Chapter 2

-=Gabby's Point of View=-

I tried my best to mutter a seductive smile when I noticed he was looking in my direction while the waiter explained to him that I bought the liquor for him.

I felt a little queasy, particularly in my stomach, when our eyes finally met. The way he looked at me was as if he was trying to discern everything about me, and I was worried that he would probably see through my plan, but I felt relieved when I noticed him smiling, and at the same time, I was shocked to see his seductive smile.

It was fortunate that the distance between us is wide, or else he might have noticed me being dumbfounded.

That kind of smile should be banned for causing so much ruckus inside me, particularly in the pit of my stomach. It was as if there were butterflies in my stomach.

I tried to stop the urge to run away when I noticed him standing up and walking in my direction.

His eyes never left me as he made his way to my table, and I tried so hard to compose myself, in fear that he realized that I was already freaking out.

I need to maintain the facade that I am a confident, sophisticated rich girl who happened to be interested in flirting with him.

I secretly took a deep breath before he finally reached my table, and the good thing was that it helped me to calm down.

"Hi, gorgeous," he said in his husky voice, while a sexy grin was on his lips.

"You're not too bad yourself," I teased, and I invited him to join me.

I tried to conceal my surprise when he suddenly sat on the chair next to me.

I wasn't expecting him to sit so close to me, and I could already smell the sexy combination of his cologne and manly musk.

"By the way, thank you for this," he said while raising the glass of liquor I ordered for him, which the waiter I bribed served.

"You're welcome, and I hope you found it to your liking," I answered seductively while batting my eyelashes at him.

"Anything from you, love, it will be," he said with his baritone voice, taking a sip from his glass.

"You're spoiling me," I said, while gently hitting his masculine arm, and goodness, his biceps are ripped.

"You're worth spoiling, babe. By the way, I'm..." he tried to introduce himself, but I decided to beat him to it.

"I already know who you are," I interrupted, and when I noticed his brows furrowed, I decided to continue speaking.

"You're Jayden Andrada. I mean, who wouldn't know the most handsome businessman in the country?" I said, noticing his face lit up and the crease on his forehead disappeared.

"You're making me blush," he answered while chuckling.

I highly doubt that he is capable of blushing, especially since I was pretty sure that he's used to hearing compliments.

I introduced myself as Andrea, which, of course, is a bogus name, I can't let him know who I really am, or it would jeopardize my plan.

This guy is really charming. No wonder my sister and the other women could easily be manipulated by someone like him. Almost all women might fall for his charisma, but not me.

He chose to share a table with me as he began his magic flirting with me, and just as I had planned, I pretended to be interested and so into him, even though deep within me I wanted to slap him for what he did.

As time goes by, the time is getting late, and as I conversed with this man, I learned a great deal about him.

He really has a great sense of humor, and I really enjoyed talking to him. If I didn't know him for who he truly was, then I might actually like him.

I couldn't deny the effect that his presence was having on me. With just a simple touch, I could feel my hormones reacting, and I needed to remind myself that he was just a good-looking jerk, who tends to break any woman's heart if given a chance.

I was surprised when I looked into his eyes, and I could already see the ember of desire in his eyes, making me aware that I was not the only one being affected by the touch.

A few more minutes had passed when he suddenly brought his face closer to mine.

I was expecting him to kiss me, and honestly, I don't know how to react to that, but before I knew it, I found his lips close to my left ear, and I tried to ignore the feeling of loss when he didn't kiss me.

"Don't you feel that this place is getting too crowded?" He asked in a hoarse voice, making it clear that he was already feeling lustful.

"My thoughts exactly! Do you have any place in mind?" I asked.

I seductively moved my lips near his right ear, and to make him more aroused, I gently bit his ear, earning me a gentle moan from him.

"In heaven," he answered, with so much desire.

I was already expecting it, but it doesn't prepare me for the intensity I would feel hearing him say that.

I felt a shiver go down my spine when I saw his intention in his eyes, but to be honest, not in a scary way.

He immediately called for the waiter, and when he was about to pay our bill, I beat him to it and paid the tab myself.

"This is my treat," I answered, maintaining the seductive smile on my red lips.

"You actually have my two firsts," he said, chuckling, while I paid for our bill.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

At first, I thought that he was probably talking about having sex, because I'm well aware that he's no virgin.

"It was a first for me to receive a drink from a lovely lady like yourself, and the second would be to allow a lady to pay for my tab. You're not just like any other girl I met," he said with so much interest.

A satisfied grin appeared on my lips. when I heard his compliment.

"Of course! Because I have to be different from your average woman," I thought to myself.

I acted nonchalantly while paying our bills, but deep down, it hurt me to use my credit card. I seldom use it, but because I wanted to get even, I was forced to swipe my card.

After paying our bills, Jayden and I decided to leave, Jayden didn't hesitate to pull me closer to him, which is why I could feel his hard body, probably from working out in the gym religiously.

Even without looking at my surroundings, I could feel the gazes of the people inside the bar, and just because I was with Jayden Andrada.

On the way out of the bar, he continued to give me gentle kisses on my neck, which was making it hard for me to concentrate on walking and on my plan.

"Should we use my car?" I asked.

"Nah... let's just use my car," he answered, which was good since I was just lying.

I don't have a car, and I came here by riding a taxi.

I pretended to dial a number, which was supposed to be my driver. I instructed him to pick up my car.

I knew that for Jayden to be interested in me, just looking good wasn't enough; I also needed to act like I was one of them, meaning that I also came from a wealthy family.

I'm not a socialite or an heiress to a huge company, I'm just a mere bank teller, working for an above-minimum salary.

We continued walking while his hand was still on my waist until we reached his car.

"So, where are we..." But before I could finish what I was about to say, I was immediately cut off when he suddenly captured my lips, kissing me with so much desire, and, oh man... he really is an excellent kisser.

I was already feeling delirious because of how amazing his kisses were, and if I didn't remind myself, I would probably forget everything and allow this man to take advantage of me.

It was a good thing that my reason and self-control were still intact, so I managed to free myself from him.

"Woah! Hold your horses' loverboy, we have a lot of time for that," I said with an unsteady voice, which gladly went unnoticed.

I need to keep reminding myself what kind of man Jayden Andrada is, and what he did to my sister.

"What can I do? You are so irresistible that I couldn't stop myself. If truth be told, I want to take you here right now," he said with a mischievous smile on his face, and I could tell that he was seriously considering it, making me both scared and excited at the same time.

"You're such a joker. You know we can't do that. There are many people who could see us," I said.

He said, "That can be worked out," and before he could really think about it, I decided to go ahead with my plan.

"I'm a bit thirsty. Do you have water?" I asked, faking thirst.

"Sorry, I don't have any," he answered, clearly confused by my sudden change of topic.

"Just wait here; I will just buy water," I immediately said, and without waiting for his response, I immediately left him.

"Don't leave!" I heard him say, but it only fell on deaf ears as I made my way to the bar. Instead of going inside, I just walked to the side of the bar, and retrieved the bottle of water I had prepared earlier.

I immediately returned and handed Jayden one of the bottles of water I was holding.

"Sorry about that. Drink this first so it will calm your libido," I said playfully.

"That would never happen, Andrea, especially since you're with me," he said, while leaving gentle traces on my exposed leg.

I nervously glanced his way as he started to remove the cap from the bottle, and it felt like ages before he finally drank the water inside.

He finished drinking the whole bottle, and then he handed me the empty bottle, looking at me with the same desire on his face.

"Shall we go?" He asked.

Sure, loverboy, bring me to heaven," I playfully answered.
