Chapter 24

"Did you just follow me here?" Dean opens his eyes while staring at him but Jeffrey leaves in anger without saying a word.
"What is he doing here?" Jennifer whispered while staring at Jeffrey as he left in anger.
"I don't know what's wrong with him... he is acting strange... don't worry... let's go to a restaurant, we'll discuss there" Dean held her hand while both of them walked around the Street.
"Hmm... I'm even surprised... I think we have a lot to discuss there" She murmured while entering the restaurant.
"Waiter..." Dean yelled, calling one of the waiters.
"What is it... is it every time we entered a restaurant that we have to eat and drink... if you are thinking of eating and drinking right now... that means I can't be here" She explained right before the waiter came in
"Please...just give us some time..." Dean drives the waiter away with his hand.
"But... it nice we discuss while eating" Dean commented while his voice lowered and also staring around the restaurant to make sure, no one was staring at him.
"oh... you want us to eat and drink... Do you remember what happened the last time we drank? No... you see... you know you don't have control over beer but you still want to get involved in it again...let me tell you something straight... for now on... if you want us to have a date elsewhere, beer will be exempted" She whisper while drawing Dean's ear like a kid.
"It's okay but I already found this meeting boring already" I'm already tired of the meeting... I already know how this meeting will end today.
"Fine... let's just...go"She tried to stand up but Dean quickened the buttons up and sat comfortably.
"Wait... I'm sorry... don't worry... I'll listen to whatever you have to say" Dean held their hand while apologizing with fake tears covered in his eye.
"No problem...So why are we here?" She sat comfortably after staring Dean in the eye.
"What the fuck.. Gosh... why are we here" Dean continued to hit in the head with his hand trying to figure out why Jennifer was staring at him.
"Hmm....Oh... I remember... The waiter brought me a chilled beer with an ice block on it... be fast about it...Oops... did I just order a beer" Dean yelled at the waiter but after realizing what he said, he stared at Jennifer and smiled with his brilliant teeth.
"Oops... I'm sorry... please just one glass and I promise, I won't have it anymore" Dean pleaded but Jennifer was only staring at him without saying anything
"Are you not saying anything?" I asked while the waiter dropped the beer on my table and I could see the look in Jennifer's eyes as soon as the waiter dropped it.
"I'm sorry... just one glass please" I tried stretching my hand to the glass but Jennifer got it before me.
" Fine... you can have it..." I frowned as I watched Jennifer drink my chilled beer. I felt pain but there is nothing I can do anymore.
"You were saying," She asked, still drinking my beer, and the more I continued to stare at her, the more my heartbeat for the beer.
"Please I can get one beer...please" I whispered very low and pleaded while staring her in the eye.
"No..." She yelled and everyone looked at her but I quickly sat comfortably in disgrace while she felt reluctant.
"Fine... Jeffrey is in love with you" I talk rudely and look sideways since seeing her drink is affecting my mental state.
"What..." She spilled the beer on me and I was in pain and felt like kicking her ass but had to control myself and clean up my face.
"Yes... he's in love with you... he told me to step down for him so he can have you" I cleaned up my face while staring sideways since she didn't want me to have a taste of my chilled beer.
"It's fascinating... I expected that..." She replies nodding her head and I look at her...'She is also falling for him ' My internal voice whispers to me.
"You expect it... what... what does that mean?" I yelled and made sure I looked her in the eye.
"You know... the other day I was mad at you... so... I went to Jeffrey's office... just to say Hi though" She stammered while staring at Dean with the beer in her hand.
" Yes... what happened?" I yelled and sat very comfortably after drawing my chair closer.
"Hmm... just relaxed... He said... he said he's not staying alone again... that he's staying with his mum for now" she laughed and I felt betrayed from hearing what I'm not supposed to hear.
"Is that all he said to you?" I asked after addressing my chair comfortably.
"umm...Ummm," She replied, nodding her head.
"Hmm... okay... if you say so... but I want you to be frank with me right now?" Dean whispered, trying to take the beer from Jennifer but it seems her mind is still involved in it
"What is it?" She asked, staring at me in the eye.
"I know... I once told you I'm falling for you but I don't mind if you also tell me you love Jeffrey... I trust you honestly but I'm saying all of this because I don't know what Jeffrey might be capable of this time... you know... he came to my office, and the next thing, he followed me" Dean continued to murmur in frustration but don't know what to do.
"I think I have a brilliant idea... why don't you sack him from the company... with this, you won't be able to see his face again" She whispers while winking her left eye at me.
"Hmm... but he can still come to my house just to look for you" I questioned and deep down in me I was thinking of a more relevant solution to end up seeing Jeffrey.
"You know... once you yelled at Jeffrey...You are fired!! He will be scared to come anywhere you... trust me" She smiled while shining her teeth on me...
