Chapter 128 A New Beginning 2

After another week Jake's team won another game, the team won well and Jake got his second Triple double followed, the team won well and everyone was very happy about it.

Jake took advantage of the time and went to talk to Oliver, Jake came home and the housekeeper took him to Oliver's office.

"Jake, how long have I not seen you, you and Joseph are growing up, you're not coming so much here and you're starting dating a girl your age and my son started dating too, and I'm getting more alone all the time."

"You're too exaggerated, I know you were very happy when you heard that your son was dating."

"Of course I was proud of my son, he's still such a beautiful and intelligent girl that he's dating."

"And Joseph was afraid you would not agree, he said he expected me to approve to convince you, I saw that your son does not even know you."

"I'm happy with that, you'll know that when you're a parent, your son has to be a bit afraid of the father to respect you more, the important thing is you know the right spot so it does not affect your relationship with your child."

"I do not agree very much with this, but I know that each one has his way of raising a son, I have no fear of my mother, but there is not one person I respect more in the world than her."

"That's because your character is good, so I think you're such a good influence on Joseph, you see he's more confident now, he's lost weight and even got a good girlfriend, all this is because you're his friend."

"I think you underestimate your son, he just needed better support, it could be me or anyone, besides, I also learned a lot of things and I am very grateful to be a friend of Joseph."

"So that's good for everyone, but by changing the subject I knew what happened at school, I said that it was best that you let me talk to your principal, I would have taken that ex-trainer from you a long time ago."

"I could not imagine that the situation would be like this, I do not usually think that all are crooks."

"But you should, so you would never be deceived."

So Jake talked for a while with Oliver and then even played some chess matches with his friend, Oliver had a Jake-like mental age, so Jake felt more comfortable with him.

Jake also decided to take Jenny to the movies to watch a movie with her, Jake wanted to know what it was like to watch Forrest Gump at the movies, he thought about taking his mother there, but now Eva also had her own friends, besides, Eva never liked much of this movie.

So Jake thought of taking Jenny to see this movie with him, Jenny was very happy, she knew that Jake was different from the boys of the same age, but for some months they were leaving and Jake never tried to kiss her, so Jenny thought that he might not like her.

But today she felt it would be different after all the cinema would create a perfect climate for this, and Jake had not thought of any of it and just wanted to see the movie.

And after the movie was in the middle Jake realized that Jenny was looking at him with passionate eyes, although he did not really have many experiences with relationships he had some girlfriends and knew what Jenny was expecting.

So Jake hugged her affectionately and kissed her after that Jenny had a satisfied smile on her face and returned to watch the movie after the film ended that Jake was realizing that the name of the protagonist of the film was Jenny and this may have excited a little she.

Even though Jake had not planned on that, having already seen the movie turned out to be perfect for a first kiss, and Jenny must have thought it was the destination that made it happen, so after Jake took her home he officially asked Jenny to date with him and she accepted.

Jake went home really thinking about how his luck worked well at such times, after dining with his mother he thought that would be a good time to tell what happened to her.

"Mom, I wanted to tell you something that happened today."

"What is my son?"

"I started dating today."

Eva was a little surprised for a while, after all, she did not even know that Jake had liked some woman, and suddenly he started dating up.

"I think that's very good, my son, who is she, what's her name?"

"Her name is Jeniffer and she studies at the same school as me, I met her at a birthday party for Joseph's girlfriend, she was the one who introduced her to me."

"So you've liked her since this party?"

"No, I was a little angry at the time, so I did not care much about her, but I found her very beautiful, but after meeting with her many times I ended up liking her and started dating today."

Eva knew that Jake did not use to lie so that must be the truth, she was very happy for her son, but a little sad because she knew that she would be more alone from now on, nevertheless she would always put Jake's happiness in the first place.

"So when are you going to introduce her to me, Jake?"

"I do not know, I think only if things get more serious, even though I like her just now that we're dating that I'll be able to know more things about her and her more things about me."

Jake thought anyway, mainly because he was a very serious person who did not like to play with anyone's emotions and nobody to play with their emotions.

So a week went by and the day of the third regional championship game came, Jake was completely focused on this game and the whole team as well, they knew that if they played well they would win, so they had to do only what they knew.

Jake was still in search of his Triple Double in all games, so he was the most active player in the game when the game started Mark gained possession of the ball high for his team, Jake received the ball and started the first play of the game.

Although Jake was behind making a Triple Double in the games who scored more points in all the games now it was David who was the SG, Jake thought that was the right one after all David improved his abilities very much in those two years.

Carter attacked better now, but he was still much better at defense and Mark was the same, Harrison was also much better at his technique, but having stayed so long without playing he needed to find the rhythm of the game.

So it was only natural that David was the one who made the most points in the games, Jake could too, but it was unnecessary for him to do it all alone having companions to play along.

So in the plays Jake passed the ball more often to David and varied with his teammates, whenever he could he passed the ball to Mark who sometimes dunks to cheer the crowd, Jake also had times that ran right passing by all his opponents and doing a dunk.

Now that Jake was taller with all his physical stats he could easily do a dunk, so he had to dunk whenever he could to increase the rank of his skills.

As the opponents in the regional championship were weaker he could often guess where his opponents would make their passes and manage to steal, sometimes he also stole the ball by making a Double team on his opponents.

When the game was over Jake had made another Triple Double and his team had won well again, Coach Mike was very pleased with that, Harrison was also regaining his game pace and would be 100 percent in the state championship.

Eric also always took great pictures at Jake's games, even though he is getting used to watching NBA games wherein several games he made several incredible plays, he was not the only one who followed these plays, often the newspapers published the same photos in their newspapers.

That's why Eric missed Middle School and high school games because many of those games went unnoticed by most of the other reporters and he felt he was finding a hidden treasure when he took these pictures.

Eric long ago realized that if he watched the games of Jake had great chances to see this kind of play many times, in addition, it was much easier to get a good interview with young people of that age.

So when Eric learned that Jake was two years out of play he was outraged, he sometimes imagined when watching NBA games when he would see Jake playing on that court and when he came back he discovered that some coach who did not understand basketball nearly spoiled his future.

So Eric was happy to be able to help Jake this time, in addition, Jake was now more favorable to Eric and so it was easier for him as a reporter to get an exclusive interview both now and in the future when Jake was an NBA player, so Eric was the one who felt lucky.

After the game ended Jake returned home to tell his mother about the victory as always, Jake was happy that the cell phone was getting more and more active at that time so he could buy one.

Jake was very pleased with many things after returning to the past and many things in his life were much better than before, but the fact that he could not get his computer to access the internet was something difficult to get used to Jake, soon that time would return.
