sophisticated,so what was the arguement about,he'd overheard Jay and his mother,this rich women just loved trouble.Looking at Jane who was oblivious of the burning tension at home,he wondered what awaited her arrrival,as it was just 20 minutes drive away.
Jane brought a small mirror from her bag,her make up was intact,she let herself enjoy the ride.

Jacob
The water felt cool on his airy skin,he showered and toweled his body dry,
He was still finding it hard to believe,that his mother had slapped him back there some minutes ago,he couldn't understand her banter about this gold digging thing,even if she was,he wasn't complaining,moreover she wasn't one.
Jane hardly asked him for money,he was always forcing her to ask him for things she needed,unlike her outspoken sister who never wasted time in telling him whatever she needed.
The duo were different in many ways.
He had heard his mother on the phone with his father,he'd already let his father in on all that happened and he apologised on behalf of his wife.That was one thing he loved about Richmond,he spoke his mind,he had merely advised him to becareful in all his decisions.
He had called Bash,who said they were just 20 minutes away,he wore a white shirt buttoned in the front over a pair of jean Richmond sent him two days ago,he loved his father so much and they looked alike in so many ways.
He'd gone into the kitchen for a last minute check and was satisfied with all arrangement,his wing of the mansion was neat and beautiful,he loved the scent of the fresh flowers Jackie brought into his sitting room,he put on the plasma and sat down awaiting Jane,passing time with a cup of iced lemon tea.
He'd stationed two help by the door,and asked Ruth to available,because he would be needing her.
She looked lovely in her tailored white pant on a blue chiffon blouse,you would find it hard to believe she would be clocking twenty eight in two months.she looked three years younger,her skin was fresh,it glowed and he loved her for it.
Jackie smiled as she walked in,she hugged her brother tight,they loved each other and was always on the look out for one another,she could see the beautiful glow in his eyes as he smiled,she sat beside him,
'Calm down brother,you look tensed' Jacob laughed,
'It looks like am a 17 yr old awaiting his first love right'
jackie laughed too.'Yes,just relax,she'll be here in no time.'
Jacob felt some ease as he relaxed.'Am glad you're trying to help me.'
'Am happy to be of help,if i don't take care of you,who will?'
She asked Ruth to get her a glass of what Jacob was drinking.
'You know,you're still my kid brother.'
'And you're my big sister' They often laughed about this.
The honking of the car brought Jacob to the present,he rushed to the gallery with Jackie following behind,'Yes' he shouted 'She's here'he said hugging his sister.
He watched Bash open the door,she got out and walked confidently behind Bash into the house,Jacob and Jackie rushed to meet her.He wanted to be there when she met his mother again.
He could hear the tick tack sound of her shoe,she was on the stairs now tailing Bash,just as they opened the door,Jacob saw Funmi standing atop the stairs staring at the approaching figure,They all stood still as Jane climbed the stairs and stood before the trio-Jacob,Jackie and Funmi-
Janet stood still too,she had lost her voice on the instant,everyone kept quiet,watching Funmi who was on her way out,she was gaily dressed and she was super beautiful at her age,probably to one of those saturday functions she never missed.
The atmosphere was tensed,the air stood still waiting for someone to break the silence.Jacob had began to sweat,Jackie stood there like a robot as Janet was lost amidst them.
Finally Funmi cleared her throat,'Hmmmm hmmmmm........ ....... ..........'
Like a rehearsed drama,every eye turned towards her as she began to speak.
Every eye turned towards Funmi,as she was about to speak,but Jane was faster,
'Good Afternoon ma' she had spoken before she realised that her lips had moved.
There was a dieing silence as Funmi answered 'Good Afternoon' she said quickly without any ceremony and walked away as fast as she could,the girl had changed from the last time she saw her,she looked confident this time and Heaven help,she was wearing Oscar de la renta,her favorite American designer,you could talk about taste,she got into her car as the driver opened the door.
Jacob threw his arms around her for a warm embrace as Funmi walked away,Jane was shy at first,but Jacob held on,he'd been so happy that his mother hadn't said something bad to her,he heaved a sigh of relieve as he gently let her go,holding her hands and facing a smiling Jackie.