"Oh! Yeah... this is a nice idea... I will do that today once I get to the company..." I smiled hard and slowly closed my eyes while drawing my lips toward her.
"Wake up Dean... stop sleeping" She knocked him on the head and laughed.
"Oh... sorry..." Dean felt frustrated and tired ' Damn... I hate this ' He yelled to himself in silence.

"Hi... what are you doing here... I know you have been staring at those couples for over a long time... aren't you tired" A lady taps him on his back while staring at them.
"Hmm... how does that bother you," Jeffrey asked with his eyes covered in pain and any more words could result in tears.
"Hmmm... I can see you are though... can I have a word with you... in private..." She tried dragging him but Jeffrey stopped and looked back at the restaurant but Dean and Jennifer were nowhere to be found.
"Fine... don't hold me... I'll follow you...but who are you" Jeffrey followed her while passing the opposite direction of where Dean and Jennifer were but no one saw each other.
"There is no need to explain ourselves... I already know you are in love with that lady... and that's why I want to see you privately" She commented while Jeffrey held her hand making them stop for a while.
"What... how did you know I'm in love with that lady..." he shouted while glancing at the young lady from head to toe.
"Don't worry... we have a lot to discuss... let's just get over there" The young lady removed her hand and tapped Jeffrey on his shoulder before they continued.
"Ok... fine... let's get there... I have a lot of questions" Jeffrey commented while entering the next restaurant with the young lady.
"Please why am I here besides, I don't have to pay for anything right now" Jeffrey commented right before they sat down.
"Do you think you'll pay for me... I'm not poor dear... and besides... I'm not here for the food... we are here to discuss" The young lady embraced herself as she sat comfortably in the chair.
"Waiter... bring me two chilled beer" Jeffrey yelled and not even up to seconds, the waiter arrived with it.
"Why is the customer service fast here.... by the way... waiter... to be clear of everything... I don't have money... this young lady here will pay for the two beers" He commented while telling the Waiter to leave and the young lady was staring at them without saying anything.
"We are here in respect of..." She was about to explain before Jeffrey stopped her with his finger.
"Waiter... come here... bring her a chilled beer too... she needs it and the bill is also on her" He yelled at the waiter with the young lady staring at him with anger in her heart.
"Thanks" She smiled at the waiter but the waiter refused to leave... " Oh... don't worry... I'll pay for everything" she stretches her hand and drives the waiter away and he leaves.
"We are here in respect of..." Jeffrey interrupted him with his finger again and this angered the young lady more but she didn't say anything.
"Why are you in a hurry to say it... have a taste of the drink and relax... don't worry... my boss won't ask after me at work... The moment you have the drink, we can start our conversation" He urged her to drink and she slowly put the drink in her mouth.
"Fine... we can continue now" Jeffrey commented while smiling at her.
"I know you are in love with that girl over there and so am I in love with Dean... I followed him to work today and I also saw you following us till we ended up here... I know you are heartbroken and so am I" she whispers looking at everyone in the restaurant.
"So you mean you are also following me... damn..." Jeffrey yelled and mistakenly fell a glass on the floor.
"Waiter..." The young lady shouted... " Don't worry... I'll pay for the broken glass..." She commented again while the waiter went ahead and cleaned the mess.
"Keep your voice low... we are both fighting for what we love...I love Dean and you love Jennifer... I found out that Dean isn't giving me a face anymore and that is why I want to establish this plan... but it just is a secret" She whispers while the waiter walks in but both of them keep quiet and wait for him to leave.
"I don't like someone spying on me... So what is the plan... if it's something I can do... i'll do it since I'll get my love back" Jeffrey commented...with boldness and felt weakened from his heart.
"You don't like someone spying on you but you are spying on someone... isn't that funny...Anyway... the plan is simple but carries a lot of courage...The plan is...." She was explaining and Jeffrey interrupted her again...She hated to cut short during a conversation.
"It sounds scary... I'm scared" Jeffrey draws himself backward, frightening because the way the young lady talks, makes him scared.
"Don't be scared... it's only courage we need here and you are very brave...Let's get straight to the point... we need to kidnap Jennifer and you'll elope with her to a different country and I'll have to spend my life with my love" She commented smiling as if it was an easy plan to carry out.
"Are you not saying anything?" She asked again while Jeffrey was staring at her without saying anything.
"Kidnapped... I can't and besides... I don't have money to travel out... I can't... Please, I don't have that kind of courage..." Jeffrey begins to panic and talks with fear.
"You don't need to be scared when eloping... I'll arrange everything for you and your mum when the time comes..." She commented again while relaxing with the beer in her hand.
"No... I can't..." Jeffrey yelled and broke another glass by smacking it on the floor.
"I'm sorry... please let me know when you change your mind... but this is the only way for us to get we wanted" She whispered to Jeffrey's ear while calling on the waiter.
"Take...Please keep this secret" She dropped her card on the table while leaving the restaurant...
