Chapter 70 - I can control myself

"I-I can't f-find something to w-wear." J stuttered as she tried to explain the nightgown to Jacob.

"W-what?" Jacob was confused. He stared at J and was mesmerized by her embarrassed look. She looks cuter, he thought. Finally, he realized what she meant and gave her a comforting smile.

"Let's see." then he walked inside the closet. J followed him. Jacob scanned all the clothes that Madam Kelly bought for J. He shakes his head in dismay. His mother didn't buy pajamas for J instead she bought her sexy nightgowns. What J's wearing is the most decent of them. It is clear what his mother's intention is. He checked out other clothes to see if she can wear anything comfortable to sleep but found nothing.

Finally, he resorted to see if he got any oversized shirt that J could wear. Until he found one, but when he hanged it in front of J to see if it would fit her, an image of her wearing his shirt flashed in his mind and he thought she would look more enticing.

Jacob takes a deep breath and shakes his head then said, "This won't do." then returned the shirt to his closet.

He walks out of the closet followed by J then said, "Don't worry, I can control myself." but deep inside him 'Ah... it's going to be a sleepless night.'

"W-what do you mean?" J asked but Jacob lies down in bed with his back facing J.

J lie down beside Jacob and covered herself with a blanket. There was a moment of awkwardness until J breaks the silence, "What happened earlier?"

"What?" Jacob turns to her and asked.

"You walked out of dinner and your family. That was rude." J said sarcastically.

"Hmm..." Jacob replied then turned his back again on J.

After a moment he said, "I don't want to hear the name of that singer from you again."

J looked at Jacob's back and furrowed her brows then said, "Whose name?"

Jacob turned back to look at her and said, "The name of the singer with a tattoo and sexy voice."

J was dumbfounded then chuckled, "Are you stupid?"

"No, I'm jealous." Jacob instantly replied then turned his back again leaving J frozen.

What did she just hear? He was jealous? J's heart skipped a beat. Then an involuntary smile appeared on her lips.

The next morning J woke up in their usual position, her lying in Jacob's arms while Jacob cuddling her. J fell asleep fast last night, she didn't understand it but she felt comfortable in Jacob's bed.

She tried to pull herself out of Jacob's arms but Jacob tightened his hugs instead. J looked up at his face and said, "It's late."

Jacob replied with a sleepy voice and eyes still closed, "You won't be late until the afternoon."

Obviously, Jacob already knew her schedule.

"You will be late," said J.

"I'm the CEO so I can be late. Besides, I struggled all night to fall asleep." Jacob went silent again after that.

J didn't argue after she realized that Jacob needed more time to sleep. Instead, she pulled herself close to his body to feel his warm. She wanted more of it. After a couple of minutes hesitating, she stretched out one of her arms and wrapped it around Jacob's waist.

Jacob moaned and said, "Honey, I liked it." then pulled her closer.

J closed her eyes until she falls back asleep.
