Chapter 224 - Back Hug (2/2)

This wasn't the first time they had been this close. After all, they had fallen asleep on the same bed and even on each other's shoulders in the past, but something felt different today. There was an ambiguous vibe to the atmosphere that Jaclyn couldn't explain.

Was this an extension of her jealousy?

Jaclyn stretched up to grab the detergent bottle but found that she was too short. The closets were built for standard European height, so her tiny stature was a bit of a disadvantage.

Mia giggled behind her and grabbed the detergent for her. She then grabbed a scrubbing brush and a pair of gloves.

”You're older than me, but you're like a child,” the woman teased as she leaned forward and started rolling up Jaclyn's sleeves. She then helped her put on the gloves. ”I bet you've never worked a day in your life. You don't want to damage those silky hands of yours,” Mia commented casually.

Jaclyn felt the woman's body press up closer behind her. Her soft b.r.e.a.s.ts rubbed against her back and her warm breaths fell against the back of her neck as her arms enveloped Jaclyn from two sides.

Jaclyn found herself subconsciously thinking about the woman's body. Mia had an amazing figure. She was tall, slender and curvy. Plus, she was young and beautiful. If Jaclyn was a man, Mia would be the ideal woman.

”Did you know that John likes you?” Jaclyn suddenly blurted. The atmosphere was getting a little awkward and Jaclyn was feeling a little fl.u.s.tered so she decided to change the focus to John. But, why was she suddenly feeling so nervous?

Mia giggled behind Jaclyn and slowly backed away.

”Did he tell you that?” Mia asked.

”Well...not exactly...but he never denied it,” Jaclyn replied. ”Besides, don't you think he treats you really well?”

”He treats me the same as everyone else. He's just a genuinely nice guy,” Mia responded as she went to grab a glass of ice-cold water from the fridge.

”Hasn't he made any special moves on you...?” Jaclyn said suggestively.

Did John really not take any of her advice?

”Special moves?” Mia asked with a laugh. ”Like what?”

”OK, let's start off with something more subtle. Has he ever fed you or wiped food off your mouth?” Jaclyn asked.

Mia burst into laughter, ”I'm not sick or disabled. Why would he do that? That's something I did for you when you were going through rehab...”

”Has he ever wiped your tears or offered you a shoulder to lean on?” Jaclyn continued seriously.

”I've never cried in front of him. Plus, he's pretty much the same height as me, it would be really uncomfortable for me to lean on his shoulder...” Mia replied with amus.e.m.e.nt.

Jaclyn still had her back to the woman, but she remembered the way Mia demonstrated her height a moment ago and nodded her head. That was right, Mia was much too tall to lean on John's shoulder. The last time Jaclyn fell asleep on Mia's shoulder, Mia had a sore neck for days...

”Then, has he held your hand when you crossed the road?” Jaclyn continued.

”I can cross the road on my own. The only time I've ever held a hand while crossing the road was when you almost got hit by a car earlier,” Mia teased.

Jaclyn remembered the scene from earlier and suddenly felt her heart race. Feeling fl.u.s.tered again, she blurted out, ”Then what about a back hug? That's one of the ultimate moves. He must have pulled that one on you, right?”

”A back hug?” Mia asked.

She then paused for a moment. The kitchen fell silent and all that could be heard was water streaming from the tap.

”Like what I just gave you...?”
