Finding the serial killer

Chapter 66

Chapter 66

Jake’s POV,

That girl was smart and beautiful but she was pretty unpopular for using her friends. Many of my friends who were once close to her talked about her and how she used them for her benifits. Although i was never closed with her still she looked like the type to do so.

I never kind of understand why they were together. I felt many times that maybe he was trying to get close to me but still I was unsure. He never confessed or anything.

But everytime i saw him with that girl I was sure that they were together. Everyone said that but they never confirmed.

I don't know why but I actually felt kind of bad when I saw them together. I felt like he is a bad guy. As if he was giving me wrong signals.

There was a time when I totally ignored his presence. I was not replying to his messages, I didn't show up on his birthday party. I ignored when he purposely sat beside me in the lectures.

He was becoming a bad guy to me. Although he always smiled to me. I was really good at faking my emotions. No one can tell what's going on in my mind from my face. I was sure he never realized what I am thinking when he tried to talk with me. I just keep conversation with him simple and short. I only conversed with him when it was really necessary.

He was making me someone I wasn't ever like. I was sure he could never guess that I ignored him many times. Many times when I was talking with my friends and I saw him coming I just left before he could come and join the conversation. He can bet he never thought that way. He probably would have thought it was a coincidence that I left.

He liked when I bought something I cooked for my friends.

He told me that I looked beautiful whenever he got the chance. I guessed that he was like that. An extrovert who says whatever is in his mind. It was really frustrating for me on the other hand since I cannot contain my emotions. I was never really open about my emotions to anyone. No one was that close to me.

I tried to make close friends but I always failed. I just cannot trust anyone with my secrets. Many guys from my class asks me out. Many were intimidated by me. But no one was there whom I can trust.

I happened for two whole years of my collage life. We finally separated.

I joined another cooking show which was more popular. Xabert and I talked sometimes. But everytime he initiated our conversation I never did.

Well I won that competition and I got to open my own restaurant soon after from the money I won. Whereas Xabert become the manager in his father's hotel. It was like an internship for him because soon he was about to take our as the CEO.

We grew closer at that time. He several times asked me to meet him but everytime we couldn't meet because of our schedules. But finally we met after one year of not seeing each others. He was now changed a lot in just a year span. He was much more muscular and matured.

He asked me to watch a movie with him and I agreed as I was free at that time. And there was a movie in the theatre that I wanted to watch.

When the movie hall was all dark I was sure that he tried to hold my hand. But he didn't, don't know why. After that we had dinner we talked about our life and work and after then when we were going for a walk in a nearby park it started raining. So we took shelter near a store.

I saw him staring at me many times. I got pretty uncomfortable from his unmoving gaze. I finally took courage and looked at him because I thought if I stare back at him he might look away. But surprisingly he didn't. He kept on looking at me and I couldn't move my eyes from him.

I saw him slowly coming closer to me. I thought that maybe I should was wrong so I closed my eyes and was moving my face in other direction when I felt a hand on my cheeks stopping my face from moving. So in reflex I openey eyes and widened them in shock when I saw his face only a centimetre apart from my face.

He was looking in my eyes but then he shifted his gaze from my eyes to my lips and then backt o my eyes. I don't know why but I closed my eyes at that time.

And soon after I felt his soft warm lips brushed over my lips.

A part of me knew what was going to happed but another part of mine was still in denial about our attraction and my feelings for him.

I opened my eyes and looked at him. I saw him coming closer to me but this time I didn't closed my eyes. It was wide open as if I was waiting for him to kiss me. And that's what he did he kissed me with softness. As if he was scared to hurt me. This kiss was soft and loving. He was caressing my cheeks with his thumb. My eyes was again closed so that I can remember this feeling.

I swear I still feel a wave of goosebumps all over my body whenever I think about that moment.
