Fiona shook her head with a playful grin, "Hey, do you think this dress looks good on me?"
Her voice was casual, but there was something in the way she said it that was downright irresistible, like a kitten's paw playfully scratching at Jackson's heart.
He even felt a tickle in his throat.
"Yeah, it looks great."
His lips parted slightly as he let out those two simple but sincere words.
Fiona stepped closer, and that's when Jackson noticed she was barefoot.
This girl, even her toes were painted pink!
He muttered to himself, keeping his expression cool and collected.
Seeing Jackson still unmoved, Fiona decided to pull out her ace.
She grabbed his shirt collar and whispered, "I couldn't find the right slippers. Mind giving me a lift?"
Jackson froze for a moment, a flash of something intense in his eyes that was gone as quickly as it appeared, but Fiona caught it.
Her heart skipped a beat, though she kept her cool, standing there with her toes curling against the floor.
Just as Jackson was about to scoop her up, she darted into the guest room and shut the door before he could react.
Jackson sighed, leaning on the door frame, watching her retreat.
The door opened slightly, and Fiona peeked out, catching Jackson still looking her way. She flashed him a cheeky smile.
"Goodnight," she called out.
Then the door closed with a thud.
Jackson found himself chuckling at the whole scene. After all his years, he was wrapped around the finger of this young woman.
But instead of being annoyed, he found it surprisingly entertaining.
This girl was turning out to be quite the charmer.
And she knew how to keep things interesting.
