Chapter 254 - What she wants (1) (1/2)
Jeff opened the door of his 43rd floor penthouse and let JoAnna come inside.
She got in, and he closed the door behind her. Both of them are nervous wrecks.
”Is it OK if I keep your things in my bedroom?” Jeff hesitantly asked.
She gave him a small nod. Jeff entered through the third door on the right carrying her suitcase, while JoAnna slowly continued down the long hallway until she reached a large game room with a pool table, chess table which is set up, pinball machines and a poker table surrounded with sofas and chairs. Wet bar was on the right side filled with various liquors. Everything looked sterile, no dust, no sign of wear or ever being used. The room was dark, lit up by the light of a burning fireplace.
JoAnna heard Jeff's steps approaching. ”Do any people come here?”
”Not really.”
”I never imagined that this would be your style.” JoAnna looked around.
”It's not...” Jeff admitted. ”I told designer to do what he wants, and it ended up like this.”
”What is your style?”
”I don't know... I never thought about it. I spend most of my time in the office, or out on business.” Jeff looked at the pool table and pinball machines. ”Do you like it?”
”Not really.” JoAnna was honest.
”You are welcome to redecorate.”
JoAnna didn't respond.
He enjoyed seeing her blush. He enjoyed seeing all different expressions that she is showing him. ”Hmmm... let me show you something you will like.” Jeff flipped a switch on the wall, and on three sides of the room blinds went up, revealing large windows. ”How about this?”
”Now, this is very nice... more than nice.” JoAnna took in the night view of lit up skyscrapers, and a busy Interstate 110 below, from the 43th floor. She walked outside on the patio and inhaled fresh air, while light breeze caressed her cheeks. JoAnna was mesmerized by the view filled with millions of night lights stretching with no end and meeting the stars at the horizon.
Jeff embraced her from behind. ”If you want it, it's yours.”
”What?” JoAnna didn't understand.
”Whatever you want... I can give you the world if you wish.”
She turned around and faced him. ”I have no such wishes.”
”What do you wish?” He was ready to do anything to make her happy.
What could she wish for? She is already with the man she loves and does not need anything other than him. ”What do I wish? … How about you show me around? If I want to shower, I don't know where to go...”
He smiled and gave a small nod. ”Come on... let me show you around.”
Jeff put his hand on her back and gently guided her back inside.
In the kitchen, JoAnna checked the fridge and pantry. ”You don't have any food here.”
”I eat out.” He simply responded.
”You need to get some food if you want me to stay here.” JoAnna made it sound like a warning.
”What do you want?”
”Basics... chips and ice cream. Ribbed chips and chocolate chip ice cream.”
