He gestures towards the Lotus, where the guy sitting in the passenger seat waves to Jessica. She gives a limp wave back. While her attention is diverted, I notice Jack’s gaze travelling down her body, giving her the discreet once-over. My fists clench and jealously gets me in a stranglehold. He’s playing the game that certain types of men play. Acting like butter wouldn’t melt. Pretending to be all sweetness and light when all the time he’s entertaining the filthiest thoughts imaginable.
From the look in his eyes, I can tell exactly what he’s thinking. When he stares at Jessica’s lips, he’s imaging how good they would feel around his cock. When he stares at her arse, he’s imaging how good it would look bouncing and rippling as he fucks her from behind. And when he stares at her chest, he’s fantasising about what it would be like to wank over her tits and cover them with his semen. Trust me, I know how men think, and the thought of him getting anywhere near my beauty tortures me to distraction.
“What are we standing around for?” Freddie begins to grow restless. “Why are we still here? Can we please go home now? I’m hungry, I want some Jammie Dodgers.”
Rocking back on his heels, Mr Adonis ignores the child’s whines and flashes a killer smile that he hopes will ingratiate him to my beauty. “So, you just picked your brother up from school, huh?”
“Y-yes,” Jessica stammers. “We’re just about to go home.”
“My sister used to go to Ravensbourne Primary. It’s a nice school.”
“Yes. Freddie likes it.”
“Hey little buddy, how are you doing?” Crouching down, he finally tries to engage with Freddie. “Did you have a good day at school?”
“No. It was shit.”
“Freddie! What have I told you about using naughty words?”
Jack laughs. “It’s fine. Most kids his age swear. My little brother does it all the time.” Straightening up, he locks eyes with Jessica again and gives her a look that he thinks is seductive. “Listen, I can see you’re in a hurry, so I won’t keep you. But you know, I was just wondering if you’re doing anything tonight?”
At first, my beauty looks too shocked to speak, and then she fiddles with her hair, looks at the ground and replies in a scarcely audible voice: “No, nothing. Why?”
He pretends to be coy. “I was wondering if you’d like to go to the cinema with me. Have you seenTitanicyet?”
Jessica’s cheeks flush. “Um, no, actually I haven’t.”
“You and me both. We must be the only two people in the world who haven’t. I’ve seen clips on TV and the special effects look amazing. And I love that Celine Dion song, whatever it’s called,My Heart Willsomething. Anyway, I’ll get to the point. There’s a showing at the Streatham Odeon at six o’clock this evening and I was wondering if you’d like to come with me?”
“You mean like a date?”
“Yes, a date. I’m asking you out.”
“Oh my gosh, I-I’d love to but…” Jessica bites her lip, hesitates. “What about…what about Georgina? Wouldn’t she mind?”
“We broke up. We’re not together anymore.”
“Really?” Her face lights up like a happy child. “Wow, I didn’t know.”
“Yeah, well, our relationship just ran its course. Thing is Jessica, I’ve always liked you. I mean like,reallyliked you. I just never had the opportunity to ask you out, but I always wanted to.”
“Please can we go now?” Freddie howls. “I want my Jammie Dodgers!”
Turning on his heel, Jack begins walking back towards his car. Flashing a final megawatt smile, he points directly at Jessica and drawls, “Six o’ clock, Streatham Odeon. Meet you outside?”
“All right, yes!”
“It’s a date then. Is that a smile I see? Yes—yes, it is, keep doing it, you’re so pretty when you smile. Look forward to seeing you later. Remember, six o’ clock, outside Streatham Odeon.”
“Yes, um, see you later.” As my beauty watches the Lotus drive off, she rolls her eyes and quietly mouths, “Oh my fucking God. Jack Parker just asked me out on a date!”
“Jess! You just said a naughty word,” Freddie scowls.
“Sorry. In my defence, I’m a grown-up and grown-ups are allowed to swear.”
“That isn’t fair. How old will I be when I’m allowed to swear?”
“Eighteen?”
