The Street Fighter Meets The Gang Leader

Sweetheart

-Jake's POV-

"She won't listen to a word I say. She just doesn't trust him, Nick."

Currently, Blake, Nick and I were sitting in one of Nick's rooms while Blake was explaining how things were going with Dominic to Nick. So far he's had no luck in trying to get her to agree to what we had planned. Originally I thought she was just being stubborn but the more Blake told us about the way she had been acting, the more I began to speculate.

I'm not the smartest in the group -in fact, I may be the dumbest after Zack- but I knew women. They were logical, forward-thinking and cautious. They'll get played but will learn after they're played. Guys, on the other hand, will just get played over and over and never learn. Therefore, Dominic must know something we dont. Plus, with everything she's said to Blake, there's been something off about it.

'It's you who shouldn't be trusting him', 'he's deceiving you' - they weren't thing someone with just a personal vendetta would say, not about someone like their brother. This couldn't be right. There had to be something more. That something I could only ask Dominic about.

"How about I give Dominic a go?" I asked, cutting the guys off in the middle of their conversation causing the two to face me.

"Do you think you could get her to agree?" Nick asked with an amused confusion on his face which made me grin.

"I can try can't I?" I replied, putting my hands behind my head. I turned to my brother after that and my grin faltered seeing his unhappy face. I wanted to roll my eyes at it but I kept myself from doing so. I knew my brother. He thinks I'm going to try something stupid like taking Dominic away from him. He gets jealous quickly, especially when I'm involved, and no matter how hard I try, I can't convince him that I don't see Dominic like that. I actually wanted nothing more than for them to be together. I mean COME ON THEY BELONG.

Besides, Dominic scares me.

Yet, at the same time, the sibling side of me also found making Blake angry quite funny so I didn't mind all too much.

"Jake, can I talk to you a minute?" Blake said in a low tone before exiting the room. I looked at Nick and shrugged to which he shook his head, telling me I was allowed to go to Dominic if Blake let me. I took that as all I needed and followed Blake out of the room we were in and into another one.

"What are you trying to do?" he asked, clearly pissed as he looked me straight in the eye. Now if I was a nice person, I would have said something along the lines of, 'oh nothing brother, I just want to get this situation over and done with to help Dominic,' but I'm not so nice so instead, I replied,

"Definitely not trying to steal your girl away from you," with some sarcasm and a chuckle at the end but then what I hadn't expected was for him to shove me against the wall as harshly as he could with his arm against my neck. Damn, I sure made him mad.

"You dare do anything with Dominic I swear-!"

"You're going to let a girl come in between us?" I asked back which made him pause but he didn't release.

"Not just any girl, my girl,"

I snapped "Fuck that Blake, I can't believe you'd think that low of me," I replied to him, finally losing patience. I pushed him away and walked out.

"Knock Knock!"

"What do you want?"

"No that's not how it goes sweetheart, you're supposed to say 'who's there?' I'll try again. Knock knock!"
