After Ryan and Jade started dating, the boy had to talk and ask permission for the girl's parents and Mark about the relationship. Subsequently, they told their friends about the relationship.Roger, despite suffering a lot, knew how to disguise very well what he was feeling at the moment and wished him well-wishes for Ryan and Jade. Roger, after all, wanted Ryan to be happy next to Jade and he would continue his friendship with the girl.

Roger commented to Marcos that he would do anything to forget Jade and that he would go after other girls. Roger who had gone through other stages of womanizing, started dating many girls and everyone found strange, their attitudes. Even Jade was amazed at this sudden change.

"My friend, what's going on?" "You're acting like an inveterate womanizer."

"I've had other phases of a womanizer before, Jade, when I was betrayed by my ex-girlfriends," the boy said a little irritably. "And now I wanted to go back to my old womanizer's life. I do not want to know any girl to date, love only brings suffering, that's the truth.

"Rog, it's not like that," Jade said affectionately to him. "See Ryan and me. We're dating and we're happy.

- Really? The boy said irritably and with a certain arrogance, "And what do you mean by love?" She's a brat who does not know anything about life yet. Ryan and you are dating recently.You're still a brat, Jade.

"I'm a brat, but I understand love very well when there is real love and Ryan is in love with me for real and I for him. I'm a brat, but you like my friendship and my advice, I think so, "Jade said irritably and annoyed.

"Good for you that Ryan is in love with you, Jade, and vice versa," Roger said, grinning bitterly. - Now I have no luck in love, I have not, so do not talk about love with me, okay? And I'll be a womanizer from now on, because that's better, and if I happen to date someone, I'll let you know, okay, Jade?

Jade was annoyed by Roger's response and said nothing to him. They spent a few days without speaking, however, Roger later apologized to Jade, saying that he was just annoyed because he did not find an ideal girl for him being that Roger wanted to say that the ideal girl for him would be Jade, but, he held on and nothing said.

"Rog, do not worry my friend, you'll find an ideal girl for you, do not lose hope and please do not be a womanizer," Jade asked.

Roger and Jade hugged hard and he smelled the strawberry xampoo in her black hair.

"I promise I'll do my best not to be a womanizer, I'll make an effort, I promise, Jade," Roger said, and Jade smiled at him.

February 1970.

In February, Smile would not make band appearances because Brian had traveled to Tenerife with some college professors to study for his PH D in Astrophysics. Tim had finished college and was working on Graphic Design. Roger was in his junior year of dental school and was attending the dental clinic of Jade's father alongside Mark and helping Freddie at a clothing store stand he had at the Kensington Market. Earlier in the month, he attended a college party at Maria Assumpta with Tim and Roger met a college student named Josephine Morris. Josephine was enchanted by Roger, immediately and the blonde also found her very pretty. He did not feel any love for her, but he felt a certain attraction to her beauty. The two began to leave, with some frequency, without becoming anything serious, for now.

March 1970

At the beginning of March, after a month of meeting Josephine, the drummer decided to give Josephine and himself a chance to forget Jade and the two started dating. Roger quickly communicated to everyone about his relationship with Josephine, including Jade.

On March 20th, on Friday, Ryan and Roger decided to go out with their girlfriends together, take a ride between couples and the girls agreed. The couples went to the movies and then went to a pizzeria. Jade and Josephine met and Jo, as she is known, automatically liked Jade very much, for realizing that the girl's manner is sweet, but Jade, even treating Josephine very well, did not like the girl. She found Josephine very bored and boring. Yet she treated her well, so as not to upset Roger. Jade watched Josephine and Roger kissed her lips and felt uncomfortable, but she said nothing to Ryan, to anyone.

On Easter Sunday, the twenty-ninth of March, there was a fraternization among friends, to exchange Easter eggs. The meeting was held at Jade's house. Alicia and Jessica liked Josephine very much and talked happily. Philip and James also liked Josephine. Jade was jealous when she realized that everyone was paying attention to Josephine.

"Your sweets are very good, Jade," Josephine smiled sympathetically.

Jade just smiled, saying nothing. Josephine realized that Jade did not like her very much.

"I do not think your friend likes me, Rog," Josephine said. "I can see that she never brings me up with her, she does not like me."

