Acted to Love

Part 34 On a Furious Night

Her POV

It's the third week of November. That's Tuesday, a normal day for Gab. After he reported in his office, he picked her up at one of the shoot she did at Sanders to her home at Brinson but Troy turned right early at Sykes. The moment they went at the half circle driveway of that rather small strip at Sykes, she saw Jb smiling with her long dog leashed at her right hand. And she thought Gab's planning a high school type of date.

"I told you, you don't need to pick me up," she heard Jb explained as Gab opened his car door for her

"He pick you up to have a meeting here with you and left you? What the…." That's Gab grimmed reaction while still standing outside and holding that opened door

"Mark got an urgent meeting he needs to dash somewhere and I'll wait for Simon. His office…"

"You are going to wait until stock market close? Jesus, it's only 3!"

She docked towards the door, "Guys, don't create stand off there. Come on J"

Jb smiled when she saw her and made a long 'oh' sound and looked up to Gab, "Where are you going?"

Her and Gab looked at each other first before transferring their lenses at the heart shaped face woman. "I'm taking Patty home"

"You came from where?"

"Shoot," both her and Gab answered Jb's question

"Oh," Jb blurted and rub her bulging stomach. "I'm hungry, thinking of pizza and a whole lot of fudges. Come on, include Troy and Aaron"

"Let's go J," Gab said in low voice. Gesturing his hands towards the door

"Yep, inside the mall. Your treat. Chop chop," Jb commanded

"Jb! I'm on a diet!" She tried to insist yet Jb already walking towards the main door and Gab followed her while scratching his head in annoyance. She doesn't have any choice.

"So you're officially dating at last?" Jb whispered while walking with her at that strip in linked arms. The pregnant woman was looking through her shoulder, glowing in cream off shoulder dress with small sailboat prints and her hair pull up by messy bun. Gab on his aviator shades like what Patty sporting at that time decided to walk first with the dog to find a seat in a known pizza parlor in advance. Troy's trailing them while Aaron parked the car.

She stick out her forefinger on her lips to silence the brown head, "Stop it. We still don't have label on it!"

The girl exhaled and shook her head in annoyance. "It's not an issue for now. Let it flow!" Jb advised that while gesturing a flow on her one hand

"Whatever"

"So, where did you go last week when he pulled you from that cafe?" Jb spoke again with a teasing tone.

"It's at the Whipple bridge. He love that view apparently," she shared

Jb bobbed her head, "How's things going with your house by the way? I heard from Mark they already awarded that retrofitting contract to someone"

"Yes, it will be finish maybe around January. So Mark picked you up?"

Jb nodded, "He keeps on giving me work, alright. At least I got something to do. There's always internet if I want to talk to him though today's different. He wanted me out of the house."

"And yet he left you," she said strongly

"He needs to run for some urgent meeting with another snowflakes. Oh, you still know Chinese? I'm actually teaching myself with that. One time somebody tricked me because I can't understand it," Jb changed the subject with her continuous babble and she controlled herself from wincing. She doesn't know that much anymore since her father brought her up
