My Baking Love ( On hold )

Chapter 5 : Mysterical huh?

JAKE'S POV

No one talked on the way back home. We reached home in about 20 mins. I went straight to my bedroom and locked up myself in the room. I jumped onto the bed and stared at the ceiling.

My thought was completely clouded by Linda's image. And for the first time ever since I came to manchester I explored around my room. My room was dominated by shades of brown colours. A king sized bed at the centre of the room. And a 50 inches plasma TV opposite to it. A coffee table with a black leather couch on either side of it. And of course a wardrobe that can fit all my clothes. My bedroom has an attached balcony to it with a spiral staircase down to the pool area and a beautifully landscaped garden beside it. I came out to our garden and sat on the white bench near the bushes. This has been my hiding place since childhood as this is out of sight from inside my house. My thoughts suddenly cleared when my phone beeped. I took it out to see who it is. I open the messaging app and looked at an unknown number. I opened and saw the message.

Hey Jake. This is Linda. Just thought of texting you. :)

Wowoowwow. ...........it's from Linda. I quickly saved her number and sent her a Text back.

Hey Linda. I got your txt. How about a coffee? May be if you are free........ :)

I kept my iPhone in my pocket and went to the kitchen area for lunch. I took a plate of chicken stew and lychee juice from the kitchen counter while my mom and dad sat in the dining table. I joined them and the lunch was obviously dead silent till my dad broke it.

"Son....as I said before you will have your engagement soon."

"What! Dad another time you wanna talk about it....then I'm not into this....I'm sorry. And mom I'm back to London tomorrow." I said walking towards the kitchen. I didn't want to hurt him but......its just I hate him when he talks about getting me married to some unknown woman. I stared at my plate for a few seconds thinking of what happened a few seconds ago out there. I drank some water and quickly went to my room. I switched on my 50 inches plasma TV and took out my iPhone to see if there was any txt from Linda. NONE. I watched some random stuffs n drifted to sleep.

I woke at the sound of some advertisement on the television. It was 6:30 in the evening . I started to pack my things when I got a call from Peter.

"Hello bro...All set for tomorrow huh?"

"Yeah..how did you know about it....oh....dad huh?"

" Yeah. But don't worry I'll be there by afternoon"

"Ohhh.....no buddy it's okay. I have informed for my private jet. So I think you should keep going with your vacation."

"Okay then...I'll join in a weeks time then bye..."

"Bye" I said and hung my phone. I finished my packing in an hour. But there was still no reply from Linda. I threw my iPhone on my bed when i heard a knock at the door. I opened it and to my surprise it was my friend Fedrick.

"Surprise...... Hello buddy......ughhh....Are you going back so soon" he asked me eyeing my big packed luggage, knowing that I came 2 days before.

"Um mm. .....yeah feddy........come in☺" I said scraching the back of my neck.

"But why.......ohhh jake please you just came before two days. Cummon man you are being ridiculous."

"Yaaa I know. But I need to go. I have some job over there in London feddy. You know my business is set up in London."

"Yeah...."he said rolling his eyes.

He sat on my favourite black leather couch beside the bed when my iPhone beeped. I knew it was from Linda and quickly grabbed from my bed where I threw it sometime before. I opened the message app and saw her text.
