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.
