I'm Jealous (chapter eighteen )

"Have him remove from the show" she commands , striking a confuse look on her team.

"We can't, he's already in and like you requested he's a good attraction" Liam said,

"Then find another couple ,am sure there are more couples to focus on" her hands sprints on her face, pulling a hard groan that she tries to subdue.

"How dare he?" her legs stalks to the scene, forsaking the incoming voices .

"What's wrong with her?" Liam asked, startled at the fact she didn't hear a word he said or answered the questions of others.

"You won't get it even if you're told, just let it be" Jane said with an eye rolled at Liam. Their little fight once again come to life.

"You have been taken recognition of" Liam said with a sting full tone.

"Yah" Jane scoffs, scrubbing her eyes at him with glares in full body scan.

Like she needs his approval or recognition, what a fool.

Those who ain't aware would vision their daily fight as cute and couple material but hell no, they're far from that. Ever since Jane ruined his one chance of shot on the girl he loved they become enemies, and in her defense she was getting back on him for revealing her crush on one of their team member in open, embarrassing her.

Luck on her side he quit a year ago or else she wouldn't have master the guts to come for work.

"What're you doing here?" her tall frame came in contact with his eyes, a fade smirk laid on his lips with her grumpy face on show and hands position on her hips.

"Huh" he plays the dumb act, agitating her even more.

"Don't play dumb with me, what're you doing here?" her voice couldn't contain the anger within.

"Oh that, my fake girlfriend broke up with me so am here to get another girlfriend. Just that this time around it will be real" he loves every reaction of hers. It strange how she got him acting like a teenager, the act that never dies get your partner jealous.

If he was told that a day like this would surface, his ears would have shut the words out but here he is, trying to get the girl he loves to tell her heart.

"What do you mean by that?" Irritate June asked out

"What do you mean, what do I mean?" Their little conversation got the lady in hot seat confused, her ears can only take in what it feels comprehensive. 

"You're still my boyfriend, what would people say if they sees you dating another?"

"Why should I care, we officially broke up didn't we?" her rocked eyes and fluttered lashes are noticed by him, he let a flat laugh off her friend lips that wanted to curse out but had no way out.

"We did, and it your life. I can just blog our breakup on media and gain their sympathy, I don't care what you do?" . The words came out but the heart's reluctant to let it be so easily as she made it seem.

…..

Dora hold her feet in her hand for seconds , crying her pain from the hard hit on the wooden table. It all his fault, since her arrival he has been stuck with some chim Chim girl, chatting and laughing, making her look invisible even with her waves to him.

' what's he doing with her and what are they talking about that's taking so long?' her burden heart provoked in, ignoring the toe that's crying for help in it pain.

Did he really not see her?.

Her neck has gone cram from all the angles peep she did.

"Sorry" the voice got her flinching her head to the other side only to grab hold of Edward,

"what're you doing here?" he asked taking a look of the space she's in, right next to the documentary section which she despise reading.

"Umm, I was finding something to read" her brain pumped out the first excuse that pops in, stabbing her eyes glued to a second regret of a clear view of the section she's in.

"The documentary section?" he dragged , sending a wary look at her.

"Umm, just wants to try something new" she further detail on notice of his suspension looks.

"Were you taking a spy on me with that girl?"

Her feet stumbles the second the question came out, his hand wrapped around her, saving her from the fall. He sits her on the chair, taking her feet in his hands.

" You'll hurt yourself . Are you insecure?" Is that really needed, her toe almost died out and he .. of course she's insecure with her around and he couldn't stop showing his teeth off to her.

It just isn't him and that makes her even more worried.

"Do you love me?"

She flushed her hands on her chest, covering the drum her heart is playing at his question. She narrowed her gaze beneath only to capture his dark eyes.

"Do you have feelings for me Dora?" This time around she can't control the beat of her heart, it chases her chest and her rosy cheeks ain't helping her. The dull smile on his lips detailed he's aware of her feelings and how arkward the question is to her.

"By now you should know my feelings for you. The lady you saw earlier was just a customer looking for a good book and she's married" her heart can't be more happier, her lips spreads worlds apart while her throat squeezed the squeal that wants to bridge out.

