Scared to love

Jake's POV

I regret suggesting the dress now that I see her in it again. She looks so good in it that, if I weren't the one driving, I would keep staring at her. "Are you okay Jake?", she suddenly asks. "Yeah why?", I reply after clearing my throat. "Just making sure", she says in that sweet voice of hers. I put my hand on her thight and squeeze it lightly before telling her that I'm really fine. When we arrive at the restaurant, I go around the car and open her door while she's looking if her hair is still okay. "Thanks darling", she says when she gets out. God, I love it when she calls me that. I look in her eyes and I can't help imagining kissing her again. It's like she knows what I'm thinking because we both lean in at the same time, smashing our lips together. Only when we pull apart, I remember where we are. "We should get inside", I say. "Yeah we should", she replies. I take her hand and together we walk to the entrance of the restaurant where we arrive at the same time as Harper. "Hey Jake, you also just arrived?", she asks when she sees us."Yeah, I guess you just arrived too?", I reply. "Sure did", she answers.

"Oh sorry, I should introduce you guys", I say. "Harper, this is Chloë. Chloë, this is Harper." "Damn Jake, she looks even better in real life", Harper remarks. "Hi, I'm Harper, basically his work sister", she says to Chloë while going to hug her. "Hi! I'm Chloë, his uh girlfriend", Chloë responds, sounding unsure. "Don't worry girl, I know about the arrangement but I won't tell anyone", Harper says. "Oh right Jake told me, I forgot that it was you sorry", Chloë answers. "No worries but maybe we should go to the others, they might be waiting", Harper suggests. She goes inside first and I put my hand on Chloë her lower back and push her lightly to follow Harper. "There he is, the man of the evening!", my boss exclaims when he sees me enter. "Good to see you here too Harper", he says when we arrive in front of him. "And who might this lovely young lady be?", he asks while pointing at Chloë. "This is my girlfriend sir, her name is Chloë", I reply. "Ah how nice to meet you, I'm Tom, Jake's boss", he says while shaking her hand. "It's very nice to meet you too sir", she responds.

He leads us to the few empty spots at the table and tells us to sit down. I sit to the right of Chloë so that I'm the closest to the boss and the client. I notice that Harper sits down on the other side of Chloë and they start talking while I'm talking with both my boss and the client. Chloë has her hand resting on my thigh, making it look more believable that we're a couple. I put my arm behind her on her chair while talking with other people. "Wait really, Jake didn't tell me that", I hear her say. "What did I not tell you?", I ask her. "That Harper is gay. Why didn't you tell me that?", she replies. "Because I didn't know if she would've liked it if I told you", I answer. "It's fine Jake, she knows now", Harper says. They start bringing our food not too long after that so we concentrate on the food instead of the conversations.

Roomies 😝

Dakota: "Guys, just letting you know, but Matthew and I are going out so you'll be home alone tonight😉"

"Make sure to know your drinking limit": Me

Dakota: "I know mine, it's Matthew that doesn't know his"

Matthew: "I know mine too, I just always choose to go over it"

Dakota: "You better not puke in my car when we go back home"

Matthew: "I won't don't worry🙄"

Dakota: "By the way, how's the dinner going?"

Dakota: "Not too bored yet?"

"The dinner is going fine, but I have to go now, boss wants to talk": Me

That was a lie, my boss doesn't want to talk to me but I wasn't feeling like texting them anymore. "We'll have the house to ourselves", I whisper in Chloë's ear after I put my phone away. "Where are they going?", she asks. "Don't know, out they said", I reply. "Good to know", she says while looking deeply in my eyes. I have to swallow hard and do my best to not kiss her again right here and now. God we maybe shouldn't have done that night in Spain because now I know how she feels and tastes and it's the only thing I can think about sometimes. Maybe, if I'm lucky, I can have her again tonight since we'll be having the house to ourselves but I'm not counting on it. I feel her hand on my thigh, going higher than before and she's almost touching my crotch. "If you go any higher, you'll be in trouble when we get home", I whisper to her. I see a small smirk forming on her face before she moves her hand again. I have to control myself to not make any noise because that just might be very embarrassing for me.
