While I was excited that my evil plan was working, I wasn’t really paying much attention to Jesse and Ceirra as they talked. I was a little, er, distracted.
It had always been easy to talk to Jake and even though now things were slightly awkward, because we realized we both liked each other, I was glad to find it was still easy.We talked until dinner came, we flirted through dinner, and we chatted easily through dessert. We were sharing chocolate cake.
It was only then that I noticed. Ceirra and Jesse were also in deep conversation, both obliviously leaning towards each other slightly.
I was surprised. I mean, I knew Ceirra liked Jesse and that Jesse was actually a nice guy (very accepting), I hadn’t really expected my evil plan to go this well.
Jake noticed them at the same time I did. “Well that’s interesting,” he muttered to me.
I giggled, mostly because he’d moved his face close to mine so he could say it without them hearing. “Yes it is. Do you think they’ll forgive us now?”
He chuckled, “Maybe.”
