Saving her…

Jackson

“Babyyyy!!!” Lisa exclaimed as she ran towards me and hugged me tightly.

“What are you doing here, Lisa?” I replied when she finally peeled herself from my chest.

“What do you mean what am I doing here? Didn’t we agree to go to the event together?” She replied, rolling her eyes at me while I tried to remember when and if I ever had such conversation with her.

“I don’t remember making such promise.” I replied and she scoffed.

“Now, you do. Let’s go, I’m all dressed up for you, it’s not like you’re going to notice though.” She chimed in, and that was when I took a second look at her.

She was wearing a short sleeveless dress which hugged all the curves in her body tightly. Her hair bounced over her shoulders, and her red lipstick made her makeup pop, making her even more beautiful. The only issue is, I wasn’t in the mood for the tantrums she always comes with.

I had gotten home an hour ago, hoping to have a good rest before checking up on Laura. But then, I remembered I had left some documents in the office so I decided to go get them. I was about getting in the car when Lisa hopped out of her ride and jumped on me.

“Sorry, Lisa, but I have to go to the office now, I left some…”

“Ohhh baby, thank you so much!” She exclaimed before I could even finish and then buried her face in mine.

“You’re driving, and I have a surprise for you too.” She let out and then stepped to her side of the car.

I opened and held out the door for her before circling to the other side too. I got in and zoomed off to God-knows-where.

“Thanks baby for coming with me. I love you so much.” Lisa retorted but I didn’t answer.

That’s the issue I have with her. She would do anything to get her way and when it doesn’t work, she throws a fit, which I always try to avoid, like now.

I didn’t know this about her when we met. I wasn’t looking for love or a relationship but I’ve got to give it to Lisa. She played her games so right that in just two months, we were already dating. She was the perfect, loving and caring girlfriend and I had tried to give her the best of me before I discovered, six months and five business deals later, that she had only been using me. She just wanted a handsome billionaire for her career and it worked for her. Many celebrities rushed to hire her just because of my name and face which was always next to hers in her i***a stories which always go viral…

“What are you doing?” I asked Lisa while she winked at me and then placed a finger over my lips before tracing it down to my pants, and then reached for my fly.

“Stop that right now, I’m driving!” I quickly cautioned her.

“What? Are you still mad at me? Let me make it up to you.” She chimed in and then reached inside my pants but I yanked her hands off.

“This is not the right time for this. Stop or I will turn back now!” I said fiercely.

Lisa stopped which was odd but she didn’t talk the rest of the drive. Laura called in some minutes later and I told her I had an emergency which might keep me out all night.

“Who is that?” Lisa quizzed with a glare.

“You don’t know her so don’t bother.” I simply replied and again, she didn’t press further, which was odd but I happened to like it that way.

We got to the party and as expected, we were welcomed nicely and ushered to the VVIP area.

Everything was going well and I was enjoying the party until Lisa started putting up a fit. She wouldn’t let me talk to any of the female celebrities who came to greet me. I didn’t like that but I understood she was only protecting her territory.

I got offended when she got mad at the usher who she claimed was interested in me and trying to flirt with me. I tried to calm her down to no avail. It was as if she was determined to embarrass me.

I couldn’t stand it anymore when she slapped the poor girl and emptied two glasses of wine on her, causing her boss to fire her on the spot.

“I’ve had enough of your nonsense, Lisa. I can’t take this anymore… I’m breaking up with you!” I yelled in her face after I had dragged her outside.

All her ramblings fell on my deaf ears, it’s been long since I’d wanted to do that. Leave her. I’ve been considering her feelings and career but then if she doesn’t seem to care about it, why should I?

“Get in!” I said to her when her ride pulled up. I had ordered her one while she was busy pouring insults and threats on me.

“You brought me here and if you think I’m going home in a public ride, then you’re a joker!” She yelled but I didn’t care.

“Whatever you wish, clown!” I let out as I hopped in my car, and zoomed off.

She ran after my car screaming my name, but I didn’t stop. I’ve had enough of her craziness.

Freeway traffic had already picked up. Fighting exhaustion, I turned on the air-conditioning. Cold air blasted me from all sides, keeping me wide-awake as I drove up into the estate, feeling drained and vaguely depressed.