"Do you have the same feelings for me ?, Dora"

…..

"Have the spotlight shift from him" she ordered in, breaking the pen in her hand with every smile or touch the lady give Dave.

Isn't he allergy to touch ?,why then let her touch him ?, even if the gloves are on. He still shouldn't let her touch his hands.

Player, her mind screams within, cursing the lady and her fake ex.

"But"

"Just do it, find another couple to focus on" June cuts in Liam's protest. Without a second waste the camera picked another couple.

"June" she turned to see Rolland, poking his hands in his pockets with a drowsy look of 'hey are you working' and hers went by 'can't you see it stupid'.

"Umm, I was thinking since it being long we last chat why not have a dinner out tonight?"

Great just what she didn't need, she is already occupied with her stupid fake boyfriend driving her insane with his selfish choices, or perhaps she's being selfish but still, he should be the one making right choices .

"I can't . I've lots of work" she decline with a weak smile and shift off to another space which soon got occupied with his presence, sending her eyes for a moment of rolls.

"That's fine, but the dinner will be an official one . I have something to ask about my investment, your show" he wink .

She groaned at his nerves using her cane to wipe her. Can't he ask his question away must she show up at his stupid dinner.

"Can't you..?"

"No I can't, it can only be asked at dinner be there on time" he cuts in waving his legs away with a satisfied smirk on his lips. While she grunted her throat out,

'damn where did he go and the girl?'

just like that she loses sight of Dave and it all Rolland's fault.

...

"I'm home" June lazily said reaching her body for the near post sofa . The day has been hectic and all she needs is a good clean rest.

"How was your show, did your grumpy uncle showed up?"

June's eyes crossed straight at Dora that gasped the second she blurted out the last part.

"How did you know he was there?" Her body came straight and firm with hard tone, giggling her eyes at her friend.

"Umm, I just took a guess. You know since he's your boyfriend it just fit he shows up" Dora slipped out of danger.

"Oh" she said plainly sending her body back for the sofa. "Let not talk about him"

"Why not?, did he do something bad?"

"If you mean he went on a date with someone hotter, better and beautiful than her then yes. He absolutely did something horrifying" Jane stone in with a crooked laugh that goes dead the second her eyes falls on June, who's weight is on her legs.

"Uh.. so mean, he's evil" Jane flats in seeing she has poke the tail of a tigress.

"So how does it feels?, You know seeing him with some hot beautiful lady that's not you?" Sure it hurts but she isn't as beautiful as her, the girl is no way close to her and even if she is Dave is hers alone.

"I don't have time for him, I have dinner with Rolland"

"Rolland?" She practically screamed the name out, taking a relief with her hands on her mouth.

"The Rolland I know, Mr hottie?" her eyes went dazzling, sure June's not surprised she was one of the heart dying fans of his, and gladly June's assignments were done by her to get her pics of him.

Oh how Rolland made her college life simple.

"When did he arrive?, thought he was overseas, why did he returned?" Dora fired in at June

"that you have to ask him yourself. I know only of him being an investor to my show, besides that I know nothing"

"Huh. Where did you say you were having the dinner with him again?" Dora inquisitively inquired.

The next to follow is a quick text to Dave on June's response.

...

Just the right touch, no heavy makeup or fancy dress, just the normal attire for strict business meeting. Her toes are dying from the earlier heels so she changed them for cute flats that blends in with her dress, the rough edges are left slaying the front, up with a loose bun that always keeps her in one look recognisable to her.

It better be sensible questions or she swears she's gonna buried him alive for taking her out on an exhausted day from work.

"You look beautiful" he comments dispositioning the chair for her.

"Thank you"

"What questions do you have?" She asked the seconds she occupies the seat, granting him little time to pick up the menu or respond to the waiter that's waiting on his order.

"I'll have shellfish and jelly beans" he placed his order, handing June the menu to make her order.

"I'm not hungry, just tell me what questions you have?" she said with a lap of the menu on the table.

His eyes dims out with a quick sigh. How can he forgets her dominion attribute.

"June, we're at a restaurant and you know what happens here, right?" he shoved in with a smirk, cracking her little devil to prompt out.