'Meet the best sister in the world' Jacob smiled as Jane shaked Jackie who extended her arms for a hug.
Jane was surprised at her kind gesture,'And here is my sweetheart Jane.'
'Good afternoon'
'Good afternoon ma'
'Nice meeting you'
'The pleasure is mine' Jane smiled warmly as Jacob walked her in to the house.
'Common ladies,lets go in' Jacob led the way with Jane and Jackie walked behind them.
Jane gasped at the sight of the sitting room,she hadn't noticed it was this big the first time she came,the sofas,the multicolor blending of the walls against the sofa,it all looked beautiful.She practically floated in thin air.
Jacob took her to his wing,looking proud as he did so,Jane loved the persian rug with its smooky look,she sat on a two seater couch,overlooking a full home theater and a flat screen plasma looking relaxed on the wall.
Jackie sat opposite her,
'Am Jackie'
'Jacob has told me a whole about about you'
'Really?i hope they are good things' she smiled
'Yes' Jackie seemed to be a smart lady Jane thought.
'I love your dress'
'Thank you.'
'Thats Oscar de la renta'She gasped,'Mum must have noticed it,thats her favorite,you've got great taste.'
Jane enjoyed Jackie's prescence so much,she'd been elated when she spoke about the dress,although she didn't know much about designer wears,Jacob had insisted on this particular dress,she'd taken it because it was a pink gown,it fitted her well,enhancing her natural endowment,it had a low neckline but it wasn't too revealing,Perhaps Jacob was aware it was his mothers's favorite before picking it.
Jacob came in with a jug of cider,pouring a glass for her.
'You're welcome to my little hideout.' Jane smiled expressing her shinning dentals.
'You call this little?'
'Isn't it?'
'Ofcourse not,'
'Permit me to show you around the house then' He stood up paying her a bow,he held out his hands to her.
Jacob showed her his library where he had a whole lot of collection,his kitchen which he seldom use,his bedroom,the guest room and to other parts of the house.
Jane loved the big house and its workload of servants,she made comment where necessary,teasing him as they did their tour.
He'd finally taken her back to his own wing,Jackie had returned to join them.
'You must be famished by now' Jane smiled as that seem all she had been doing since she arrived.
Jacob pressed a bell,a neatly dressed man appeared in 10secs,Jacob ordered him to prepare the table.he'd come back in some few minutes time to declare all done.
'Its time we eat' Jacob announced as they made for the dinning.
Jacob was seated beside Jane with Jackie sitting acrosss the table.
Jane could perceive the aroma from the dishes,she loved the way,the dishes were set,it looked colourful that her mouth began to water,Jackie held a plate as she served herself,some grilled salmon,broccoli and lamb chops,adding peppered pasta salad.
Jacob asked Jane to help herself,she was at a loss of what to serve herself,she had never tasted some of the dishes and she didn't want to sound local,she looked at Jacob for help.
'I'll help you out' Jacob got a plate and served her some macaroni cheese,batter fried fish,with grilled chicken bosom,pouring her a glass of iced white wine,he also served himself and they ate.
'I hope you're enjoying your meal' Jane wondered,how one could have all this and still complain,she was enjoying the grilled chicken.
'Yes,its taste great' she answered.
'Taste the grilled broccoli with lemongrass and chilli,i bet you'll like it' Jane served herself.
'It does taste great,you must have a wonderful cook.'
'You're a wonderful lady too,little wonder Jacob can't stop talking about you'
jane smiled.'Thank you ma'
They discussed so many things as they ate,before Jackie excused herself.
'I have to go now,i am glad i met you,its been wonderful speaking with you.' Jackie said rising from the table.
'The pleasure is mine.' Jane said
'Do take care of my brother and you kid brother,make sure she enjoys herself' Jackie gave her a shopping bag while Jane thanked her.
Jacob was glad Jackie left,they finished their meal and drank some wine,Jacob made sure Jane had a taste of every dish on the table,even when she said she was watching her weight.
He took her to the sitting,where they talked together and laughed.
