COCOLATE

Chapter 14

Jenny stood in front of the cafe. It was five in the evening. Fifteen minutes before mom and her lover arrived. She didn't know whether she was going to go in or not. Jasper said that he'll arrange something for her. She was anxious and excited about what he's going to do.

A hand taps her shoulder. She jumps, startled and turns back. She sighs in relief and places her hand on her chest as she sees who it is.

“Jacob?? What are you doing here? Did you follow me??” She asks him, raising her eyebrow. She was relieved it was him, not her mom.

“I didn't follow you Jen. I usually come here after work for a nice cup of coffee.” He tells her.

“Wait. Work gets over at 5?” She asks him.

“Yes. On Saturdays it does.” He shrugs.

“Ohh..I see..sorry for doubting you.” She looks down, embarrassed.

“It's okay! Don't look down..” he lifts her chin up so that she could face him. She looks at his eyes.

She felt as if time stopped as she looked at him. He gave her a big smile and she couldn't look away. His green eyes look so mesmerizing. They were trapped in each other's gaze. She could feel herself inching closer toward him.

*Will he kiss me??*

She closes her eyes as she feels his warm breath on her face.

Jacob's heart flutters as Jenny closes her eyes. She was so cute! He also closes his eyes and cups her face in his hands. He could feel both of them getting closer.

“Jenny!”

Jacob opens his eyes. What was he doing?! He mentally slaps himself as both of them break away.

Jenny looks at Jacob before turning towards the voice. It was Jasper. Jeff stood beside him……. wait... Jeff stood beside him!?!

She immediately runs to them and hugs Jeff. He hugs her back.

“Oh my God! Is this real?!?!” She asks him.

“Yes! We're real.” Jeff kisses her forehead as Jasper pats her back.

She pulls back. She was so excited! She starts jumping in excitement as she holds their hands.

“Oh my god! Oh my god! You guys are really here!! I thought you'd send someone here or come in a way only I could see you! But you're actually here!!!” She squeals, happy.

“Calm down Chocolate! Calm down!!” Jeff holds her shoulders as he stops her.

“By the way...who is he?” Jeff looks towards Jacob who was looking at the trio. Jenny's face turns red as she remembers the kiss they almost had. Jeffrey smirks.

*Come on Jeffrey. You know who he is!! Don't tease her.*

*It's okay Jas! It's not everyday that I get to tease her!*

Jeff smiles at him and Jasper rolls his eyes.

“That's Jacob. My friend and co-worker.” Jenny tells, looking down. She felt embarrassed. Why did she do that? They're just friends…but it felt good. Having him close to her like that. She felt happy.

*Wait?! What?! Jenny!! What are you thinking?!*

Jacob looks at Jenny as she runs toward two men and hugs the younger one. He felt jealous? Why? He shouldn't feel that. He is just a friend to her. But he couldn't help but think about her. He wondered who the two men were to her. He couldn't help but smile when he saw how happy she looked when she saw them. She jumped in happiness. She was so happy. He felt happy. He didn't know he was staring at them till Jenny turns around and motions him to come over. He nods as he walks over to them.
