One More Night

This is the night that Jake thought it was just an ordinary evening which he always did sing at the Moonlight Bar. He did not expect it to happen next. This is an unforgettable night for him, the beginning of his destiny.

“People say that I’m a fool,

Well, I don’t know.

At least I found out

What it takes to be strong.

I was dreaming all day long

A drifting cloud,

With eyes wide open

I would choose not to see…”

In one corner of the bar there was Nicole and Jane drinking; Nicole was upset when Raymond refused her; she never thought that he doesn’t feel anything for her.

She and Raymond were together almost every day, he’s kind, he’s sweet, he always made her happy and she was always taken care of, so she thought that their feelings are mutual. She never expected to hear those words from him, that . . .

“You are just my sister!!! Is he stupid? He only considers me as his sister? Eh, so why is he holding my hand every time we are together, huh?” Drunken Nicole said while drinking the wine.

“That’s enough Nicole, you’re drunk! I will be scolded for that, when your Mom finds out you drank!” Jane stopped her from drinking.

“I do not care!” Then she drank it again in a beer bottle.

“Do you know what is more painful? I am the one who made the confession, I was so stupid! I should not have told him my feelings! Rrrhhh! He’s a bastard! I hate him!! He just made me hope!!!” Nicole said angrily.

“That’s enough Nicole, let’s go home, it’s late.” Jane invited Nicole to go home, but she was still not content and satisfied with her sentiment sitting in their chair.

She noticed the man singing on the stage, she watched the man singing carefully.

He was tall, handsome, wearing a black leather jacket and gray shirt underneath, wearing black ripped jeans and sunglasses.

‘Wait, why is he wearing sunglasses?’ she asked in astonishment in Nicole’s mind.

“Day after day,

Leaving the past behind.

Coming to terms with

Stitches and burns,

And learning to fly again…

Now I don’t want to see you anymore!

Don’t wanna be the one to play your game,

Not even if you smile the sweetest smile,

Not even if you beg me darling, please.”

Nicole emptied the entire bottle of beer and suddenly stood up and walked to the stage. Jane was surprised when Nicole suddenly stood up.

“Hey, where are you going? Come back here.” Jane stopped Nicole, but she just kept walking.

She held Nicole in the arm, but she refused to be held.

“Nicole, come on, where are you going?”

Until Nicole reached in front of the stage, Jake noticed the drunken woman approaching him, but he just continued his song, while staring at the woman standing in front of him.

“Now, I don’t want to see you anymore!

Don’t wanna be the one to play your game.”

Nicole suddenly stepped on the stage and approached the man singing.

“Not even if you smile the sweetest smile –”

Jake finally stopped singing when he saw the woman standing in front of him, and the band also stopped playing. He thought it was just one of his admirers or fans. He looked closely at the drunken woman who could not even stand up still.

She was wearing a loose black shirt and jeans, her hair was long, white skin and with a simple beauty.

She even stepped closer to him before speaking.

“Hey, you! Why are you still wearing sunglasses! It’s already night! Stupid! There’s no sunlight! Remove it now!” Then she suddenly removed Jake’s sunglasses.

Nicole and Jane were surprised to see who the man in front of them was.

“Wait, I think I know you; I think I saw you somewhere.” drunk Nicole said while pointing finger at Jake.

“Oh, really?” Jake nodded.

Jane also went to the stage and pulled her friend.

“Nicole let’s go, it’s so embarrassing.” Jane whispered to Nicole as she tried to pull her, but Nicole did not want to go.

“Let me go, I have more things to say!” and suddenly she pulled her hand away and turned back again to the handsome man.

“Hey you! I know you, that such a face deceives women!” said Nicole loudly.

“What?!!!” Jake asked in surprise.

“You handsome men always bring false hope to women, then when they fall in love with you, you will leave! You are so bad! You are shameless!” Nicole shouted angrily.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, she’s drunk. What are you doing Nicole, stop it!” Jane said emphatically, but Nicole still did not listen, she continued to speak hurtfully.

“Handsome people like you, should be buried alive or thrown into hell!” Nicole said angrily as she pointed Jake in the chest.

Jake did not say anything, but just shook his head at what the drunken woman was saying.

“Come on Nicole!!!” Jane shouted, as she tried to hold Nicole by the arm, but Nicole went wild.

“No, I will get revenge on this idiot!”

After Nicole said this, she suddenly grabbed the man’s leather jacket and pulled it closer to her face, Jake bowed to the woman’s sudden action and at that moment their lips pressed together.

