Chapter 89 - Meaning Of Fun

Jake observed the unpleasant look on her face, and for some reason he didn't like the fact that she was being unhappy. But what can he do, something inside of him is making him act this way, making him act selfish.

"Don't worry we'll be there soon" He told her.

About half an hour later they finally arrived at the exceptional game house that Jake so wanted to use. Jade had expected something out of the ordinary since they drove this far just to play here, but to her greatest dissappointment there was nothing unique about it. It was just another regular game house.

Jade would love to scold this rich brat, but she kept her cool. She really wanted to snap at him. This was only the first day and she already hates the whole thing.

Jake booked a VIP game room and they both settled in. Jade sets everything up and picks up the game console, handing one over to Jake who in turn stares at it like it was some foreign material

he was seeing for the first time.

Jade observed the awkward look on his face and asks, "You do know how to use that right?"

"I think I can manage" Jake replied still faking that look.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah"

Jade explained a thing or two about the game and Jake listened attentively, or more like he was focused on her moving lips, but he listened anyway. Nodding his head affirmatively to everything she says.

Soon they started the game and Jade realized how Jake sucks at handling the console. He hasn't even started yet he was already having a hard time controlling the characters.

Jade paused the game and turned to look at him, "are you really sure you've played a video game before?" Jade asked curiously, and to her utmost surprise Jake replied.

"No" Jade was dumbfounded with his reply. How was it that he wanted to learn one of the most hardest game on earth, when he hasn't held a console in his life. How possible was this?

Jake was enjoying every reaction coming out from this girl. From the way her brows crease when she's dazed or the way she fondles with her lower lips when she's fully concentrating on something. He couldn't help but stare at her lips while she continued looking at him completely stunned about the fact that he hasn't used a game console before.

Jade observed the change in his eyes and with the way he was now looking at her, she suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Is..something wrong?" Jade asked.

"Nope, I was just thinking if maybe we should extend the time stipulated for each day. That way I can get to learn from tscratch" He said seriously, when what he wanted to say was, "So I can see you more." Jake was really having a hard time controlling his thoughts with her just sitting beside him, doing nothing. But that was enough to mess his head up.

"Hmm" Jade signed. She thought about his words. Maybe this could be of benefit to her. She could up the hours so the 168 hours would be exhausted in no time.

"Mr Beau, can I ask a question?"

"Yeah" Jake replied leaning back on the sofa.

"Why are you interested in learning on how to play a game" Jade asked curiously. This has been the question on her mind. His reply would determine if truly he wanted to learn to play a game for real or maybe he was doing this to mess with her.

Jake looked at her intently like he was pondering on her question, so he could give the best reply. Because that's actually what he was doing.

"Recently I observed there has been some changes in my life. Like I feel I've been missing out on some things. I don't know why I started feeling this way, maybe it's because I have never tried doing exciting things for fun. All I do is sit through board meetings and learn how to make right decisions for my company and that's all the fun I know. So I thought about trying something new for a change. I see people laugh when they play games in general and I don't have anything fun going on for me. So I thought why not try it out. And who's best to teach me if not someone that knows what gaming is all about is all about. So miss Jade help me find something fun to do with my life. I might die without knowing what that word truly means" Jake said melancholically. Like he had just poured out his deepest soul out to her. Jade couldn't find any words to say to him. She was completely sold out this theatrics. Jade sighed bitterly in her heart. It seems being rich also comes with it's own challenges, maybe even worse than they the poor folks could ever have.

"Alright. Let's start with something simpler" was Jade's reply. Somewhere in her heart she felt pity for Jake. She thought just maybe his life wasn't as perfect as she thought or as others may think.

Jade discarded the thoughts of Jake having an inner motive and somehow felt a bit relaxed, knowing he wasn't actually trying to get between her legs again or emotionally torture her with their last entanglement. It was a relief knowing he had only picked her because she works with a gaming company and was a suitable candidate for teaching him.

Since he has done her a favor by helping her land her new job, she'd heartily return the favor by teaching him, till he knows what having fun is.