'You'll be leaving on Monday?'
'Yipee,though am not done packing'
'Do you need me to help you pack?'
'And what do you know about
packing anyway.' she laughed at him.
'I'm going to miss you'
'Me too.'
'What's me too?'
'I'll miss you too'
'I know,i only wanted you to say it the right way.'
'Thanks for the chocopologie'
'You're welcome dear'
'Don't you think you're spending too much on' Jane asked a bit worried.
'Am not complaining,why should you' Jane looked a bit tensed.
'Its okay,i just wanted to ask'
'You look tensed Jane,please relax,this is my home'
'I know,am fine.'
Jacob excused himself and soon returned,
'What are you hiding behind you?' Jacob smiled,his hands held something he was not willing to reveal.
'Take a guess'
'You know am not good at that.'
'Tryyyyyy....try try.'
'A car?'
'Dumb! How can i hid a car behind me.'
'Okay,just let me see it'
'Don't come near me' he shouted as Jane walked towards him.
'Okay' she sat back.
'Lets make a deal then'
'About?'
'You close your eyes while i reveal what am hiding'
'Done deal' Jane smiled.
'Done'
Jane closed her eyes and tried to guess what he held,while Jacob waved his hands over her face.
'Are those eyes closed?'
'I don't cheat' she said
'I know' he brought his forwards and nudge her to open her eyes,instantly he popped open a bottle of champagne,Jane looked delighted and Jacob watched the flicker of joy smiling through her eyes.
Jacob poured out two glassful and handed her a glass...
'What are we celebrating'
'Happiness,Joy,Love,Lasting Relationship,and Everything' Jacob smiled sitting by her side.
'Cheers' they chorused sipping their wine.
'This taste great' Jane said light hearted.
'I love you Janet'
'I ....' Jacob put his fingers to her mouth.
'Quiet,don't say it'
'Why?'
'If you do,it might go away and i don't want you to go away.'
'You're a darlingl Jane kissed him full on the lips.
'I like that' Jacob said licking his lips.
'Naughty boy' she laughed.
'Am a man,young lady' he drawled.
'Oops! Sorry,naughty man' they burst out laughing.
'Now,can we dance?' Jacob said moving towards the stereo.
'Is that a request?please make it a statement'
'Lets danceeeeeeee' Jacob said stressing the dance,he pulled her up,held her hands while their body moved to the slow steps of the song.
'Don't be dissapointed,am not a good dancer.'
'Neither am i,just move your body'
Jane finished her drink and asked Jacob to fill her glass again,she sipped the wine enjoying westlife,Queen of my heart,as Jacob held her waist.she loved the feel of his body against hers,the warmth therein.
Jacob moved his hands over her beautiful body,moving his body with hers,he clung to her like his life depended on it,she radiated warmth as she rest her head on his shoulder,he ached for her.
Suddenly without knowing how it happened,he felt her lips on his,she was kissing him,gently at first and in a seconds,it went fierce,she stopped suddenly as she had started,she picked the bottle of champagne and poured a full glass,she downed it in an instant,she walked towards Jacob seductively,holding his arms,she found his mouth with hers and kissed him slowly.
Jacob felt his body tremble,he carried her away to his bedroom,she clung to him removing his shirt in a haste,he was wondering if this was the same lady who'd said no to sex all this while,
'Are you sure you want this' His voice was husky as he spoke,
'Yes,please take me.' her hands caressed his back,pushing him on her.
'Jane,are you sure' he was finding it hard to restrain himself.She was in his bed already.
'Jacob,yes....pleaseeee.....i want you...in my body,nowwww' she said with laboured breath.
Jacob drew her up,his emotions were failing him as he unzipped her gown,she had nothing under except her lingerie,her bosom were full,succulent and round,he caressed her body.He couldn't believe his eyes as she made for his belt,throwing caution to the wind,he kissed her lips,her face and she moaned softly.
Sunday Morning
The atmosphere was warm,the bed big,no too big!,she woke up and wondered where she was,she didn't wonder for long when she saw the cream painted wall,this was definitely not her room.
To be continued at 8pm.
