One More Night

After Jake’s song, they hurried to the basketball gym, but they got there at 7:30 pm. Even when they ran they did not catch anything.

“Huh, he’s gone, he’s gone.” Sighing Nicole said.

“Of course, he’s really gone, what time is it now?” Jane complained as she gasped as she ran.

“Why do we keep watching that band? It’s too late, I didn’t see Blue Sniper.” Annoyed Nicole said.

“Tssk, if I hadn’t stopped you, there would have been no sweet scene! Jake’s scene earlier was so beautiful, like in a movie, it makes me fall in love.” Jane smiles while recalling the scene.

“Hayst, let’s just go back to the dorm.”

Then walked away from the area and returned to their dorm. As they were walking, someone suddenly grabbed Nicole by the arm, she stoppedand looked at who he was.

“Harry!” surprised Nicole said.

“Oh, you are here, did you watch the gig earlier? Isn’t that nice?” Jane asked, smiling.

But Nicole remembered the scene with Jake, so she pinched Jane’s waist.

“Ouuch! Why?”

Then he glared at Jane.

“Ah, Nicole, can we talk?” Harry asked.

“Of course.” Nicole nodded at once.

“Ah, okay go ahead, I’ll be here on the side first.” Jane said and she walked away a little from the two first.

When Jane got a little farther away Harry spoke.

“Nicole, I would like to ask you something, because your Mom said you don’t have a boyfriend, but from what I saw earlier…” Harry said sadly.

“Ah, that you saw earlier, I also did not expect that, even I was also shocked by what Jake did.” Said Nicole.

“So, what is going on between you and Jake? Why when he kissed you earlier, you did not even avoid or get angry with him?” Harry asked.

Nicole did not know what to say, “Ah, honestly, I’m also confused with Jake, nothing is clear between the two of us.” Nicole scratched her head.

“In that case, do you like Jake?” Harry asked seriously as he stared at Nicole.

Nicole was nervous when Harry asked, because she was also not sure if she really liked Jake, because these past few days they had not talked to each other.

Then suddenly he just kissed her, in front of so many people tonight. She’s also confused as to what Jake really feels about her, or maybe he’s just playing?

She thought of something to say before answering, “I also don’t know if I really like Jake, I’m also confused.”

He sighed, “Well, do I have hope in you?” Harry asked Nicole.

Harry took Nicole’s hand and said, “I know we don’t know each other very well, but I want you to be my girlfriend. Our parents hope that the two of us will stay together; I hope we do not disappoint them. I like you, and I know sooner, you will like me too. I hope you give me a chance to show you that I am worthy of your love.”

“Oh, really?”

They heard a man’s voice and they both looked at it. They immediately recognized who it was; it was standing behind Nicole and looking at the two of them.

“Jake.” Nicole said softly.

“So, what were you saying earlier… give you a chance?” Jake asked Harry.

“Ah, bro maybe you don’t know yet, but I’m the man Nicole is supposed to marry. We are good for each other and our parents agreed to get us married soon.” Harry said boldly.

“What? Do you really think that I will allow you to stay with Nicole?” Jake’s tone of voice rose, and Nicole was nervous that the two might fight.

Jake put his arm around her shoulder and said, “Nicole, can you tell this man who you love?”

Nicole’s eyes widened, because of Jake’s question. Jane approached quietly, because she also wanted to hear what Nicole had to say.

“Go, girl!” at the same time winking at Nicole.

She looked at Jane, as she spoke to the side, while the two men stared at each other wickedly.

“Jake, right now… I can’t answer your question, I’m still confused.” Nicole said.

Harry smiled at what Nicole said, while Jake was surprised by what Nicole said and frowned.

He looked at Nicole, “What do you mean?” Jake asked her.

She turned around and said, “Jake, I honestly don’t know what our relationship really is. I also don’t know if you like me, because these past few days you haven’t talked to me. Then earlier, you just made a scene and I don’t know if you are just playing with me or you like – ”

But Nicole could not continue what she was about to say, because Jake had already kissed her lips, her eyes widened again as Jake kissed her and her heartbeat quickened. Jake slowly hugged her and he passionately kissed her, in front of Harry.

Harry was annoyed with what Jake did and left immediately, while Jane was thrilled to the side. Then slowly parted their lips, while chasing their breaths.

Jake stared at her as he said, “I like you, no! … I love you!”

Jake said softly to Nicole, Nicole couldn’t speak because she was so nervous that time.

