Chapter 26 – Officially Together
After that long kiss, Jake slowly stopped and he stared at Nicole in her eyes and asked.
“So now, what have you decided?” Jake asked her.
Nicole took a deep breath before answering, “Okay go ahead.”
“What do you mean?” Jake assured.
“Yes, I love you too.” Nicole answered weakly.
Jake smiled and hugged her tightly. Jake is very happy because his relationship with Nicole has officially become and she has already answered him. He thinks of introducing Nicole to his mother when she visits there.
Nicole did not think twice and she did not hesitate to answer Jake that night, because they both felt the same way, so why would she hold back. All she had to worry about was what other people and her parents would say when she introduced Jake to them.
After a happy night, Nicole could barely sleep, she could still feel Jake’s kiss on her lips, her boyfriend, just sleeping on the top of the bed. She took a deep breath and stroked her lips, as if the scene of Jake kissing her stayed in her mind and could not be erased.
Jake felt that Nicole was still awake because she was still moving.
“Hey, still awake?” Jake asked.
“Uhm, I can’t sleep.” Nicole replied.
“Go to sleep, we will come early tomorrow.” Said Jake.
“Yes, I try to sleep, but I cannot sleep.” Nicole replied while scratching her head so hard.
“Do you want me to go down there?” Jake asked.
Nicole was surprised to hear it, “No! Do not go down.”
But Jake was playful, and he went downstairs and smiled at Nicole.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“I’ll just lie beside you, so you can sleep.” Jake said, smiling as he winked at Nicole.
“No, stay away! Come back there!” Nicole commanded him.
Jake sat on Nicole’s bed, “Huh, don’t you want me to put you to sleep?” Jake asked as she smiled at her.
She knew Jake was planning something else, so she forced him back up.
“No way! You go back up there in your bed! Come back there now!” Nicole commanded and at the same time she pushed Jake to make him stand up.
“Oh, all right, I’ll be back. But if you can’t sleep yet, just call me and I will put you to sleep.” Said Jake while smiling.
“No thanks go upstairs, I’ll go to sleep now.” after Nicole said she went back to bed and Jake went up as well.
Nicole then forced herself to close her eyes and go to sleep.
The next day she and Jake went to school together while holding hands, the students looked at them and couldn’t believe that Jake had a girlfriend already.
As they walked, Jake whispered to her, “Don’t mind them.”
“Okay.” she said briefly.
Then Jake took her to their classroom, Jane was surprised to see the two of them holding hands.
“Wait, what does that mean, are you dating?” Jane assured while smiling.
Jake replied, “Yes!” smiling Jake said.
“Wow, congrats!” said Jane.
“Thanks! All right, I’ll just pass by later at break time.” Goodbye Jake.
“Ah, okay.” Nicole nodded.
Jake quickly kissed her on the cheek, before finally leaving.
“How sweet… early in the morning I was bitten by the ants now.” Jane teases.
“Tssk, let’s go inside.” Smiling Nicole said.
Then they went inside. Some of their classmates looked at them and whispered, because of what they saw. Jane, on the other hand, noticed that Amy looked at them badly and even teased her.
Jane whispered to her.
“Nicole, look at Amy, she’s looking bad at you, do you want me to pull those eyes off, to go blind?” disgusted Jane said.
“Tssk, let her go.” Nicole’s rebuke.
“Maybe she is envious of you! Wait, isn’t Tim flirting with her? Why does she not want to answer him yet?” Jane thought.
“Well, she doesn’t want to answer Tim because maybe she wants Jake?” Jane said in her conclusion.
“What?! You mean she likes Jake instead of Tim?” Nicole wondered.
“Because, I noticed her blood is warm to you. I feel she is jealous of you, because Jake likes you and not her.” Said Jane.
“Well, if she really likes Jake, she’s sorry.” Nicole said, smiling as she straightened her hair.
“That’s my girl!” Jane said cheerfully.
After their class Jake picked her up again and with Henry and Stevent. They were surprised to see the three handsome men outside their room and talking happily. Jake approached them, when he saw them coming out of the room.
“Let’s go!” smiling Jake said to Nicole.
“Okay.” Nicole nodded.
Then at once they went to the canteen. When they arrived at the canteen they saw Tim lined up at the counter, they approached him.
Nicole and Jane were surprised that he was lined up, because they often did not line up and went straight to the front.
“Hi Nicole! There I am already in line, so you have nothing to say that we are entering the queue.” Tim said smiling and winked at her at the same time.
