YM778.TV Chapter 87 - Do You Love Me?
"I would have loved to buy all the ones you choose but I can\'t afford them. I have borrowed a huge sum of money from Cat. I will completely wreck her if I asked her to borrow me more," Jasmine said unhappily as she turned to leave.
"Everything you pick today is on me so you don\'t have to worry," Jackson said before she could walk away. Jasmine turned and stare at him when she heard his words.
"You want to pay for my bills? Why?" Jasmine questioned meekly.
"Because this is what I have been longing to do but you are just as rich as me and I couldn\'t get the chance to do that but now that you have pretended to be poor I want to use this chance to shop for you," these were the words Jackson wanted to desperately tell her but he couldn\'t.
"Nothing," Jackson replied firmly.
"Are you trying to tell me that you randomly shop for ladies you meet in a boutique each time you shop? You don\'t look or sound like one who would go through such hassle for anyone so be honest with me because I won\'t accept your generosity if you don\'t tell me the reason," Jasmine said sternly and the expression on her face shows that she meant every word she says.
"Are you perhaps finding it hard to tell me the reason because you want my body in exchange for the favour?" Jasmine let her imagination run wild.
"Although you sound and looks untamed I wouldn\'t dare ask you for your body just because of a few million dollars...,"
"You sure recognise a rare gem. You have won my admiration for saying that," Jasmine said sounding like she was proud of him. She stretched her hand to pat his hair but Jackson held her hand before it could touch his hair.
"I am not your son or your lover so don\'t touch my hair," Jackson said in a serious tone. Jasmine frowned when she heard his words.
"Are you trying to say that it is only your mum or lover who can touch your hair?" Jasmine asked curiously.
"Even my mum can\'t pat my hair at this age so it is only my lover who has the right to do that," Jackson said carefreely as he signals the sales representative to package the skirts he had chosen. He walked towards another section and Jasmine followed him.
"You are saying that I need to become your lover if I want to pat your hair? Doesn\'t that sound absurd to you?" Jasmine asked as she heeled him.
"That is my principle and there is nothing absurd about it...,"
"What qualifications does a lady need to have to be your lover?" Jasmine asked seriously.
"Don\'t tell me you are still interested in the white lotus kind of ladies even after spending quality time with me. The last thing I will ever do is act demure and docile so I think you should change your standards," Jasmine said without even thinking.
"Are you saying that you want to be my lover?" Jackson asked. His heart suddenly began beating rapidly as he waited for her answers.
"Although you are cold, you don\'t seem like a bad guy. You are also handsome and have awesome abs which are the qualities I look for in a guy. You are cold and I am super hot. Ice needs heat to get melted so don\'t you think that we are compatible?" Jasmine asked without an ounce of shame.
"Are you proposing to me right now?" Jackson asked his gaze focused on her glowing face.
"You are right so is it a yes from you?" Jasmine asked as she stares into his eyeballs.
"Do you love me? My lover must love me that is the most important criteria so tell me whether you love me and I will give some thoughts about your proposal," Jackson said seriously.
"Love? That is one thing I can never offer to a man so why did it have to be his most important criteria?" Jasmine thought aloud. She did not know that she said those words aloud.
Why is she afraid of loving a man? Did something perhaps happen to her in the past that is why she doesn\'t feel any emotions to any man?
Jackson thought as he stares at her face.
"Why are you so deep in thoughts? Didn\'t you say you love me so why is it hard for you to give me a response?" Jackson asked as he waved at her face.
"Do you love me? I want to know your response since you have been treating me coldly. I don\'t want to get into any relationship with a man who hates me so first give me a response and I will give you mine," Jasmine said seriously. Jackson did not know that she was only trying to trick him into revealing his feelings to her so she can exploit him to the fullest.
"I ....,"
"Jasmine, what are you doing just standing over there? Didn\'t you say you need designer handbags to boost your bags collection? They have it so why don\'t you check it out," Catherine shouted to the disappointment of the two guys standing beside her. They regretted ever calling her attention to the two people who seem to be discussing something serious.
"Let\'s go so you can choose the bags for yourself," Jackson said as he walked away. Deep down he cursed Catherine for messing up things for him at such an important moment.
Goddamn it! Why did Cat have to talk at that moment? Is she my best friend or my enemy? She keeps ruining my chances.
Jasmine cursed within before she follows Jackson. After she finished shopping Jasmine followed Jackson as he went about shopping for his stuff. He practically made sure everything he bought was selected by her.
After they finished talking it was 5:00 pm. Seeing that the ladies were slightly tired Jackson suggested that they take a break before they continue in the next item on their list and Jeff and Steve who knew that Jackson wouldn\'t take no for an answer readily agreed. They grab a cup of coffee at a cafe before they resumed with their plans.
