Jake's Office
"Do you have everything ready?" Jake asked over the phone.
"Yes sir" A female voice came from the other side of the phone.
"And you're very sure about that?" He asked again. He didn't want to take any chances tonight.
"Yes sir, everything is in order" The lady over the phone assured him.
"That had better be the case. If something goes wrong tonight, consider yourself out of business" He threatened. From the tone of his voice the person at the other side of the phone could tell he wasn't joking.
"Definitely sir" She replied, before Jake ended the call.
He picked up the little box on his desk and opened it. A smile crept on his face when he saw the beautiful necklace that sat inside it.
He brushed his hands over the J-shaped pendant. This was supposed to be his proposal gift to Jade but he had missed giving it to her, because of his spontaneous proposal. Though he was happy with the fact that Jade was now his girlfriend, he still felt like he could have done it better.
Maybe he should have sticked to his original plan.
Jake raised his head up towards the door when he heard a knock, and of course the person was already standing inside his office.
"Can i come in?" Blake asked, making Jake to glare at him.
"Aren't you inside already?" Jake rolled his eyes at him.
"Who knocks when they've already let themselves in?" Jake asked in a annoyed tone.
"Well you asked me to always knock, but you didn't specify where" Blake replied nonchanlantly as he plonked himself down on one of the seats in front of Jake's desk.
His eyes lit up when he saw the small box in Jake's hand.
"Is that for sister in-law?" He asked excitedly, leaning over the desk to get a good look of the necklace inside it.
"Hmm" Jake nodded his head. Not bothering about the fact that Blake had just addressed Jade as his sister in-law. He hasn't really thought about getting married, but the thought of getting married to Jade wouldn't be a bad idea. He'd get to call her his wife, wake up with her every morning and have kids that look just like her?
He shook his head when he realized the thoughts were currently going through his mind at the moment.
"Is it beautiful? Do you think she'll like it?" Jake asked showing the box to Blake.
"Of course it is. I'm sure she'll love it" Blake assured him.
"I think so too" Jake said with a proud smile. He had taken him a long time to pick out this necklace for her. He wanted something simple yet beautiful, and after searching for a long time he had finally settled for this.
"So you want to propose her to be your girlfriend?" Blake asked curiously, as he took the box from Jake and looked at the detail of the necklace.
"Yeah, no...not really?" He replied confusedly. Blake shot a brow at him.
"Bro I don't understand you"
"The thing I already asked her out"
"Really?" Blake eyes widened in surprise. He didn't know they had gone that far. He had a feeling his brother liked the girl, but knowing he had already taken the big step came as a surprise to him.
"Yes" Jake nodded, but he continued. "But the thing is it was kind of spontaneous. And I had this plan prepped out before now, but I didn't pull through with it as planned" He sighed. He was feeling slightly regretful for making his proposal to Jade so casual. After watching all those proposal videos on YouTube, he really thought that Jade deserved something better.
"Really? Well spontaneous is good too. I mean it makes it look more natural and stuff." Blake commented.
"Maybe I don't really know. But I just feel like I want to do things right. Like you know, flowers and stuff" He shrugged.
Blake looked at him intently. "So you want to do it again?" Blake asked suspiciously. He had the feeling his brother wanted to repeat his proposal.
"Maybe" Jake shrugged.
"When?"
"Tonight" He replied.
"At the charity ball?" Blake's eyes widened.
"No dummy, not at the ball" He eyed him. Sometimes he wondered if Blake was smart at all.
" So where?" Blake asked, not minding the fact that he was called a dummy.
"At the open field, close to the water side. After the party" Jake told him.
"Perfect place. So tell me about your plans" Blake urged.
Looking at him skeptically, Jake decided to share his plans with him. He has really been dying to share his plans with someone, because he had been feeling nervous about it. He had thought about talking to Phil or Dan, since Dan was the married one but he had changed his mind afterward. Maybe he could tell Blake.
"So I was thinking I'd take her for a walk.." He started telling Blake all his plans for the night.
Blake couldn't believe all the things that had just come out from his brother's mouth. They were strange and overly sweet.
"Woow! What did you do to my brother?" Blake asked dramatically, his face full of surprise.
"What do you mean?" Jake asked in confusion.
"I can't believe you can actually be so romantic. Gosh so many girls are going to cry when they hear you've been take. It's not like they didn't know how you were never interested in them, but at least they were happy you were always generous with your legendary stuff" Blake said with a wink, knowing Jake understood what he was referring to.
"That's their problem and not mine. And stop talking about such things with me. It's very embarrassing especially when you're my younger brother"
"Pfft, everybody talks about it. Who doesn't know about you debacherous reputation" He scoffed.
"Anyway I'm happy for you bro. Maybe now I think I'd would be inspired to get a girlfriend someday....soon" He grinned.
"Or maybe never"
"Just so you know, I'm a clean and delicious piece of meat. I know many girls must be dying to sample me, but damn! women are scary and very unpredictable. I'd rather stay sane by keeping away" He hissed.
"Whatever. My Jade isn't scary and unpredictable. Keep fooling around till your little girl who likes gets taken away" Jake hissed at him, before snatching the neck lace from him.
"What little girl?" Blake cocked his brow in confusion. "Amy?" He asked when he finally realized who Jake was referring to.
"First of all, she's not a little girl. She's a very beautiful woman. Note the word 'woman' and secondly we're just friends and I'm okay with that" Blake told him.
"Whatever. If you can please leave, I'd like to make an important call, so you should probably get back to work" Jake said dismissively.
"You want to call sister in-law huh?" Blake teased, making Jake glare at him.
"Don't worry I'm leaving. I'm sure you're going to turn to a girlfriend slave soon just like in those novels and movies" He said before bursting out in laughter.
"Just get out"
"Sure I will. Just tell sister in-law that I have some wonderful stories to tell her about her boyfriend, my handsome big brother"
"Blake I dare you to say one word to her and I'll leave you castrated and broke" He warned. He knew Jade must have heard a thing or two about his past lifestyle...who was he kidding. She must have heard alot, but he didn't want Blake to go scare or make her feel uncomfortable by telling her more of the shameless things he has done in the past.
"Don't worry I'll be nice. I won't show her pictures" He laughed harder as he ran out of his office. He was sure if he stayed a minute longer Jake was going to cut off his tongue before he could get the opportunity to say 'Hi' to his girlfriend.
Jake glared at his back as he walked away. He was going to make sure that Jade never got to talk to Blake tonight or any of his friends.
He cringed when he realized that those devilish and mischievious friends of his would be attending the party tonight.
What the hell has he done?
He wasn't going to lose his girlfriend tonight right? His heart began to race as he thought how annoying his friends could be.
Maybe he shouldn't have invited Jade. He should have thought about all this before inviting her. Should probably uninvite her? And maybe they could go for their date instead of the party?
At this point he was regretting all of his life's decision. From to his womanising act to his horrible choice of friends. Damn he was so dead! Only God could make this night go perfectly for him.
He picked up his phone to call Jade. He hasn't heard from her all day, except this morning when they chatted online. He frowned after calling her a couple of times and she didn't pick up.
"What's wrong? Is she busy?"
