Chapter 47 - Misunderstanding

What was she doing here!?

Amy's heart sank into her stomach as she recounted his words in her head. He had only muttered those words under his breath, but she didn't miss it.

Did he not want her here? Did he really just aviod her, without even sparing a glance at her? Was she that awful, that he couldn't even respond back to her? Then why had he invited her?

Amy turned to watch him walking towards the entrance of the hall with a sad face. Something in her told her there was a misunderstanding, but she didn't want to buy into that silly excuse. She felt crushed and his words were messing with her head. She didn't like the feelings that were building up in her, maybe she shouldn't have come.

She felt a storm of anger brewing inside of her. She was beginning to her regret all her efforts towards getting his attention....she shouldn't have done all this. But the more she got vexed by Blake's actions, the more she hated herself for even letting him have such effect on her.

She wanted to leave right away. There was absolutely no reason for staying there.

"What are you both doing here?" Blake asked Hillary with disgust hinting in his voice and eyes, as he looked from Hillary to the man standing beside her.

"That's no way to talk to your mother" Hillary chided with a smile not quite reaching her eyes, while Blake scoffed in disbelief. Mother?, who was she kidding?

Blake looked from Hillary to Kyle and a scowl formed on his face, as his balled hands into a fist.

"It's not what you think. I just bumped into her in the elevator" Kyle explained, he didn't want Blake to misunderstand the situation talk more of Jake.

"That's none of my business. You have to leave" He said with a straight face, his anger was evident in his eyes, as they flashed red in anger.

"I want to see Jake please" Kyle pleaded. Blake snorted and looked at him incredulously. He really had some guts showing up here and even wanting to see Jake. He must have a death wish.

"Just leave! I won't repeat myself again" Blake said angrily.

"Blake..."

"You don't have a right to call my name" He said interrupting Hillary. The sight of this woman repulsed him greatly. He still hasn't forgotten what she had done to their family. Why had she returned back anyway?

"And don't show your face to my brother ever again" He warned, staring coldly at Kyle just before he walked away.

"Still as feisty as ever. He didn't let me wish him a happy birthday" Hillary muttered before turning to look at Kyle, who was still standing there staring at Blake's back.

"There's no need hanging over this. They'll get to forgive you someday" Hillary said to Kyle.

"Do you want to get out of here?" Hillary asked with a small smile.

"I think i'll pass" Kyle replied indifferently before leaving her there.

Jade was beyond shock to have found Jake waiting outside the rest room. What is he doing there?

Jade was no sure where she had gone wrong. She thought when she asked for forgiveness from God after a wrong doing, she'll be forgiven. But why does it seem like she was been punished.

How was she going to get away from this? She leaned against the door as she tried to think of several ways of getting out of this mess.

Maybe she should call Amy and ask her to come help her ou, but she immediately dismissed the idea. That wasn't a right move.

She frowned when she suddenly realized she was missing something. She looked at her hands and at the sinks in the restroom. She was sure she had her purse a while ago.

Her eyes widen in shock, when she realized she had dropped it by the door.

Shit?! She cussed out loud. She couldn't call Amy or Lair even if she chose to.

It seems there was only one way out of this, and that was tackling this matter immediately. She took in breaths and braced herself before turning on the door knob.

Jake lifted his head when he heard the door open. 'Finally' He said in his mind.

He looked at her intensely as she stood in front of the door. He looked at her from head to toes. Her little black gown revealed a reasonable amount of her smooth fair thighs, and her lips were glossy, and every inch of him wanted to take a taste of that lips of hers. He envisioned himself snaking his hand around her svelt waist. He wanted to take her right there.

It was like he couldn't control himself when ever she was within sight. He didn't know why this was happening to him.

Jade was becoming uncomfortable with his intense gaze on her. She subconsciously took a step back when Jake took a step towards her.

'What's with that look in his eyes? And why is he coming closer?' Jade asked herself alarmingly.
