“Shh….” he just kept his palm over my mouth to make me silence.
“What are you doing here?” I asked after he took his palm off me.
He was all refreshed after last night incident. He has taken a shower, changed clothes and back to typical stylish Shane. “I want to talk to you,” he said, gazing at me.
I was still lying on my bed. So, I just sat on the bed, ready to hear him.
“Look, Sarah, I was so drunk last night, and I don’t even remember what I talked about,” he said, after a brief pause.
“I don’t want you to tell them with anyone, including Luke.”
“I am not telling them with anyone, Shane. You don’t have to remind me that.” I said, bit annoyingly.
“Good! Remember this, whatever the feelings I have, I will deal with them. I don’t want anyone to be involved in them, understood?” he said firmly.
After what we shared yesterday, you don’t want me to get involved, really, Shane? I think you should always be drunk, then you just put your ego away and act like a normal human being. “Understood?” he asked again since I didn’t reply.
I nodded my head.
“Words!!” he said.
“I understood, Shane. I won’t involve anything related to you.” I answered, not trying to hide the disappointment in my voice.
“That’s good. Otherwise, your life will be even more miserable…” he said finally and left my room.
I hate you, Sarah… I really do.
You should have known he will act like this after he got sober. You craved to build up a good relationship with your brother, and you thought that was a good time for that? How naive are you, Sarah? Anyway, I am pretty sure of one thing. Shane is not going to get Luke at this way.

I went to the cafe in the afternoon. It was a pretty busy afternoon at the cafe, and I couldn’t even get a chance to look at my phone. The cafe was short of staff, and Mr. Donald asked me if I could do another shift as well. He had helped me whenever I was in trouble, so I thought of helping him out this time.
I was attending to a table when I got shocked with who just entered the cafe. Jake!
No need to say how happy I was to see him here right now.
God! I miss him so much…
My face got bloomed with a smile, and I was just staring at him, completely forgetting about the surrounding.
His eyes stretched as he saw me. Did he look pissed off?
But why? He was just fine when I came to work. So, what has happened within these few hours?
He sat near a table in the corner while having his eyes glued to me.
I just grabbed a menu book and walked towards his table as soon as I could.
His face has turned to red. God! he is really angry.
“What the hell has happened to your phone?” he whispered, as soon as I reached him.
“Phone…” handing him the menu book, I took out my phone from the pocket.
Shit!!! It was switched off. How long has this been dead? I didn’t even notice that…
“You know how many times I tried to reach you?” he said again in a low tone. But I could see the anger and worry in his voice. “Jake… I am…”
But he interrupted me.
“You said, your shift finish at 5. I was trying to reach you since then. At first, your phone worked, but you didn’t bother to pick up.”
Oh! I totally forgot to tell him that I have to work for an extra shift…
“It is not like that, Jake. I was super busy. Mr. Doanld asked me to do an extra shift for him.”
“You didn’t think you should let me know that?” he asked, annoyingly.
“I was going to text you about that. But I got busy, and I missed that.” I said apologetically.
I know I should have informed him that I would be late, but is that a reason for him to get this much angry and come here looking for me? It is just 7.30 still, not that late either.
“You know how much worried I was? I got Luke to call your home as well.”
“What! You made him call my home?” God! He is really out of mind. I am not a kid, why he got worried this much?
“Did I have any other option?” he asked, in the same angry tone.
“When I got to know you are not home, I just hurried here. You don’t know what I felt on my way to here. I was nearly going crazy.”
“Well… You didn’t have to. I am not a kid, Jake… Can you please make an order? Mr. Donald is already giving us suspicious looks.” I said a bit annoyingly.
I don’t think he even heard the last part of my talk. He was just staring at me.
“You can bring whatever you like for me to drink. Before that, meet me in the washroom area,” he said, returning the menu book.
“Jake, we can’t…” I tried to speak, but he just stood up and walked towards the washroom area.
He is insane! I know his dominant and want to have control over everything. I like that in him, but today he is acting just childish.
I walked towards the washroom area. He was there in front of the men’s washroom. After he saw me, he started walking beyond the washrooms. There was a small dark passage at the end of the washrooms. Thank God! There was no one outside the washrooms, else they would suspect something fishy.
I quickly walked behind him.
It was so dark, and I couldn’t even see anything properly. Jake!! You are truly insane!!! I hate you!!!
Then all of sudden someone dragged me to a corner and hugged me so tightly.
My favorite cologne smell pierced my nostril.
