Chapter 63: Talia and Jephthah 2

To say he blushed was an understatement. He looked like a freaking tomato as he turned to the other way, panting hard, trying to still his fast beating heart.

Talia gasped and staggered back with a red face when she saw the root of the huge tree had taken a generous amount of her dress along with her self-being.

Her gown was long and strapless and all was left now was the ragged pieces which barely covered her thighs.

"No... No....No."

She turned to hide behind the tree and took a pentative peek at Jephthah who was still faced the other way. She lowered her eyes before calling out in a small but audible voice.

"Give me your jacket."

Jephthah flinched when her voice came from behind, taken back by how small it was. She sounded vulnerable.

Without a word, he lowered his gaze and began fumbling with zipper. There was a plain white T-shirt underneath it. He held the jacket in his hands and didn’t know what next to do.

Talia rolled her eyes and sighed. She went up straight behind him and grabbed the jacket, yanking it away from his hand before tying it around her waist, her face still red.

"We should go back to the party. Thanks for the jacket by the way." She simply said and turned to leave.

Jephthah blinked and turned in time to realize she had walked a long way ahead of him.

Why was she acting so strangely?

Was she angry with him?

What did he do?

He didn’t know if he should run ahead and catch up with her or just keep walking so he chose the latter and decided to watch her stalk away from behind.

Talia on the other hand expected him totp run after her. After all, she had intentionally made it obvious that she was angry. Why was he acting so nonchalant?

No Talia, why are you so worked up over him. You’ve got so many guys from different packs who would kiss the ground at your feet just to be with you. You’re beautiful, strong, independent... Why do you even wish to have someone like him feel anything for you. You don’t even know him as much as your childhood friend, Cardin. Why are developing such a stupid feeling for him?

It was like her wolf was cautioning her as she fisted her hands by her side, fuming.

Suddenly, she could hear soft foot steps ahead and she froze and looked up, anticipating who it was, coming at her.

Jephthah could hear the sound of something or someone advancing towards Talia and without a thought, he rushed forward, ready to protect her.

He was already at her side when a woman came at them from no where.

Talia recognized her almost immediately and narrowed her eyes coldly at her. She was sure Jephthah would recognize her.

She was the sl*t from the party. The brown eyes, raven black haired woman who practically threw herself at Jephthah at the party.

Seeing her up close, Talia noticed how she had such a beautiful hour-glass shape. Unlike she who was lacking on the hip area and chest area.

The woman had this full heart-shaped lips whereas hers was full but she felt it was out of shape and a bit big. Overall, this woman was everything Talia was not.

"Jephthah...I saw you leave the party and I followed you here. What are you doing here ..." it was then her eyes fell on Talia who had a Killing intent disgusied as an unfathomable glint in her eyes. "Sorry...was I interrupting something here?"

"Of course not," Talia cut in with the scariest smile Jephthah had ever seen. "You want to talk to him? He’s all yours." Without turning to glance at Jephthah, she continued walking ahead and the woman by name, Angel, just stared at her retreating back in confusion.

She turned to Jephthah apologetically.

"I’m sorry for intruding. I-I just thought you were leaving and I wanted to say goodbye so..."

Jephthah just sighed and held the bridge of his nose.

"It’s okay. I’m heading to the party venue to get my brother."

There was a glint of excitement in her eyes.

"Okay...let’s go together!"

Jephthah was reluctant about it and his gaze moved to Talia once in a while who kept walking forward like a programmed android.

However, Angel was a chatty type and kept him entertained with her sweet voice talking of several and fascinating topics. Some which made him laugh out loud without realizing how his laughter caused Talia’s heart to wring like a fabric.

She found herself eavesdropping on them and didn’t notice the rock in her way and her feet landed against it at once.

Cursing out loud, she swore and winced before hurrying her steps, running even.

Jephthah stopped smiling when he heard Talia swear at something but he didn’t have the chance to inquire what was wrong because she suddenly ran away from them like she was chasing after something.

"Did you guys fight or something?"

When Jephthah didn’t reply, she quickly said,

"Um...I’m sorry. It’s none of my business. I shouldn’t have asked."

"She’s just been acting strange all evening. It’s like she’s mad at me for something but I don’t know what I did."

"Wait...was she the girl you were dancing with before you left her standing alone on the dance floor?"

Jephthah raised a brow.

With the way Angel put it, it was like he had something wrong

"I didn’t leave her...I just wanted a drink..." he held his face with his two hands. "Is that why she’s mad at me?"

"You thought that’s what happened but the way I saw it, you made her feel like you didn’t enjoy dancing with her. That was humiliating for her."

"Why didn’t she just tell me?"

"Girls are different Jephthah and besides, you could have asked her why she was so angry when you had a chance."

"And I think she’s jealous..." Angel suddenly said staring ahead of her with a sheepish smile.

Jephthah turned to her like she was an alein.

"Talia? Jealous? Of who?"
