Chapter 12 - Feel Safe
Jean Verodine
"You're full?" Blake asked chuckling as he put his arm around my shoulder.
"That was a lot, Blake." I answered.
"What happened to your phone?" He suddenly asked and that caught me out of guard.
"I dropped it and I haven't bought a new one."
"Clumsy, Jean." He smiled and thanked God he didn't suspect a thing.
"I'll buy a new one later on." I said to him and he shook my head.
"Do you know how crazy I was looking for you?"
"I thought you weren't looking for me, you forgot about me." I looked away not wanting to look in his eyes.
"Jean.. are you being serious?" He asked me disbelief.
"What? Where are we going?" I asked and he stood up taking my hand.
"Having fun." He gave me his cheeky smile and wrapped his arm around my shoulder.
"What were you doing in Paris?" I asked.
"At last you're concerned about my whereabouts, Jean." He chuckled and patted my head.
"I lost a deal and Max asked me to join him to go to that person to take the deal."
"Did you get it now?"
"I got it but it was a 50-50 deal with Max."
"Well did Max regret bringing you?" I looked at him chuckling and he sighed nodding.
"He kinda did... He made sure I owe him one."
"Max? As in Max Cesantio?" I asked because I noticed that he's friends with the 7 Gold Lifes.
"You know him?"
"Everyone knows him and he's hot." I said bluntly and Blake stopped, he dropped his arm from my shoulder.
"Hot? You didn't just say that."
"It's the truth."
"Too bad.. he's taken sweetie." He took my hand and I chuckled.
"Taken? By who?"
"Rose Hastington." He pulled me inside a store as he said that and my eyes widen.
"Blake, what are-"
"Do you want the rose gold one or the gold one? Yours was the gold right?" He asked as he looked at the phone displays.
"Blake I don't need it now."
"Do you want me to go crazy to know your whereabouts? Or maybe I should make sure I have a bodyguard on you 24 hours? I mean.. how could you live without your phone?" I looked around to see if people hear Blake's high tone voice. Some people even recognized me and I smiled to them lightly before turning to Blake.
"I don't want it now." I crossed my arms and walked out of the store. My eyes caught a big pink pastel shop across the street. It's a cupcake shop, I pouted and looked at my stomach.
Should I get it or not? I just ate a big feast earlier.
Blake didn't follow me so I decided to cross the road. Walked through the crosswalk and suddenly I saw the person I want to avoid the most. He was smiling from the other side and it made me walk backwards. I quickly walked back. My body was shaking as he walks towards me.
"Jean." I screamed when someone touched me and closed my eyes immediately.
"Jean.. it's me Blake." I opened my eyes and looked for Will but he's gone.
"Blake." My breath got shorter and shorter.
"Are you okay?"
"I- I-"
"Jean, tell me what's wrong?" Blake held my shoulders and forced me to look at him.
"I'm fine." I lied, he took my hand and pulled me away.
I looked around to see if Will was still there or not? How did he know that I was here? Did he ask someone to spy on me like Blake did?
"Jean." Blake called as he gripped me tighter.
"Hmm?" I turned to him.
"What happened to you? Why did you scream earlier?" He looked at me worried.
"I'm fine."
"You sure?"
"Yeah." I nodded weakly and I tried to act normal quickly.
"Let's go back to the hotel okay? I think you're tired." He kissed the side of my head. I looked at Blake, now how can I let him go after 3 months of marriage? He's too sweet and he makes me comfortable... He makes me feel safe in every way. I trust him, I never trusted someone like I trust him.
I might... I might fall in love with him, we already got this far...
No Jean, you can't. What are you expecting from a guy like Blake? Expecting that he will settle down? He doesn't do relationship. He hates love. God, why do you let me meet him in the first place? This fake relationship makes my life more complicated than before.
"What are you thinking?" Blake's voice made me get out from my thoughts.
"Nothing." I tried to smile.
"Did something happen when I wasn't with you?" I turned to him and shook my head quickly.
"No no."
"Tomorrow we'll go back to New York and you sweetheart.." He touched my nose, "have you try your wedding dress on, pick a cake that you like and a wedding invitation design." He smiled and I nodded.
"Blake." I stopped and looked into his eyes.
"This is all fake, let's just make it simple." I saw his smile fading.
"But-"
"A simple wedding at the church, Blake." I cut him.
"You don't want a big wedding? You can invite all your friends and-"
"I don't need that." He nodded and stole a kiss from my lips. He smirked and we continued to walk again.
"I thought girls liked having a really big wedding? Like a princess or something like that." Blake said suddenly as we stopped in front of a black ferrari.
"Not all girls are the same, Blake."
"Get in." Blake walked to the driver side and got inside.
"Jean." He gestured me to get inside, I looked around to see if Will was still stalking on me or not. I don't like being uncomfortable and having the feeling that he's going to kill me anytime.
I quickly got into the passenger seat and Blake started the car. He stepped on the gas and drove leaving the place.
"You're staying at Faena right?"
"Yeah."
"Do you have the room alone or there's roommate?" He asked.
"Why are you ask-"
"Alone or roommate?" Blake cut me and he turned to me for a moment before he concentrated on the road again. I raised my eyebrows.
"Alone, why?"
"Good because I'm going to crash on your room." He gave me his evil smirk and I know what he means by that.
"Go get your own room!" I protested.
"Why is that? We're getting married and we have already become one?" I bet my cheek is getting red in seconds. How can he say that so bluntly?
"Awww my girlfriend is blushing." He teased by ruffling my hair and I buried my face with my hand.
"We're here, baby." Blake said as he got off and gave the car keys to the valet chauffer. I got off the car and then walked on the lobby with Blake by my side.
I looked at him and he raised his eyebrows, "What?" He asked.
"What do you mean 'what' ? Go get your own room!"
"Baby, we can't be separate!" He pulled me close and giving me his flirty look. He bit his lip and it made me gulp because it's tempting me. Oh how I want to kiss it.
What?! Did I hear myself right?
"Go ge- get yo- your own room!" I stuttered.
"I see you're nervous." He whispered in my ear making me shiver with tingles. I quickly walked away and pressed the lift button.
"You look so hot today." He back hugged me and kissed my neck, I turned to him planning to tease him. I leaned to him like almost kissing him but I didn't. I put my arms around his neck and looked into his eyes. Giving him a smirk I run my hand through his hair slowly.
"Damn it, Jean!" Blake hissed and I can't help but chuckle.
"Get your own room, Blake." I let him go and entered the lift as it opens, leaving him dumbstruck looking at me.
