Chapter 4

Hey, so for the readers of this story, I am so sorry it took this long to update. But please enjoy the chapter
~~~~~
The next day, you're eager. It's just Thursday, not too close to Saturday, but not too far. You're more than eager to talk to Jade about it; you've been bouncing off the walls all day and so far it's been a wonderful day for you and here's why:
-Nanna was feeling better
-Jade was going to ask Rose out
-You had the day off
You smiled to yourself, you hear the door open and there stands Jade, she looks awful. Her eyes were red like she was crying  but you can't imagine why..

[S]: Jade, re-live what just happened at work

After Jake gave you your goodbye kiss, you spotted Rose. She looked amazing. Almost better than normal, maybe she wanted to confess her feelings too!! That'd be amazing. Two lovers, from two different backgrounds. A classy, sarcastic, rich girl and a dorky, lower class coffee shop girl, bought together by a shop, the two soon find love. You sigh dreamily and rest your chin in your dainty palms, you walk over to her, a smile plastered on your face. You could smell your favorite perfume radiating off of her, this was ironic because you wore her favorite scent as well. You sat down and your smile grew. She looked up from her book,

"Morning Jade." She said, her voice was soft as usual
"Good morning Rose!!" You say brightly, this brought a smile to her face.
"Oh, Jade, I need your opinion on this," she said as she pulled a small white box from her bag. The box was wrapped neatly with a green bow. You nearly squealed. This just had to be for you.

"Could you try it on? The girl I got the gift for has green eyes, they're absolutely beautiful."

You blush, this was totally you. You can't think of another person with green eyes, well, no one besides Jake. But she didn't know Jake too well. "I'd love to try it on." You say, you're absolutely flushed. The necklace is a stainless steel butterfly. You gasp and cover your mouth, "This is beautiful Rose!" You squeal. "You really think so?" She asked in disbelief, you nod just as Kanaya walked in. You smile, you hadn't seen her in a long time, seeing an old friend made this all the better. But when Rose stood up and pecked her lips, your heart dropped and your skin turned cold. But your lips curled into a smile despite the growing pain..your smile felt forced, funny..your smile was using the same kind of force you used to hold back the tears.

"This is my girlfriend Jade. Her name is Kanaya." They held hands, they looked happy together. You were happy for them. "I've met her," You say, "You're really lucky, Rose is an amazing person." You blink a bit

"Yes, she is. We match on intellectual levels, we keep each other happy." Kanaya added, you keep your smile. "I can only imagine."

For the whole day those two were in the café talking, laughing, and sharing feelings. Kanaya was so lucky..you honestly wish this was you. But the girl you loved was taken by someone you couldn't even compete with, Kanaya was everything you weren't. She was tall, smart, pretty, and perfect for Rose. The day felt as if it dragged on. When you locked up shop for the night you ran home, cool air blowing into your eyes. Your hands shake as you unlock the door, Jake has a grin on his face and you look wrecked. You say nothing and walk into your room, you change into a tank top and bed shorts. You hold the pillow to your chest and decide to sob loudly into the pillow. Jake knocked lightly on the door and peaked inside. 

"Love..what's the matter?"

You open your arms, still sobbing loudly. He sits on your bed and hugs you, he lightly rubs your back.

"What's wrong with me..?" You ask, sniffling

"There is nothing wrong with you, you're kind, funny, beautiful..and your smile puts the stars to shame." Jake said, he wiped your tears away with his thumbs. "If I were any of those things someone would've dated me by now," Jake stayed silent for a bit.."Anyone would be lucky to date you." You smile a bit, "Thanks Jake."