“It’s okay, if you don’t want to answer yet. But I will not allow you to seduce another man.”

“Ah, because Harry is what my parents want for me.” Nicole said sadly.

“Why not try to introduce me to your parents?” Jake’s suggestion.

“Yes, I’ll try to introduce you to them.” Said Nicole.

“Okay then. Come on, let’s go somewhere.” Jake said and held her hand.

“Wait, where are we going?” Nicole asked.

“Just… surprised.” Jake said while smiling at her.

She looked at Jane and said goodbye.

“Jane, we will go somewhere, go back to the dorm first.” Said Nicole.

“Okay go ahead, enjoy your night!” Jane said happily while winking at Nicole.

“All right, be careful.”

“Okay, be careful too.” Said Jane.

Then they walked over to Jake’s motorbike and gave her an extra helmet and they put it on. Jake then helped her get on the motorbike and Jake drove away from the school.

Jake and Nicole had a fun trip; even though Nicole just got on the motorbike she enjoyed it. They go to a park, where they sell a variety of food on the side.

They got off the motor and parked it first and at the same time walked over to the food vendors. They bought food and cooked it.

“What do you want to eat?” Jake asked.

“Maybe just Lomi.” Said Nicole.

“Only Lomi?” Jake asked.

“All right, it’s up to you to order other food.” Said Nicole.

“Okay, I’ll take care of it. Sit there first.” Jake said and pointed to the empty table.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Nicole then went to Jake’s pointing table and sat down at it. While waiting for Jake she looked around, she saw the beautiful garden all around and the lights designed in various shapes like flowers, stars, hearts and snowflakes. She also noticed that many people come here and take pictures.

Sometime later Jake approached her and asked.

“Did you like it here?” Jake asked.

“Nice, this is the first time I’ve been here.” Said Nicole.

“Really? Well, later if you want, we can walk around. At the end of the way, there is still a good view there.” Said Jake.

“All right, later after we eat. By the way, how did you find out about this place?” Nicole asked.

“We used to have a gig here, in the middle, there is a small stage there. There are also performers here on the side street.” Said Jake.

“Ah, it’s okay here.” Smiling Nicole said.

Soon after, the food they ordered arrived and Jake and Nicole ate together. Jake ordered a lot of food, so Nicole was surprised.

“Wait, can we finish this? You ordered too much, we are only two.” Said Nicole.

“You can consume that, I know, eat a lot!” at the same time winking at Nicole.

“Huh, I can only eat a little, you take care, you consume that.” said Nicole as she nodded.

“Okay no problem.” Said Jake.

Then they had fun eating and it was over. But they did not finish their food, so Jake wrapped the rest of them, so that they would not be wasted and gave it to the street children.

After that, they walked around and Nicole saw that there were other beautiful lights around. There is a large Christmas tree in the middle and around it looks like it’s snowing, and there are some little houses with beautiful designs.

When they walked again, she saw something like a cave of flowers and it had lights all around. Jake and Nicole went inside the flower cave and it looked so beautiful.

And when they got to the end, there was a small pond, they stopped here first and looked around. There are also plants there but there is very little light there.

“Wow, that’s nice here.” Nicole said while amazed in the place.

“Yes.” Jake answered briefly and it just stood behind her and placed both his hands on both barriers of the pond.

“It’s nice to rest here with fresh air,” said Nicole.

“Oh, are you cold?” Jake asked and Nicole felt as if he moved a little closer to her because she felt his breath on her cheek.

“Ah, pretty.” She gave a short answer.

Jake immediately took off his leather jacket and put it on Nicole’s shoulder.

“Thanks!” Nicole said and smiled.

“Nicole, don’t you like me?” Jake asked.

“Ahm, I don’t know right now… I’m still confused, I’m not sure.” Nicole replied.

“Well, I’ll help you to make sure.” Said Jake.

“Ha? How?” Nicole wondered.

“This…”

As soon as Jake spoke he touched her cheek and Jake kissed her cherry lips. She clung to his shoulder by the sweetness of that kiss and seemed endless, she felt Jake hugging her.

And little by little she was also holding Jake’s shoulder. Jake continued to kiss her, deeper and deeper and pulled her closer to him.

That night was like a dream for Nicole, a sweet kiss from the handsome man in front of her. She felt mixed emotions and nervous at that moment. She is happy with Jake, may she already have feelings for Jake?
