Chapter 73: Chapter 73

**************************

(7pm)

Jake finally drove away from his mother's house

He went to visit his mother earlier,she really wanted him to come home

The real reason why Kate called Jake for a visit is because,he wanted to remind him about his so called girlfriend and also to know that she lives in Los Angeles for now

On his way back, Jake thought about what Jenny told him, 'she is head over heels in love with you'. That statement kept on ringing in his head over and over,was Jessica really in love with him all this while? If she was, then why on earth did she not tell him this?

"Girls are something else?"

He muttered

Suddenly,his throat became so dry,he is badly thirsty

He stopped at a small market nearby and bought a bottle of water,still in the car,he drank the half of the water and he became better

Before starting the ignition of the car,he sighted a bar, and saw a lady coming out of it feeling drunk

He couldn't see well since it was getting darker,but he had a feeling that he recognise her

His mind just decided to ignore it,he started his engine and the car moved

While passing the drunk lady,he heard a familiar voice

"Let me go!!"

He heard that same voice again and he knew that he sounded just like Jessica's voice

He reversed his car back and suprisingly he actually saw Jessica,the weird lady coming out of the bar was Jessica

"Jessica, what the hell is she doing here?"

He muttered and sighted her with some boys

He definitely knew he wasn't seeing things, that is Jessica

Immediately,he alighted from the car, and walked towards her

"I said let me go"

Jessica said trying to release her grip from the strange men around her

"Relax beautiful,we are only trying to help"

One of them said and chuckled

They knew she was drunk, and she had no strength to break free from them

"Let her go"

Jake yelled glaring at them

"Jake? Hey Jake, how are you doing?"

Jessica waved, obviously she was really drunk

"And who do you think you are?"

One of them yelled

"Just get out of here dude, mind your fûckíñg business"

The blonde one said

"Look,I want to make this very easy,let her go and nobody gets hurt"

Jake said again

"Who is she to you? Your girlfriend?"

The blonde one asked

"Doesn't matter, just let go of her"

"Look dude, what are you going to do? There is only one of you and two of us"

The other one said

"That is it"

Unexpectedly,Jake threw a huge punch at the blonde one making him to fall

"Ughhhh"

He groaned in pain

It obvious that they were also drunk

"Yay, Fight! Fight!! Fight!!!"

Jessica yelled

"You are not helping Jessica"

Jake yelled

"Hey why did you do that?"

The other tried to punch Jake,but he was quick dodge it

Immediately, Jake forearmed the boy's neck

He really doesn't want to hurt them,but they are making this way too easy

Before both of the boys could stand up back on their feet, Jake grabbed Jessica by her wrist and dragged her to his car

"No,let me go"

She yelled

"Jessica, what are you doing?"

"I said I let me go"

She yelled again

"I don't want to see your face"

"Jessica please don't make this hard for me"

He yelled back

"Ughhh,I won't leave"

She sat down on the floor

"Jessica,stand up"

Jake whispered

"I'm not standing till you apologize"

"Apologize for what?"

"For....for...... ignoring me"

She whined like a child

He smacked his forehead in frustration

In no time, everyone stared at them, and wondered what Jake could have possibly done to make the poor girl sit on the floor

"Fine,am sorry, now get up"

"Bye me something,am hungry"

"Jessica!!"

He yelled

"Don't yell at me"

"That is it"

Jake dragged her by the arm and carried her on his shoulder

"Put me down"

She struggled her way down but Jake was just too strong

Jake immediately opened his car door,put her in the car, and locked it immediately

He entered his own seat and saw her pouting her face like a baby

"Wear your seatbelts"

He said

"I hate you!!"

She yelled

"Really,I thought you said you love me"

Her eyes widened in shock

"I never said that, you are so selfish, you only think about yourself"

She whined

Jake smiled a little, she is really drunk

Immediately,he got out of the car,but still locked her in

"Hey let me out"

She yelled from inside the car

He didn't answer her,he stopped at a cart and bought something. It was too hard for Jessica to see whatever he was buying

Immediately,he entered the car and handed her a small box

"What is this?"

