A Girl Nobody Wanted

Luke's POV

She was preparing tea for me. I think she has observed that I was different from yesterday's night. No matter how hard I tried, it was so difficult to hide my pain and misery. Even Jake asked me, why am I so silent during dinner. I didn't know he to reply to him, so 1 just skipped his question with a weary smile.

How can I tell my best friend and his girlfriend about my feelings? It will only make them sad and feel sorry for me. Sometimes, they may feel uncomfortable around me too. That is the last thing I want to happen. They are the most important people in my life. I want them in my life forever. So, I think it is better if I keep my feelings just to my self. “Here you go..” she said, offering me my mug. She looked even skinny with extra-large clothes on her. But she still looks cute. No makeups, no hairstyles... Just pure, natural beauty... Exactly what Jake expects from a girl...

I have never met a girl who has gone through so much like her. She has suffered a lot. I think they treated her that badly just to impress Shane... Because everyone knew Shane has some unexplainable grudge over her. He never let a chance to hurt her, go away. But now, with my friendship with her, everything is getting changed little by little. People have started talking to her. They have started treating her as a human. They all may want to impress me now... People are that cruel. They only think about what gives them the best advantages. They don't care about other people at all...

“Are you in some kind of a problem?” Sarah's voice raised.

“Mmm.."l was so attached to my own thoughts. So, it took me a few seconds to grab what she asked.

I raised my head and looked at her. She was looking at me sadly. Don't know how long she was looking at me like this... “No... why?" I asked, trying to smile.

“You are different from last night. I thought you were tired, but now I feel there can be some other reason too...” she said, looking right into my eyes.

“Nothing like that, Sarah... I was exhausted, and on the other hand, I was really pissed off at what happened to Jake... I said. God! it was so hard to lie to a person, looking right into their eyes.

“I get it... It was unfair... But are you sure, you are upset just because that?” she asked again.

“Of course... What else is there to worry..” I replied immediately.

“Okay... then... But if you have any problem, I am always here to listen... Maybe I won't be able to help you but I will alway try my best.” she said. I know she meant every single word of what she said.

“I know that, Sarah..." I smiled.

Jake, you are the luckiest man in the world... You have such a wonderful girl in your life... She is perfect from all the aspects. I thought while looking at her...

Sarah's POV

We all had breakfast together.

jake was feeling a bit okay than yesterday night... Luke was also back to his usual self after the discussion I had with him the morning...

“Your food is delicious...” Luke said. This is like the fifth time he said this.

jake and I laughed at him.

“You know, when you two are married, I will come to your house everyday... So, I can eat tasty food from Sarah... Luke sai again.

“How about getting a girl who can cook delicious food for you?” I asked while laughing at him.

They both exchanged a glance that I couldn't decipher... Luke's face also got changed pretty quickly. What does that mear “No need... 1 will arrange a room for you at our house... Jake said immediately.

“Perfect.” Luke said, patting Jake's shoulder.

These two indeed have a lot of secrets between them... God knows when they are going to let me know all these... I thoug while looking at them...

After taking breakfast, Jake insisted that I should go home... 1 so much wanted to stay with him and take care of him. But I didn't want me or Luke to stay with him.

He said he called Clark, and he is on his way to Jake's place. So Clark will stay with him, and look after him. Luke was cleat pissed off with Jake's decision, but neither of us could do anything against his words. He always has some kind of power I make us agree to his decisions.

Luke went to take a wash and change before leaving. So, I was alone with Jake in the living room. I was sitting next to him holding his hand.

“I have to ask you something.” I said.

“What?”

“What you wanted to ask from me after you score three goals?” I asked curiously.

“Oh! that... I didn't score three goals, so I cannot ask you that now...” he replied casually.

“But it was not your fault... You were so close to scoring the third goal if that i***t didn't block you illegally." I said angrily. “However, the final result is the same... I scored just two goals...” he said.

“I don't care how many goals you scored, Jake. Even if you didn't score a single goal, I am willing to give you anything you want... Please tell me what you want from me...”

“No, Princess... I must earn that... 1 will tell you when I deserve it..." he said, gently kissing my hand.

“I hate you, Jake... You are so stubborn..." I yelled at him, pulling my hand away from him.

“Hey!” he said, putting his hand over my shoulder and pulling me to him.

“Don't get angry, princess..." he said softly.

“I am not getting angry, Jake... But you are always like this... Hiding everything from me..." I said, pouting.

“ am not hiding, princess... Even if tell now, we can't do it for a long time...” he said.

“I don’t care when we can do it, but I want to know what that is...”

“Okay... Okay... Have you heard about paradise island?” he then asked.

“Yes...”

“My family owns a bungalow there... It is a really nice place with a private beach... It is a bit far away from the crowded ar So, it is possible to spend some alone time...” he was saying.

“50. he has increased my curiosity...

“Il wanted to ask you to spend a weekend with me there...” he said softly, while his eyes were focussing on mine...

“What? Spend a weekend there... But isn't that far away..." I couldn't hide my surprise... There should be nearly 1000kms... “Not far away if we fly there... I was planning to use one of our private jets..." he said casually.

“What? You own private jets as well... Oh My God! How rich are you for real, Jake?” I even forgot to close my mouth.

“It is not a big deal, princess... Most of the people own private jets these days...” he said, smiling.

“Well... not the people I know.”

“Now forget about it... I just wanted to have a beautiful weekend alone with you... Just two of us...

“I don't know what to say, Jake..." I said, looking down.

“I know, it is not easy for a girl like you to fly a thousand miles away from home with a guy and spend a whole weekend with him... That's why I wanted to earn it for you... To give a value to your decision...” he said.

“But... Even from your side, using your family’s private jet and the bungalow, won't it be a problem?” I asked.

“I can do it, without letting my parents know... So, that won't be an issue...” he replied.

“Hmm...” I said drowning to my own thoughts... It would be amazing to spend the whole weekend with him. Without bein afraid of people seeing us or suspecting anything. We can spend time together as we desire... But as he said, itis not an easy decision to take... It will be totally different from spending a day at his place... I know you all may think, what is the deal, you both love each other... That's true. But I have never been that far from home... Other than the visits required by school or university, I have never been to any place far away from home.

On the other hand, anything can happen when we two are alone... Am I ready for that? No matter how much I crave for hi; I am not sure if 1 am ready to take such a big step yet...

“What you are thinking, Sarah...” he asked, concernedly.

“Even if I score 3 goals, I was not going to push you for it... I always value your decision... I never want to make you uncomfortable... he added.

“You know, Jake, as you said it is not easy for me to take that decision... But with you, I am willing to go to the end of the world, if it is required...” I said, placing my head on his shoulder.

“Really? Thank you, Princess...” he said, kissing my forehead.

But I don't want to do that, yet... I wanted to tell him... But I didn't... I know I will look so stupid if I tell something like tha now... He will definitely make fun out of me... Sometimes, he may not have even think about something like that... He may just want to spend some time with me...

God! You are so naive, Sarah... When are you going to grow up?
