The Girl He Marked

Chapter 10

Myra‘s POV.

Even if I were not dressed as I am, I would be surprised to see Jayce here, he‘s practically the size of

the front door anyway and he looms over me.

We both stare at each other in shock, horror takes over as I watch his eyes go up and down, taking in

my sultry outfit. My cheeks burn with embarrassment and I realize I‘m never going to be able to see

him again after this, I‘ll just die.

My heart begins beating rapidly as I see his eyes darken considerably, with desire? Hell no, it can‘t be.

‘Um, hi, Jayce.‘ I look him up and down, relishing in the beautiful sight of his tattoos wrapping around

his arms.

There really is no other guy quite like him.

‘I brought you your keys, you left them at work.

His voice and face are completely neutral, devoid of emotion. He‘s very good at putting a mask on.

‘Oh, wow, thank you. That‘s very sweet of you,‘ I reply, taking my keys from him.

I almost want to laugh at the sight of this huge, muscular man holding some keys with a large, bright

pink, fluffy pom pom key ring on them.

‘No problem. He looks me up and down one last time before turning on his heel and walking back to his

car.

‘Thank you!‘ I call out again and shut the door.

When I turn around, Jasper is stood with his arms crossed, smirking at me in the hall.

“What?” I ask innocently and put my keys in my clutch.

‘He‘s delicious, Jasper comments and I sigh despondently.

‘He‘s uninterested, I reply and walk past him into the kitchen to pour myself a drink, Jasper follows me.

‘What do you mean uninterested? In you? I don‘t think so!‘ Aria comments as they sit down at the is

land.

“He‘s uninterested in everyone I think, I‘ve never met a man so brooding and mysterious, you‘re lucky

to. get more than one word answers out of him, Texplain and Aria nods sympathetically whilst Jasper‘s

eyes light up.

I love them when they‘re complicated, he declares dreamily, resting his chin on his hand.

‘Well, he brings a whole new meaning to the word complicated. He‘s rude at times, nice at others, can‘t

tell whether he has a girlfriend so he‘s just uninterested in even talking to anyone else, or whether he‘s

that cold and closed off with everyone!

I pour us all vodka lemonades and push the glasses towards everyone.

I bet it‘s with everyone, it‘s your job to make him open up. Aria suggests and a glint of sin gleams in Jasper‘s eyes.

‘Oh, I‘d love to see him open up, he comments suggestively and I roll my eyes at him.

Jasper is something else.

‘Morning guys! I push open my bedroom door to see Aria and Jasper sprawled across my bed.

I set down the two mugs of tea on either side of the bed for them,

‘You lifesaver, Aria mutters and eagerly takes a sip.

Jasper groans and sits up in bed, I burst out laughing at the sight of his beautiful caramel locks stick ing

up in all directions on his head. We head down to the kitchen for breakfast.

‘Last night was amazing, I‘m so glad you came up,‘ I tell Jasper as I crack open the eggs into the siz

zling pan.

“Yeah, I loved it,’ Aria replies and stretches her arms out.

‘It was so good; did you see that guy I got with? What a fitty, Jasper grins and turns on the radio, wince

at the sudden loud music.

Luckily, Nathan‘s room isn‘t above the kitchen and that boy sleeps through almost everything..

‘Let‘s eat outside this morning, it‘s so sunny today‘ I say as I unlock the glass doors onto the patio.

Topen them both and put out cushions on the chairs around the wooden table. Nathan is so lucky to

have this house. The garden is small, less than ten meters long, but it‘s because that‘s where the tree

line for the forest starts. The trees are so tall, when the sun rises it‘s behind the trees and it takes until

about nine–ten o‘clock for the sunlight to reach our house.

Jasper turns the music up on the radio and helps me set the table with cutlery and drinks whilst Aria –

finishes cooking the food. A familiar song comes on and Jasper grins at me.

‘Yes! It‘s my song.

He dances over to me and I can‘t help but laugh as he pulls me into his arms against his slim figure.

‘Come on, dance with me, he coaxes and I roll my eyes but do as he asks.

We sing along to the song together, dancing badly in our pajamas.

Jesus guys, we haven‘t even eaten yet. Aria laughs and places the plates full of food on the table.

Jayce‘s POV.

‘Can you put this on Myra‘s desk for tomorrow, after that you can go enjoy your weekend. Damien This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

holds up a green folder, I take it and nod.

‘Thanks, Damien, 1 reply and leave the room.

I place the folder on Myra‘s desk and go to leave. I pause as my eyes land on a fluffy pink thing lying

on the floor next to the desk. I pick it up and frown as I see the ring of keys attached to it, I don‘t think

she meant to leave these.

It‘s eight o‘clock, chances are she won‘t need them this late, or she would have come back to work for

them. But if I take them to her, I‘ll get to see her...

I look down at the keys for a moment and fight an inner battle of what to do. I give in and head outside

towards my car, I want to see her.
