What are you doing asked Jake.
Am trying to make pasta from scratch .
Can I join you it seems like fun and those two are still on the boat. Just show me what to do.
Sure:I said.
Was everything with the text.
It was from my friend , she forwarded my sister message to me. she was asking if am coming home next week. It my dad birthday.
So are you going home.
Not sure.
Why if I may asked.
Me and my dad don't get along ,he wanted me to be a lawyer and I turned out to be a chef, am his biggest disappointment.
Trust me I know the feeling, my dad wanted me to be a doctor like him : I didn't . actor turned business man. It was until I was famous before my dad and I become close.
I don't think me and judge knight will ever be close.
Your dad is a judge he asked.
Yeah, he's retired now and has his own firm in Chicago.
You can't never tell Gemma he said.
If only he knows half of what that man and his daughter did to me. He treats me like am not child.
Can you help use those muscles on this dough for me please.
Sure chef .
When Jake smile you could see his dimples. I have seen Jake picture: he's attractive man ,I just don't watch his movies.
He tie his hair, I could see his jawline. Jake mom is Korean while his dad is white. He's eyes brown but when he was outside I could see those eyes under the sun you could his eyes are like hazel brown:he got best of those world.
He busy with the dough, you are doing it . Let me show you. Move aside Jake.
He pulls me forward and he stood behind me , see this how you roll the dough .
Can you show me by me puting my hands on your hands.
I nodded to agreed to what he said.
Him behind me and his head on top of my shoulder made my heart flutters.
So I have to do it like this he said.
Yee I struggle to find the right word out.
If I stayed in front of him: he might hear my heartbeat. Excuse me I said as I moved towards the fridge and opened it to cool down.
Are you okay Gemma
Am fine, just need to find some things in the fridge.
It is fine now he asked.
Yes; we just need to put in the fridge, he walked towards the fridge and stood behind me again with his head towering my head.
What have you been looking in the fridge since.
Found it, just took a pepper out and walked faster to the stove.
What next chef he asked .
Why is Jake all in a chatting mode today: yesterday he was very quiet I asked myself. I was trying to read him but Jake was just staring at me. I thought when I got him staring he will looked away but no he didn't.
Why are you staring at me like that I asked him.
Can I stare at a beautiful woman when I see one.
I smiled sheepishly.
He sat Infront of me as I made the creamy garlic and mushrooms bacon tagliatelle.
Luca came in , I think he saw the way Jake was looking at me.
We didn't even notice he was back inside.
Until he said that smells amazing.

Evan is still outside on the phone.
So chef is it ready Jake asked.
Yes it almost ready.

Yes chef I said.
He set the table for me .

I was all giggling at anything he says.
Evan came in he didn't notice anything. He just sat down to eat.

Sure , I stood up to dish more plate for Evan. When Evan said I and Jake looked good together I find myself blushing, Jake even smile .
I went to clean up the plates, Luca offered to help .
Jake came back with his laptop and went to make popcorn and juice.

I will be right up too, Gemma do you mind watching a movie with me he asked.
What movie are we watching.
Sit here: he pulled me to sit next to him, cover my legs with blanket as we watched the notebook.
I thought it was one of your movie, I was about to stand up. I don't want to see you kissing.
Shoot Gemma why did you say that.
So if you see me kissing someone will you get jealous he asked.
I turned almost red when he said that. I mean it will be weird right. You are sitting next to me.
You have nothing to worried about I don't watch my movie .
We watched the notebook together, before we said good night.
