Chapter 268 - The First Dance

But then Jacob felt a tug from her hand. He looked at J with furrowed brows.

"It's okay." J said in a calm tone.

"Are you sure?" Jacob was hesitant.

J nodded her head then she smiled sweetly at him.

Everyone in the hall was watching the couple and they saw the way J smiled at Jacob. Everyone knew how cold and distant Nurse J is. She is someone that they rarely see to smile. If she did, it was always a faint smile, or forced smile. This is the first time that they see her smile so sweetly. And that was intended only for Jacob. They didn't know that behind that aloof and intimidating woman was a soft and tender wife.

"Okay then." Then Jacob led her in the center of the dance floor.

The live band played a country song that is very familiar to J but they made their own arrangement on it. It is one of her favorite classic country songs by Shania Twain, titled From This Moment. J felt like it was their wedding dance.

Jacob placed his right arm in J's lower back while J put her left arm around Jacob's shoulders. Their two other hands were clasped together near their chest. Jacob pulled her closer making them almost an inch apart. Then they slowly sway to the music.

"This is quite embarrassing." J mumbled while hiding her face into Jacob's chest.

Jacob chuckled. "If you don't want to..."

J shot him a look and said. "I'm not backing out."

Jacob gave her an affectionate look. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"I did. I sent you a text message. But you were busy with your girlfriend number one flirting with you that's why you probably didn't noticed." J scowled at him.

"You said it yourself. She is the one flirting, not me. And for the last time, there is no such thing as girlfriend number one and so on and so forth. Thou I do have a wife, and she is stunningly dancing with me right now." Jacob said with an alluring smile.

"Mr. Parker what are you playing up to? Are you flirting with me?" J tried to conceal a smile but her eyes betrayed her.

"Mrs. Parker, flirting and flattering are two different words. You should have your vocabulary checked." Jacob retorted back. Then Jacob pulled her closer making them seemed like embracing.

"But you are obviously doing both." J said.

"What's wrong with me flirting and flattering my wife? After all, I would only do those things to you." Jacob gave her a smile that could melt her heart.

"You are such a sweet talker." J narrowed her eyes but her heart is jumping in delight.

"Only to you, my dear." Then Jacob closed the small distance between them so now they were technically embracing each other while dancing. J seemed to have forgotten the hundred pairs of eyes that are watching them as she leaned her head into Jacob's chest. That moment, everyone in the hall seemed to have banished and the two of them were transported into a magical place with no one but them.

Everyone watched the couples bickering and display of affection as if they were the only one in the hall. There were hint of surprise, disbelieve and astonishment in their faces. Most of them seemed to have noticed that, although the couple had no plans of revealing their relationship that night, they both came in a matching outfit. The two of them looked good together. They were a perfect match, a match made in heaven.

Then they realized that there is only one person that could contain Dr. Jacob and that is Nurse J. While there is only one person that could soften Nurse J and that is Dr. Jacob.
