Chapter 14

“This corridor is Caroline’s inspiration.” Jasper whispered as he cuddled sleeping Caroline. “It sure looks as pretty as she is.” He smiled. Then, I turned to Caroline. She lay in Jasper’s strong arms. Her face was soft and pale, her long black eyelashes fluttered and her red glossy lips twitched. She looked so beautiful, no one else could compare. Not Marilyn, not Anabel, not me either. I had been so immersed in my thoughts that I didn’t realize that Jasper was talking to me. “Alana? Alana? Alana?” His voice grew more impatient by the second. “Huh? Jasper? Oh, you’re calling me. Sorry.” I hung my head low. “Open the door for me won’t you.” He didn’t sound frustrated at all. I shoved the door opened. It didn’t make any sound for the hinge was so smooth. Jasper took a step forward while I admired Caroline’s masterpiece. The walls were draped with pale blue wallpaper and it gave the white wash doors a shine. The red carpet wound down the corridor while the antique wall lamps shone dimly. It really seemed like heaven. I could imagine Caroline and Jasper prancing about, giggling away, while Anabel and I sat on a cloud, looking at Earth. “Close the door, won’t you, Alana?” Jasper interrupted my sweet thoughts. “Fine.” I sounded irritated as I tried not to slam the door.

“What’s into you?” Jasper asked as he placed Caroline onto the couch. “Nothing, really.” I placed the shoes near the dressing table and took a seat. “Sweet dreams.” Jasper kissed Caroline’s chest. Then he turned to me when I was staring the deep blue walls. Marilyn must really like blue, I thought. “Go change into this.” Jasper instructed as he handed me an exquisite-looking paper bag. I snatched the bag from his hands and fished the dress out. “Wow.” I mumbled in amazement. I jumped up from the chair and draped the dress over the shoulders. The pink velvet felt so nice on my skin. “Go try it on. It’ll look good on you.” Jasper smiled sweetly. I half-ran, half-walked towards the bathroom. The walls were decorated with mosaics of different shades of blue. I marveled at the way it was arranged. The bathtub was cool to the touch and it was embossed with the name, Marilyn. I giggled as I ran my fingers over it. “Argh. Quickly get changed. I’ll have to stay from these pretty interior designing.” I commanded myself. Quickly, I changed out of my skimpy outfit and slipped into the gorgeous gown. I threw back my shoulders and stared at my reflection. The velvet commented my soft curves and revealed a little of my toned thighs. The turtleneck made my neck look skinner and it showed off my arms with the sleeveless parts. I placed my hand on my hop and wriggled a little to the right, a little to the left. Then, I traced the white vintage lace along on the hemming. I tried to make out the pattern. “Alana? Are you done?” Jasper called out.

“You look simply stunning.” Jasper complemented. I blushed. Jasper must have sensed it cause he burst out laughing. “Alana, you’re really very pretty today.” His face suddenly turned serious. “Thanks.” I tried to sound casual. “Alana?” he asked as he got up and took a step towards me. “Yes, Jasper?” My voice turned into a mumble. He remained silent, circling me till my back was facing the bed. “Jasper?” “Alana, you’re very attractive.” He took a step forward and I backed a step. “No Jasper.” “Yes Alana. You’ve really got me mesmerized.” “I’ll never betray Caroline.” I declared. I would never betray my friends for love. And in this case, a playboy. “There’s nothing between us.” Each step he advanced, I would step back. “No.” I protested. “I’m Jasper Mckessie, my dear.” I blushed at the last word. “Jasper?” “Yes, Alana?” He smiled so sweetly that I was momentarily dazzled. “Did anyone mention that you’re very attractive too?” We giggled. “You’re the most beautiful.” I was already sitting on the springy bed yet he inched closer. “Glib tongue.” “Oh no, my dear.” He pushed me onto the bed. He lay next to me. I turned to my right and soft glare met my curious eyes. “Alana.” He whispered softly. Then, he held me close and wrapped his arms around his waist. “Jasper.” I said the same voice. I rested my hands on his muscular arms. “Wait.” I suddenly jerked, releasing my grip. “What Alana?” “Are you sure you’re not flirting?” My eyes refused to meet his. He shoved my face towards his. “No. Never. I take you seriously.” “Don’t’ lie to me or else I’ll smack you.” I sounded gruff. “Never, my dear.” He reassured me. Then, he pushed me back onto the bed.
