Chapter 29 - Mr Dreamy

Jade and Amy arrived the popular Eddy's spot, which made the most amazing Pizza in the whole city. Eddy's spot was one of most popular Mexican restaurant that serves the tastiest Mexican delicacies in the city.

Jade inhaled the delicious aroma of different delicacies wafting through the restaurant. She didn't pass for a gourmet but she loved the ideology of a tasty and well plated meal.

They both took their seats at one of the tables at the far end of the restaurant, close to the glass windows. It was Jade's favorite sitting spot whenever she came to the restaurant. She hasn't visited this place in a while, since Cale never had the stomach for spicy food, she had deprived herself of eating here.

One of the plenty sacrifices she made that solidified how foolish she had been.

Speaking of sacrifices, her mind wandered back to the man she had unexpectedly encountered for the third time. Something in her soul almost felt dampened but she quickly composed herself when a waiter approached them with a menu.

"So what are you ordering?" Jade asked Amy as she received the menu from the waiter.

"Just get me whatever you're eating" Amy said distractedly as she scrolled through her phone without glancing at Jade.

"Two Fried chicken quesidila, Nachos, banana split and a meat lover's pizza to go. Thank you" Jade said with a small smile. She glanced back at Amy who was grinning to herself as she continued to scroll through her phone.

Jade was a bit curious. She stretched her neck to take a peep at whatever Amy was grinning at.

"Amy walker! Are you trying to become a pervert?" Jade suddenly asked with raised brows while Amy jerked as she hurriedly put away her phone, but she wasn't fast enough for Jade not to have seen it.

"What do you mean by I'm becoming a pervert?" Amy asked with a mock frown, while Jade rolled her eyes.

"Did you think I didn't see you trying to kiss that picture right now?" Jade asked shooting her a look that said "let me hear you deny that'.

"I wasn't" Amy snapped at her as she felt a bit flustered.

"That's the same picture you were drooling over the other day right?" Jade asked again not minding Amy's embarrassed look, making Amy glare at her slightly. She sighed wearily when she saw Jade's determined look. It didn't look like Jade was going to let her be.

"I wasn't drooling over his picture neither did I try to kiss him" She replied defensively, piqueing Jade's interest even more.

"Ya right!" Jade exclaimed sarcastiscally. "Tell me you weren't trying to lick your screen, if I hadn't said something to stop you"

"Jeez Jade, would you stop" Amy said in a hushed tone as she eyed Jade.

"No I won't. Because he is a really handsome man and I can tell you have a thing for him" Jade said with a tone of finality. She cocked her brows at Amy in a way that dared her to refute.

"I don't have a 'thing' for him" Amy refuted, emphasizing on the word 'thing'.

"But you know you do....and I know that also. Else you wouldn't keep his picture in your phone. And you'd definitely won't grin sheepishly at it like a high school girl, if you don't have a thing on him" Jade said thoughtfully making Amy stare at her quietly. Of course Amy was her best friend, thus it was expected of her to know her best.

Amy has never been the one to keep a guy's picture in her phone, because she fit into the class of a mini workaholic. She had never had the time....or rather, she had never allowed herself to be distracted by a man. But now it seems she was letting herself.

"So What's his name?" Jade asked with a curious smile. They paused when the waiter returned with their orders.

"Thank you" They both said simultaneously.

Jade gave Amy a questioning look when she didn't reply her question after the waiter left.

"Bla...ke Beau" Amy answered stutteringly as her cheeks began to color. Calling his name was enough to make her blush.

Jade looked at her as her brain tried to decipher the name she had just heard. It sounded familiar...She was sure she had heard it before.

Jade gasped when a light bulb flicked in her head. "Isn't that your boss? The boss you've always mentioned about how good looking he was?" Jade asked in surprise while Amy slowly bobbed her head up and down.

"Is that Mr dreamy? He's really that handsome? Can I have a look?" Jade asked again. She couldn't believe Amy was still hooked on the same guy after a long time. She had thought Amy had forgotten about him and zoned back to her workalholic realm.

Amy hurriedly pulled out her phone and passed it over to Jade, who quickly took it and looked at the handsome picture of Blake on her friend's phone.

"Who would have thought Mr dreamy was this...dreamy...I mean cute. Amy I like him already. He looks like a good guy" Jade said firmly after a quick look at Blake's picture

"You like him because he's a good guy or because he's good looking?" Amy asked cocking her brow. Was it not to everyone's knowledge that Jade had a thing for handsome guys.

"Well...all I'm trying to say is." She let her words trail off. "Who'd date an ugly guy?" Jade asked when she couldn't come up with a tangible reason.

"You" Amy said looking at Jade defiantly.

"Come on you don't have to bring Cale into this issue right now. See my decision to date Cale as youthful exuberance. And just so you know, Cale wasn't ugly, you just didn't like him" Jade said defensively.

Amy was surprised by Jade's response. She had thought Jade might avoid taking Cale's name in her mouth, but she had just surprisingly talked about him with nonchalance. Amy smiled in her mind, when she saw how quick her friend was moving on.

"You still haven't told me about what happened" Amy said suddenly. She still didn't know why Jade had broken up with Cale, but her main purpose of asking was to divert Jade's attention to something else. She wasn't really comfortable talking about her dreamy man.

But Jade caught on her trick, "Don't worry Amy, I'll tell you about it. But now, let's talk about you"

"So do you really like him?" Jade asked curiously.
