Life couldn't be better as Jake watched his things being moved to a new apartment. Finally, he was getting a fresh start at everything he was becoming a new person with a different energy. This new life would not be corrupted. It would only be filled with the likes of Ivy, not the likes of Amanda. Realizing that he stayed all through the morning without talking to her, he brought out his phone and placed a call to her. She must have been really excited to see Jake's call enter her phone because she picked up immediately, something that Jake wasn't complaining about."Hey Ivy, how are you?" Jake asked as he stood by the entrance to the apartment watching the movers move his things into his penthouse."Jake. I'm alright, how are you?" "I'm perfectly fine. I missed you and so I decided to call.""Well ain't that sweet of you. What did you think of the party last night?" "How about we get together over a cup of coffee and discuss it at length?""Jake..." Jake was familiar with that tone
As soon as Jake could summon up the courage to open the day, he realized that he should have peeped through the peek hole, cause if he had, he wouldn't be faced with such a gruesome conversation. The Cash were starting to be a thorn in his flesh and he was tired of explaining of always having to pull them out. They stared at him as he opened the door slightly, allowing them to have a sneak peek into his new abode. He tried to read the expression on their faces but could not understand why they looked so happy. Together, they made a power couple and Jake started to doubt that Mr Cash didn't know all the evil that Mrs Cash did behind his back. How could he not when they were at his apartment to perfect another of their devious plan?His eyes moisten but he still could not take his eyes off them completely and neither could Mr Cash. Before Jake knew it, the event had turned into a staring competition and he didn't know if he was winning. For minutes, they stood there in silence staring
He was the captain and it was a hella good feeling. Jake smiled as he went about his business. Soon, it was time to meet up with Ivy. He threw on a smile outfit because he knew Ivy didn't like high-class dressing and he walked out of his apartment. The place was still partly ready, if it wasn't, he would have invited her over to his house. He couldn't wait to show her how far he had come in life. Though, Ivy wouldn't really understand it because she didn't come from the same place either. Nevertheless, he was ready to teach her his ways. He just hoped that she would pay attention.She was the only reason he was able to look Amanda in the eye and tell her no. He couldn't go back to a toxic relationship with her when the future was so much brighter with Ivy. So he held on tight to Ivy, praying that one day she would realize that they are too compatible to not be together. He couldn't say that he loved her yet, but with time he was sure that he would fall madly in love with her. It would
The content of the cup was an orange drink and how Jake knew that when Amanda dumped it on, Ivy. It all happened so fast and Jake did not even know where Amanda came out from but Ivy was covered in orange juice and the bewildered look on her face was not a pretty sight."So this is the bitch, huh? She is the reason for you treating me like this?!" Amanda said, boiling with anger. Jake looked from Ivy to Amanda, his shock quickly turned to anger and he wanted to pounce on her. Amanda, on the other hand, didn't stop ranting. And Ivy was still trying to understand what just happened. "Amanda, are you out of your fucking mind?!" Jake yelled at her. They had become the centre of attention and it was the type of attention that Ivy hated. It didn't take long before she pulled out her car keys and walked out of the coffee house without a word. "Ivy?" Jake tried to beg as he followed her. Amanda, who noticed that she was going to lose again, held him by the hand and tried to draw him back bu
Amanda smiled as she got back into the arms of her lover. Jake was back to being hers and she would do everything to ensure that it stayed at way. She held him tight, afraid that if she loosen her grip she might lose him forever. They stood in each other presence for minutes, not caring about the crowd that passed every so often. It was just the two of them that mattered at the point, exactly how Amanda wanted it. Jake didn't know why he was still there, he could have left but he had to admit to himself that he still had feelings for Amanda. She was the only one who got him feeling fly so easily. So he stayed with her and for a split second, he forgot about Ivy."Babe, do you think you will be able to make it to the party tonight?" Amanda asked while still holding Jake."The party is tonight? Why did your parents make it to be so soon?""It's because they are really sorry and they really want to make amends. Please, babe, it would mean so much to me if you'd come." She looked up at hi
Sophie's choice has never looked more real to Jake than at that moment. He couldn't pick any. He had the ability to but he would be losing so much if he picked any. So the next option was not to pick. And he made it perfectly clear."You don't tell me what to do Ivy. I am a man of my own...""A man of your own who is continuously getting on the last of my nerves. I don't know why I put you with your bullshit. I can enjoy the company of anyone else. Do you wanna know why? It's because I am a fun person. That's right, I am a fun person and you are looking for ways to make it all about you. You are not that special Jake Swanson, I can get another you in a minute. So you better start watching the way you treat me."Her words cut through him like a knife. He knew that she would be needing her pound of flesh but he never knew that she would be needing it that much to go to the extent of trying to bring him down. It was pointless to try and defend himself. He had already lost the battle but
The nature of things didn't allow her to show any emotions in his presence because if she did, then he would know about the things she was hiding. The feelings she wasn't sure she would be able to suppress for much longer. So she kept mute and tried to hide her feelings behind a mask of smiles."So you do love her that much, don't you?" She asked just to make sure that he knew what he was saying."As you have always said, she is my wife and I can't fully rid myself of her. No matter how badly I may want to. She is stuck to me just like I am stuck to her." Jake still didn't understand what was going on."That's awfully romantic. Why are you not with her right now?" "Her family is planning a dinner party for me and they are hosting it tonight. It's just close family and friends. I told her to go prepare for it while I run a few errands." Jake explained and suddenly, he had an idea. "Hey, here's an idea. This is a dinner party for family and friends, how about you come. Yeah and you can
Ivy lowered her car windows. She didn't want the artificial wind from the air conditioner. What she needed was the soft and gentle breeze that the day came with and she received it. She played old tunes on the radio and she and Jake did a Karaoke to it. It was fun to be around someone who thought like her so much and had the same mindset as her. She loved every bit of it and could only wish for it to happen more often. She had friends but not many. And the few she had didn't understand her the way Jake did. He was a person she knew not to get rid of.She looked at him and smiled. His face had never been more handsome than when the rays of the sun shone on them. It radiated his beauty and made him even more attractive to her. She should have stopped looking at him but she couldn't help but steal glances at him whenever she had the chance. She didn't lose focus on the road either but if a policeman was around, he would have easily arrested her for not driving well. "You need to stop lo
