I tap on the table with my fingers. I don't know why I'm nervous. Maybe because of what I'm about to find out or the thought of how I'm gone face Shawn again. Not even knowing if he knows anything or not.

The sound of a motorcycle brought me back to reality.

I waited a few more minutes for Jack.

He appeared in front of me,putting down two cups of cappuccino on the table. He took a seat and shifted a cup over to me.

"Thanks" I said and took a sip. Jack just kept staring at me,not moving a muscle with a smirk on his face," what?"

"Do you drink everything guys gives you,without a second glance" he asked in a serious tone

"What, no..."

"Don't worry you're secret is safe with me" he leaned in and whispers, " and you don't have to worry I won't take advantage of that,I like sober girls so they can remember every detail."

He falls back in his chair and look at me with a look that I just want to smack of his face.

I pick up my bag next to my chair and was in the middle of getting up when Jack stopped me," Amber, please don't go I was just joking, not about the 'I choose girls sober' but the rest was just a joke."

I look at him and his hand on mine and immediately though of Shawn and the way his tough  feels. It never feels like this,just a tough but more like a sensation.

I look down at Jack and took my seat. Pointing at my cup,"This is safe?" I ask.

"I promise,its safe as hell"

Willing to take a change on that I took another sip.

"About the other night, you must know that it wasn't personal. Shawn asked me to do it."

I looked at him in shock,"Shawn? But why? And why the hell would you listen to Shawn?"

"Yes, Shawn as in Shawn Plums , I really don't know why and that last one I can't tell you princess."

"Just one last question" I said,knowing if i'm right I know for sure Shawn is part of the Sabies but if I'm wrong I'll just cause suspicion. Hopefully if its the second one he'll just let it go.

He nodes to show me I can go forward

I take a deep inner breath,"Does the word Sabies mean something to you?"

There was a flash of recognition in his eyes,"I don't know what you're talking about" he denied quickly .That  confirmed my suspicions. He knows something, he's maybe even part of it

I stand up,taking my bag and cappuccino. I look down to Jack and winked at him and walking away.

As I walked to my class I take out my phone texting Shawn

I need to talk to you. Noon at my house?
