When You Are Mine
Chapter 197 - Family Warning
Jade was still in the room with Amy, who had decided to redo her hair because she had a better style which would suit her dress perfectly.
"Amy, Jake's going to be here soon. Can please you hurry up" Jade pleaded for the upteenth time.
"Chill babe. He should know women take their time in looking pretty. So relax, even if he comes now he should wait, because that's what men are supposed to do; wait on their women" Amy stated as she continued with her work.
And just at that moment, the door bell rang.
"That must be him" Jade told her.
"So?" Amy raised a brow. She wanted Jade's look to be perfect, and she didn't understand why Jade wasn't concerned with how good she was supposed to look for the party.
"So?" Jade asked back, not understanding Amy.
"If I didn't know better, I'd think this was your first relationship. Stop acting like a high school girl who's anxious to see her prom date and let me finish this" Amy replied.
"I'm not acting like an high school girl" Jade rebuted.
"Yeah right" Amy snickered.
....
Living Room.
"Kevin go get the door" Grace called from the dinning table where she was going through the month's financial report of her shop.
"Mom, my game would end" Kevin cried from where he was sitted. From the way he was holding the console, one could tell he was at the crucial part of the game.
Grace looked at him, and sighed.
"I assure you, one day I'll bring that thing" She threatened as she stood up from the table and walked to the door.
She was surprised by the handsome young man who was standing by the porche of her house. He was familiar, but he looked quite different from the last time she saw him....he looked more handsome and formal.
"Good evening ma" Jake greeted with a nervous smile when he saw Grace.
"Good evening, come on in" She greeted back with a warm smile. He was now her daughter's boyfriend so she had to be nice to him, especially when he had that nervous look on his face.
"Thank you" Jake said before stepping into the house.
"These are for you" He said handing over a small gift basket to her. Grace looked at it and smiled. She remembered how he had acted the last time he was here. Apologizing about the fact that he came empty handed.
"Thank you" She said receiving the basket from him. She shook her head when she noticed how anxious he looked.
"You don't have to look so nervous okay. I'm not going to eat you. All I'll say is treat my daughter well" She told him, while Jake nodded in understanding.
"Yes ma" He replied.
"Good. Just sit and wait here, while I go inform her of your presence" Grace said pointing at the couch which Kevin was sitting on.
"Alright" Jake smiled lightly. He couldn't help but appreciate how nice and lovely Grace was.
Grace turned to look at Kevin who was so engrossed in the game. "Kevin Peterson say hi" She ordered before walking away, not before glaring at her lazy and game addicted son.
"To who?" He asked turning around to see he was meant to say hi to.
"Okay" He stressed when he saw Jake approaching his seat. "Good evening" he greeted politely.
"Evening, what's up" Jake greeted back as he plopped down on the couch. Jake observed how intense the little man was with the game he was playing.
"I'm cool. I'm Kevin" Kevin introduced himself.
"I'm Jake"
"I know. I heard you're now my sister's boyfriend" He said still fully engrossed in his game.
"Yeah I guess" Jake replied.
Kevin suddenly paused his game and turned towards Jake. His abrupt action made Jake gulp. He wasn't supposed to be scared of a small kid , but he wouldn't lie, Kevin's gaze was too intense.
"Dude you can't guess with my sister. You have to know. So are you her boyfriend or not?" Kevin asked with a serious look on his face.
"I guess I used the wrong word. I'm your sister's boyfriend" Jake replied.
"I'm not trying to be rude or something, I'm just looking out for my sist. I know my sister look all strong and all, but believe she's every fragile and should be well taken care of her" He paused and intensed his look.
"Dude you got to take care of her. You can't mess with her. If you do, I'm going to find you and do some nasty things to your fancy car and tell everyone one what a douche bag you are. And don't be deceived by size, I have so good taekwando skills. My sist got enough heart break from that asshole with a horrible face. I'm so pained I wasn't allowed to beat him up." Kevin sighed regretfully.
"You can't treat my sister like that, okay. I'm not joking" He warned with a really intense gaze. Jake was amused by the little guys protective instinct over his sister, he really admired it alot . He knew he couldn't smile right now as Kevin was looking really serious, and he really didn't want to experience any taekwando skills, which he highly doubted Kevin had.
