Finding the Lost Heiress of Montenegro's

CHAPTER 6

"First step, Jealousy. We have to act so sweet especially when she's around. That way she will start getting jealous."

I am inside the basketball practice hall, sitting with the one and only Jake Williams. It is regarding my revenge to Abbie Brookes. Not just because she hates me but also because she bullies Kara. I don't know how long they were bullying Kara but now that I am here, no one can touch me nor any of my friends.

"Hey are you even listening? Or are you still drowned with our kiss before? Do you want to do it again so you would wake up to reality?"

I rolled my eyes at Jake who's still making fun at me after that little kiss.

~

I was about to step inside the cafeteria again, when he grabbed me on my shoulders and kissed me on my lips. This time, he didn't warn me, he just did.

"What was that for?" I asked him

"Just nothing."  He smirked at me. He has to stop or else my heart will explode.

~

"I am listening. You were talking about jealousy." I told him so he won't tease me again.

"Oh, good. Then, how about I drive you to school and send you home every after school? What do you think?"

"Uhh, that won't work. My parents won't let me sit inside a guy's car."

"Well ok. How about lunch with me everyday?"

"I'm always eating with Kara." I shook my head.

"Then she can join us, with my friends, too." Jake suggested. I don't think Kara would like the idea of having Jake and his friends around everyday. I don't know why but she hates Jake so much.

"Ok. I will ask her."

"Sweet. Second step, Indenial. For sure Abbie won't accept the fact that she is getting jealous and that you have me. Then, she will make sure to continue hating you again. That means making your life miserable. Don't worry I will make sure to protect you everytime."

I will make sure to protect you everytime.

Saying that he is being helpful is an understatement. I think he is being extra helpful, extra sweet and extra nice to me.

After that kiss we had today, I just wanna back out with this whole revenge thing. It's just the first week since school has started, but here I am falling in love with the school's bad boy. Forgive me for being attached so easily.

"Third step. Self-pity. After two easy steps, you always have to make sure that you are not affected with her and all her actions. Remember you should let her feel that she's just nothing compared to you. Then, she would start experiencing self-pity. She would start doubting herself and her strengths. Only she would see are her weaknesses."

I am pitying myself too. Me being alone at home all the time. Not experiencing the love I needed. Jake, With Jake, I feel loved. Whether it's right or wrong, he makes me feel wanted.

"Fourth step. Revenge. Do to her whatever she did to you. Verbally or hurting you physically. It doesn't matter. She gets what she did. You hurt others, you get hurt too. That's the rule of life."

I don't want being hurt nor hurting anyone. I hate the fact that I'm getting hurt, but what I hate the more is when I'm the reason why someone is getting hurt. You get it? I am not that worse to hurt someone in the first place.

"I don't wanna hurt her though." Jake looked at me confusingly.

"You serious? Why are we doing this then?" He asked me.

"Well just to get back at her. But not hurting her. I just want her to stop that's all. You get what I mean?"

"Ok. I get it. Now continue to the last step. Fifth and last step. Apology. She needs to apologize to you and to Kara and to whoever she has hurt. Expect that she won't do it right away. But she should and she must. Then after that, she won't do it again. And that's what we call success, sweetie." Jake explained the last step to me.

"Uhhh, you know Eunice Taylors is my name. You can just call me Eunice."

"I know that, but calling you sweetie is better." He winked at me.

Ugh. Guys. I can't understand guys. They are annoying. But this guy? Makes my heart palpitate.

"But Eunice is my name and you should call me on my name. We should call each otheron a first name basis. You call me Eunice. I'll call you Jake. Yeah?"

"No. I'll call you sweetie. You call me whatever you want. I suggest sweetie, babe or love would work better." And again he winked at me.

I rolled my eyes at him. I started walking out of the hall. Jake following me behind. I just realized I would never win against him.

I was pacing forward when I suddenly stopped, arms encircled around my waist caused my heart beat to race.

"Hey you mad? I'm sorry. Didn't mean to upset you." The owner of the arms on my waist said. Why is he being so gentle? I feel so giddy. "I won't let you go. Not unless you forgive me." Jake continued.

I removed his arms on my waist and faced him. Giving him my weak smile, I told him, "I'm not upset at all. It's just getting too late. I guess I have to go. Thanks by the way." I had to go back to house as soon as possible. I stayed here at school after classes just to stay with Jake and  discuss this revenge with Abbie. I am just hoping my parents aren't home since they would be mad at me again if they learn that I am staying out late.

"Alright. Wanna ride?"

"I'm good. Got a car. See you later." I waved goodbye at him before we parted ways. I was running to the parking lot. It's getting dark. My heart was pounding quickly.

When I got home, I was very lucky when I didn't see my parents around. I was just saved from a month of lectures, complaints and lessons from my parents. They were busy with their works again. What else is new? What else should I expect?

After eating my usual dinner, which is just basically some left-overs and take-aways since no one is here to cook for me and because I don't know how to cook, I went to my bed, changing to my pajamas.

Before doing my homeworks and reading some lessons, I checked my phone. Kara just messaged me and I wonder what is it about.

"I told you he is not someone you can trust." - Kara texted me with an attached photo.

The photo showing Jake, who was kissing a brunette I don't know.  I gasped when I saw the photo. He was wearing the same clothes he was wearing when we were together. Before we went to the basketball hall, he changed his clothes. You mean this photo was either taken before we talked or after we parted ways. I wonder where Kara got the picture.

"Where did you get the photo?" - I replied to her.

"There's this thing called social media, where everyone involved can see these kind of photos. Everyone's talking about this now and you." -Kara

"Why they're talking about me?" -I texted her back.

"Well everyone thought Jake and you are having this serious relationship stuff. Turns out everything's just a game to him." -Kara

"We have nothing." -Eunice

"Oh say that over and over again" -Kara

"That's the truth." -Eunice

"Just don't cross paths with him if you still value your life" -Kara

"Nothing to be worried of." -Eunice.

Well, it's true. It's just nothing between us. He's just helping me. That's all, nothing more. But still, I can't help not falling in love with him. With him, with his words and with his personality. Playboy or not, I am starting to love him. I don't know if there's a way back. I just know I have to do what my heart and my mind says. That's my priority.
