Chapter 94

Jack hugged Kelly very tightly. "Congratulations!" he said.

​​

"Jack, I won! Can you believe that?" Kelly screamed excitedly.

"I know, didn't I tell you that you would," Jack tightened his hold.

"Come on, let's go and celebrate," he said as he ushered Kelly into his car.

Kelly called her parents and told them about her good news. Her parents were happy for her. They congratulated her.

They never expected Kelly to have a talent in taking pictures. Photography was just her hobby and nothing much, they thought. Hearing about her achievements made them feel proud.

Kelly was still holding the award, and smiling in the car.

Jack was mesmerized. He's never seen her this happy before. He didn't notice he was staring at her intensely.

Kelly turned towards Jack to tell him something but saw him staring at her with an intensity that made her blush. She felt shy for the first time in her life. Nobody has paid her this much attention before.

"Jack….," Kelly whispered as she stared at his face, his lips, remembering the way he kissed her before.

"Hmm?" Jack removed his seat belt and faced her. She took this opportunity to give him a peck on his lips.

"You….," he was stunned. She really surprised him, but he liked it.

Kelly felt embarrassed and shrunk into her seat. "Oh my gosh, what came over me, I become shameless and brave when I'm with him," she blushed as she sneaked a glance at him through her lowered eyes.

"Come here….," Jack chuckled, as he put his arm around her. She still felt shy, but he could not stop the electricity that was going through his body. The need to kiss her was intense.

He cupped her face and kissed her slowly at first, so as not to scare her or have her freeze up. He was losing control every second their lips were glued together. All he could think of was to devour her. He parted her lips with his tongue and delved deep into her mouth.

Kelly could not believe she was really kissing him. The last time she did this, she was intoxicated. It tasted better and sweeter this time around. All she can think of is how soft his mouth is against hers. She could feel the warmth emanating from his body. The need to kiss him back was so strong. As she opened her mouth to his probing tongue, she felt herself surrender. She didn't even feel her hands creeping up his back, pulling him closer to her.

The need to touch her was clouding his brain. His hands had a mind of their own. His hands were under her shirt, touching her back, relishing in the smoothness of her skin.

She started moaning from the assault on her senses. He had his hand under her shirt. She shivered from the sudden sensation of his cold hand, grazing her back.

Hearing her moan fueled his confidence, he started to undo her bra so he could have access to her jewels.

"S...Stop ….," Kelly whispered, hugging him tightly, she was panting.

Jack stopped and tried to remove his hand from her shirt. He got carried away, and he didn't want her to think that he was going to take advantage of her. She was in control of this relationship. If she wants to go slow, he will do it.

"I am sorry…,' he apologized, trying to unwrap himself from her arms, 'It got out of hand, I promise it won't come to this again in the future," Jack said apologetically.

He forgot that they were making out in the car in the middle of a very populated area. His thoughts were racing, 'She's probably mad and will ask me to take her home now. Why can't I keep my hands to myself? Ohhh... I just ruined this night."

"It's okay…," Kelly said, touching his arm to soothe him. She wanted to make out with him right now, but she felt shy doing it in a crowded place where people can just look into their car.

"We will never do it again if you don't want us to," Jack said, adjusting his tie nervously. He was getting anxious that she probably won't want to talk about it either.

"What? Never do it? Don't you find me attractive?" Kelly thought he was being funny.

"Of course, I find you attractive. You are very beautiful. It's just that… you told me to stop," Jack reasoned.

"I told you to stop because we are in the car… there are too many people walking about," Kelly explained.

"Oh… does that mean we can continue doing it at home?" Jack asked hopefully.

"Just drive …," Kelly pretended to be angry.

"Where... where do you want to go …," PA Jack asked nervously. He thought he shouldn't have asked her that question.

"Uhm… Your house," Kelly murmured.

Jack couldn't contain his happiness. He let out a loud laugh. Kelly had agreed to move to the next level in their relationship.

"Tonight will be memorable," Jack said, kissing her hand. Kelly blushed.

"Keep quiet or I'll get out of this car," Kelly threatened. Jack sat there quietly, telling himself to stop teasing her.

As soon as they reached the house, Jack wasted no time. As soon as they got in, he pressed Kelly against the door kissing her thoroughly. He was kissing her neck while he was taking his fill of touching her body and removing her clothing. At the same time, she was trying to undress him and get closer to him as possible.

He had seen her naked before, but this goddess in front of him was more beautiful than ever. They were both getting impatient, their hands and lips roaming over each other, licking, kissing, tugging, kneading. Lust was overcoming both of them, but Jack did not want their first time to be in the hall, so he carried her to his room. Laying her on the bed, he worshipped her body. Giving her the attention and the loving she deserved.

