Chapter 70 - I can control myself (1/2)

”I-I can't f-find something to w-wear.” J stuttered as she tried to explain the nightgown to Jacob.

”W-what?” Jacob was confused. He stared at J and was mesmerized by her embarrassed look. She looks cuter, he thought. Finally, he realized what she meant and gave her a comforting smile.

”Let's see.” then he walked inside the closet. J followed him. Jacob scanned all the clothes that Madam Kelly bought for J. He shakes his head in dismay. His mother didn't buy pajamas for J instead she bought her sexy nightgowns. What J's wearing is the most decent of them. It is clear what his mother's intention is. He checked out other clothes to see if she can wear anything comfortable to sleep but found nothing.

Finally, he resorted to see if he got any oversized shirt that J could wear. Until he found one, but when he hanged it in front of J to see if it would fit her, an image of her wearing his shirt flashed in his mind and he thought she would look more enticing.

Jacob takes a deep breath and shakes his head then said, ”This won't do.” then returned the shirt to his closet.

He walks out of the closet followed by J then said, ”Don't worry, I can control myself.” but deep inside him 'Ah... it's going to be a sleepless night.'

”W-what do you mean?” J asked but Jacob lies down in bed with his back facing J.

J lie down beside Jacob and covered herself with a blanket. There was a moment of awkwardness until J breaks the silence, ”What happened earlier?”

”What?” Jacob turns to her and asked.

”You walked out of dinner and your family. That was rude.” J said sarcastically.

”Hmm...” Jacob replied then turned his back again on J.

After a moment he said, ”I don't want to hear the name of that singer from you again.”

J looked at Jacob's back and furrowed her brows then said, ”Whose name?”
