Falling In Love With A Playboy..

6 - First Date

Chapter 6~First date

(Karl POV)

"Jianne, please meet my brother Jeremy, and bro, this is Jianne, my girlfriend." I said.

"Hello. It's so nice to see you again Jeremy." Jianne said.

"Oh hello, Jianne. We've met at school before right?" he said.

"Yup." she said.

"You didn't tell me you knew each other already, Jianne." me.

"I thought it's not him, you know, just a person with the same name. But I'm glad that it's you Jeremy. Thanks for watching over Karl the whole time. :)" she said thankfully.

"It's nothing, Jianne. I'm also glad that my brother chose a very nice girl as his girlfriend. Take care of him for me, huh?" Jeremy said.

She looked at me before answering.

"Of course. I'll take care of him." she stated.

I was so happy when I heard her say that. I slowly put my arms around her shoulders. She was surprised at first then looked at me sheepishly. I looked back at her as if reminding her that we're just doing that for the sake of everybody.

*ding dong ding dong*

Someone was at the door. Who could it be? It shouldn't be one of my girls right? I already dumped them all yesterday. I hope it's not one of them. Jeremy went to the door to open it. It was Sarah.

"Sarah, I'm glad you made it, I thought you were so busy with your work that you forgot our dinner together." Jeremy said and hugged her.

Jianne looked at me. I smiled at her as we sat down in the dining table. Sarah noticed the two of us in the dining room.

"Oh we have a visitor? Hi there girl." she smiled at Jianne.

She smiled back and greeted her.

"Hello. I'm Jianne.. Karl's--"

"my GIRLFRIEND." I cut her off then I held Jianne's hand and our fingers were intertwined. I raised it to be emphasized and let Sarah see it.

"Oh, I see. Congratulations to the two of you." she said and faked a smile.

Jianne must have noticed it too so she stayed silent. I didn't let go of her hand until we began to eat.

The seating arrangement was: Me and Jianne sitting beside each other, across me was Sarah and beside him was Jeremy.

We ate in awkward silence. Jeremy felt the tense among us and coughed.

"Uhmm. So how did you two meet?" he was talking about me and Jianne.

"At school.." her.

"At the café.." me.

We looked confusedly at each other and then laughed.

"Hahaha. Yeah, I first saw Jianne at the café. She was working there. Right, babe?" I said.

"I know him for a long time already. I first saw Karl at the university gym when he was teaching the freshmen Arts students major in Dancing." she revealed which made me surprised.

"Wow. I didn't know you had known me first. Ahh, it must be the other way around." I chuckled.

"It's fine, I like you since I first saw you dancing." woah, is she telling this for the act or for real?

"You're so sweet, babe. :)" I can't help but smile at her.

"Uhhmm, excuse me guys. We're still here, remember?" Jeremy reminded us.

"Oh, sorry." we said in chorus.

I saw Sarah just stared blankly at her food. She looked pissed. Maybe our plan was working. We'll just continue like this and then, everything will turn out fine in the end.

We finished eating dinner and then my brother served us some soft vanilla ice cream. I saw Jianne's eyes glowed when she saw the vanilla ice cream in the table.

"Babe, your favorite. :)" actually, that was just my guess, a wild guess. I hope she really likes ice cream.

"Uwaaa! Heavenly ice cream, I missed this! Thanks Jeremy. :)" she said.

It's great that I guessed it right. I took a spoonful of the ice cream and was about feed Jianne. She looked at me and I smiled, a smile which tells her to go on with the flow.

"Say 'ah'.." I said.

She opened her mouth shyly, and then I shoved the ice cream into her mouth. I saw her reaction and she's like a child, a cute baby who had just tasted the best ice cream in the world. She's so adorable. I think I'm falling for her cuteness even more.

"Thanks babe." she said with her eye-smile.

"You guys are so sweet, and I'm jealous. Haha." Jeremy stated.

Sarah stood from her chair.

"Jeremy, I need to go. I forgot that I have to do something back home, and tomorrow's the deadline." Sarah said.

"You sure?" he asked her and she nodded without looking.

"Okay, let me drive you home." he offered.

"No need, I'll just take the cab. Just stay here with them. I'll be fine." she insisted.

She walked away and he followed her to the door. Jeremy came back with an I-don't-know-what-happened look. Jianne and I also stood up and told him that it's late and Jianne needs to go home already. She bade goodbye to him, bowed, then shooked his hand.

I grabbed her hand from him then intertwined our fingers. It's a reaction that even I can't control. I'm being weird, I know.

We got to my car and I opened the door for her. When I got to the driver's seat, I can't help but let out a big sigh. It feels like I'm released from the prison. We're close to letting Sarah fall out of love with me.

"Why are you sighing?" she asked me.

"I'm just happy. I do hope that Sarah can get over me really soon. If that happens, maybe I'll be the happiest person on earth." I smiled.

"Why would you be the happiest person? Do you have something in mind that you're not telling me?" she asked, being very curious.

"It's a secret." me.

"Aish. Okay, don't tell me. I don't care anyways." she said, pissed up.

"You'll know it soon." I guaranteed her.

I started my car and head towards her house. It's already 10pm when we got to her house. I stopped the car in front of their gate then I noticed that she was already asleep. I stared at her sleeping face, she's like an angel.

Her eyes were fluttering as if she was dreaming really deep. My eyes fell down to her nose, she has a nice nose, then to her lips. Her lips.. Oh God, I just can't control myself anymore.

I kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Thank you for this night, Jianne. I love you. :)"

She was very tired because of our first date that she didn't even woke up when I carried her and brought her inside her room. Her grandmother asked me who I was, and I told her I was her friend.

I went back home with a wide smile painted on my lips. When I laid down in my bed. I thought of her again.

I asked myself if this was what it feels when you're in love. It felt really great. I want to feel this forever, I want to love her forever.
