Chereads / A story of secret love / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

As soon as Susan gets into her room, changes her clothes, and heads to her mom's bakery, which is far from her home, within a walkable distance of 15 minutes, where she works part-time helping her mom with her work to get some extra money.

Colt works in the bakery and informs Susan about her orders for her muffin. Her mom asks her, "It's your recipe, dear. Be quick. Orders should be delivered soon."

When she finds Aaron's address on her deliveries, Susan has a mischievous smile and rushes into the kitchen to begin her work.

After finishing baking, Colt helped her pack the orders and handed them to the delivery boy, Phil, asking him to deliver them with care.

Jake and Aaron arrived home after finishing their soccer practice. Mr. Grady, a helper at home, arranged the table for dinner. They both get freshened up and settle for dinner before Jake asks if his order has been delivered. On the table, Mr. Grady served muffins.

Jake had a thought after noticing the two different flavors of muffins on his table, 'why did he get two when I ordered only chocolate muffins?'

Grady informed Jake that he found a note with the blueberry muffins. Jake took the message from Grady.

Jake read the note and was delighted to know it was from her, his Secret admirer. She wrote, "Congrats! I am looking forward to your next tournament, which is in next month. I hope you win that too. Enjoy the muffins, and have nice dreams. Good night." He smiled.

Aaron asked Jake noticing a big smile on his face, "Was it from her?" he nodded.

Aaron added, "How did she guess? She knows more about you. I think she is in love with you." he had a bite of the muffin and enjoyed it, "Hmm...It's delicious. Had a different taste which is available at other stores."

Jake was not surprised by Aaron's words because he knew she was really into him. She is unique, unlike others who use their charms to attract him. She chooses words that touch him emotionally and encourages him to do better and be the best for her.

The fact that he liked and valued her was hidden deep down inside. He wishes to tell her what he feels for her if he gets a chance to meet her.

Aaron asks Jake, watching him lost in his thoughts, gazing at the muffin in his hand, "Are you lost? Why aren't you responding? Don't you want to know who she is?"

Jake nodded with excitement, "I'm desperate to meet her. I don't know, how?"

"She knew mostly everything about you and congratulated you by sending flowers for every match. I think she is someone around you." Aaron said and took another bite of muffin.

After thinking for a while, Aaron's words make sense to Jake, who decides to find her no matter how much longer it might take and starts by looking around him.

Here, Susan returned home along with her mom and had dinner together. Her mom Elina informed her, "Your father called me and asked about you."

"I'll call him later, mom." After finishing their dinner, they both left for their rooms. Susan saw her mobile was on the charging point and checked on it. It shows missed calls from Evelyn, her half-sister.

Susan called her back and asked about her dad, "how is he doing?"

Evelyn on call, "Are you that busy not to have enough time to call and talk to him? he misses you." she asked rudely.

"Eve, don't be rude. I know you missed me too. You can't be low if you say to me directly."

Evelyn, "Fine. I agree. I asked you to stay with us for a few days. But you rejected it. Dad was going on a business trip next month. He wants to be with you before he leaves."

"Fine, I'll visit before he leaves for his trip. Take care. Love you, bye." Ended her call.

In her backpack, Susan found the rose given to her by Jake before she went to bed. Thought herself, 'It should be nice if today's proposal could be the real one.' She secured his rose in her drawer safely and retired for the day.
