She Was Tamed
Chapter 46 – Leaving Again

Lyken quickly packed his stuff before he went to Jada's suite. When he got there, she was still working on her luggage so he helped her out. Looking at her as she does her thing, Lyken can't help but anticipate how they'll be when he starts courting her again. He can't help but feel excited.

As soon as Jada was done, he took her luggage and escorted her out of the suite. When they rode the elevator, Lyken placed an arm over her shoulders and smiled when she didn't refuse. The surprised looks on Rob and Steve's faces were very obvious when they saw the two. Lyken has her luggage in one hand, while his other hand is on her waist.

"Wow, dude! What's this? Are you two back together?" Robin teased as they walked towards them. Even he was smiling widely at the sight.

Jada just smiled at them as he taps Robin's shoulder. Steve then approached them, placing both arms over Lyken and Jada.

"It's about time you two!" he exclaimed. "It's about time you fix all your misunderstandings or Robin and I will get married before the two of you!"

Robin then hugged Jada, "Are you finally tamed?"

"Silly!"

He then pulled her away from Robin which made their friend laugh, "Dude! Possessive?" he teased and Steve started laughing too. "I didn't know Lyken Fontanilla could get jealous!" When everyone has gathered, they headed back to Manila. Jada brought her car but Bambi and Ada volunteered to drive it back, as she will be driving with Lyken.

She's quiet during the ride. Lyken wanted to reach out for her hand but he was still a bit hesitant as she might refuse. That's why he was shocked when she rested her head on his shoulder. Feeling ecstatic because of what she did, Lyken can't help but kiss her head. "I love you, Jada," he whispered.

She didn't respond but for him, it's fine. He doesn't want to rush her anyway. Lyken needs to be careful so as not to trip again.

They reached Manila in less than two hours. Steve and Robin went straight home. Ada and Bambi just left the car and headed to their salon.

"Ja, I'll go ahead so you can rest."

Jada turned her head to look at him and pouts as she pour water into the glass. She didn't say anything but she walked over and hugged him by the waist as she shakes her head.

Lyken got what she was saying so he nodded at her, then she continued what she was doing. He went to the living room to wait for her.

After her business in the kitchen, she went to the living room, straight to the couch. She laid down and let her head rest on his lap. Lyken missed this if she only knew. "Do you wanna go home?" she asked without looking at him.

Lyken leaned forward to look at her face, "You might want to get some rest. I know you're tired because of the preparations for the wedding and the wedding itself." She shook her head and take his hand. "Please stay for the night?"

Who can refuse the woman he loves? Without second thoughts, Lyken nodded at her in agreement then combed her hair with his fingers.

He wanted to kiss her, hug her, own her. But he stopped himself from doing so. He wanted to court her again and don't want to rush things.

While they were watching TV, Jada's phone rings, "Hello Mama Vane?... Uhmm, sure... Where's the venue?... Oh really?... Sure, sure!... Just email me the details, Ma!... Ok, bye!" "Mama Vane?" he asked, curious.

"Yeah, she's one of the organizers of modeling events. She said there's a show and I'm invited."

"Where is it this time?"

"Brazil, next month!"

Lyken let out a sigh and Jada noticed. She faced him with her forehead creased. "Is there something wrong?"

He turned his head to her and smiled lazily, "Nothing, Ja."

"I know there is. Come on, spill it out!"

"I was just thinking since you're leaving again, that means I'll miss you again," then he held her hand.

"Ly, you're such a player!"

"That's true Ja!"

"Hmm... The event won't last long, don't worry."

"Well, there's nothing I can do, for now. I'm just your suitor anyway."

She cupped his face as she smiles sheepishly. "You're the one I love the most among all my suitors!"

Suddenly feeling shy, Jada blushed and averted her eyes. Lyken smiled as he try catching her eyes but she avoids him, so he cupped her face too.

"Is that the truth?" he asked, grinning. "Is that true, Ja?" he repeated when she didn't respond.

She then nodded and smiled at him, and Lyken wasn't able to stop himself and kissed her. She was shocked at first but she eventually responded to his kisses and when he stopped, he hugged her tightly.

"I guess I need to work hard on courting you so I'd win your sweetest yes. So you can stop attending shows too and just stay at home as my wife."

He's actually jealous of Kobe as he was able to convince Honey to stop modeling. Even before they got married, Honey compromised and agreed to Kobe's request.

He wants to do the same with Jada. Lyken wants her to stop modeling too because, for one, he doesn't want her to be exposed whenever they have events.

Another reason he wants her to stop is because of her frequent travels abroad. Whenever there are shows, they'd stay in a certain country or even continent for months and he can't deal with that.

Lyken can't focus on his work whenever she's out of the country. Aside from that, he tends to miss her if he doesn't see her even just for a day.

So yes, he has to work doubly hard to win her back. And Lyken has to do that as soon as possible.

Otherwise, he'll have to live with Kobe's scoldings and his missing and longing for her for a while longer. For him, that would be torture.
