Susan was worried about Cassie and what she would think of her staying with Jack. She knew that both Jack and Cassie were boyfriend and girlfriend and on top of that Cassie hated her.
Previously, whenever she tried to talk to Jack in the presence of Cassie, she noticed Cassie's secret anger and jealousy.
"I think, I can stay on my own." Susan averted her gaze from him, for some reason she was ashamed of looking at Jack.
Although she has already been intimate with him and even lost her virginity to him, she still felt like she has done something bad to him.
'Maybe I shouldn't have asked his help, he must think I am crazy now.' Susan remembered her previous words.
She knew it was difficult to believe in ghosts, and even if she had been in Jack's shoes, she would not have believed a story like this.
She might have even made fun of Jack if he was the one telling the story.
However, she was also internally grateful that Jack was willing to help her even after knowing that the story was so ridiculous.
She looked him in the eyes and a subconscious smile broke out on her face, for some reason, she feels safe with him, even though she knew that he might not be able to save her from a real ghost, she still feels safe and comfortable.
'I love him...' She looked down and clenched her skirt.
She knew that she loved him, and she also knows that there was already someone else in his life.
This fact made her heart bleed a lot, she wanted him desperately, and just his presence is enough to make her feel good.
'I don't know how I will be able to live the rest of my life without him?'
Now she was feeling even more depressed than before, tears almost fell out of her eyes again as more and more thought started revolving around her brain.
'What if I never got to be with him?'
As she was lost in her thoughts she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder that broke her out of the stupor.
She looked up and saw that Jack has placed his hand on her shoulder and she could feel the warmth in his eyes.
Jack looked at her and knew that she was in deep trouble and was probably thinking about solving the matter on her own, however, he was ready to help her.
She was his girl after all and he has taken her virginity, Jack could never abandon his girls, they were very important to him and he couldn't see them sad.
That was the reason why he offered her to stay in his house so that he can stay close to her and protect her if needed.
Another reason was that he could feel her desperation and sadness, he knew that she wanted him, but, her proud nature prevented her from expressing her true feelings.
'I will make her lower her guard.' Jack decided as he couldn't see Susan depressed and unhappy.
He wanted her to live with him so she can be safe, although she might think that he doesn't believe her story, however, Jack completely believed her.
The first reason for believing her was that he has faced this kind of situation himself and the second reason was that her new panel flashed green when she told her story about Ron.
"You are staying with me from now on." Jack looked her in the eyes with determination flowing through them.
He didn't want her to feel alone as he was with her to help.
Susan stared at him for a few seconds, she didn't know how to respond to his words, first, she came to ask for his help, however now that he was providing her help she didn't want to take it.
She didn't want to cause a fight between Jack and Cassie.
However, now she can't say no as she was the one that asked for help in the first place.
"I don't think it will be the right thing to do. Living with you." She still tried to deny him, as her heart was telling her to do so, even though she would love to stay with Jack.
She was afraid that Jack would start to hate her if she caused fights between him and Cassie.
Although she can somehow bear to stay away from him, however for some reason she won't be able to bear his hate.
"Don't argue with me," Jack said in a strict tone, he could tell that Susan was being hesitant because of Cassie, however, he can't risk her safety just because of some infighting.
He would rather have a small fight with Cassie or Nicole than put Susan's life in danger.
Susan who was about to say something, stopped when she heard his strict tone, words didn't come out of her throat and she just nodded silently.
"I am sorry," She looked him in the eyes again. She was regretful of the fact that Jack was helping her while putting his relationship in danger.
"No need to be sorry, you are mine after all." His hand moved from her shoulder to her hair and he pushed them behind her ears.
A blush formed on her face because of his action, as her chest started moving up and down with breath turning hot in her lungs.
Her face started heating up, as blood moved to her cheeks.
Jack could see the change in her face just by the change in her breathing pattern, he could even see her face turning red.
"Kiss me." He grabbed her small neck with his rough hands and pulled her toward him, he wanted her to know that she was his and it was no big deal if she asks for help.
Susan's heart started beating at a rapid pace when she heard his words. She didn't know why this was happening, however for the past few days, whenever she is close to him she feels this way.
She looked at his lips and gulped her saliva, she wondered if she should kiss him or not.
The last time they kissed she thought of it as a one-time stand, however now she has gotten another chance to kiss him and she wasn't sure if she could commit.