"You can have it your way , share a meal with me or I cancel my future investment plans" is that a threat?, how dare he?.

There's no way she's letting him have lavage over her.

"Fine, but you better start talking or I swear.." 

"You'll break my hood" he finished with a wink. Ah, same old June , so perfect in his eyes. Come to think of it her crazy character was what attracts him to her and the fact she didn't go cra-cra for him like the other girls .

"I know, trust me I won't waste your precious time but first we eat. It bad to talk and eat" well not in her case, the reason she's eating is to hear him speak so he better start opening that small mouth of his that resembles a lady or he's in big trouble.

Just they're about to feast on the dishes served, herhand halts it pace to her mouth, cocking her eyes to the scene of the other end. The knife and fork rests its way on the plate as she rises on her legs rejecting the words of Rolland.

"June, June are you alright?".

How can she be alright?, he is right there with the same lady, thought it was just a show off but there he is on a private date with her. Her fingers jitter in her skin in watch of the lady's hand racing for Dave's face ,which he gladly averts .

"Liar, fraud cheat" urg she despise the way he makes her feel.

Honestly she isn't willing to fall weak or let her heart decide but it hurt to see him with someone that's not her.

"Are you alright?" her body flinch to his touch, giving him a second gaze then flipped on the scene that makes her want to buried someone alive.

Wanting to know what's stealing her attention and causing a hard panic in her, he takes a quick tour of his eyes around and soon captures gaze with Dave. Not only him but with a complain of his own and from looks they are having a good time.

"Isn't that the guy from the other day?".

"I'm not feeling well, am going home" she got up heading for the door only to halt her legs and twirls a turn to him and and his date direction.

"Hello" a wary warm smile spread through her lips as their gazes falls on her.

" Stella right?" she said out her name in dubious, certain her eyes had cross through the names of candidates but her is a particular to store.

"Yeah. Ain't you the host of the live show and Bring love to life?" she cheerfully asked. " What're you doing here?" she furthers in. 

"Apparently on a date with me" Rolland walks in the conversation, the whole story was a puzzle at first till he took a clear look at Dave and recalled his introduction to him.

"You're on a date"

"Yes, yes I am" she acted it up to irritate Dave, which work to his clenched fingers and hard knuckles, while trying to act unbothered.

" Since you guys are on a date and we are too, I think you should join us" she offers warmly.

With no hesitation June takes the offer and slide in for one of the seats.

"How long have you two bring dating?" Rolland pries in with intend of weaking June's likes in Dave.

"Not too long" Stella replies.

" Same here. But the merit is that this isn't our first meet. We were mates back in campus" 

Dave's grins, tightening his grip on the glass with every word said by Rolland. For second his mind vision Rolland's face being slapped on the table several times.

"That's nice, how novel of your love story" 

"There's no love story" June cuts in , " let talk about you, what do you like about him?" She asked glaring at Dave.

"Well he's nice and polite"

"Don't be fool , these days men can easily pass on as nice and polite. For all you know he might have a girlfriend whom he left to be on this date" she daringly said in taunts. If he thought he's going to have a smooth date then he better think again cause she isn't backing out.

" I don't think he's like that" Stella says in his defense. She might not know him for long but the days she has spent with him , she's sure he's a good man with no ill intentions.

" Dear you've to be careful who you trust. I know a friend whose boyfriend went out on a date with another lady while still committed to her" June indirectly trolls at Dave 

"Perhaps it because of your friend's in capability to say her heart out. One moment she wants him and the next she doesn't " Dave respond indirectly to her taunts.

"Well maybe he should stay loyal. He had promise to be her fake boyfriend so he has to be committed " 

"What if he doesn't wants that?" By now the third wheels have notice the conversation is personal . Calm as Stella presents herself, she quietly exit herself with no grudge attach and wish they can settle their differences and assured they had a deep connection. Rolland at the other end stay third wheel till June decides to walk out.

"June, let me drop you off" Rolland offer after a chase behind her.

"No need, I've sent in for a cab. You should leave" and thou his heart wants to protest he stays calm and leave for his car.
