I was home alone and bored out of my mind. Things seemed stable with the investigation and I had to wait for Jake to contact me. I didn't want to spend the day waiting for his message... I wanted to get all this off my mind, even if just for one day. I decided to go shopping, I needed a nice jacket for the winter that was approaching and it seemed like the perfect time to have some sort of normal day.
I went to the closest mall and entered a few shops, looking at every item, touching and trying every warm jacket I found. I felt strange, like I wasn't supposed to be there, while Hannah and Richy were missing I was shopping... I tried to shake those thoughts out of my head, in that moment there was nothing I could do.
Jake: Bea, I found something regarding Ted Madruga. We should discuss this.
A couple of hours go by and I still hadn't find anything I liked. I went to one last shop and a specific item caught my atention, I had to think of Jake while I saw it... There I was again, stuck in those same thoughts I tried so hard to suppress. Might as well buy it and go home, what a wasted day, I said to myself.
I arrived at home and displayed what I had bought on the counter, it was so beautiful. I was reminded that I hadn't check my phone at all, so I reached for it and, as always, my heart skipped a beat as I saw a notification from Jake.
Bea: Jake, just saw your message.
Jake: Don't worry, I've came to the conclusion that what I found was not relevant at all. Jake: Ted was incarcerated for drug possession but I don't think that is relevant to our case.
Bea: Oh ok, sorry I didn't help you.
Jake: We can still talk :)
Bea: I would like too 😊
Jake: So what were you doing?
Bea: I went shopping, needed to buy some clothes. Bea: And you?
Jake: Investigating ;) Jake: Found anything you liked?
Bea: Not much, just bought a set of.. clothes.
Jake: I'm sure you look wonderful in them :)
Bea: Jake...😳
Jake: Sorry... I did not mean to cross any line.
Bea: It's not that Bea: You realize that you don't know what I bought, right?
Jake: Doesn't matter, I think you would look good in anything Bea.
Bea: Jake...

Jake is now offline
Great, I shouldn't have done that... I could've just ignore what he said, now I made it weird! Argh! I yell in frustration while throwing my phone to the kitchen table.
In reality Jake went offline because he instinctively closed his laptop, shutting down the connection.
I was speachless for about 5 minutes trying to wrap my head around what just happened. What did I just say?! I didn't mean it that way! Well... But why would she even send me that?! What does she want? Jake spoke to himself not realizing that he was as red as a tomato.
Wait... why did she buy that? The thoughts of another man touching Bea flooded Jake's mind making him angry and hopeless. She can't... I can't bare it. But why would she send me this, she knows I like her, doesn't she? Is she trying to mess with me? Jake buried his head in his arms and stayed there for a while.
After calming down, he remembered that he never replied and just went offline.
Jake opened his laptop.
Jake: Sorry, I did not meant to go offline like that. Jake: I... I was just not expecting that.
Bea: I shouldn't have sent that, I don't know what I was thinking
Jake: However, I stand by what I said. Jake: Just so you know ;)
Bea: Oh... Bea: Thanks 😳
Jake: Bea... Do you have a date?
Bea: What? No! What are you insinuating?! Bea: Actually, don't answer that 😡
Jake: I just thought... Nevermind. Jake: You don't need to justify yourself to me.
Bea: Jake... Bea: I thought about you when I saw this and I bought it, ok?! I don't know why
Bea: Am I making you uncomfortable? Say something, please Bea: Jake, you can tell me anything, you know I like you Bea: I've told you before...
Jake: You're not making me uncomfortable. I'm happy that you though of me. Jake: For a moment I imagined that to be for someone else and I couldn't stand it... Jake: I like you too, Bea. More than you can imagine :)
Bea: I love it when you're jealous 🤭 🥰
Jake: So you like to provoque me? :P
Bea: Absolutely I do... It's somewhat exciting
Jake: You know that two can play that game, right?
