DUSKWOOD: CHASE

Teased

My face turned red after realizing that they (my friends) too have already read Jake's private message. With a shaking hands I immediately sent them message.

Me: Guys, uhm on the second thought I was wrong. 🙈

Jessy: Huh? 😳

Cleo: What do you mean? 🤔

Me: Uhm the link is broken, there's no message

Lilly: oh really? 😏

I can imagine Lilly's face right now I swear

Me: Yeah, yeah... I definitely am wrong. 😅

Lilly: So the photo doesn't say anything? 😉

Me: No, no, there's nothing. 🫣

Please believe me guys 🙏🙏🙏

Jessy: I don't think its broken. I just tried it and there's definitely a message🤭

Cleo: Really? 😱

Jessy: Yeah. It says...

Me: Jessy! Wait! Stop!

Lilly: wait for me. Stay away from Phil and Frank. I love you

Lilly: 🤭

Cleo: woah that's right! I just tried it
🤯

Jessy: 🤭🤭🤭

Me: this is embarrassing 🙈

Lilly: I always imagine Jake is a timid guy. I didn't expected my brother is this forward 🤭

Me: stop teasing me already 😑

I can feel my cheeks heating up more and my heart racing like crazy.

Cleo: Isn't that good news? He is informing you that he is safe 🙂

Lilly: with a bonus i love you information 🤫🤭

Oh God Lilly!!

Me: Yes. I'm very happy he is safe.

Lilly: I can imagine how happy you are 😉

Jessy: She turned to a tomato for sure 🤭🤭🤭

Me: stop it 😑

Lilly: You see that Dan? My brother loves her, your ship is going to sink  #teamjakeftw! 🤪

Lilly and Jessy seem to have no plans to stop teasing me.

Our chats stopped when for some reason no more messages were coming and my screen started to act up and Jake comes online.

Oh my heart! Its beating wildly in excitement. 

Jake: hi :)

Me: Jake! I'm so glad you are safe! 

My heart feels like it's about to explode from happiness and relief.
I can feel my tears brimming already. thank God he managed to escape! 

Jake: I told you, I won't let myself get caught, not that I have you now.

Can I say he is killing me right now? 

Jake: I reached out to you earlier than I supposed to because.

Jake: I miss you.

Me: I miss you too Jake. I was dead worried about you.

Jake: I know love. I'm so sorry. 

My heart skipped a beat when he called me love, I can't explain the sensation he is giving me. 

Jake: however I only have limited time as my pursuers are still after me.

Me: I understand, where are you? Are you safe?

Jake: yes I'm safe

Jake: We have something to discuss

Me: What is it?

Jake: About Allan's offer

Me: How did you know about that?

Jake: I have my ways :)

Jake: I'd like you to decline Allan's offer.

Me: why?

Jake: It's too dangerous for you to involve yourself on that.

Me: But that also means, I can use that for my advantage.

Jake: Can you please elaborate?

Me: if I accept Allan's offer, it can come in handy when the time comes.

Jake: I won't allow you to put yourself in danger because of me.

Me: I'm willing if it means that can help you in the future.

Jake: No. I will find a way, I promise.

Me: But Jake....

Jake: Please reconsider.

Jake: one more thing.

Me: what is it?

Jake: I saw the headline photo. Phil embracing you. 

Me: I can explain! Its not what it looks like! 

Jake: I don't like seeing you being touched by other man.

Me: are you jealous?

Jake: I'm not sure.

Me: Then why you don't like it? 

Jake: I just feel I don't like it.

Me: Then you are jealous. There's nothing wrong admitting it. 

Jake: Alright. I'm jealous. you know I never knew what jealousy is until I met you. 

Jake can you please stop making my heart beat like crazy? I'm running out of breath! 

Me: wait...how did you know about Frank?

Jake: =)

Jake: btw you look more beautiful when you're blushing because of me, love :)

Jake is offline

He didn't even answered! Ugh! and he even teased me of blushing! Wait...What?! How did he know I was blushing? Does that mean .. he is just nearby watching?

My eyes opened wide as I imagine him watching me somewhere. That sneaky Jake! I quickly ran to the windows and scanned my surrounding. Hoping to see him or any traces of him. Ugh! God of camouflage I wasn't able to find him. He is nowhere to be seen.