“How is that, we will insert?” Nicole asked.
“That’s okay, I already lined you up. Tell me what you want to eat and so you can find a vacant seat.” Said Tim.
“Ah, okay. Thanks!” said Nicole.
Then they said what they wanted to eat, Jake did not allow them to payand Jake said that he would pay for what they ate.
Then they look for an empty table for them. Nicole was surprised at Jane because she separated from her and she was not beside her.
“Oh, why are you there? Come here, sit beside me.” Said Nicole.
“Don’t, that’s where your boyfriend sits.” Jane said, smiling.
“Tssk, you can have a boyfriend. Do not be noisy.” Nicole scolded her.
“It’s true, and it’s obvious so don’t deny it.” Jane told her.
Nicole looked around and the other students were still looking at them and gossiping.
“Huh, I’m not used to this, they look at us.” Nicole said incredulously.
“Get used to it, because Jake will deliver and pick you up every day at breaktime.” Said Jane.
“Jane, why didn’t Tim invite Amy, I thought he was flirting with her?” Nicole asked.
“I also don’t know, maybe Amy has already criticized him.” Said Jane.
“Huh, poor Tim.” said Nicole.
“Well, that’s really how life is.” Said Jane.
Soon after, Jake and his friends arrived with food. They noticed they had ordered a lot of food.
“Oh, is there a birthday? Why did you buy so much food ” Jane asked in astonishment.
“Well, Jake just had a celebration.” Stevent patted Jake on the shoulder while smiling.
Jane gets it, Stevent means Jake’s free food because of Nicole’s answer.
“Ah, I already know what you mean. That’s right, thank you Jake!” Jane winked at him at the same time.
“Okay, all right, just eat.” Jake said while smiling.
“Thank you Jake.” Nicole said softly while smiling.
“You’re welcome.” Jake responded to her and he also smiled.
Then they had fun talking and eating. They immediately relieved Jake’s group, it was nice to talk to them and be with them because they are jokers.
Until after they eat they still laugh because of their jokes.
Meanwhile, when Nicole and Jane returned to their class, she first played a game on her cellphone while waiting for their teacher.
A message from Blue Sniper pops up.
“I’m sorry, I was late for not being able to reach you last night.” Said Blue Sniper.
Nicole replied, “Okay, I was also late but still we did not meet.”
“What is that, are you playing again?” Jane asked her.
“Yes, I’m reading Blue Sniper messaged, it looks like he was late last night too.” Said Nicole.
“Ows, so if we had waited a little longer you might have met,” said Jane.
“Maybe.” Nicole’s short answer, and she saw Blue Sniper messaging again.
“Can we meet again? Set a time and place again.” Blue Sniper asked.
Nicole’s eyes widened at what she read.
“Oh, why do your eyes widen? What did he say to you?” Jane asked in astonishment.
She then showed Blue Sniper’s reply.
“What?! He wants to meet you again?” Jane asked.
Nicole nodded, “Yes.”
“Wait, don’t you already have a boyfriend? Why would you even meet him? What if would Jake be angry about that, what if he found out you were meeting someone else?” Said Jane.
“Haist, I will not meet him, I will think first.” Said Nicole.
She then replied to Blue Sniper.
“I’ll see when I can.” she replied to Blue Sniper.
“Okay then, I will wait for you.” Said Blue Sniper.
Nicole did not reply again because their teacher arrived.
After their class Jake picked her up again and ate outside. They ate at an Italian Restaurant just near the school. While eating Jake and her talked.
“How are you feeling?” Jake asked her.
“It’s okay.” Nicole’s short answer.
Jake held her hand before saying, “Ignore what they say to you, it will pass.”
“I just thought,” Why do you like me? Of all the other women out there, who are beautiful and rich, why don’t you choose them?” Nicole asked him seriously.
“Well, that’s also what I’m asking myself, why I fell in love with you, Miss Kiss Snatcher!” laughed Jake.
Nicole was bored with what Jake said and teased her.
“Tssk, you already snatched mine too.” Said Nicole.
“No, I just imitated you.” Jake said, smiling while teasing her.
Sometime later, someone called Jake, Jake excused and got up and walked outside the restaurant.
Nicole wondered who called Jake, while looking at him standing outside.
“Hmm, does Jake have another woman? Who is he talking to?” Nicole asked herself as she watched Jake smile at the person he was talking to on the phone.