"Sure, I'll never break your sister's heart" Jake assured him with equal seriousness.
Kevin silently looked at him for moments, trying to decipher how sincere Jake was. After a while he said, "Alright I'm going to believe you. You do look quite different from that maniac. One look at him and you already hate him. So be good and keep to your promise"
"Yes. I will" Jake nodded.
"That's good" Kevin gave an approving nod before returning his attention back to his game. " I'm going to resume my game now. I have to beat my sister's top score" He said as he picked his console up.
"She's one hell of a player, isn't she?" Jake asked with a proud smile.
"Don't tell me about it" Kevin cringed. "She's a monster" Kevin said making Jake chuckle. He had to agree with Kevin, his girlfriend was indeed a game monster, or in her case a monstress.
"Care to play while you wait?" Kevin offered.
Jake looked at the screen for a while. Thankfully it was a familiar one, so he agreed. "Sure" He wouldn't have agreed if it was a game he hasn't played before. He wouldn't want to embarrass himself before Kevin.
"Alright. Here" Kevin passed over another console. "It's an old model, hope you manage?"
"Sure I can" Jake said taking the console from him.
"Does Jade play with this?" Jake asked inquisitively as he examined it. The game set was indeed an old model.
"Yeah she does, but not anymore"
"Why?" Jake asked as they played.
"Because she has not been playing at home recently. I don't know if she's even playing at all. It's kind of weird though"
"What is?" Jake asked again.
"Sist loves playing games, mostly at weekends and also she does some designing. But she's not been doing that lately. Maybe that's why she doesn't want to get me that new game set" He grumbled out.
Jake wasn't about to tell him that he was the reason why his sister has changed.
"So you want a new game set?" Jake took a quick glance at him.
"Yeah. But sist has refused to buy me one" He hissed angrily.
"Do you want me to ask her for you?" He asked.
"Do you think she'll agree if you ask her?" Kevin eyes lit up as he turned to Jake.
"Well I have to try" He shrugged. "Maybe she'll agree" He added.
"Really?" Kevin dropped his console, abandoning his game. Nothing was more interesting than a new game set right now. Jake casually shrugged his shoulders, but Kevin saw that as a ray of hope. 'Maybe the boyfriend can use his sweetness on the sister' He thought.
"Thank you Jake. I'm going to root for you and my sister" Kevin chirped excitedly. Seeing Kevin smiling like that, Jake knew he had to talk to Jade about it, he wouldn't want to disappoint him.
He could easily buy it for him, but he'd like to get her consent first. Hence why he stopped himself from promising to get it himself. He didn't want to offend Jade.
"And what are you smiling about?" Grace asked Kevin when she returned back to the sitting room.
"Nothing" Kevin said. "We're just bonding" He added, making Grace suspiciously raise a brow at him.
"Sorry I took long. She's coming ou..." Grace was about to inform Jake that Jade was coming out soon when she heard the light clicks of Jade's heels behind her.
Grace and Kevin were stunned when Jade walked into the sitting room. Their mouths were gaped and their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Jade smiled when she saw their reaction. Amy had refused Grace access into Jade's room when she went to inform them about Jake's arrival. Even when she had gone in search for hair clips which were to be used for Jade's hair, Amy had still denied her access into Jade's room.
Grace walked closer to Jade, who was still had her smile on her face.
"Honey you look..."
"Gorgeous?" Jade asked raising a brow at her mother.
"Perfect" Grace replied, a sweet smile placed on her face.
"Sist you really look dope" Kevin said as he also approached them.
"Thank you" Jade replied with a smile.
Her eyes fell on the man who was still sitted behind and her smile slowly turned nervous when he kept looking at her without saying a word like the others did.
"Jake?" She called out nervously.
"Amy, Jake's going to be here soon. Can please you hurry up" Jade pleaded for the upteenth time.
"Chill babe. He should know women take their time in looking pretty. So relax, even if he comes now he should wait, because that's what men are supposed to do; wait on their women" Amy stated as she continued with her work.
