Aurora frowned immediately when she set
her eyes on Jake. She turned to Angel
shooting her a deadly look but Angel was
quick to avoid her intense glare.
Angel invited them to sit so they could have
dinner together. Jake sat on the chair
opposite Aurora facing her directly.
He kept staring at her. Aurora could feel his
gaze so she tried every way possible to
avoid looking at him.
Aurora please pass Jake the salad bowl.
Angel stated nicely. She hesitated a bit
before passing it to him without looking at
him. "Here you go". But unfortunately for her
Jake touched her hand which made her
heart skip a bit. She hesitated a bit before looking him the eye.
They kept staring at each other communicating with their eyes. They were
able to see the pain in each other's eyes.
Aurora turned immediately,she was scared
she might start crying.
"Baby what will you have?"... Maxwell asked
Aurora. "I will only have juice, I have lost my
appetite.
Hey but...."Don't try to convince me Angel you
are at fault here remember? Aurora cut in. "Ok fine but you gotta eat something.
I'm fine the juice will do...she answered slightly irritated. "Aurora I know this
question my sound a bit personal but I'm
curious to know and I seriously want to ask.
"Of course Maxwell you can ask me
anything after all you are like a brother to
me apart from we being friends.
Would you like to get married? Jake raised
his head from his plate and turned to
Maxwell with a questioning look.
Maxwell what kind of question is that? Of
course I would love to get married and to
Mark Wilson. He is one handsome guy and
an eligible bachelor.
O God did I just say that in front of Jake,the
conversation I had with Angel is still
lingering in my brain making me blurter
nonsense.
Angel squeat the water in her mouth
making her cough,wha...what did you just
say? she asked perplexed.
Aurora could feel Jake's intense gaze on
her. He twisted his hands in a fist and sat
there with gritted teeth,the veins on his forehead appeared he looked like he
would kill someone if he had the chance.
Maxwell felt sad for asking such a question
infront of his best friend. He wasn't
expecting Aurora to mention Jake's name
because of their fight,but for her to mention
the name of Jake's rival, that was too much
and pretty much disappointing.
Maxwell could feel Jake's anger and fury.
Excuse me" Jake excused himself. He left the table without looking at anyone. "I'm also off to bed,Aurora announced.
Aurora at least finish the Juice. "I'm full
Angel. Goodnight.... Aurora stormed out of the dining hall.
Jake barged in and took a sit. "Hey bro
where did you run off to? Maxwell asked concerned. I needed fresh air.
I'm sorry Jake,I shouldn't have asked her
such a question infront of you. I knew she
wouldn't mention your name but at least I
just wanted her to be like she is not ready
or something...I don't know but..
Or were you expecting her to mention your
name? No l wasn't, because I know she is
mad at me but for her to mention his name
o mann I can't tell you how I'm feeling now
bro.
Angel do you know anything about this?
"Why are you asking me I know nothing."
