The gangleader and me

Chapter 27

Cassandre POV 

I woke up in the morning with a pounding headache and with no recollection of how I ended up in bed. I tried to remenber last night's events, but it only made my head hurt more so I stopped. I turn in the bed and face the bedside table. Place don it were two tablets and a glass of water. 

I sat up noticing only now that Jake was not next to me. I took the tablets that eased my pain almost instantly. I stayed in this position and played with the necklace that Jake offered me. A few minutes later, the bathroom door opened and Jake got out showing off all his abs and his upper half glory. 

I couldn't resist but stare. I mean who wouldn't right ? But I got dragged out of my reverie by his deep chuckle. I met his eyes that were filled with amusement and immediatly looked down and blushed. 

"How are you feeling ?" Jake asked

"Like a truck rolled over my head a thousand times ... But the pills helped." I answered thruthfully raising the half empty glass to him "Thanks by the way."

"No problem babe." he said while putting on a shirt to my great despair. 

"So ... " I started unconfortbly "Did I do anything that I should be ashamed of ?"

"Well, with what do I start." He said tapping his chin with his forefinger to show he was in deep concentration. 

I grunted and he laughed at me. He walked over to me and sat mext to me. Pushing a strand of hair out of my face, he continued. 

"You drank at least four wine bottles. You danced in front of my guys in shorts and you almost got me to have sex with you." he finishes watching deeply into my eyes.

My eyes bulged out od thair sockets at the last statement. I can't believe I embarassed myself like this. I was suddendly glad that I suffered memory loss. 

" I am so sorry ... For the bottles I mean. I might have took them from your cellar ... But I chose the cheap ones." I said with a small smile to ease the tension "And thank you for not giving in for the whole ... sex thing." I ended while scratching my neck nervously.

Heleaned in to kiss me when his cell phone rang. He paused and reached for it in his pocket. I tuned out his conversation and thought again about the things I apparently did last night. I was really a stupid drunk. 

"Sure. See you tonight." Jake said as he ended the call. 

I lifted my head to meet his eyes and asked what the call was about. 

" Just my mother who's coming to dinner tonight." he says casually.

" Tonight ?? " I repeated with obvious surprise in my voice.

" Well yeah that is what I just said." he answered leaning in to give me a kiss but I stopped him.

" Why didn't you tell me earlier ??" I asked again while getting out a bed.

" You had other things to worry about ... I didn't want to stress you."

" Well you failed your mission mister ! When is she coming ?" 

" At 7 I think "

" I need to hurry." 

And without another word. I bolted in the bathroom to get ready for the day hearing Jake whine about his kiss. Didn't he realise this was a code red ?

After my shower, I went to the kitchen to look at the supplies Jake had in the house. I was very disappointed to see that it was fairly empty. I stopped Tyler in mid step and dragged him with me to the store after texting Jake.
