Chapter 84 - Three Is A Crowd

Jake was awed by the words that has slipped out of his mouth. He was shocked he by his own actions. He didn't know why he had asked them to go now, but anyway, wouldn't it be great to start his day doing what he has anticipated most, all week. Spending his morning with this chaotic girl was something he'd love to experience.

He suddenly felt his thump excitedly...he couldn't wait.

Jake made his way into the bathroom and took a quick shower. Soon he was standing in his walk-in wardrobe deciding on what to wear. He had an unusual frown on his face, as he looked at himself on the full length mirror, with a blue turtled neck sweat shirt, held over his body. He really wasn't sure on what to wear.

This was not something he usually experienced. He could always pick up something to wear and it usually wasn't this hard.

Why does he feel like he was going out on a date and he had to dress to impress his date. He had finally turned his wardrobe upside down, without deciding on what to wear.

This was supposed to be simple right?

Jake turned to his door when he heard someone knock on it.

"Come in" Blake walked into the room and he was shocked by the state of Jake's wardrobe. His mouth agape as he scanned through the room.

How the hell did the meticulous Jake turn into a messy and chaotic person.

"Not a word" Jake warned in a stern tone when he noticed the awful look on Blake's face, Blake could only nod in stupefaction.

"Why are you here?" Jake asked looking at Blake through the mirror, while he contemplated if this outfit was suitable enough. His question snapped Blake out of his thoughts.

"Uhhmm..are you going out?" Blake asked curiously.

"Yes"

"Where? Can I come too?" Blake asked excitedly.

"No"

"But why?" He asked with a sad pout.

'Because three is a crowd' Jake said in his mind. 

"Now tell me why you are here or get out" He really needed to focus and Blake wasn't helping him do that.

"I came to ask you if you could perhaps go with me to the mall and then we can have lunch at that Italian restaurant we usually do visit. I miss going there with you" Jake turned to look at him and he could tell Blake really wanted to hang out with him. He sighed.

"Can we go some other time?" Jake asked softly. To be sincere he also missed hanging out with him. Before he left the country, they always hanged out together. They'll visit their favorite Italian restaurant almost every week, and Blake would always tag along to the club. But unfortunately, things has changed since his return.

Now he had to run the company and Blake has lost interest in going to the club with him, which definitely was Mike and Ricks's fault. Now they spend so little time together.

"How about I go with you?" Blake couldn't help but try again, even when he knew what his reply would be. Jake knew he couldn't take Blake along with him. If it were to be something else, he'd agree in a heartbeat, but this is different. so hell no.

"Want to hang out with Mike and Rick? if you want to, then sure" Jake replied with a straight face.

"Nahh I'll pass" Blake replied quickly. There was no way in hell, he'd start his day with those crazy fellow.

But why were they meeting up so early? They normally hangout at night except on few occasions, even though weren't usually this early.

Well, he couldn't bother himself. Seems he'll have to go shopping alone, just like always when Jake was absent.

He raised his at Jake, who was now under his own scrutinizing gaze, looking as if he was about to make a life changing decision even if he was just looking at his outfit.

"Just lose the jacket" Blake said before walking out of the room. Jake watched him leave before returning his gaze back to the mirror. Jake took Blake's advice and he removed the Jacket he had on.

He looked at his reflection on the mirror and he gave a simple shrug. Hopefully this would do. He picked up his phone, at the time, he had about twenty five minutes left.

Looking at the location in his phone, he knew it would take him more than the twenty five minutes to arrive there. So he decided to take his sport car which he hadn't planned before, because it was too eye catching. But at this point there was nothing more he could do than take, if he doesn't want to keep her waiting.

The closer he got to his destination, the more anxious he felt. He ran his hand through his hair for the fifth time. Mixed emotions of happiness, anxiety, and confusion enveloped him. He was confused because he didn't why he was doing all this.

When his eyes saw Jade sitting at the bus stop, he felt pulling him from the bottom of his stomach. There was a feeling that soared through his entire body. The side of his lips covered up into a smile when he saw Jade's out fit.

She was dressed in a blue jean and a white shirt and white sneakers. Her long hair was pulled into a pony tail. The girl was casually dressed but she was beautiful enough to make heads turn. She keeps surprising him every time they meet, by unveiling her various sides of beauty.

"Miss Jade" He waved with a cool smile when he rolled down the windows. But she didn't reply. She just kept staring at the beauty in front of her in a daze. Jake chuckled in amusement when he looked at the girl that was enarmored by his car.

He was feeling regretful at the moment. He should have followed his gut and taken a more ordinary car than this beast. Or maybe he has just discovered something that could be advantageous to him later. A smirk appeared on his face at that thought.

He turned to Jade again and this time he spoke a little louder. "Miss Jade?" Jade jolted back to reality that was when she realized who she has been gawking at the car absentmindely.