"I'll deal with Jade, because she's not like that, Jo," Roger said, hugging Josephine in annoyance.

During the party, Roger approached his friend.

"Is everything okay, Jade?" He asked his friend.

"Yes Rog, it's okay," Jade grinned openly at his friend.

"It does not look like, I've noticed that my girlfriend Josephine does everything to get close to you, talk to you and you just run away." Roger said looking seriously at Jade. "Jo likes you very much and wants to be your friend, treat her well, because everyone likes her.

"I've noticed that everyone likes her," Jade said sarcastically. "Even my friends like her, Ryan likes her, everyone likes her.

"What's the problem with everyone liking my girlfriend?" - Roger asked upset - If everyone likes Josephine it is because she is a very dear and nice person, correct? What's your problem with not liking my girlfriend? I've noticed that, Jade.

"Or did you notice, or did she tell you?" - Jade said.

"She commented to me, but I also noticed her way with her, Jade. I'm not blind, "Roger said.

- Roger, is it okay? I really do not like Josephine, I find her stuck, idiot, right? Jade said irritably.

"And you're being a selfish bastard, Jade," Roger said angrily. "You know what your problem is?" You're being a heartless selfish. I'm now happy next to Josephine and you should be happy for me, after all I'm happy for you and Ryan.

Jade realized that she had talked too much and looked at Roger intently.

"I'm sorry, Rog, I'm sorry I told you about Josephine," Jade said, looking at her friend.

"What's wrong with you, Jade?" - Roger said looking sad - Fuck, you can not be happy for me.

- Do you know what happens? "I'm jealous of Josephine with you, with our friends, because you only have attention for her now and even our friends, too." It's like I'm invisible.

"Jade, please, stop it," Roger said, looking at her. "You will never be ignored by our friends and me. We're friends. As long as Josephine needs my attention, she's my girlfriend , but, you're special to me, Jade, always will be.

At that moment the blonde embraces Jade affectionately and kisses her on the cheek.

"I hope you do not disappoint me and approach Josephine without causing trouble, because I know deep inside you, you're not selfish, Jade," Roger said, kissing her friend's face.

After Roger left, Jessica approached Jade.

"Is everything okay, my friend?" Jessica looked at Jade. "I saw you and Rog were arguing."

"I'm fine with my friend," Jade said, looking at Jessica. "And you were very good at talking to Josephine too.

"I understand everything, Jade," Jessica smiled at her friend. "You're jealous of Jo, because everyone liked her and became friends with her. Josephine is a person love and is doing very well for Rog. And from now on my friend, you will have to get used to it.

"I do not understand what you mean, Jessica," Jade said, looking at her.

"You chose Ryan, you're dating him and you're happy. Roger left the dispute. Only you do not realize that Rog had always been in love with you, too. And I'd really like you to stay with Rog, but as you chose Ryan, the blond had to go his way and started a relationship with Josephine and is giving due attention to his girlfriend. And this is deeply normal. - Jessica said speaking the truths to Jade - Do not become unbearable, irritating, Jade. You are not like that. You are a sweet, beautiful, caring girl and everyone likes you because of your personality. Do not be jealous of silly things, Jade.

Jessica kissed her friend's face and walked away. Jade knew that Josephine's jealousy was growing, but she would have to hide it. Jade saw Roger kissing Josephine on the lips and hugging her. Ryan walked over to her and hugged her and kissed her on the lips.

"I'm very happy for Rog, because at last he's met someone who really loves him." I just hope he does not have any more disappointments. "Ryan looked at his girlfriend.

"What really happened to Roger's other two relationships?" Jade asked curiously.

"Roger was betrayed by your ex-girlfriends," Ryan said. "He does not like to comment on that, so do not tell him I told you that, my love, promise?"

"I promise Ryan," Jade said, hugging her boyfriend, but watching Roger with Josephine. "I'm sorry he's been through it, I just hope Josephine does not bring Roger.

"I do not think so," Ryan said. "Josephine is in love with Roger, and she's a lovely young woman, and she's sure to make our friend very happy."

Jade felt uncomfortable once more, this time with her boyfriend, praising Josephine. Will Jade be jealous of Josephine?
