The gangleader and me

Chapter 20

Cassandre POV 

My mouth was gaping open like a fish. My eyes were narrowed and I am pretty sure my whole face expression screamed confusion. Did I hear him right ? Did he just asked me on a date ? 

" Are you asking me on a first date ? " I asked with a voice that translated my shocked expression.

" Well, not a first date ! We've already have one at your place a few - " he started explaining but I cut him off. 

" Hang on Cowboy !" I said holding an accusing finger at his chest " That was not a date and I made it pretty clear ! I couldn't stand you back then." 

" Cowboy, huh ?" he asked with an amused smile on his face.

" Don't blame me ! I am still working on my american punchlines, ok ?" I replied.

" Yeah, well you still have work to do !" he laughed which made me roll my eyes. " And what do you mean you couldn't stand me ? I was awesome and still am. " he said puffing his chest and with a cocky smirk plastered on his adorable face. 

" Good way to feed your ego, M. Gangleader ! I think your shoulders are not broad enough to support your big head " I retorted motionning to his face.

He encircled his arms around my waist and pulled me to him. I yelped and realised that our faces were inches away from each other. He stared at my lips and my breathing got hard while I tried to focus on his eyes. 

" So you think I have a muscular body ?" he asked me smirking before pecking my lips. I just hummed in response savouring his lips on mine even for the few seconds. " So do I take that as a yes ? " he asked once more before kissing me more deeply. 

My arms went to circle his neck while my fingers played with his hair. We pulled away and he stared into my eyes once more while our forehead were touching. 

" Would you go on a date with me tonight ?" he asked hopeful of my answer. 

I wiggled a little from his hold and he let me go reluctantly. I didn't want to play easy to get and so I thought of a little plan to play with him a little ... I'm evil and I know it but it is not every day I got asked on a date by a greekgod ! So sue me ! 

I backed a little from him and pulled my best innocent eyes before responding to his question. 

" Tonight ? " I asked while rubbing the back of my neck nervoulsly. 

" Yeah ... Is there a problem ?" he asked back with  furrowed eyebrows

" It's just that I have a date tonight. " I answered while backing to the door. He looked me dead in thos eyes with anger showing. His hands clenching. I opened the door a little reading to burst away. 

" With who ?" he asked through clenched teeth and walking towards me.

" My bed !" I blurted out before laughing at his shocked expression and bolting through the door " And we are totally going to sleep together !" I yelled through my giggles and sliding down the stairs. 

I was making my way towards the kitchen still giggling at Jake's shocked face when arms wrapped around my waist and lifted me up.  I was turn around while I yelped (again) and came face to face with a smiling Jake. 

" You had me scared sweetheart." He said putting me down and pecking my lips " So what is your answer ?" he asked letting me go. 

" Yeah, I'll go." I responded turning around and walking to the kitchen. I was biting my lip hard to hid my happy smile. 

I got in the kitchen and poured myself a glass of juice. When I turned around, I didn't expect to see Jake leaning on the doorway with a pained expression on his face. He looked up to me.
