When You Are Mine
Chapter 125 - If You Win
Jade was rendered speechless by Jake's apology. She tried finding the words to refute his apology but she couldn't come up with one. She didn't expect his apology to feel this intense, so much that she could feel the anger in heart disperse.
There was so much sincerity hovering over his words. In as much as she wanted to stay angry at him, because truly he has really hurt her by doing something that revolted her so bad, she also felt that his apology was too sincere to be overlooked.
Jade's eyes were fixed on him as she continually stared at him unblinkingly. Jade could feel Jake's nervousness as he desperately waited for her to say something. Her heart was in chaos, Jake's words has suddenly unsettled something in her.
Wait! did he really say he thought about sleeping with her? Who the hell says that in an apology?
Answer- Jake.
Jade didn't expect his apology to feel this intense and sincere, so much that she was beginning to feel she'll feel terrible if she didn't consider forgiving him.
But should she really listen to his apology and simply let things go just like that? To be frank she really didn't expect Jake to lie to her, and she also didn't expect herself to feel quite hurt about it, like she was.
Jade could not deny the fact that she somehow liked the fact that Jake owned up to his wrongs, and didn't deny it or try to wringle his way out of it, unlike someone she knew. It showed she wasn't truly wrong about him in the first place.
She felt his sincerity while he spoke, and even now she could tell he was still repentant, something she didn't see in Cale when he asked for her forgiveness, more when he demanded for it.
Jade looked at Jake silently and sighed. Jake felt his heart skip a beat when she did that. She wasn't going to forgive him was she? He asked himself. It was fine, he completely undestood.
He probably shouldn't ask for what he wasn't sure he could give. Maybe if the tables were turned, he'll probably not forgive right away and would definitely have some doubts in his heart too.
"Just so you now that's weirdest apology I've ever heard in my life" Jade said with a straight face.
"Huh?" Jake was confused. "I'm sorry" He impulsively apologized again. He didn't know what to comment on that.
"Who apologize with such savage thoughts?" Jade said referring to his confession if him wanting to sleep with her.
"Well...I was just trying to be honest with you the best way I can" Jake said awkwardly scratching the back of his neck. "I guess I should take that back" He added with an awkwardly embarrassed look on his face which Jade found to be quite cute, making her lips quiver with a smile. Jake's skipped another beat when he saw that smile but the smile was so quick as Jade's face regained it's initial expression. Jake was beginning to think he had imagined it.
"I don't really know what to think of your apology Mr Jake. For some unknown reason I suddenly don't feel like staying angry at you anymore, but that does not mean that I'm not hurt and dissappointed, because I truly am"
"I'm sorry" Jake apologized again.
"It's okay Mr Jake, stop apologizing. I'll accept your apology because you realized how wrong this was and you were humble enough to apologize and correct you wrong" Jade added. That was the truth. This incident has made her see that Jake was not like those typical rich and proud heirs in their society today. His trait of humility in him suddenly made her see him in a different light.
Seeing someone as wealthy and influential like him rendering such a sincere apology was something she never anticipated. Because her few ecounters with some wealthy folks had left her with the impression that, all rich people were proud and sassy, but Jake had proven otherwise.
"Are you saying... you have forgiven me" Jake asked nervously as his heart began to race anxiously.
"Sort of" Jade replied making Jake's face lit up with joy.
"Really, Thank you!" Jake hurriedly said before she could take back her words.
"Mr Jake hold on" Jade suddenly became even more serious than she was seconds ago, making Jake slightly panic.
"I know you're a powerful person and what I'm about to say might sound disrespectful, but I'll say it anyway" Jade said looking at Jake who was playing rapt attention to her.
"Your intentions of lying might sound pure and innocent, but the truth is there were still lies. I know I said I have forgiven you but that does not mean I'll do that every time you do something like that, I'm not that generous. So I'll appreciate it if you try to be as honest as possible and I'll try me best to do the same" Jade said with a serious tone.
Silence ensued after Jade's sermon.
"I understand. I'll do my best to regain whatever little trust and respect you've had for me, which unfortunately I might have broken" Jake commented.
"I hope you do that" Jade said with a smile which made Jake smile too. His heart leaped for joy as this sudden development. Jade's smile widened when she saw Jake's boyish smile.
"Wait!" Jake's brain snapped when he finally realized something.
"Does this mean you're still going to ha-ang out with me?" Jake had a nervous smile on his face as he asked. He remembered Jade's words. She had used the word 'everytime', in fact she had used a whole lot of words and none of them indicated that she was going to stop seeing him. 'Was does that mean?'.
Jade almost chuckled when she saw his nervous look. His expression was like that of a baby expecting some sweet candy.
"Well...that depends" Jade said. A smile tugging on her lip.
"Depends on what?" Jake asked impatiently.
"On if you can defeat me" Jade said pointing her chin to the T.V. Sincerely, Jade was actually getting to enjoy his company. It wasn't like that of Amy and Lair, but it felt good either way.
Jake's eyes lit up when he heard that. Winning her in the game was not going to be that hard. If it was just defeating her in the game he was sure he'll be successful. He gave off a confident smile, "Sure" Jake replied.
"Okay"
"Can I add something else?" Jake asked suddenly becoming nervous again. He was going to use this opportunity well.
"To my condition?" Jade asked raising a brow.
"Yes" Jake nodded.
"Mr Jake, sorry. But isn't it too early to start making demands?"
"I know, I'm sorry but I can't help it"
"Okay, let's hear it" Jade replied.
"Can you consider us as friends if I should win this?" Jake asked, making Jade gaze on him harden. Jade glanced at him silently. The silence continued for sometime, just as Jake was about to awkwardly laugh it off and tell her to forget it, Jade suddenly said,
"Only if you win"
There was so much sincerity hovering over his words. In as much as she wanted to stay angry at him, because truly he has really hurt her by doing something that revolted her so bad, she also felt that his apology was too sincere to be overlooked.
