Love Is A Risk novel Chapter 4

The next day early in the morning I was still in bed, when I heard someone knocking on my door. I had a terrible dream last night but I managed to sleep after twisting and turning around. I managed to drag myself out of the bed and opened the door to find Jackie barging in and hugging me and she made sure she closed the door.

I saw that she was carrying some shopping bags and I looked at her curiously while she made herself comfortable on the sofa beside the window.

"What are in these bags? Did you go shopping early in the morning?" I asked her as I looked up and saw the time, it was eleven in the morning I must have overslept. Usually when I come for the weekend, everyone lets me sleep late as they think I only work and don’t have time to sleep.

Jackie gave me a mischievous smile and said,” Yes, I had yesterday, I bought few dresses for myself and for you. I know you have not gone shopping for a long time, so I thought I will help you out and buy you few dresses.

I looked at her keenly and knew that she was planning something. So I said, “ That’s very considerate of you Jackiebut what is going on in your mind you tell me that first.”

“Oh! Jamie why are you so suspicious, I just thought it’s a special occasion so you should look the best as you are our family too and my best friend. Come on now put these dresses on and show it to me.”

She took out the dresses and I went to the wash room to try it on. I tried everything and all were too sexy. I never wear revealing clothes. I was feeling very shy.

I told Jackie, I won’t wear any of those but she is very adamant and finally after a lot of if and buts. She selected a torques coloured dress with matching silver earrings . It had a long cut and it showed my legs and calves. It had a deep cut behind.

I shook my head and said she was as bad as her brother.

“Blake? Did he come to visit you?” Jackie said curiously.

“No, he did not.” I replied.

"I see, when did he come? I am sorry I forgot to mention that he has returned."

"Last evening and no he did not come to meet me. He came to meet my brothers."

"Whatever it’s the same.” Jackie laughed.

"So you are still fighting with him huh?" Jackie asked.

"What fight with him? I have no better work." I said rolling my eyes.

"I think both of you are in love with each other but you are not admitting. I would love you as a sister in law.

“Throw Serena out of your house and I will give a shot at Frank.” I said smiling.

“Frank will not be able to control you, you are very wild Jamie.” Jackie laughed.

Then count me out according to your older brother I don’t know how to seduce men it seems." I told her sarcastically.