I should be working on my presentation for the meeting tomorrow but Lisa had ruined my mood completely and I was now feeling like an old man in need of a recliner.

I pulled into the garage, shut off the engine and sat for a few seconds as the door whirred closed behind me.

“I need a cold swim to get off this stress and anger.” I thought to myself as I got out of the car and made my way to the poolside.

I took off my shirt and pant and dived straight into the water. I enjoyed myself for about fifteen minutes before I got out.

I found a cool corner and made myself comfortable as I drifted back into my thoughts. Laura crept back into my mind but I shrugged off the thought.

I don’t need another girl drama in my life, not after dealing with my ex-wife, Eva, and now Lisa. Laura is much younger and that only means bigger drama.

I was still on that thought when I saw a nice figure appear from afar. It was Laura!

My hand tightened down on my phone as I stared at her beautiful figure. For someone her age, she has a very captivating body which left me drooling mindlessly…

From the moment I walked into that bar four years ago and set my eyes on her, something awoke in me. I felt so attracted to her. It was more than mere attraction. It was a deep yearning. I’ve only felt that way once, and it was a long time ago.

She seemed really young and I was also with a lady, so we could only share a few glances before she left.

I never thought I would see her again until she showed up in my house four years later, and this time again, she was still off my limits. She’s Arlene’s best friend, so I’m not allowed to want her!

Still, I couldn’t stop watching as she whisked off her robe, revealing her bathing suit which hugged every curve in her body. She packed her long shiny brown hair, up in a ponytail, and then dived straight into the water.

There were splashes everywhere and she swam through like a professional, navigating through the cold water and having a swell time.

I didn’t want to invade her privacy so I tried to distract myself with my phone, but after about ten minutes, she got out of the pool.

Her ponytail had fallen and her hair was now pressed to her head. She held the railing while she shook her head to get the excess water off, and my goodness! It was a sight to behold!

My whole body was swollen with goosebumps all over. I was filled with passion. I wanted her. The thoughts of how sweet she would taste flooded my head.

I knew she was off limits ever since Arlene introduced us the other day, and I’ve tried to stay away from her but the scene before me now made me want to compromise.

She strode out of the water, bent over and grabbed her robe. My mouth was opened the whole time while my mind ran wild with her thoughts.

I didn’t even realize how much engrossed I was until my phone started to ring, and I was forced back to reality.

I jumped up but quickly sat down when I saw how hard and erected my rod was.

“She can’t know how much I want her.” I thought to myself as I tried to quickly distract myself and get the throbbing erection off.

I was still at this when I heard a loud bang. I looked up and saw Laura, fighting to stay afloat in the pool.

That was all the distraction I needed!

I advanced towards the pool and jumped in without a second thought.

“Are you okay?” I asked while bending over her, trying to figure if she was back to normal.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I saw you needed your privacy and I was going to let you but my phone betrayed me. It rang.” I explained.

"I thought I was alone since you said you wouldn’t be coming home tonight. I saw you leave with a girl earlier." She finally replied and from the coldness in her voice, I could tell she was jealous and somehow, it made me happy.

"Are you jealous? Was that why you called? To know if she’s my girlfriend?" I asked why she shyly looked away and started to cough.

"No... I… I… I’m not jealous. I have no reason to. I only called to check up on you." She said, stuttering while I just stood there and smiled.

"I see the way you look at me, Laura. I know you want me…" I retorted, looking deeply in her eyes.

I caught her sneaking a quick glance at my shorts and seeing the bulging rod, she was taken aback and carelessly fell back into the water.

I chuckled as I reached for her and pulled her out of the water again.

“I’m sorry… I’m not usually this clumsy…” she chimed in and I chuckled again.

“It’s fine. I get that a lot from women. You should work more on yourself though. You’re nomore the teenager I saw at that bar four years ago, or are you?” I let out and then watched as the excited look on her face turned into embarrassment.

She rose up in a hurry and scurried off into the house.

I stood there and watched till I heard the door slam with a loud bang and then smiled.

She was cold when she ran off and I could tell she was upset. She probably thinks I don’t find her attractive and maybe that was the best way to save her from me. However, I never meant to make her feel that way. Taunting her was the best way to hide my growing feelings for her...
