When You Are Mine
Chapter 196 - Don't Over Do It
Jade's Room
"I really want to kill that bitch. You should show her to me and let me teach that vixen a lesson. How dare she do that to you? What a liar!" Amy snapped as she stopped working on Jade's hair. She was styling her hair, after doing her make up.
"Amy you're not supposed to be shouting. You don't want Lair to scold me do you?" Jade said looking at her through the mirror.
They were both talking about what had happened to Jade back at the office. Jade had told Amy about it, except for the part that Stephanie had slept with Jake. She didn't like keeping anything from her friend, but she didn't want Amy to see Jake in a different light. Not that she didn't know that he was a casanova, but telling her about Stephanie and Jake was on a different level.
"Well don't blame me. When someone messes with my best friend, they're also messing with me. I can't let someone do that to my baby" Amy retorted.
"And you don't know how happy I am knowing that Cale finally gets what he deserves and he's completely out of your life. I get pissed when I think about the mental torture you go through when you see his face in the office daily. It must have been hard for you, but not anymore babe. I hope he doesn't show up in your life anymore" Amy added.
"I hope so too, but..." She paused and sighed, while her eyes turned sad.
Amy stopped what she was doing, and looked at Jade. "But what?" She asked. Her eyes looking at Jade through the mirror.
"I feel for Helen. She's going to feel sad about this" Jade explained, as she sighed.
"I understand how you feel. But you shouldn't let that weigh you down. Maybe he'll get a job somewhere else and then he'd put more effort into it. So stop worrying yourself okay." Amy comforted her. It was common knowledge that Jade loved Helen like family, and knowing how Cale's condition was going to affect her, it was understandable that Jade would feel bad for her.
"Okay" Jade nodded.
"You're already looking breathtaking just with your hair and makeup done. I can't wait to see you in your dress" Amy chirped excitedly.
Jade looked at herself at the mirror and she couldn't but help appreciate herself. Amy had done a perfect job with her makeup and hair.
"Amy I look...."
"I know you look breathtaking. Let's wait and see the reaction on the face of that boyfriend of yours" Amy said excitedly.
"Wait I'll bring your dress" She said as she rushed to the bed to pick up the gown they had picked from the mall.
It was a beautiful silver gown, which Amy had picked for her. Actually they had bougt two gowns. One for tonight and the other for Jade's date tomorrow. They were both beautiful.
Amy was admiring the gown and anticipating how Jade would look in it, when Grace knocked and strolled into the room with a huge box in her hand.
"Mom what's that?" Jade curiously inquired when her mom walked in.
"I don't know what's in it, it was delivered a minute ago" Grace replied, dropping the box on the bed.
"It's addressed to you" Amy said looking at the small card attached to the box. Jade raised a brow as she looked at her mom and Amy, confusion clearly evident in her eyes. Who would send her a gift as big as this?
"Me?" She asked as she stood to ber feet and walked closer to the bed.
She looked at the note attached to it, and Amy was right. It was truly addressed to her.
She opened the box and what graced made their eyes made them gasp in surprise.
Lying in the confinement of the box was a beautiful red shimmering gown. It's brightness was enough to illuminate the room. Jade was about to pick it up when her phone rang.
She rushed to pick her phone from the dressing table. It was Jake calling. She looked back at the box and she had a feeling her boyfriend was behind this.
"Hello"
"Did you get it?" He asked straight away.
"Mmm mm" She nodded, as she looked back at the gown which was now in Amy's hand. God! it was the most beautiful piece she has ever seen.
"Jake it- its beautiful" She said as she admired the gown.
"That means you like it?" Jake asked nervously.
"Of course I do. It's beautiful" She replied in a soft tone, making Jake heave a breath of relief. He has been so anxious and scared she wouldn't like it.
"But why?" She asked softly. She didn't expect him to send her a dress.
"Because you're my girl and I want you to look the prettiest tonight. I want to everyone to know the beauty that own my heart, and why I fell head over heels for her" He replied, making Jade blush.
"Oh Jake. But i already got something to wear" She told him.
"Well..." Jake stuttered. He didn't know what to say. He couldn't coerce her to wear the dress.
Jade noticed his hesitation and she smiled. She knew he didn't want to pressure her into wearing the dress just because he had bought it for her. He just scored himself another brownie point.
