Enthralled By You || UNDER HARD REWRITE

Part 7

(Jade's POV)

After taking pictures and chatting with everyone, they all leave or return to sipping on their Starbucks. There was siblings that I let sit with Jake and I after everyone left. The guy's name was Omar, the girl's name was Tiffany, they had a Jade Ramones fan account on Instagram that I always notice every once in awhile. They both also show much love on Twitter. 

The three of us were currently talking about my previous Meet & Greet Convention stories, Jake was sitting by me on his phone. I feel Jake poke my left side and scoot closer to me "I'm going to the car real quick to grab my portable charger, need anything?" he whispers in my ear, trying not to interrupt our conversation, I shake my head and he walks out the cafe. 

Almost right away, Omar and Tiffany neglect our previous conversation and start chirping "So what's going on between you and Jake?!" Tiffany asks with a smirk. Omar looks quite interested in the topic too. 

"We don't hate on Jake, we think you both would make a great couple. So are you guys a thing? Do you like him as much as he likes you" Omar surprisingly asks, I think about that topic for a minute, deciding how to answer it properly. 

"Umm, you know, I'm not sure! Haha! We don't like each other, at least I don't like him like that, we're strictly just friends. He used to be really rude towards me and I'd hate him for that, but now we are cool friends. Nothing more," I explain, they both groan "Blah blah blah, we're just friends, blah blah blah," Tiffany mocks me, I laugh "What? We are!" I state causing Tiffany to roll her eyes.

Omar is just about to say something but shuts his mouth when Jake sits back down by me again. "Order of 2 Double Chocolatey Chip Frappe's" A woman yells, Jake gets back up again "I'll be back," he laughs, Omar chuckles as well. 

"Why don't you try seducing him? If he responds, he likes you," Omar whispers with a shrug, I almost barf at his suggestion "No! Hell no! No, no, no!" I squeal. "Umm, I'm sorry, is this not what a Double Chocolatey Chip Frappe looks like?" Jake questions me with wide eyes, I laugh awkwardly, he thought I was yelling at him. 

"No, that's exactly what it looks like Jake, sit down and give me my drink," I command, he chuckles and sits down, handing me my drink. "So what were you 3 talking about?" Jake asks us, Omar and Tiffany exchange faces.

I clear my throat "Nothing significant. But my throat hurts so maybe I should go home, sorry guys. It was great seeing you in person, I love you both so much!" I say as I get up to hug the both of them, they laugh and hug back. 

"You too Jade! It was a pleasure to see my queen!" Tiffany smiles brightly, I smile and giggle "Alright, bye love!" I shout, they wave in exchange as I drag Jake out of Starbucks. "Sooo, your house now? You want me to stay with you tonight?" Jake questions as I drive through the streets, I laugh "I'm dropping you off Frawl, don't think we're friends just because you tackled my ex boyfriend," I remind him. 

He laughs "I wouldn't want to be your friend anyways, that act you put on in there was quite realistic," causing me to look at him shocked, he thinks that was an act?! "There was no bullshit involved in that, it was all real, no act. Gosh Jake you always think I'm such a terrible person, that's why I dislike you so much," I admit.

Jake nods "Alright, cool. I honestly could care less, I mean, I did see it coming after all. You not liking anyone else besides yourself. Also hating on the people who know the truth about you, I saw it all coming Jade Ramones," he retorts. Wow.

I stay silent because that son of a gun doesn't know anything about me, nor does he need to. Silence fills the car as I drive to his house, thankfully it was only 15 minutes. I pull up to his house and he gets out not saying a word. What, no thank you for the ride?

 I drive myself home and go to sleep, tomorrow will come early since I have to go back to school and there is no doubt people will not be spreading rumors about what happened this time between Jake Frawl and I. Everyone knows he 'saved my life' from my ex, it was all over the stupid news. Whatever.

 Don't, don't, don't play with her don't be dishonest, (aye) still not understanding this logic, (aye) I'm back and I'm better (and I'm better), I want you bad as ever, don't let me just let up, I wanna give you better, baby it's whatever, somebody gotta step up, girl I'm that somebody so I'm next up, my alarm song plays one of my favorite songs by Bryson Tiller, but I wake up with a headache and take some pills right away.

After I hopped in the shower, I got ready and packed my backpack. Today I wore my colorful jacket that just came in from the mail, a black tank top, black leggings, a pair of my Yeezy's, my hair was straight and my makeup was dark.

"Jade! Lover boy saved your life huh? That's cute! You know what's not? Keeping it a secret from your best friend," Brook explained "The fuck are you talking about?" I question her, I guess you could say my tolerance will be very high today, I also may show a bit of attitude. Just because. 

"You and Jake Frawl are dating! Why didn't you tell me Jade?" Brook asks, I cringe at the name she mentioned. "Because we're not! It's some stupid rumor, I don't know who's want to date such a prick," I explain, she slowly nods.

 "So you guys don't have a thing? You don't like each other?" She questions, I roll my eyes "Nope. I don't want to have anything to deal with him honestly," I answer, she just quietly nods, understanding how pissed I already am.
