BXBX NOVEL Chapter 222 - Yes, That Is My Woman
"I now understand why she is so good," Alfred said before he paid his attention fully to the ladies still swimming.
"JK, I never knew that Jasmine could swim so well, just like a fish. I can still recall the last time she jumped into the pool and pretended not...,"
"Ssh... You are distracting me. I don\'t want to take my eyes off her for a second," Jackson abruptly interrupted him. Even though Jasmine was leading in the game, he still felt nervous.
"Jasmine, Jasmine, Jasmine....," everyone cheered Jasmine. Even Steve completely forgot Jasmine was competing against his woman. He cheered for Jasmine instead.
"Yes, that is my woman," Jackson blurted out with smiles on his face the moment Jasmine touched the edge of the pool first. Thank goodness except for Jeff and Steve none of the people they knew was there to hear his declaration.
Before Jackson could reach there, Kai had already pulled Jasmine out of the pool.
"Hey Miss Naughty, You did exceptionally well in there," Jackson complimented the lady drying her hair.
"I have a competitive spirit so I am not surprised I won. And also I guess my desire to win rose to the peak when someone challenged me for the winner position," Jasmine said as she threw Jane a fierce glare. The way she stares at Jane made it obvious that the lady must have provoked Jasmine before the game but he chooses not to ruin his mood by getting upset. This was his woman\'s moment so he is not allowed to let anything ruin his mood.
"I am proud of you Miss Naughty. You left everyone breathless with that amazing performance. You deserve a reward from me," Jackson said as he patted her now dried hair. He did not give a damn that people were staring at them and some were even taking pictures.
"Why are you calling me Miss Naughty?" Jasmine on realising how Jackson was addressing her questioned him.
"Because you are very naughty that is why I decided to call you Miss Naughty...,"
"But that is not a very good name. I don\'t like it," Jasmine said firmly.
"Ok, let\'s make a deal...,"
"And what is the deal?" Jasmine interrupted him sharply. She momentarily forgot that it wasn\'t just she and Jackson in his mansion and that they were in a public.
"As long as you stop addressing me as Ice Prince wherever we go, I won\'t call you Miss Naughty. Is that a deal?" Jackson asked staring at her displeased expression.
"That is not fair, Ice Prince. I began addressing you as Ice Prince since the first day we met. I am used to calling you that and sometimes I even forget what your real name and identity is so how do you expect me to stop calling you that?" Jasmine asked not agreeing to his condition.
"I guess it is not a deal then Miss Naughty," Jackson said smirking devilishly before he left her and went to the pool.
"He was formerly ok with my title for him so why is he threatening me now?" Jasmine thought aloud as she stare at his back.
With Jackson on the same round with Jeff and Steve, the two naughty guys did not even dream about winning. Even though they had wanted to win, they knew that it wasn\'t possible since Jackson has always been the one who won each time they had a swimming contest among themselves.
"Jasmine, which out of the three guys swimming do you want to spend the rest of the day with? Who do you want to win the game?" Evelyn tried to use trickery to know Jasmine\'s thoughts.
She can feel that Jasmine likes Jackson too but she just did not want to jump to a conclusion first. Her guess could be wrong that is why she hasn\'t told any of the guys about her suspicions. Evelyn knows that Jackson will be the most hurt if her suspicions are proved to be wrong.
"Definitely not your boyfriend or Cat\'s man. They are both too shameless for me to handle and I am sure Cat will pull out all my hair if I dare spend a minute alone with her man not to mention spending hours with him," Jasmine said jokingly as she stares at the three guys.
"Then that means it is Jack you want to be the winner, I am sure he will not disappoint you," Evelyn said as she winked naughtily at Jasmine.
"That is not what I meant...,"
"But that is what your words say. I know you love spending time with Jack, I am not criticising you for that so there is no need for you to deny how you feel," Evelyn says seriously.
"And I think Jack seems to feel the same way about you so there is no need to feel shy about it," Evelyn said as she smiled at Jasmine.
"I am fun to be with so I will not feel surprised if he feels the same way for me," Jasmine said with so much pride.
Jasmine for some reason did not feel as nervous that she thought she would. Maybe she felt this way because she knew that he would win.
"Congrats on winning, Jack. I guess Jasmine and you are gonna leave for your romantic date in a few minutes," Steve said after they came out of the pool.
Before Jackson could reply to him, Jasmine who was standing some distance away walked up to him and touched him.
"Well done there Ice Prince. You did not perform badly also," Jasmine said as she tapped him by the shoulders.
"I guess I was inspired by your brilliant performance," Jackson smiled sweetly at her to the jealousy of Jane who never wants to see Jackson look so happy when he is with her rival.
"Your jokes are kinda cheesy," Jasmine said removing her hand from his shoulder.
"So the couples going for the compulsory date is determined then," Jeff announced to the annoyance of people like Jane and Kai.
