Secret Love

chapter 7

The next few days swang by so fast. Today was Friday and we were getting ready for the birthday dinner. Serena was coming to Jats birthday the dinner since she literally begged me to bring her along, but not without asking Jays mom first.

Serena and Jays friendship was still the same but ours was still kind of  Intense. we hadn't talked much since the argument and this was really getting  uncomfortable. I was planning on talking to him before the party to clear things between us.

"Am so excited for the party, Jay is going to be my date and this is the right time to make my first move ," Serena said smiling from ear to ear.

"Dont get to excited,remember he is only keeping the promise he made you ,dont get it twisted," i told her trying to knock some sense into her.

We were in my room finding  me an outfit for the party. Serena had hers ready and decided to choose one for me since apparently, i wasn't that good  when it came to fashion.

Serena was busy in my wardrobe while i sat on the bed watching her.

"I know what am doing Sky, dont reign on my parade at least not today. Anyway this will look so good on you," she said holding up a little short black dress.

"Are you kidding me?! I said almost dropping my jaw, are you planning on selling  me or something? That is not even my dress, and anyway my dad will never let me go out in that."

"Come on stop exaggerating! and of course  i brought some of my dresses for you to choose from. There's no way you own a party dress."

"Hey, my clothes arent' that bad," i said defending myself.

She wasn't wrong though ,i liked been simple and honestly, i dont even know how i became friends with Serena since she was the opposite of me.

"Okay... how about this," she said showing me another short black dress with a golden belt.

"The only difference  between that and the other dress is the belt Serena, dont you own any  appropriate dress?"

"I know you did not just call my clothes inappropriate ? She said crossing her arms across her chest angrily.

"You know i didn't mean it that way," i told her.

"I will only accept your apology if you put on one of my dresses,"she said still upset.

"Serena ,i can't."

"Come on ,am taller than you so the dress will not even be that short on you."

"Okay...i guess i'll wear whatever you want," i said feeling defeated.

I had no choice but to say yes to her, we all know she never took no for an answer. She paired the dress with  black boot and a coloured jacket that i owned and it was quite a match.

Within a couple of minute we were in Jays house for dinner. Jays house had always been a second  home for me. The house was welcoming from the open door. The walls were filled with photographs of the family. The floor was an old fashioned parquet with a blend of deep homely browns. From all the decorations and arrangements, one could tell this this  house was clearly made with love."

The food was amazing as usual and our parents were enjoying themselves. Jay didn't seem to be in a very good mood and i had to hold my thought about talking to him. I guess Serena also noticed his mood since she didn't bother him much.

I tried so hard not to look at him  but i found myself glancing at him fom time to time . I really hated seen him so down and all i wanted was wrap my arms around him so tight to  make him feel better, but i knew this wasn't the time or place for that.

After dinner we had the cake and Serena and i excused ourselves to go and get ready for the party.

Serena wore a skater skirt paired with a halter top , a leather jacket and black shiny heels. The reason she wore the leathet jacket was to impress jay since he loved them.

She looked amazing!

The dress she choose for me was  really nice. She applied my make up  after hers, letting my hair down so that it could go with the outfit. It felt really weird since i always liked my hair in a ponytail, but i had to admit i looked good.

"Jay is waiting for us outside,he just texted," Serena said.

"Ok lets go," i said as we left since we were done anyways.

Jay was standing outside leaning on his car. He was wearing blue khaki pants with a light blue slim fit shirt and black shoes that matched his belt. He was literally taking my breath away right now.

I noticed his eyes take in my  outfit as we walked towards him  and the way he looked at me gave me shivers.

"Wow! You look..... i dont even have the words," Jay said looking into my eyes with intensity i hadn't seen before.

"Oh God i think am going to faint! i hope Serena hasn't noticed how nervous i am"

"Umm... You think so ?" i asked him nervously.

"Yes..i mean you look just perfect! that's got to be the sexiest dress I've ever seen you in," he said eyeing me from head to toe.

"You dont look to bad yourself, " i told him meaning every word.

"Yeah..you look gorgeous Jay," Serena said oggling at him .

"You to Serena,you look amazing as usual. We should leave before we get late," he said opening the back seat door for us.

"Give me a minute, i have to tell my Dad that we're leaving," i said as i turned heading to Jays house.

"I already told him, and he made me  promise not to take my eyes off you for a second,"Jay said.

"Okay then, lets go."

" Chris will be at the party to," Serena said as Jay started the car.

"Nice, atleast I'll have someone to keep me company when you two ditch me," i told her not knowing how i was going to act around him considering what happened last time.

" Tgers no way well leave you alone. Looking like that, all the guys will be all over you," Jay said looking at me through the front mirror and i couldnt help but notice how lovely his eyes were.

Oh no , i was starting to day dream again.

"Hey..am not a baby and you won't be to far from me. "
 
"And, chris will be with her to," Serena added.

"How do we know Chris wont be bringing one of his girlfriends? " Jay asked.

"It doesnt matter... I'll be fine, and that is the end of the topic,"i said putting my foot down.

Thankfully that was over but i thought i overheard Jay murmur something like sturborn.

Well that's  what he gets for trying to be so Overprotective.
