Chapter 34 

Jade 

*I'm making an appearance later on today . I will be dining with Kim, and hopefully, he falls bait and approaches me. Kim is getting ready for our so-called date. I'm dressed in a black dress . It's best for my liking . Black stilletos and red lips for sure . Kim barges in already dressed in a tight red dress . It's long and has an open slit . Sparkly with her hair loosened.*

Jade : You look good. 

Kim : Right? Thanks so much . You should really try and smile tonight.  You're gorgeous. 

Jade : Smiling at public events is so not me . 

Kim : You should try it . 

Jade : Whatever . The ride is here . We should be on our way . 

Kim : I know that and I'd like you to know that your man is also here . 

Jade : My, what? 

Kim : Mann.

Jade : I don't  have a man . What man are you talking about ? 

Kim : Leon geez . I've noticed how he looks at you . How possessive he is of you . And that's probably why he's here . 

*She opens the door wider, and there is this monster . She leaves us, and he closes the door behind him after entering and making his way close to me .*

Jade : Why are you here? 

Leon : I can't let you do this.  

Jade : What do you mean? This is a mission.  I have to do it. 

Leon : Not that. I just don't want you to be his bait.  J don't feel comfortable with you and him in the same place together without any third party. 

*I shorten my eyes, looking at him.*

Jade : Why? 

*He just pulls me closer and smashes his lips on mine.  Good thing this lipstick is Matt. I kissed him back with the same energy damn I missed his lips . I pull out, and he licks his lips.*

Leon : I don't want you to be alone with him because . I .... I.... because I love you, and maybe I am a little jealous, but if you were me, you would be jealous as well.

Jade : You what ? 

Leon : I love you. 

*He says clearer now, and I smile and perk his lips.*

Jade : I love you too, but I'd like it if you'd trust me enough to know that . I want you only, and I'd never let anyone cross any boundaries. You are the only one for me . 

Leon : It's not uou I don't trust.  It's him .

Jade : Then trust me enough to know that he won't get far. 

Leon : Bu..... 

*A beep stops him, and I pick up my bag and force him to look into my eyes.*

Jade : Look, just trust me. I won't ever disappoint or betray you, okay? 

*He darts his eyes and nods slowly.  I smile and perking his cheek before making my way out of the door.*

Kim : Finally. Let's go!

*I shake my head and get in. Moments later, we're making our way in, and I spot him being egoistic as usual and smiling. I can't put a face on the voice he's talking to . We make our way to our seats. Kim calls the waiter and gets something for us to nibble on.*

Kim : Is that him? 

Jade : Yes.  

*She bursts out in laughter, and I quickly dart my eyes  from him and look at her . I quickly give her a fake smile, and she drinks her drink, stopping herself.*

Jade : Why are we laughing? 

Kim : Wait for it.

“Ladies.”
