Chapter 180 - A Fluttering Gift

"Congratulations on your graduation guys!" Sam lovingly says while giving the flower to Jennie.

The day the I've been waiting was finally comes. I am so happy that I've reached my partial dream.. And that is too graduate.. I was looking forward to chase my dream to become a developer.

"Congratulations, babe.." Sam hugged me and gave me the flower.

"Thank you..."

I was also happy that my friends really gathered to go here and they even made some effort to temporarily leave their works just to come here.

I really appreciated it so much.

"Finally. You're now a grown up woman, we are so proud of you." Jessy says and Gia was beside her.

"I wouldn't reached this without your help guys," I walked over them and hugged them.

I don't know but I suddenly felt emotional for remembering all the sacrifices that they did to me. I always grateful to them and I promise to repay them soon.

"Then, does it mean.." I felt Jacob's arm around my shoulder. "Raine can join us for drinks now?"

What is he saying? I don't even thinking about it.

"Of course! She's graduated now. She'll soon find a work and a boyfriend. She can find someone by hanging out on the bar," Jennie says, giggling like a crazy woman.

"T-that will never happen!" Jacob pulled his arms rashly.

"Why bro? Isn't Raine a single? I thought she was..?" Harry seemed confused, brushing his chin.

We heard a loud laughs from our friends. Jennie was already blushing and I don't know what makes her like that.

"She would never find a boyfriend while I'm still here!" Jacob says.

"Why? Are you her father?" Marco teases.

"It's not funny Marco,"

"Well, I'm not joking." Marco faked a flirt laugh.

Jacob rolled his eyes and returned to my side. He won't really change, he's always childish.

"Don't tell me..you still like Raine?" Jessy interjects, wearing her smirk.

"Are you, Jacob?" Gia added.

Oh god. Why would they tease him in this kind of situation? I feel more embarrassed.

When I turned to Jacob, he's already blushing. I chuckled a bit before shaking my head. He's so cute.

"Raine's mother is coming here. This is your chance to prove yourself, bro," Harry bumped his arm.

I wanna laugh again when I saw his reaction. Damn. He was stunned like a freakin' statue. I didn't know that my mom has that kind of effect on him.

"Look at him, did you became an ice?" Harry teased and feel his cheeks.

I just laughed before walking towards my mom. She haven't gone here yet, but she's already tearing. I didn't want to cry though.

"Congratulations, sweetie.." She kissed my cheeks before hugging me.

Ah, okay. My mom is an exception.

Her embrace feels so warm which made my eyes watered. Damn, I could feel that she's proud of me.

"For you, sis.. We're so proud of you," Sebastian says and before I could say a thing, Drake and him immediately hugged me.

I chuckled and hugged them back. I missed these two, even if we're just half siblings I never once feel that we're not lacking of affection with each other. I'll always cherish my siblings until my last breath.

"What about me?"

I am more happy when I saw my big brother behind. He's smiling at me with those admiration in his eyes. Damn, I never thought that this guy would have a special place in my life.

He gave me a bouquet of flowers too and kissed my head. "You don't know how happy I am to see you growing like this.."

"I'm amazing right?"

"Mmm. You take after me," He smirked.

"Do you think so?"

I laughed when I saw Drake's cold stare at Pierre. He's jealous when he stare like that.

"I'm the best and you're amazing, so you took after me." Pierre patted my head.

"No, she didn't."

We all looked at Drake when he pulled my hand always from Pierre. Aw, my little brother is jealous..

I wanted to tell him that we're also alike in some ways but he's too focused on battling with stare at Pierre.

"Stop it, Drake. You're being too immature," Sebastian says.

But Drake only glared at him. Okay, they're both cold and all I could do right now is to laugh. Pierre don't even take it seriously since Drake's also his half brother.

"Come on, guys. Our friends prepared some party for us on the house." Jessy announced which made Drake pout.

"Come on, I'll give you some pizza later." Pierre said to him.

"No thanks,"

Drake was the one who leave first. We all just laughed together while watching my grumpy brother walking away. He's kind of different sometimes. Well, his personality suits his attitude right now.

