Chapter 4 Drastic Change
- Jean Verodine
- “Girlfriend?” His mother asked.
- “Nice to meet you, Mrs. Cost-“
- “I’m not Mrs. Coster anymore darling, my name is Adeline Conor” She smiled and I nodded.
- “I’m sorry, Ms. Conor” I said quite embarrass.
- “Would you like to sit with us?” I asked politely and she patted my hand that she held since earlier.
- “No, no. I’m with my friends and we’re going to visit my friend’s house. They’re waiting for me outside, I just want to see who’s my son with because he has been so secretive these days.” She said and I can’t help but smile awkwardly.
- “I was going to tell you soon.” Blake acted and I wanted to kill him this second.
- “Nice to meet you Jean, but I need to go. We need to have a dinner sometime.” She said excited.
- “Will do.”
- “That’s great. I’ll let you two have a nice lunch.” She smiled and looked at Blake smiling widely.
- “Bye mom.” Blake hugged her mom again and she waved at us for one last time and left.
- “Girlfriend?” I asked Blake in a really angry tone.
- “I’m going to rip your head off!” I took a deep breath and looked away to let down my emotion.
- “Be my fake fiance, just 3 months.” He said and that got me enough. I stood up from my seat and looked at him seriously.
- “I don’t have any appetite anymore, goodbye Blake, I hope you find a bride and please don’t bo-“
- “I’ll give you anything that you want, you name it.”
- “I’m not a gold-digger Blake, find someone who is willing to be your bride.” I sighed and took my bag with me. I walked out from the restaurant but suddenly my body froze when someone stood in front of me.
- “Hello baby.” I looked at him in horror. My body froze and it was starting to numb.
- “Jean” I turned to the back to see Blake calling me and I quickly walked back to Blake.
- “Blake” My breath got hitch.
- “Why are you so pale?” He asked and I turned back to that person again but I found nothing. He’s gone, how did he know that I was here?
- “What happen?” Blake asked but I still looked around me.
- “Can you drop me home? NO, no! Don’t drop me home, let’s- let’s go to your house!” I said suttering completely scared.
- “Come on.” Blake took my hand and pulled me to his car, I looked around to see if that man still there.
- How did he got out from jail?
- “Jean” I flinched hearing Blake’s voice, I turned to him.
- “Are you okay? What happen to you?” He asked and I just looked at him blankly. He opened the car door for me and I got in.
- “Blake” I called him as he got in.
- “Yeah?”
- “Let’s get married.” I said because this is the only way that I can get protection.
- “What?”
- “Let’s get married.” I turned to him and he raised his eyebrow.
- “Jean you jus-“
- “Give me a house in Swiss or New Zealand or somewhere far from here after 3 months.” I said seriously.
- “Why a house? In New Zealand?”
- “Do you agree or not?” I asked ignoring his question.
- “I thought you don’t want a house or things like that.”
- “When do you want to get married?” I asked and he looked at me suspicious.
- “Are you seriously want to do this because you rejected the offer like 5 minutes ago? Why the sudden change?” Blake asked again.
- “Let’s make the contract tonight, I’ll be your puppet and all you need to do is to buy me a house somewhere far.”
- “Why?” He asked
- “I won’t answer that, so deal?” I asked as I put my hand in front of him.
- “Deal.” He shook my hand but still looking at me suspiciously.
- The whole ride to Blake’s house was quite, I didn’t want to start a conversation about this. My head was full about that man. I can’t believe that he’s out from jail. It’s impossible.
- “Jean”
- “Yeah?’ I turned my head to him and he pointed something. I turned to see that we’ve arrived at his house.
- “Thankyou.” I said and he got out from the car. I followed him and felt my body still shaking from earlier.
- “Jean, are you okay?” He asked and I nodded.
- “Yeah, can I stay here for awhile?” I asked Blake.
- “Yeah sure, I’ll show you the guess room.” He said and I followed behind him. I sighed bit time and can’t help but imagining a lot of bad scenarios in my head.
- “Jean, are you sure that you’re okay?”
- “Stop asking me that question!” I snapped and Blake looked at me confuse.
- “Sorry but can you let me rest?” I asked nicely.
- “Okay” He walked out from the room and I threw my bag on the floor. My legs went weak causing me to drop my body to the ground. I felt my body was shaking so badly because of the shock earlier.
- I’m in damn trouble
