“Yes, she is here… Wait…”
Shane gave me his phone.
“Hello…” I said apologetically. Jake asked me to call him as soon as Mr. Patterson left, but I completely forgot that.
“You okay, right?” that was the first thing he asked. I felt really sad about him. His voice clearly said how concerned he is. “Yes, Jake… I am okay…”
“What the hell happened to your phone? I tried to call and text you. First, it worked, but you didn’t answer, and then it was switched off. Can you even imagine how scared am I?” he started to yell at me.
I took my phone out of the pocket, thinking about how I didn’t hear his calls. The phone was switched off, I think the battery is dead. With all the work I had to do today, I couldn’t even recharge the phone.
“I know, Jake… I am so sorry… My phone is dead.” I said sadly.
“I called Shane as well, even he didn’t answer until now,” Jake growled.
We were in such a tense discussion. So he might not notice the calls.
“Don’t worry, Jake. I am safe… Please don’t be angry.” I said apologetically.
“Angry? Do you think I am angry at you, Sarah? I am not angry, I am so damn worried, can’t you see?” he asked.
“I and Luke are in front of your house right now, can you understand how worried am I?” he added.
“What you two are here?” looking at Shane, I ran to the front window.
Shane followed me to the window.
We both looked outside at the same time. A black car was parked right in front of our gate. Shane looked at me confusedly.
“Is that you in the black car?” I asked.
“Yes…”
“It is Luke and Jake,” I said to Shane.
He shook his head with the same confused look.
“When did you two come here?” I asked Jake with surprise.
“I couldn’t make up my mind to just stay at home when that bastard is at your place. I thought what if Shane has to leave home for something and you have to stay alone with him. So we came here even before Andrew come to your place and parked near your house. We even rented a car because he knows both our cars.”
“So you were here all the time.”
“Yes… He left a long time ago… I was trying to contact you since then, what happened?” Jake asked worriedly.
“I don’t know, Jake…” I replied confusedly. Actually, I didn’t even know how to explain everything to him. I didn’t know where to start.
“What you mean by don’t know… You are making me more worried,” he said nervously.
“I don’t know how to explain everything…” I said.
“Sarah… You are driving me really crazy. Please tell me what happened.” this time he was literally screaming.
“Wait… Since you are here, I will come to your vehicle and explain everything.” I said, looking at Shane for his approval.
He nodded his head in agreement.
“That’s good. Come soon…” Jake replied.
*************
I walked to the black car parked outside our gate. Shane came behind me and wait until I got into the car. Then he went back inside.
Luke was in the driving seat and Jake was in the back seat.
With the faint light from the nearby lamppost, I could see Jake’s face. He looked exhausted and super worried. His handsome face was covered with stress. I couldn’t bare seen him like this because I knew all this stress and tiredness are just because of me… Because he loves and cares about me…
As soon as I closed the door, I leaned towards him and hugged him. His familiar scent made me need to hug his broad chest for the rest of my life… He is my love and this is my safe place…
Without even knowing, I was crying…
“Princess…” he said worriedly, caressing my head.
“Please tell me what happened, princess… You know how your tears made me feel, so please don’t cry and tell me what happened,” he said in a pleading voice.
However, it took me a few minutes to stop crying and talk.
“Andrew brought a good offer for Shane. He got RB’s manager agreed to offer Shane an opportunity to join them. Also, he said he will give an internship for Shane in his dad’s company, and they will sponsor Shane’s football training.” I explained. “Wow! That’s a pretty good offer.” Luke said. This was the first time he talked since I got into the car.
“It is true. So what Shane said?” Jake asked.
“What else? He agreed, didn’t he?” Luke asked.
“You have an incorrect image of my brother, Luke…” I said sadly. I love Luke a hell lot, but I was in a state where I couldn’t stand anyone talking bad about my brother.
“He strongly rejected the offer. “I added.
“So what happened after that?” Jake asked.
“You know how our parents are. Especially our mom. She created a drama as usual. However, Andrew brought another offer as well. ” I said, looking at Jake’s face.
I couldn’t read his emotions completely as the light was not strong enough, but I clearly observed how his face filled with impatience…
I didn’t really know how to break the news to Jake. I couldn’t even imagine how angry he would get… But I have to tell him everything. They both were in total silent, letting me speak…
“He brought a marriage proposal to me…” after a few seconds, I managed to say.
“What?” they both said in unison…
“What did you just say?” Jake screamed in rage, holding me from my shoulders and shaking me. He was burning with anger, I could easily say that with the way he was holding and shaking me. “He brought you what?” he screamed again.