"Your brother looked hotter when he's mad, Raine." Marco flirty says.

"He's cute right?"

I laughed once again before leaving the gymnasium. My head neck also felt stiffed as I carried these bunch of medals. Damn, I never thought I would also earned this awards.

"Let me carry it for you.."

Jacob took the medals from my neck and placed it around his hand. I feel like I can finally breathe fine, now that I don't have to carry it.

"You looked great wearing this but, let's took it for awhile. I didn't want to see you suffer," He chuckled before opening his car.

"I'm going to ride my brother's car," I raised a brow.

"He'll go with your mom and your brothers, Raine. I don't think you'll fit in there,"

Well, then I don't have a choice. I didn't also want to make my family feel uncomfortable riding it, so..

I just kept silent and immediately entered the shotgun seat. He's kind of gentleman, huh?

I opened the window and find my friends. They all have their own cars so I didn't have to worry about them.

"Where is the place guys?" I asked.

"Jacob knows it, he'll take you there." Jessy was the one who answered.

"Okay, see you then."

I waved at them before closing the window.

"Raine." My head turns to Jacob.

"Mmm?"

He sighed before unzipping his bag. He took it on the backseat and I'm confused when I saw him took out a small black box in it.

I can finally guess what he's going to do next..

And I'm pretty right. He opened the box in front of me. My eyes widened as soon as I saw what's inside it.

"I didn't know what to give to you so.."

When I turned to him, he's already blushing. He gave the box to me before scratching the tip of his nose. What a cutie.

"This is..so pretty, Jacob.."

I took out the silver bracelet inside the box and surprised with it's beautiful design.

It's very shiny and thin. I think it would definitely fit and would look good on my hand if I wear it. My heart also melts when I saw the initial of my name engraved on its tiny pendant.

Damn. This is my first time seeing this beautiful thing..

"I-if you don't like it. I can just change it.." He looked sad.

"No. I like it.."

I bit my lower lip and stared at the bracelet. It looks so expensive which made me feel bother a bit.

"But it looks expensive, Jacob. You didn't have to buy me this kind of thing.."

"Why? Do you think you can't wear it again just like the past gift that I gave you?"

There's a bitterness in his tone. I never thought that he's thinking of that way. I didn't wear what he gave me before because I didn't want to lose it. It's so precious to me that I can't even let it covered with dirt.

But I didn't have to say that to him..

"It's not like that.. I just think that--"

"Stop thinking, Raine. I bought that because I wanted to give it to you. So you should take it," He took the bracelet from me and held my wrist.

He gently placed the bracelet around my wrist and I just can't help but to watch him. He's too good-looking to be this head-over-heals on me.

"Stop staring or I'll assume that you're starting to like me now,"

I immediately looked away when he said that. I also fake a cough as he glanced at me. Damn. Why would he say that kind of sensitive words.

I heard his heavy sighed before he let go of my hand. "There. It looks good. I'm the best!"

I can't help but to look at it too. Oh my, I never thought that it would actually looked good on me!

"T-thank you.." I smiled.

"I wanted to see you wearing that everyday, okay?"

"Why?"

"Just because.." He shrugged.

"What if I didn't? What if I wanted to switch on another?"

"You can't." He glared at me. "I wanted all the people who would look on your hand that I gave you that bracelet.."

I laughed sarcastically. "What a show off,"

His eyes widened. Well, what's so good at showing something so precious to people? I didn't want them to admire it too. It must only be me.

"I-I'm not s-showing off! You brat--"

"They don't even know that you gave it to me." I added and secretly smirked.

His scowled made my ears clapped in happiness. Oh god. I just wanted to tease him always because I know that he would react like this.

And I don't think I won't ever last a day without seeing his adorable reaction. Damn. I hope he won't ever change. I swear, I would give my all just to protect this man too..

"I don't care if they don't know that I gave it to you. As long as you wear it, I'm good."

"Really?"

"But I'll be happier if you tell me that it made your heart flutter.."

He stared at me in a very affectionate manner. I didn't know but my heart suddenly beats fast with the way her stared at me.

I suddenly felt nervous. Oh my god.