She asked arching

"You said you were hungry,I bought you hotdogs, enjoy!"

He said and started his car engine

Jessica scoffed in disbelief and opened it, suprisingly she saw two hotdogs inside

"Thanks"

She muttered

"What were you doing here in the first place?"

He asked with a thick voice

"I don't want to talk about it"

"If I hadn't come here,I really don't want to imagine what does disgusting men would have done to you"

"I can take care of myself"

She yelled eating one of her hotdog

"Really? You know I just saved you, you are welcome by the way,tell me why you are drunk or I will tell Justin what happened"

"No no no no, please don't tell Justin,he will be so angry at me"

"Then tell me why you are drunk"

He grinned

"I was just so angry at you, and drinking sometimes makes me forget about what happened"

"Why are you angry at me?"

He made a U turn

"You know why I'm angry at you, you disappointed me, firstly you told me you love me and immediately you asked us to be friends"

"The reason why I said that is because when I told you my feelings for you, you kept on running away from me"

"Because I was confused okay? The day you kissed I started having feelings for you"

"Really?"

He slowed down the car a bit

"Yes,but I was just confused, you didn't even give me time to think, you said I can think about it but I shouldn't say no, who does that anyway?"

She yelled

There was a silence for a while

"I'm sorry"

Jake said

"It's okay, you deserve to be sorry"

"Do you also have something to say to me?"

He asked

"You want an hotdog?"

"No I mean don't you want to apologize to me"

"Um....not really"

She muttered

"Jessica?"

"Fine, I'm sorry"

She pouted

There was another silence before Jake decided to break it

"Jessica.... the truth is, after I told you that we should just be friends,I never stopped thinking about you, you were always in my head, it's like you casted a spell on me"

"I guess you and I were thinking the same,I also couldn't stop thinking about you"

Jessica muttered acting super shy

"Really?"

"Please don't make me say it again, you are making me super shy"

Jessica said avoiding his eyes

He chuckled a bit and smiled

"So,are you really in love with me?"

Jake asked

She looked away and blushed so hard

"Yeah"

She said and giggled

Jake smiled heavily

Finally, they arrived at the school, Jessica firstly alighted from the car before Jake followed her

He didn't walk too fast,he just let her lead the way. Suddenly Jessica slowed down and waited for him to catch up with her

Immediately they were on the same track, Jessica kept her eyes mostly on the hotdog she was eating

"You want a bite?"

She asked

"I can see you are in love with that hotdog, just finish it"

He smiled

She smiled back and they both continued their tracks

Jessica thought of something weird to do, she moved closer to Jake and she locked her fingers into his

Jake smiled a bit and responded softly to her hand while Jessica did the same by resting her head on his shoulder while they walked

****************

They both finally entered the school and reached Jessica's room still their fingers locked with each other

Jessica released her fingers and reached in for her keys

"See you tomorrow"

Jake interrupted her from entering

"Okay, goodnight"

She replied

They both stared at each other for a while before Jake pulled her closer to his body

They breath in and out in each other faces, before they aimed for their kiss

Before they kissed, Jessica saw a light coming toward them, she couldn't see anybody but she knew someone was coming

"Jake, someone is coming"

She whispered

"So?"

He didn't wanna miss this opportunity

"Ughhh"

She quickly dragged him into her room and locked it immediately

After some while,she opened it and saw that the light was gone

"Huh,that was close,if I get caught like this in the night,I will be in serious trouble"

She muttered and turned around immediately

She sighted Jake staring at her lustily making her nervous a little

"Stop staring at me like that"

She blushed

The room was dark and silent but they could still see each other's faces

"We were in the middle of something"

He said and moved closer to her face making her startled a little

He breathed on her face but locking his arms around her waist

"If you are getting uncomfortable,I will stop and just leave"

He whispered

"Do you want to do this?"

He asked smiling

Jessica smiled and said

"Yeah"

Immediately she aimed at his lips

Feasting on the goodness sweetness of their lips squeezing each other tight
