Feel the Way You Feel, My Love

“No, you can’t say no. You have to help me!” Jacqueline interrupted in a shrill tone.

Though he was not in the same room as her, Jackson thought he could imagine how desperate she looked at that very moment.

“Jacqueline, you should stay at the villa and repent. Maybe Shane will let you off easy out of pity. If you make a run for it now, you’ll only piss him off,” Jackson sighed as he doled out his advice.

Jacqueline vibrated with anger as she yelled, “What do you mean I’ll piss him off? I bet you’re the one scared of pissing him off! You coward!”

“How else should I look at you? You claim that you love me, yet you’ve never once confessed your feelings to me. What is that if it isn’t cowardice? Now that I’m stuck in the villa, you won’t come and save me after my begging. You’re nothing but a coward.”

Jackson smiled bitterly, feeling like a knife had stabbed straight through his heart. “I guess you’re right, Jacqueline. A coward like me can’t save you.”

Dejected, he prepared to hang up.
