Jake stopped the car in front of a building it was now that Rose realised that the road Jake took wasn't the route to her house
"Why are we stopping here?, is this your house?" she asked
"Sort off and I decided since your curfew starts at 10pm and it's just 8pm,we still have two hours so why not use it up" he said smiling
Rose face lit up to show how happy she is, she got down from the car and ran to the house door
"Wow someone had a lot of caffeine" jake said as he comes down from the car and went to open the door for rose to enter

"I wanted to add candle light but it might set the house ablaze since no one is here to watch it" jake said
"It's perfect I love it" she said
"Well I should warn you, don't tell anyone am this romantic" Jake jests
Rose smiles and recalled seeing jake the first time she never imagined him to be this kind of guy
"And even if you do I will deny, no one will believe you cause they will never see me do it" jake said
"Why won't they see you do it?" rose asked before jake could answer helpless by nightcore started before book love ended and it made Rose realise that jake did the mix for this date to impress her she raised her face to look at Jake and the deep feeling he have for her can be seen and jake spin her once more and answered "Cause this part of me it's meant only for you" it made Rose fall deeply
"Am falling for you Rose so hard and I know you feel the same" jake said and Rose nodded "I want to kiss you right now and ask you to be my girlfriend but before I can do that I will first tell you why am the loner" he said with a hint of sadness
Rose cares his cheek "Am all ears" she said assuring him as jake once again ventures into his past

"I won't judge" she said and held jake hands as he's already having sweaty palm
"well it's about 2 years ago, I was the king of our school, the one everybody wanted to hang out with, I have lots of lovers" he giggled "both teachers and students, then Vanessa was my brothers crush, she also was the queen of the school people excepted us to be together, if she wasn't my brothers crush maybe we would've" he looks at Rose and knew she wanted to hear it all so he continued "well one day Vanessa came to me and confessed her undying love like other girls did, so I told her about my brothers' feeling for her and why I can't be with her she accepted it and I was glad she did then after two weeks Nate told me he's now dating her and boy was I glad for them." he shook his head "But she kept coming back telling me how I was the only one for her the day I wanted to tell my brother unfortunately he started with telling me how happy she make him" he took a deep breath like he's getting himself under control and Rose rubbed back of his palm with her thumb to reassure him that she's here "So I decided to go harsh on her then she apologised and for almost a month she didn't try anything funny. One day I was at my grandpa's alone my grandpa went out so I heard a knock and went to open up lo and behold there stands Vanessa" he looks at Rose probably searching for the strength to continue and he did found it "and I let her in, she came inside telling me that Nate broke her heart crying I started consoling her she started advancing towards me more determine than ever so I rudely ordered her out and she threatened me that am going to regret it and left" she looked at Rose her face was beautiful even in this dimly light place he could stop from touching her face and rose melted "after one hour or so I heard a call from my parents asking me home when I got there Rose is in Nate arm crying she looked like she was beaten up before I even dared to ask what's wrong Nate charged towards me and gave me a real hard punch it turns out she have accused me of forcing myself on her and they've all believed her" he looked disappointed.
