Chapter 5 It was almost midnight, and sleep was miles away from Kara’s eyes. She was adamant not to choose the ring; however her traitor heart didn’t follow her brain. She was swiping the photos of rings, right and left. She liked all the designs but one stood out. And she loved it. It was a princess cut with a big diamond surrounded by small sapphires. She was admiring the ring when her phone vibrated indicating a text message. Bipolar Jerk: What is your decision? It was Jasper. She ignored his text. Her phone pinged again indicating another message. Bipolar Jerk: Ignoring my messages won't do any good. Reply now! Wow! Still in bossy mood. She ignored again. She was back to looking at photos, but she startled when her phone rang. She contemplated the idea to pick it, but then she dropped this urge and ignored his call. He called three times again, but she didn’t answer it. Then it was calm. Kara exhaled thinking that Jasper would stop bugging her. Forty five minutes later, she heard her door bell. Furrowing her brows she checked the time and it was almost half past one in the morning. Who could be at this time? She thought. Bell rang again, the person let it rang for few seconds longer. Everyone was asleep, and she didn’t want their sleep to be disturbed. She got up from the bed, and went to door. While walking to the door, her brain started overthinking. She played thousand bad scenarios in her mind. And in all the versions, she pictured her death. She stepped closer to the door and checked the security monitor on the wall. Relief washed over her when she saw Jasper standing on the other side. Jasper! She was in shock. It was very unusual. He was here, in her home. Well, not in. He was still behind the closed door. She came out of her trance when she saw he became impatient and went to ring the bell again. She hurried to the door and opened it with force before he could press the button again. His hand halted mid air when door opened, and there stood his soon to be bride in pajamas, little flushed and bare of all make up. He looked at her, taking in her appearance, and this made Kara both uncomfortable and excited. He settled his narrowed eyes on her, remembering the fact that she bluntly ignored his messages and calls. He was still in his dress shirt, but his hair were ruffled as if he raked his hands in them thousand times. He looked like as if he just came back from the office, all tired but still managed to look handsome with sharp features. Kara scowled and mentally cursed herself for feeling anything like this. “Do you have a watch?” she asked. He didn’t reply, just stood still watching her. His behavior was making her nervous. “It seems to me that you don’t have a watch since you are standing in my doorway at this time. Unlike you, others value their time and need rest. So you don’t go and disturb them when they are asleep.” She was pissed. “Were you asleep?” finally he spoke, mocking her a bit. He knew she was wide awake. “Reason for your presence?” “Your answer.” “Answer? Regarding what?” she pretended to be confused. He smirked at her act. “Where is your phone?” he asked narrowing his eyes on her. “None of your business.” She was being real tough. Even she was surprised that she was talking in this way, and that too with Jasper f*****g Black. Perhaps! Pregnancy hormones do really make women bold. She thought. “Do you really want to play this game? Because I can do it all day,” he winked at her, and her cheeks flushed pink. She stilled, knowing very well that it was dangerous to poke him further. “Hurry up! I don’t have much time to waste.” He snapped at her, and she flinched in reflex. Jasper kept his poker face on her reaction; he was beyond pissed because this girl had the audacity to ignore his messages and calls which nobody did. He grabbed her wrist and jerked her closer before shoving his phone in her hand. “Check these photos now, and give me your answer.” He told her in no-nonsense tone. Kara was fuming inside because of his behavior as he was hell bent on making her choose her ring. She didn’t want this. She didn’t want anything that happened and was happening her life. She gripped his phone tightly as if she wanted to break it; however she didn’t have that kind of strength. Reluctantly, she gave once over to all the photos. Her gaze lingered few seconds longer on the ring which she liked. Then she swiped quickly and showed him the next picture. He took his phone back and shoved in his pocket. Narrowing his eyes, he stepped closer, and she took a step back. He kept on walking towards her and she was walking backwards, keeping a good gap between them. They took few steps and then he reached forward and grabbed her waist and pulled her closer. Her body collided with his, arms went to his shoulders. Her eyes bulged; with clear panic and excitement in them. His big hands on her waist gave her comfort which she didn’t expect. He leaned down, and inhaled her scent. Then he ran his nose on her neck. Her body shivered in response, and closing her eyes, she circled her arms around his neck. A gasp escaped her mouth when his stubble scratched her soft skin. Involuntarily, she arched her neck, giving him more space. She moaned when he placed a small kiss just below her ear. “Which ring did you like?” he asked in husky tone. She kept silent as she was still in her senses a little bit if not completely. When he got no answer, he started roaming his hands on her back ever so slowly as if he was trying to imprint her body in his mind. She trembled in his hold. “Answer me, Kara. Or I won’t stop until I get an answer out of you.” He said in seductive tone, hinting a little that he wouldn’t mind taking things one step further. He started placing feather light kisses on her neck. She gulped and moaned at his assault. “Jasper, please.” “Please what, Kara?” “Pl…Please.” She couldn’t comprehend a sane sentence. “Which ring?” he persisted. “Pri…Princess cut with…sapphires.” She blurted with a moan as his breath on her neck caused tingling sensation. He stepped back instantly when she gave her answer. She swayed a little since her both body and mind were in haze. She looked up at him in complete confusion. When that lusty fog disappeared from her mind, she came to her senses. Her cheeks flamed red with embarrassment when she registered the fact that this man seduced an answer out of her. She turned red a shade deeper when she remembered the she responded to his advances instead of pushing him away. You are such a slut! A voice echoed in her brain; and tears brimmed in her eyes. She hated herself in that moment. She gulped nervously. Her hand went to her neck where he kissed couple minutes ago, on its own accord. Her eyes never left his. There was no emotion in his eyes. They were cold and distant. She stepped back, and tears started running down her eyes. Jasper’s jaw ticked when he saw her tears. It took everything in him to stay put. “Get out!” she spat with so much venom. She didn’t want to look at his face. He kissed her; he played with her body. He manipulated an answer out of her. That too in her own house! She was angrier at herself than him. He turned around and left her without uttering any word. She ran back to her room crying. She curved herself in a ball; trying to be invisible. She clutched comforter in her hand and buried her face in it. This whole scene was way beyond scarier than her dream! With these kinds of thoughts she drifted back to sleep when fatigue took over her body.
