Chapter 181 - A Good Way To Say Goodbye

This was going to be their first date, and she didn't want to go looking so haggered and dejected.

First dates required alot of preparations and stuff. So why was Jake bring up an imprompt one?

Jake noticed the look on her face and from the question she had asked, he finally understood her worries.

"No not today" He replied knowing what was on her mind.

"During the weekend" He told her.

Weekend was only a day away. "Okay" She nodded with a shy and happy smile on her face, as she anticipated going out on a date with Jake.

She couldn't wait!!

Jade's smile began to dwindle when they slowly approached her house. She didn't want the night to end. She wanted more time with him...a little more time.

Her countenance changed when they finally approached her house. A sad pout subconsciously formed on her face, without her knowing it.

Jake turned off the ignition before looking at her. He frowned when he noticed the look on her face.

"What's wrong?" He asked confusedly. Hope he hasn't done anything wrong to offend her. They were both smiling a while ago so why the change of look?

"Nothing" Jade shook her head as she answered, while avoiding his gaze. She couldn't tell him she was missing him already even though he was still there. She didn't want to appear clingy.

"Then why do you look like that?" He said raising her chin up with his hand.

"It's nothing I'm fine" She lied, as she tried to wipe whatever sad look that was probably etched on her face.

"Are you missing me already?" Jake decided to tease her when it appeared she wasn't going to tell him what was on her mind, not knowing that was the actual case and Jade was too embarrassed to say so. Jade's cheeks heat up again and she lowered her head due to embarrassment. Was she that obvious?

She bit her lips as she tried to hide her embarrassed look knowing Jake had guessed right.

"Who's missing you?" She asked pointedly, making Jake fake a frown.

"You're not going to miss me?" He knew it was too soon to ask that but he couldn't help it.

Jade didn't reply, but she shook her head, when actually her heart was screaming a big YES.

Jake flicked her head lightly.

"Ouch" Jade glared at him, as she rubbed on the tingling spot.

"That's definitely not a good thing to say to your boyfriend who's madly in love with you" He chatised with a sweet smile. Jade couldn't help but blush again. Her face was crimson red at the moment. She like the word 'madly in love'.

Jake noticed the blush on her face and sighed, "And you blush nicely too" He said in a low sweet voice making Jade's heart to melt with sweetness.

Damn this playboy!

Of all people to fall in love with, it just had to be this crazy casanova.

Okay that was it. She was going to go in now, before she embarrasses herself more with all these endless blushes.

Jake looked out the window to her door post. He was sure her mother was probably waiting for her, since they had both taken so long. He sighed at the thought of letting Jade go.

A wave of silence swept through the car as they both reluntanctly pondered on how to say good night, and as if on cue, Jade's phone rang. She rummaged through her bag to see it was her mother calling. She hurriedly picked up the call knowing how worried her mother must be.

"Jade..."

"I'm outside, I'm coming in" She interjected her mother's speech.

"Okay" Grace replied before ending the call.

Jade slipped back her phone into her purse, and looked back at Jake who had a sulky look on his face.

She wanted to say something but Jake spoke up first. " Comeon you have to go in now. I don't want to give your mom a bad opinion about me" He said pulling a small smile across his face.

"Okay" Jade nodded.

"Good night" Jake said in the most smallest and saddest voice he could muster.

"Good night" She replied in a longing tone. She gave Jake one last look before stepping out of the car.

Jade had only walked around the car when Jake's voice came from behind her. She saw him walking out of the car and approached her. She looked expectant waiting to hear what he had to say, but Jake surprised her by pulling her in for a hug.

"As my girlfriend, you should learn how to wish your boyfriend a proper good night" He said behind her ears. His voice sending tingling waves in to her ears.

He slowly pulled away and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Good night" He whispered softly, while Jade nodded. She glanced at his face longingly before turning around to walk into the house.

Jake watched her till she arrived the door, he waved at her and she waved back with a smile on her face before opening the door and walking into the house.

Jake smiled to himself and hopped into his car.

...

Jade could feel the inquisitive pair of eyes staring at her, she was smiling so brighty and her cheeks looked very red like she has been laughing or like she has been slapped real hard. Jade looked at them and sauntered over to them with a happy face, she couldn't hide her smile. 

"Good evening to my mother" She greeted in a cheery tone and placed a kiss on Grace's cheek, completely startling the woman.

"And my sweet little brother" She chirped, as she ruffled his hair.

"Not my hair" Kevin snapped making Jade giggle before hopping to her room like a high school girl.

Grace and Kevin exchanged a confused look and muttered at same time.

"Strange"

....