Jane was shocked by what Nicole did, she was dumbfounded and even the people at the bar, and she could not believe that Nicole would do it.

“Oh no… is my friend going crazy?” Jane said dumbfounded, as she watched Jake and Nicole kiss.

Jake smiled and responded to Nicole’s kisses, after a while she slowly stopped, stared into his eyes and suddenly released him and stepped back and then walked away from him.

“Let’s go!” she whispered to Jane as she was stunned, Jane immediately followed her out of the bar.

Jake was left shaking his head, as he watched Nicole out of the bar; he never thought he would meet that kind of woman tonight.

Jake’s band mates and audiences screamed because of what happened.

“Yey, Jake has a girlfriend!” one of his band mates shouted.

“Yey, nice shot!” Henry shouted, his drummer friend.

“Tssk! She’s not my girlfriend!” Jake just laughed at their jokes, he asked for a break before continuing to sing.

Meanwhile, while inside the car, Jane talked to Nicole.

“Nicole, why did you do that?” Jane asked.

“Which one?” she innocently asked, while struggling to resist drowsiness.

“The one that you did at the bar earlier, why did you kiss Jake?” Jane asked.

“Uhhmm.”

But Nicole did not answer and she finally fell asleep, leaning on Jane’s shoulder.

“Nicole, hey… tsk!”

Jane just shook her head and sighed loudly.

The next day at noon when Nicole woke up, she slowly stretched her arms while lying on the bed. At the same time, Jane entered the room and approached her.

“It’s good that you woke up!” said Jane as she sighed.

“Why what time is it?” Nicole asked sleepily as she sat on the bed.

“It’s noon, dear Queen! It will be twelve o’clock in the afternoon.” said Jane and sat on the edge of the bed.

“Tssk! It’s noon. Aaahhh, my headache.” Nicole complained of a headache.

“Your head will hurt even more, when you remember what you did last night.” Jane said while smiling at her.

“Why, what did I do last night?” Nicole asked her while massaging her head.

Jane then took the cell phone from her pocket and handed it to Nicole.

“Here, look at your craziness!” said Jane and Nicole quickly looked at the cell phone.

She saw the video of her talking to Jake angrily and cursed him, and the last thing that shocked her was that she kissed Jake.

Nicole was shocked by what she saw and the phone fell on the bed. She did not know how she would react and feel what she did. She gasped in surprise at what she saw on the phone.

“Omgee!!! I’m dead!!!” crying Nicole said in embarrassment and at what she had done.

“So now, have you realized what you did last night?” Jane said to her as she crossed her arms.

“Omgeee!!! Why didn’t you stop me?!” she shouted at Jane.

“How many times have I stopped you, if you only knew? I don’t know what went through your mind and you suddenly cursed Jake! And worst, you kissed him, in front of all the people inside the bar! You not ashamed, you stupid girl!!” Simultaneously pulled Nicole’s hair.

“Aaarrhh, that’s enough! Stop it! I don’t know… That Raymond’s fault! Grrhhh! I hate him! I don’t want to drink again. Jane, what should I do?” cried Nicole.

“You are crazy! Of all people, Jake is the one you chose to beat! You know he was known at our school, people will definitely gossip about you! Fortunately, today is a holiday, no class, by any chance, maybe a week – no, you will be absent for a month for what you did.” said Jane.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Tssk, it’s Jake, that’s why, his face was so familiar last night.” she said sadly.

“The good thing you can do is apologize to him for what you have said and did!” said Jane.

“I don’t want to, I’m embarrassed.” Nicole said, frowning.

“Well, just pray that Jake doesn’t chase you.” She smiled teasingly at Nicole.

“Huh, I’m not afraid of him! Besides, the Powerpuff Girls are ready to defend me!” Nicole boasted.

“Okay, it’s up to you.”

Then Jane got up and left the room, while Nicole went straight to the bathroom to wash and brush her teeth. While brushing her teeth, she remembered the scene last night, as she kissed Jake.

“Tssk! Erased! Erased! Erased!” she said firmly to herself.

Grinning after she rinsed, again she remembered Jake’s smooth face, while his lovely eyes staring at her, as he kissed her.

“Wait… he also kissed me last night.”

She whispered and she slowly touched her lips, while looking in the mirror. It seemed as if that night had returned, she could clearly see Jake’s puffy eyes and it also gradually closed his eyes as he kissed her, she suddenly felt nervous and touched her heart.

“Nicole! Aren’t you done there yet? We will eat lunch.” Jane shouted outside the door.

Her imagination was interrupted by Jane’s loud knock on the bathroom door. Then she went out the door and ate.
