Jackson was going to come after me, there was no way I could go on that date with James. Jackson was dangerous, who knows what he would do to James If he saw me with him. I knew without a doubt that Jackson was following my every move. He was Jackson after all. I wasn't going to let him take me, he was going to have to kill me before I'll let him take me.
What was I going to tell James. I couldn't tell him an assassin was following me, and that he wants to take me. He'd probably think I was crazy. I had to think of something to tell him. I feel bad for blowing him off. I look at his number that I written down on a piece of paper, and after a minute I called him up.
"Hello?" I hear him say on the other line. I take a deep breath, and say.
"James about tonight-"
"Dinner plans are set, you don't need to worry. I know a lot of people In this town, and got the best seat In the house at that new Italian Restaurant." He says overjoyed, I bite the bottom of my lip guilty. I couldn't blow him off now, after all the hard work he put into this dinner date. No man has ever done something like that for me. It was a risk going on a date with him when Jacksons on the prowl. But It was about time I start taking risks In my life. I was going to have to keep a watchful look out for him, but there was no way I was going to ruin this.
"Sounds great, I can't wait." I say trying to sound happy. I was more nervous In my life. After years of pushing people away, this was going to be my first date In years. Not only It that I was going to have to worry about Jackson. Jackson was capable of many things, killing was one of them. I wouldn't be able to live with myself If Jackson killed James.
"I can't wait either. You know It's been awhile since I've gone out. Work has always consumed me In everything. I'm just glad Its you I'm going out with tonight." He says sweetly making me blush. Maybe Jackson wouldn't do anything tonight. Maybe I actually might be safer with James around. Another thing about Jackson was, he never liked to blow his cover. But who knows maybe that might have changed. Jackson was out for revenge, he wouldn't stop at nothing till I was dead. I guess we'll have to see.
"Well I better get ready I'll see you later." I say hearing him say bye on the other end. I hang up the phone smiling like a fool. I know I shouldn't risk something like this, but Jackson will no longer control my life! I will not live In fear of him, I just have to keep telling myself that.
