Chapter 192 - What Are Your Hobbies

"Dan, when is Jack Nolan coming?" Matt impatiently asked him.

"Soon" 

Emily and Patrick signaled each other to keep quiet about their relationship and acted indifferent like they always do

Matt saw there was some space next to Jessica so he sat next to her as he intended to flirt with her, "So Ms. Carlson, how are you liking London?" He tried to initiate a conversation with her.

Rachel went to Daniel who was in the kitchen area, "Hey a heads up, keep your darling Jessica away from Matt" she warned him.

"Why? What happened?" Daniel was focussed on serving food on the plates.

"He is hitting on her and Matt is someone who fools around with the person and then he never calls them back"

Daniel laughed, "Yeah, I know him for a few months now, I already got that idea" He casually replied.

"Why are you being so casual about it?" Rachel was surprised at how indifferent Daniel was and didn't care about Jessica.

"Rach, if Jessica would have been that easy then she wouldn't have been single for all these years, she knows how to handle men like Matt, don't worry" He was about to kiss her on the cheek out of habit but he quickly stepped back as he realized their relationship is a secret.

"Fuck, I almost sold us out" Daniel turned around to see if anyone is looking at them but no one was and he sighed in relief.

"I don't think I can hide our relationship for long from my friends" Rachel shared her concern with him.

"Fine, if you want let's tell them, I already told Jess and Jim about it, you of course can tell anyone you want"

"I don't want to, they are assholes" Rach pouted at him.

Daniel pinched her cheeks and went to the living room with the tray full of snacks.

"How did you manage to cook so much?" Kate asked Daniel.

"I cooked only a few dishes, rest I ordered from outside" 

"The food is really good Dan" Emily praised it.

"Thank you, have as much as you want, there's more" Daniel smiled at her.

Finding Rachel alone in the kitchen Patrick approached her, "Rach, can we please talk?" He requested her.

"Why? If you have something to say talk to grandpa or Daniel then they will let me know"

"Rach, come on"

"Why? Isn't that what you always do?" She taunted him.

That day she was very distrubed and she was more hurt because of Daniel so she let off Patrick but her anger was still not gone.

"Hey, I didn't want to worry you, so I hid everything that happened. Come on Rach, you know how much I care for you"

Rachel ignored him and was still angry.

"What should I do to make you feel better?" Patrick felt bad seeing his friend upset.

"You will do whatever I ask you to?" Rachel folded her arms and seriously questioned him.

"Yes, anything"

"Then get back together with Emily and I'll forgive you" Rachel's anger was gone the moment Patrick begged her but since she got an opportunity to make Patrick do whatever she wants she decided to use it to her advantage.

It really broke her heart to see Patrick and Emily like this and so she made this kind of request.

Patrick was confused by her request, so Rachel added, "I know it is none of my business, you made that very clear last time, but Pat it breaks my heart to see you two like this. Just like Nick and Kate, you two deserve to end up together and get married someday. Today, I got an opportunity to make you do whatever I want so I am using it" Rachel explained the reason behind her silly demand.

Patrick smiled at her, "Rach, I'll tell you something but just keep it to yourself, okay?"

"Umm okay." Rachel was confused and wondered what it was.

"I and Emily are already back together" Patrick informed her.

Rachel was shocked with the news, "Seriously?" She hit him on his arm and again wanted to confirm, she tried not to shout at him in excitement.

"Yeah, during that Bob's murder, we had to meet for his autopsy then one thing led to another and we decided to give ourselves a shot"

"Fuck" Rachel still couldn't believe it, she happily hugged Patrick, "I am so happy for you two"

"Thanks but we decided to not tell others about it so I would appreciate it if you keep this news to yourself"

"So, I am the first one to know about you two?" Rachel asked him in excitement. 

"Matt already knows"

"The fuck, why is the one who always knows everything about you two?" Rachel got upset knowing she wasn't the first one to know this secret.

"He and Emily live in the same apartment, so…"

"Oh, right, makes sense"

"So, please keep it to yourself" Patrick again requested her. 

"Okay done, I am glad at least one good thing happened because of those two murderers"

"Hmm, you met Daniel because of them, that too is a good thing they did" Patrick added.

"Oh please" Rachel rolled her eyes, "Me and Daniel would have met sooner if I wouldn't have had run away from my home"

"Yeah, it was your fault" Patrick made fun of her.

"Whatever" Rachel pouted, recollecting her actions.

"So, what are your hobbies Jessica?" Matt was still conversing with her and in between his eyes kept wandering to Lisa to check on her, to see how she was doing.

Whenever he looked at her he could see her happily chatting with everyone there and he felt better.

"My hobbies? Hmm, I like killing cats" Jessica casually answered him.

Matt widened his eyes in shock when he got to know of her hobby, "When you say kill cats, you mean?"

"Cats, animals, I like killing animals" Jessica looked cold when she said it and Matt got scared.
