Chapter 196 - We Are Dating

"You know what guys, Jack had to sleep with a few women to make up for Daniel's rejection" Amanda added and looked at Jack, shaking her head in anger.

"Wait, what?" Nick was interested in knowing this story.

Everyone insisted so Jack shared the story of their past.

"So, there were a few batch-mates and juniors in Cambridge who proposed to Daniel over a period of time." Jack started the story.

"One or two, there were not a few people, please" Daniel corrected Jack.

"Whatever, so one day he rejected this woman, she was very sad and was crying in the lawn after he rejected her and I knew it because Daniel sent me there to console her as he felt bad for her. While I was consoling her, one thing led to another and we slept."

Everyone clapped after they heard Jack's story.

Amanda rolled her eyes, "He took advantage of a vulnerable woman, stop praising him." Amanda scolded everyone who clapped.

"She was not vulnerable, am I that bad to take advantage of someone? She initiated it and I didn't say no, we even dated each other till I dropped from medicine." Jack justified himself.

Amanda glared at him in anger and shook her head.

"You are jealous" Jack laughed at her and Amanda ignored his teasing.

"Wow that was an interesting story" Jessica liked this story.

"I can't believe it because of my brother, my idol got a girlfriend" Jimmy happily exclaimed.

"Hey, what do you mean by because of your brother? It was my own talent." Jack was offended by Jimmy's words.

"Sorry" Jimmy cheekily apologized and Jack laughed at how cute Jimmy is.

"Then weren't things awkward between that girl and you?" Nick asked Daniel.

"No, she rather thanked me for rejecting her as she apparently found a better person" Daniel laughed recollecting those days.

"Amanda you are next" Lisa reminded her.

"Yeah, so never have I ever skipped a movie or left it mid-way while watching it. I always complete every movie I start."

Except for Jack everyone took a sip of their drink as they all left movies mid-way in case they didn't like it or found it boring.

"Jim, you too?" Amanda was surprised when Jim too took a sip.

"Yeah, at times I fall asleep while watching a movie" Jimmy confessed.

Then it was Jack's turn.

"Never have I ever made out with someone in public" Jack made his statement.

"Matt kissed me in public, so I'll take a sip" Lisa announced and took a sip.

Daniel, Rachel, Emily, Lisa, Matt, Patrick, Nick, Kate and Amanda took a sip.

Jessica, Jimmy and Jack didn't.

"What the fuck Daniel, you made out in public" Jack exclaimed in shock seeing him take a sip.

"I also saw Rachel drink" Jessica added to tease her and throw her under the bus.

"Yeah, I too was about to point Rachel out" Emily announced after she took her sip.

"Okay guys, Daniel and Rachel, our two contenders" Kate announced let's vote.

Emily, Lisa, Matt, Patrick, Nick, Kate, Jessica, Jimmy and Amanda voted for Rachel. Only Jack voted for Daniel so Rachel was asked to share the story.

Rachel was not sure what she should do but since everyone was being honest she too decided to just go with it. 

"Me and him went on a long drive, to see sunrise, there we made out" Rachel informed in short.   

Emily, Matt, Patrick, Nick and Kate were surprised as they understood it was Daniel as Rachel was not someone to get involved with random people or have casual hookups, they wondered if things progressed to this level.

"Who is he?" Matt asked her in excitement although he knew the answer.

"Daniel, it was you right?" Jack questioned him as he could see Daniel was blushing and the last time when he met Rachel and Daniel in the theater, he already got an idea that they were not just friends as they claim and there was something more brewing between them.

"Yeah" Daniel accepted.

"What the fuck? Things have already progressed till kiss?" Emily shouted in excitement.

Jessica scoffed, "Kiss? Things progressed even further." She winked at Rachel and sold her out.

Rachel turned embarrassed, "What? Tell me everything" Kate excitedly asked Daniel and Rachel.

"It is my turn now" Daniel ignored everyone.

"Come on guys, please give us more information" Matt begged them.

"I'll give you one information, then you won't bother us" Rachel seriously looked at everyone as she was tired of them being nosy.

"Okay done" All promised.

"We are dating each other" Rachel, officially announced as they were anyway almost caught so she just went along with it.

Daniel didn't mind it as they were all their close friends and if Rachel was comfortable in sharing it then he too was.

Lisa was surprised that her friend is dating her boss, rest all were still processing what she said.

Then they all shouted in excitement and everyone talked together making it difficult for Daniel and Rachel to hear and understand what they were saying.   

Everyone stood up from their seats and they all hugged and congratulated the two people.

They were all very happy for the two as everyone there knew either Rachel or Daniel very closely and some knew both of them well, so they knew how serious they were about each other.

"I want to know the whole love story" Emily was the happiest of all as she once felt bad for Rachel, as Rachel had a crush on Patrick and Emily knew Patrick only loves her, Rachel too knew it. Since then, Emily always wished Rachel to find someone for herself who would love her even more than Patrick loved Emily, today she was happy as she knows Daniel very well and could see how much he loves Rachel.

Emily was the happiest of all as she knew Daniel and Rachel are perfect for each other.

Jack too was very happy as his friend who always rejected everyone finally fell in love.
