Chapter Twenty Eight

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT:

It had been exactly a week since Jake had left for Taipei, Crystal and Brooke were sitting around at home, it was the weekend a Saturday night. Brooke wished she was out partying with her friends but she was home as she had her children, no big deal. She just hated sitting around at night thinking about Jake, wandering how his appointments werre going and what he was doing, she had not heard from him that day. So that night while she was sitting on the couch enjoying a glass of wine with Crystal she got the courage up to call him. He did say she could call him whenever she wanted to so she did.

"I'm going to give Jake a call"

"Are you, have you heard from him today?" asked Crystal

"No, so that's why I'm going to call him"

She dialed his cellphone number, she listened to the beeps as it went to the telephone exchange while it was connecting his number. It went straight to his voice mail. It was not his voice at the other end it was a ladies voice with a french accent stating the phone was switched off and to try again.

"That's bizar" said Brooke

"What? What's wrong" Crystal asked

"Well I just rung and it said it was switched off and to try again later. But the weird thing was that it was a lady with a very strong french accent"

"That's strange" said Crystal

"I'm gonna try again and you listen to it" Brooke said to Crystal

So she dialed the number again and quickly passed the cellphone to Crystal to hear the message.

"The number you are calling is currently switched of, please try again" in a very strong french accent

"Your right it's a french accent" said Crystal

"You know what I am getting that sick, gut ,feeling again, I don't believe he is in Taipei I think he is in France!"

"No!" Crystal said

"Yes! why would the voice message be in a french accent instead of chinese, it goes straight to the telephone exchange as to what country you are in if your phone is switched off" said Brooke

Her heart was racing and she was flushed and becomming hot, she felt embarrased that again this "ARSEHOLE" has lied again to her. They both sat in silence for a few minutes taking in what they had just found out.

"I'm going to call the phone company to see if what we are thinking is true" Brooke said to Crystal

So she called and an operator from the phone company Jake was with confirmed the worst.

Brooke was gutted, her heart sunk,she started to weep and was cursing Jake "I can't believe this Crystal, he has done it again and this time he is not going to get away with it! Does he truly think I'm an idiot and that I would not catch him out eventually!"

Brooke was ropable and extremely upset, she was in deep dispare and deeply shocked.

"I know where that "BASTARD" is, he is in the UK he mentioned to me a while back how he wanted to meet his biological father someday, it's insulting that he he would lie to me like this"

"I'm so sorry this keeps happening to you, I can't believe it either" said Crystal

"You know what? I am not going to mention this at all to him, I'll play the dumb blonde idiot that he seems to think I am, when he gets back that's when I'm gonna go off my head, just when he thinks his gotten away with it. I knew there was something fishy going on when he didn't have his bagage with him when I took him to the airport. It was all a big set up! he didn't want me to find out that he was going to the UK"

"There's nothing you can do about it now, don't get yourself all worked up and worried, he's gone for another two weeks, just play it cool" Crystal begged Brooke

"I will, I promise, I'm just so annoyed, he didn't tell me because he probably didn't want me to go with him! What kind of a relationship does he think this is? I don't think it's going anywhere, with all the lies and deceit, there's always something, I know one thing come next weekend and I am not going to be sitting around the house like the goody two shoes, devoted girlfriend, I'll get myself drunk and feel sorry for myself, it will be a week of torture with this eating into me"

That night Brooke couldn't sleep she was restless with thoughts going through her head about what she had discovered and thinking why he would treat her like this and lie to her like that. Why did she love him so much!!

The next morning Brooke's cellphone rung, she had the phone on her side table next to her bed just incase Jake rung throughout the night. Sure enough she looked at her caller ID and Jakes name came up she took a deep breath to calm herself down and answered the phone. She spoke briefly to him playing it ever so cool on how everything was going, he told her he missed and loved her and she said the same words back.
