The Robin Hood Society

Chapter 31 - A Familiar Place

Since Jacob is not familiar with the place once in a while he stopped whenever they come to an intersection. Although J is very familiar with the place, she never dared to tell him which way to take to avoid talking to him. She just let him choose.

Then they reached an intersection in front of a hill. The whole province of Lantana is a mountainous province surrounded by the ocean. So, hills, mountains, and oceans are very common scenery. Jacob was torn which road to take since both looked the same. But the other road has signage in it. "Lodgepole Estate." Jacob read the sign. When J heard it, she opened her eyes and saw that they arrived at the entry road of Lodgepole Estate.

"Hey, Jenny. Are you familiar with this place? Have you been here? Hmm... which road do you want us to take?" Jacob asked J. She rolled her eyes then said, "Whatever road you take as long as it will take me home."

"Haist...ok then. Let's see this Lodgepole Estate." then Jacob continued driving. That road circled around a hill. It was like a small peninsula because it is almost surrounded by the ocean. The whole place is a property part of the Lodgepole Estate.

Not long after they passed by the Lodgepole Estate. "Hey, Jenny. Look at this house. Wow... the view is breathtaking! I wonder if there is anyone who lives here. It looks so quiet and peaceful. I'd love to have a day off in this house. Hmmm...right! I got an idea. Let's buy a house here in Lantana near the ocean and mountains with this kind of view. It will be our vacation house. What do you think?"

J looked at the house. Ahh.... she should be lying in her bed enjoying the view at this moment if it wasn't for this guy. At the thought of that her face glower and gave Jacob an irritable glare.

"What? Did I say something wrong?" Jacob was confused upon seeing J's reaction.

Jacob continued driving, they passed by an orchard and a horse farm then they ended up in another intersection.

"Ahh! Nonstop intersections! Which way to... hmmm...." Jacob said while tapping the steering wheel with his fingers, his head looking left and right.

"Take the left road," J said indifferently.

"I knew it! All along you knew this place!" Jacob said beating the steering wheel upon hearing what J said.

"Are you slow? It's common sense if we take the other road it will only lead back to where we came from." J said this unbelievably although deep inside her, she just wanted to go home already that's why she told him the right way.

Soon they arrived at J's apartment. J was not surprised that Jacob already knows where she lived. However, she was surprised that Jacob parked his car in the underground parking of the apartment building that is intended for the tenant. The apartment building provided each tenant with a parking space where they can park their car. But since J "doesn't have a car", the parking space provided for her has always been vacant.

But not this time, because Jacob parked his car in that parking space provided for her. "You don't have to park your car here. You should've dropped me in front of the apartment." J said feeling uneasy. Why does she have that feeling that she won't be able to push Jacob away that easy?

"Hmm... this is your parking space, right?" Jacob asked.

"Yes..."

"I'll be using this space from now on." after Jacob said that he walked towards the elevator with his hands on his pocket.
