"Gia!!" I heard Brianna calling for me as she rushed inside my room.
"What happened?" I asked
"Guess what"
"What?"
"Just guess"
"Brianna you know me too well I hate guessing games"
"Okay, Jake asked me on a date this Saturday night"
"Oh my God that is so sweet, I can't believe you are really going on a date"
"Why can't you believe it?" She asked as she frowned her face, maybe I shouldn't have said what I just said.
"Nothing I just thought you will be single for life, like me" I replied her.
"Oh I know where this is coming from you are jealous of Jake, you are scared I will leave you behind ones I start dating Jake but I will never trade you for anyone"
Well she was right, I was kinda scared I won't be able to see my friend like I used to. I was scared that ones she start seeing Jake she won't have time for me again but am really happy for her.
"Yeah am scared you won't be having my time anymore but that doesn't mean am not happy for you Brianna"
"I know, now come give me a hug I need it" I walked up to her and pulled her in for a hug.
"Come let's go shopping or do you have any ideas on what to wear"
"Who cares what am wearing as long as am not naked" she simply replied, well that is Brianna for you she doesn't like it when she sees girls putting so much effort in looking good for a guy that has been telling you how beautiful you are even when you are wearing not the best of clothes.
"Brianna this is your first date you need to look your best, am glad Eric has decided to finally give you your space"
"Me too you don't know how happy I am, speaking of which let's just go shopping so we can buy the clothes and items we need for the prom"
"Yeah I almost forgot about that"
"Why? Is it because you couldn't get Eric to come with you?"
"I guess, I wanted so much to come with him that even if someone else where to ask me out I don't think I will say yes"
"Gia, you need to move on, date other guys have fun. Don't let or use because of your feelings for Eric and keep yourself away from having fun"
"Brianna dating is not about having fun, you are beginning to sound like Dax"
"I know I didn't mean it in that way"
"Okay how do you feel about Jake whenever you are with him?"
"I feel happy, he makes me happy and comfortable"
"Then am thinking that you guys haven't found the spark. Have he kissed you yet?"
"What, hell no we are taking things slowly but why did you ask?"
"I heard this from someone, and also from my dad. I ones asked him how he felt about my mum and how he knew she was the one for him"
"What did he say?"
"First of all the feeling, my dad said the first time he met my mum that there was this strange and sweet excitement he felt.
He said she didn't feel like a stranger, and secondly the electricity between them when they touched each other.
He said it was how he knew she was the one, you should know all of this since your parents are so in love with each other"
"I really don't want to rush things between Jake and I, I just want everything to come naturally"
"Okay if you say so"
Brianna's POV
It has been a week and few days since I met Jake but yet whenever am with him I feel like we have known each other like forever. I haven't heard from Dax for a while now and am grateful for that.
I was so happy when Eric told me he was planning on letting me make my choice of friends. After I left Gia's house I couldn't get her words off my mind.
I don't feel all those things she mentioned with Jake, while she was saying that I could only think about Dax. Why was I thinking about him I just don't know.
I remembered the day we met, I felt something between us and when he held my hands I felt that spark between us.
But Dax is the last guy I am going to date even though I know is never going to happen. Dax is a jerk a complete jerk. I don't even want to think about him left alone talk to him.
I can't believe it was Saturday already, I know I told Gia I didn't care about the dress but I think I do. My room was already upside down from searching for the perfect dress to wear.
After getting dressed I waited for Jake to pick me up but he never came. Even as the time kept ticking and passing I kept waiting. I called him and he wasn't taking my calls.
I got so worried I couldn't eat for the night, I waited for his call all night and he didn't call. What if Jake was involved in an accident, what if he was injured?
I just couldn't stop worrying no matter how much I tried, my mum tried convincing me he was okay but I didn't want to believe is until he calls me or I see him.
The next day was sunday, I called him all day but he didn't take my calls. And to make matters worst I don't even know where he lives.
I waited so patiently until Monday, I walked into the school compound with only Jake on my mind. I found him talking and laughing casually with a girl. What the heck is going on?
"Jake can I talk to you for a second?" I asked when I approached him.
"Hey babe, how was your weekend?" He said so casual like nothing happened.
"Did you just call me babe?"
"Yeah, I thought we are dating so that makes us a couple" he said with a smile.
"We are dating, wait is it in your dreams or in your past life because you totally ditched me after telling me to prepare for a date on a Saturday night"
"Am sorry Brianna I totally forgot about that" he said looking at me with guilt, but who forgets a date with a girl you just asked out.
"And why weren't you taking my calls?"
"You called me, I didn't know you called me. I actually spend the weekend visiting my parents since my mum was ill"
I felt sorry for getting angry at him, it might have been because of the illness that he forgot.
"Am so sorry about your mum Jake, but you could have picked my calls or called back I was so worried"
"Am sorry for getting you worried, do you forgive me?"
"Fine who am I to stay angry at you?" I said with a smile on my face.
"Thanks Brianna but I want to make it up to you. Will you go to the prom with me?"
Dax's POV
I have been watching his every move from afar, I can't believe he lied to her about going to visit his mother whereas he was in town. Telling Brianna is a waste of time because she won't believe me.
I watched as he gave her flower and asked her to the prom which she accepted to immediately. The students clapped for them as he lead her away. Just then I saw Brianna's friend heading towards the library. I followed her immediately and caught up to her.
"Hey I need to talk to you"
"Are you talking to me?" She asked looking around to make sure I was talking to her.
"Yes, Brianna is in danger and you are the only one I can talk to aside Eric"
"What do you mean by Brianna is in danger?" She asked confused.
"Tell her to stay away from that guy or she might end up getting hurt"
"Oh Dax, Jake again? Look if you have feelings for your best friend's sister I totally understand you don't have to hide it" she said confusing me, have feelings for Brianna hell no.
"I don't have that kind of feelings for your friend I just need you to talk sense into her, would you?"
"Look Dax I can't help you if you don't have any tangible reason or evidence that Jake is a bad person, that guy has been nothing but sweet to Brianna"
"He is just pretending, oh God why can't anyone see what am seeing"
"Okay fine assuming that Jake is a bad person why haven't you told Eric about this"
"Because am scared of doing so"
"If Jake is really a bad person like you claim then tell Eric he is the right person to approach Brianna not me" she said and walked away, I guess am telling Eric about this.
Jake's POV
"I can't believe she stupidly believed your lies, is she that dumb?"
"I guess she is?" I just want her to feel everything my sister felt.
"But you do know she has nothing to do with all of this, but what I don't understand is why you are targeting her instead of Dax"
"Who said she has nothing to do with this, just knowing Dax is already enough reason to use her for my revenge, so she should curse the day she met Dax"
I don't fucking care if she is innocent or not, as long as hurting her is going to affect Dax then I am so carrying out my plan.
"Don't worry Brianna I have something planned out for you, and you are going to love it"