"I'll wear it with pride and flaunt my boyfriend's package" She said, slightly reducing her voice so the others in the room wouldn't hear her. Jake smiled when he heard her.
"Please babe don't do it too much. I don't want to stay on guard all night" He said.
"Well that's up to you. I intend doing that all night" She said, her smile widening broadly. Of course she knew he was going to look as delicious as ever, and maybe more dashing. And being one of the most eligible bachelor with a promiscuous history, who's not only successful but drop dead gorgeous, she knew many girls were going to try getting into his pants tonight.
"Alright I'm going to watch you like a hawk" He said making Jade giggle.
"Thanks for the dress" She said.
"You're welcome. I'll be at your place in an hour. Hope you'll be ready by then?" He asked. He was anxiously waiting to see her. This girl was going to turn his brain off with her beauty he was so sure of it.
"Sure I will"
"Alright I leave you to it then"
"Okay. See you in a bit" She said before hanging up the phone.
She turned to look at the gorgeous beauty which Amy and her mom were still drooling over, and her heart leaped with excitement.
"He sent it didn't he?" Amy asked as Jade approached them again, and she bobbed her head up and down affirmatively.
"This is so romantic" Amy squealed. "Who knew Jake had this side to him?"
"He sure does love you" Grace added with a smile which was also reflected on her daughter's face. She was happy Jade was happy. After what that Cale did to her daughter, she surely deserved to be spoiled. Before now Jade was on the giving end, and it would be nice if she was on the receiving end for once. She deserved to be loved and spoilt.
Amy clogged the dress to herself. "If only his stupid brother was half as sensible as he was, I wouldn't be this lovelorn. What a fool!" She cussed dramatically, making Jade chuckle.
"He's a big fool" Jade agreed with her.
"Hey you're not allowed to cuss him too, only I can do that" Amy retorted, shooting Jade a mock-glare.
"Let me get this right, the both of you are interested in two brothers?" Grace couldn't help but ask.
"Hmmm" Amy nodded. "But don't worry aunty I got rejected" She said in a casual tone, but the pain in her voice could not be missed.
"I'm sorry honey" Grace sympathised with her.
"It's okay. I'm just sad he spoilt my chance of becoming sister in-laws with my baby. Anyway it's his lost" She shrugged.
"I just want to get over the problems in my life first, and I'll make sure monkey boy comes begging" She said with a smug smile.
"Of course he will. He doesn't know what an angel you are" Grace added with a proud smile.
"Exactly"
"I'm going to leave you girls to do your thing. We'll be waiting outside" By we she was referring to herself and Kevin.
"Okay mom" Jade said as Grace stepped out of the room.
"Girll!" Amy squealed excitedly.
"Amy stop shouting, you have to watch your health" Jade chided, a smile also quivering on her lips. She was also happy.
"Shut up. Do you know what dress this is? Do you even know how much this cost?" Amy asked feigning annoyance. Jade was supposed to be happy, her boyfriend just sent her a heavenly expensive dress and she wasn't screaming the roof down, rather she was scolding her for being excited?
"No" Jade shook her head, as her eyes kept fingering the dress.
"This cost a fortune babe, a fortune!" Amy stated. She could tell the designer's brand this, because hailing from a rich home, she had been opportuned to see some clothes from well renowned designers. But she never had interest in them.
"Come on girl, you have to try it on. Just wear it already" Amy urged as she handed the dress over to Jade.
Just hearing Amy say the dress cost a fortune, she felt burdened by wearing it. She felt her heart pound against her chest. She was wondering if she could pull such a piece off. She didn't want to disappoint Jake. He must have gone through alot just to get this for her. What if it wasn't her size? She panicked inwardly.
Jade received the dress and anxiously slipped it on. She looked stood in front of the full length mirror, while Amy did her zip. Amy took a step back to take a full look at Jade through the mirror.
"Jade you look....amazing" Amy was completely stunned.
"I do right?" She spoke softly, her voice filled with incrrdulity. She was equally surprised by how perfect she looked in the dress.
"Mmm" Amy nodded. Her eyes taking in every inch of her friend's beauty.
"Jake eyes are going to pop, when he sees you"
"I really want to kill that bitch. You should show her to me and let me teach that vixen a lesson. How dare she do that to you? What a liar!" Amy snapped as she stopped working on Jade's hair. She was styling her hair, after doing her make up.
