Not good enough

7. The Interview

We left the mall , with Jake's clothes in my hand and my clothes in his hands , I bought a few jeans, two jackets, 5 tops and 2 pairs of shoes . Jake suggested we buy some underwear but of coarse I said that will be only a girl's thing and that we weren't dating , am I right or am I wrong?

We left the mall , called a taxi and got back home. I called Jem and asked her about exactly what time I could be there and she invited me over for dinner , then I get to know more about her and her family.

" Jakey" I call him out.

He turns around and faces me.

"Yeah?"

" We are going for a dinner tonight at Jem , a friend of mine for the job , and she invited you to come with , since we are living together , so wanna come?" I hug him giving him my special puppy eyes.

"Alright , fine I'll go" he replies with a smile , kissing my forehead.

"Thank you , now what do you want to eat?" I ask him getting into the kitchen.

" Mm, you are not making anything missy!" he says pulling me out the kitchen. I groan and he chuckles.

"No , I'm hungry, Jaaake" I whine , I was hungry and I wanted food.

" We just ate , and in an hour we will be leaving to get food , so go and take a shower because you are sweating from all the walking today , dress in a pretty dress, it's an interview for a job not a sports marathon." He chuckles , pulling me into a tight hug then pushing me into the bathroom.

*30 minutes later*

I get out the shower then blowdry my hair , and begin to curl it . I pick out my favourite dress which is a Black dress with lace polka dots and a pain of white high heels that I bought earlier on , and wore a necklace that my mother gave me two days before she left me and my dad.

I get out and see Jake in a tuxedo , wearing black shoes and a gorgous watch , he had his hair neatly combed out , he looked so handsome , he looked very mature as well . I catch him staring at me as he caught me as well.

" You look ... beautiful " he whisperd

" You look... handsome... we should get going , I'll call a a taxi ." I replied.

He did look good, the suit fitted him perfectly.

The cab arrived and we got in, it was a 15 minute drive and on the way me and Jake talked about the sweetest things and once we arrived , I texted Jem , just in case she wasn't home, then rang the door bell.

Jem opened the door and she gave me a hug then I introduced Jake. They shook hands which made me giggle .

I walked in and the sweet smell of the food made my stomach grumble, indicating that I am hungry. I met the dad and he seemed pretty nice, the mother was still cooking, but then when she saw me from a long distance  she walked towards me.

" Good eveni-" she stops completly as soons as she sees me, she then stares at me for a while then blinks , like she thinks she is seeing things, then the family notices.

This can't be her , she was never to be seen after that day . How?

"Honey whats wrong?" the dad asks with concerned eyes

"Yeah mom whats wrong? " Jem continues with a confused look.

The mother looks at my necklace then a tear falls down her cheek.

She looks into my eyes deeply, looking for something in them ... she then adds,

"Lisa?"

"Mom?"
