Chapter 16 - Teasing Him... Again!
Jada was lying on her stomach while on the sofa checking her phone with the TV on. She's alone in her unit right now, as Ada and Bambi have left for a gig. Honey, on the other hand, went out on a date with Kobe.
Mama Vane just called too, informing her of the schedule for the event. She confirmed that they're leaving this coming Friday. That means she only has four days in the country.
'How can I make the most out of those four days?'
A few more minutes later, the doorbell of her unit rang. She was even surprised to hear it since her friends have access to it and she was not expecting any guests.
When she looked through the intercom, she saw Lyken standing by her door. She ran towards the mirror to check on herself.
She fixed the spaghetti strap top she was wearing, to make sure her cleavage was exposed. She also pulled up her short shorts to show more of her legs.
When she was content, she went back to the door to open it. "Come in," she told him as she turned back to the couch, pretending to watch the show on the TV. "Good morning!" he greeted, smiling. He looked a little hesitant to sit on the couch.
She looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already two in the afternoon. "It's a good afternoon, Ly!" she teased, grinning. "Sit down."
His face reddened in embarrassment as he scratched the back of his head. Looking at his wristwatch, he slowly sat on the couch. "Sorry, I might have seen the time wrong."
"Why are you here by the way?" Jada asked straight out. He looked shocked after hearing her question but she just ignored it. She continued pretending to be watching.
"Sorry, did I disturb you? Kobe told me we're meeting here," he answered. "I've been ringing Honey's doorbell for a while but no one's opening up, so I thought they were here. I'm really sorry if I came at a bad time," he explained as he apologized at the same time.
"Ah no, it's fine. I was just lounging around anyway. He went out with Honey around three hours ago. They're probably on their way back. You can just wait for them here," then she stood up.
Jada intended to do that so he could see fully what she was wearing. She noticed his mouth fell open and couldn't help but chuckle on her way to the kitchen.
"You want anything, Ly? Coffee? Juice? Tea? Me?" she teased, making my voice sound as seductive as she could when she said his name.
Lyken was just staring at her as if wondering why she was acting weird. Then he responded with coffee. Jada acted disappointed when he said his preference.
"Sheesh, I thought you were going to pick me!" she smirked, stomped her foot, then turned around. She heard him let out a sigh, so she looked back at him, "Hey, I was just kidding! Calm down!"
Jada found it amusing that he looked uncomfortable when she was around after what happened between them. She wondered though, why was it that if it was another woman molesting him, he seemed to be fine with it. 'What a picky asshole!'
She went back to the living room with a cup of coffee and a jar of sugar. She placed it on the coffee table in front of her before sitting not far from Lyken on the couch.
"Here, not sure about your sugar level so I brought the jar," then she smiled at him.
His face blushed as he picked up the teaspoon. She can see him glancing at her from time to time, but she forces herself to focus on watching.
They were both quiet the whole time, they were even startled when her phone rang. Jada muted the TV before answering the call. "Yes?"© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"Hi miss, can I ask you for a date?" the guy on the other line asked.
It's Kristoff. She automatically smiled after hearing his voice for an unknown reason. "Sure! When?" she answered immediately. "Tonight?"
"Sure!" I'll just wait for Honey and Kobe to come back, then I'll text you when I'm ready. Lyken's here too. I can't leave him alone," she explained.
"Ah really? He's there? Alright then, text me so I can pick you up."
After ending the call, she tossed her phone on the couch before lying down and rolling on her stomach. Jada heard Lyken clear his throat, so she looked at him with her forehead creased. "You're going out?" She nodded in response. "It's fine, go ahead. I can wait for Kobe outside," he said, sounding rather awkward.
Jada pushed herself up to face him, "It's fine too, I'll just text him when I'm ready. No worries."
She saw his jaw tense up. Seeing him this uneasy, he looked like he wanted to ask her something but he couldn't.
I waited a while for him to say something but he remained quiet. Because of that, she just went to the bathroom instead.

While inside, she heard her door open, followed by Ada's voice. He greeted Lyken and looked for Jada as well. Before he could respond, she already stepped out.
Ada was already lying on the couch so she had no choice but to sit next to Lyken and she did. Since she was feeling bored, she felt the urge to tease him.
Jada pretended to yawn as she leaned back and rested her head on the man's shoulder. His body stiffened immediately, so she looked at him, sulking.
"I'm starting to get annoyed, Ly! Do I smell bad?" she asked, pouting before putting my feet up to face him.
He quickly turned to her, brows furrowed as he shook his head. "Then why do you seem tense and you look like you want to avoid me whenever I come near you?" She asked again, continuing with the drama. "N-No, of course not," his words stuttered.
He answered while glancing at Ada, acting awkward and all, as he probably knew that Ada was only pretending to be asleep. Because of that, Jada decided to tease him more.
"Really? Hmm, if that's true, then embrace me!" She even spread her arms wide open, waiting for him to do as she said.
He was just staring at her, unmoving, so she pouted again. He then moved closer, slowly, as he pulled her by the waist for an embrace.
She quickly snaked her arms around his neck. She even lifted herself slightly to let her lips reach his neck and she heard him gasp. Jada smiled the back of her head, 'It's really fun teasing him!'
