boyfriend with her so its impossible to get to know her.

In my 36 years of life I tried once to be in a relationship but after that I have been busy in assisting Francis in all of his business engagement since he became the CEO of the company.. Were like brothers even though his more older than me. I stay at his side since the time of his failed marriage with Kiara, I saw how he suffered a lot. That incident really broke him so much, that is why I help him in arranging this date for him and Jamie. I like her to be with him, by the day I’m investigating her I begin to admire her. Her courage to finish her study even though she is alone in life, her courage to continue life with positive outlook really gives me the feeling of being grateful for having a complete family that supports me. Yes, I have a complete family… I still have my parents, and my only brother. I’m the younger, my eldest brother is the one running our own company, his encouraging me to help him but I choose to work with Francis. I’m such a nuisance in the Family. Maybe because I am the younger so I can do whatever I want without thinking my future.

ON the Yacht

As my consciousness comes back, I stretch my arms, all of the things that happen sink in my head. I stand up, as I saw him sitting on a couch near the bed I laid on. As I saw him watching me while sleeping I feel so ashamed.. Why did he do that?

“Where am I ?, What do you want? You really have the guts to kidnap me! You Bastard!” She said as she freak out.

“ Is that a new line for getting to know you?” I look at him straight on his eye to express my hatred on him..

“ You bastard! Who gave you the idea that I want to know you?! I will never do that!” I yell at him to let out my frustrations on our first meeting at Beacon..

“Really…” he touch my face and I shiver as the feeling like 1000 volts of current are running in both of our skin.

“No! Don’t touch me!” I hold his hand to stop him from caressing my face because I’m afraid that my body will betray me…

“Why the sudden aloofness my love?” he told me.

I look at him and said “ What do you want?”

I look back and said, “I want to know you…”

Jamie was really speechless she never expect that this man is also interested on her as she want him too. She stand up, and laugh at him to mask her desire for this man. “Are you kidding me MR.?”

“I’m serious Jamie I really want you!” And she laugh at me.. I was so insulted in the way she figured out on what I said.

“ Oh! Nonono.. This can’t be, you kidnap me just to tell this? Are you crazy!” I said to him..

“I just want to stay with you while your on leave…” I said to her.

“ What about my friends, we supposed to have a peaceful vacation and you ruined it! You ruined my plans!”

“ Its not ruined love! We can travel San Francisco with this Yacht. And after 2 days we will go back to my place and I promise you will enjoy the scenery..”

“ Why did you do this huh?!”

“As I was saying, I want you! And I want to know you… Spend your entire vacation with me…”

“Then what about my friends? Diane, John and Damien…” After hearing Damien’s name I saw him frowned as if I said things that pissed him off.

“No! You spend your vacation with me! And that’s final!” As he uses his boss dominating voice on me.

“Don’t instruct me on what to do, because you don’t have the authority!” I yell at him. “ I will do spend my days on the people I want to spent with..” she added.

I look at her with jealousy in my eyes. “My patience are too thin Jamie don’t forced me to be rude on you!” I saw him clasp his hand as if he’s so angry on what I said.

“You bastard! You kidnap me just to follow all your ways! I hate you!”

He come near me and hold the back of my head to kiss me.. I can’t stand the feeling that its giving me. I like his kiss.. I like to be caress by him, and the kiss is real! I open my eyes to see what his reaction, he close his eyes as if tasting the best candy he might have at the moment. I was give in by the situation… i don’t even know that my hand that was at my side was now hugging his neck.. He deepened the kiss that it felt so intoxicating… It was like a drug that keeping both of us alive. And this is my first kiss, I felt his hand going to my breast as he caress it I came back to reality.. “No! Don’t!” I hold his hand to pull it off from the inside of my shirt.

“Ok! We have a lot of time love!” He turned around for me to fix my appearance before we go out and see the scenery outside. “Fix yourself… I’ll wait for you outside..”

As he got out. I was about to shout but I realize that he was outside waiting for me… “ Is this really true?” I ask myself… “ If it is a dream, please… don’t wake me up!” I told to myself. I touch my lips and I can still feel his lips touching mine… I was acting like a teenager at the moment.. And the fact that its really my first kiss, I feel so embarrass that I don’t even know how to answer his kiss… It so shameful…

As I was waiting for Jamie outside, I was smiling on myself.. I will make her stay with me, I swear to myself. I will take a fair fight with Damien but right now I really don’t know if I can control myself. If I could make her mine now I will do it but I don’t want her to doubt my intentions on her, or my purpose either. I will make her fall in love on me.. I promise to myself because right now all I want is her.. She is my peace of mind... She is like my long lost behalf...