They made love the whole night and well into the morning. As Kelly started to close her eyes and doze off, Jack stared at her, memorizing this moment before he too succumbed to sleep.

The night was long,, and the lovers under the moonlight made sweet promises to each other. A divine feeling smoothened their souls.

On the other side of town, Tristan had planned a sweet surprise for Ava.

"Tristan, can you tell me what this is?" Ava was holding his hand and whining.

"Few more seconds, little one," Tristan said, taking her to his bedroom.

"Tristan….," Ava was eager and could not wait another minute.

"Okay, now go to the closet," Tristan said.

Ava ran to the closet and what she saw surprised her. His walk-in closet was divided into two. There was a section set aside for Tristan and then now for Ava as well.

Tristan got Ava clothes from all over the world. He figured she needed a whole new set of wardrobe since she has been staying with him a lot. No need to get new ones every time she stayed over.

The closet was arranged according to the color, designs, seasons, and accessories. Everything was crisp and neat. Ava was familiar with the expensive brands and designer clothes, but these were designs that she has never even seen in the market.

Some of these dresses were designed exclusively for the royal families. Some of the designers sold only a few of their items, and some of them were in this closet. People will die just to get a hold of even just one piece from Ava's closet.

The other dresses belonged to only 3% of the population. These women wear one of a kind dresses and never wear any dresses that have been duplicated.

Ava touched the clothes, and the fabric felt so soft like baby clothing.

She also saw a shelf that had footwear on it. Heels, flats, sneakers, it was like every footwear sold out there was in their closet. And then there were the bags. Ava went to pick them up and hug them, 'Oh my gosh, these are the handbags that I wish my mom would get me. These are unbelievable.' One handbag will be enough to make a statement, but it seems like he brought a whole handbag store.

"Tristan, these are so beautiful. I love it!" Ava screamed as she ran from one end to the other. Fawning over some new items every time.

Tristan felt satisfied seeing her grin and smile at everything he bought her. His main motive was to make her happy. It was worth it to have her so excited. He was ready to do anything for her. He should have done this sooner.

"Wait, you forgot something. You still haven't opened the safe," Tristan pointed the safe out.

"This… I thought it was just for decoration," Ava frowned. The safe had a painting on the outside, so she thought it was a decorative piece.

"What is the password?" Ava asked, standing in front of the safe.

"The day you accepted my proposal," Tristan said with a smile. The password was a four-digit number. So the month and the day together made the password.

"Oh no….I…forgot," Ava stammered and lowered her head, feeling guilty.

"Little one, how can you do this? You forgot that very memorable occasion in our life?" Tristan narrowed his eyes.

" Honey, I'm sorry… Tell me, I'll make sure to remember for next time," Ava pleaded while giving him a hug. 'Please, please, please?' she asked, kissing his angry face.

He sighed and gave her the password.

Ava thought the dresses and accessories were amazing but seeing the content inside the safe. She had no words to describe it.

"It's…. I mean… wow," Ava said, looking at rows and rows of jewelry. Diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and every stone and gem imaginable. The designs were all crafted by the top jewelry designers.

Tristan had gotten a few pieces of jewelry from the auctions, paying double the amount of its actual price. Ava found some pieces to be familiar. "Tristan, are these grandma's jewelry?" she asked, confused.

"Yes.. they are," Tristan agreed. He was surprised she recognized them.

"But I told her not to give all of them to me. Why are they all here?" Ava asked.

"What do you want me to do? She was very impressed with you and insisted that I should give you all of these," Tristan said in a proud tone. He felt happy with his choice. He was glad his grandparents liked Ava a lot.

Ava had told grandma that she did not want to take the jewelry that day, and she thought grandma had agreed. But grandma was not going to keep quiet about it. She really wanted Ava to have the jewels at any cost. She knew that if she gave them to Ava, she may return them, so she gave them to Tristan, telling him to pass them on to Ava.

"Tell grandma I love them," Ava said, cheerfully.

"Well, when she calls you next time, you can tell her," Tristan said.

Nowadays, it was common for grandma and Ava to talk on the phone. When grandma called Tristan, she always asked if Ava was next to him, and if Ava was, then she would rather talk to her. Grandma was starting to treat Ava as her grandchild, sometimes treating her better than Tristan.

She always wanted a daughter. She had a son and a grandson, and then her daughter in law was not a good woman. So she never bonded with grandma.

Now that she met Ava, grandma wanted to bond well with her.
