Chapter 151 - Miss Him?

It's been days since Jade last saw Jake. Since the day he dropped her off at Amy's place, she hasn't seen him or gotten a call from him. Not that he usually called, but it was unlike him not have shown his face or played one of his antics.

Don't get her wrong, she was not missing the lies.

Jade didn't know why, but she was beginning to feel uncomfortable. It was more like her eyes were longing to see his face or rather she was missing those funny moments with him.

Jade sat on her desk staring at the desktop in front of her, but her mind was anywhere else but there. She didn't know if she should call him. Maybe she should, of maybe she shouldn't....she didn't know.

She scratched on her head as she kept trying to come with a decision. But if she calls him what would she say? That she missed him (like hell she didn't)...or ask why she hasn't seen him in days.

What if he's busy? Jade you've got to take a chill pill. Don't forget he's a CEO of a mutinational conglomerate. He might just be busy' She tried convincing herself with the ten thousand reasons why she couldn't call him.

But what if something happened to him? He might be sick you know? Stress from work and all.

What kind of friend would she be if she couldn't call to check up on her friends. This past few days she has been spending a lot of time with Amy and Lair since the search for Michael began, and that has completely occupied her mind till she suddenly remembered she also had another friend Jake Beau. And she couldn't help the feeling of wanting to call him.

Jade sighed as she picked up her phone and scrollled through her contact list to find Jake's number. She gave it a long hard stare before finally dialling his number.

With every ring, she felt her thump and her hand sweat, so much that she was almost tempted to end the call before he could answer it.

Her heart continued to increase in pace when she thought about what to say when he asks her why she had called.

Just as she was about picking the call, she heard his voice which left her startled.

"Hello" Came Jake's voice from over the phone.

"H..hi" Jade stutterred the moment she heard his deep and rich voice. It suddenly made her remember his face when he talked. There was a way his mouth moved when he spoke.

"I'm surprised you called" Jake said with a happy smile on his face. He was stunned when he saw it was Jade calling. He was having a meeting in his office when his phone started ringing. He had been nonchalant towards looking at his phone, but his eyes suddenly caught the name of the caller and he instantly dismissed the meeting to be adjourned for later. A smile broke on his face when he saw it was Jade calling him.

"I..i"

"You were just calling to check up on me right?" Jake said wriggling his brows playfully, as his cheek flushed the moment he said that. It would be nice if Jade did that. He couldn't help the way he was feeling just by hearing Jade's voice.

"I'm sorry if I disturbed you. You should go back to..."

"What? Who said you're disturbing me, if anything, I'm grateful for this lovely distraction" He said hurriedly, making Jade's lips twitch. She could hear the excitement in his voice.

"Okay. So how's work?" Jade asked.

"Work? Work is fine. Nothing special going on, just the same old thing. What about you?" Jake said as he lolled back in his seat. If only that was true. Work has been tough lately, because this past few days he had so many angry shareholders and board members to pacify. He couldn't tell what was going on, but the work load kept increasing.

"Work is good too" Jade replied.

"So tell me why you called? You missed hanging out with me didn't you?" Jake teased her, as he smiled to himself.

"Uhh?" She didn't know how to respond to that. Was she missing him? Hell no!

Even if she did, would she be bold enough to tell him that she did miss him? Miss his jokes, his talks, the way he does things or the way he smiled that made him look more beautiful than the most girls out there?

Jade Peterson! She called in her head. She has been seeing alot of Jake's beauty recently, most especially when they hanged out.

'Whats wrong with you?" She chided herself, closing her eyes due to the embarrassment she was feeling due to her own thoughts.

"I know I'm a right company to have. So I'm sure you miss going out with me. Want to play a game tonight? I'm ready to get your ass whooped"

Jade closed her eyes tightly. How did she not know that he was this conceited. Jade went silent and didn't reply.

"What you're running away, because you know I'm going to beat you and get my revenge? Someone is scared" Jake teased her more.

"I'm not scared. I can beat you again and even ten times more" Jade declared forcefully, making Jake's lips curl up.

"Someone is being cocky"He scoffed.

"I'm not being cocky, it's just a fact and you know it" Jade replied confidently.

"I alright Jadey, no need to bite my ears off, you've got yourself a game tonight." Jake announced. God, how he has missed her. He has been refraining himself from calling her, he didn't want to impose too much on her, coupled with the fact that he has been busy, but it seems even the heavens knew he missed her, and they had prompted her to call him first.

"Alright" There was the sort of giddiness that was about bubbling inside of Jade. She was truly looking forward towards meeting Jake tonight. She didn't know if it was because of the game which she so wanted to beat him at, or if it was because it has been a while since she last saw him.

"So you're sure you didn't miss your friend because I'm sure I missed mine" Jake teased one more time.

"As the CEO of a multinational company, you have a lot of time on your hand"

"Says the busy woman who called me at work. Tch, what a friend."

"That's why I'm hanging up. It was nice talking to you" Jade said.

"See you tonight Jadey" Jake replied with a happy smile etched on his face.

Now all he wanted was the day to end fast.
