Midnight Smiles Chapter 18.1: The descendant of Sherlock Holmes
From the first time Jake saw Ryder back when he was still in school, he knew that little cute head of hers didn't quite function according to normal standards. He had come to understand this thoroughly the more time he spend with her. But whenever he thought he had figured out how that brain of hers worked, she would come up with shit like this, completely catching him off-guard.What the hell goes on in that head of hers? How do the clogs in her head spin? Clockwise? The other way around?How do you even come up with such conclusions woman!!!!Jake looked at Ryder and just didn't know how to deal with this girl anymore.I barely muttered two words. How can she even do that? Is that even doable? What is this? A Sherlock Holmes episode? I didn't sign up for this, okay?I don't have enough brain cells for this."I... I didn't say that." Jake fought the urge to rub the spot between his eyebrows.I can already feel more brain cells dying. *sigh*Ryder wasn't willing to let go of this. Aft
Midnight Smiles Chapter 18.2: The descendant of Sherlock Holmes
Ryder wanted to kill herself right then, unable to handle the fact that those words were said by her. Feeling as if she would be suffocated by embarrassment, she borrowed Jasmine's habits of being violent when in a difficult situation and shoved Jake hard. So hard he almost fell off the bed."You... you get out. Shoo. Leave right now." With every word, she shoved him once, pulled him twice, pushed him to the window. If someone watched this scene without knowing of the existence of the terrace behind the window, they would think Ryder for sure was trying to murder the poor innocent, and faultless Jake who had started very innocently to chuckle yet still blushing. His whole body felt warm as that sweet feeling only Ryder made him feel, filled his entire being. He felt like a stuffed animal. Stuffed with cotton and butterflies.His head had only one sentence roaming around, making him look as if he had a few loose screws when smiling.She said she was willing to kiss me. Hehe (^艸^)With
Midnight Smiles Chapter 19.1: Leah is bullying Mathew again
From the kitchen, Jake could hear Aiden and his father arguing. One wanted to watch his precious son's basketball game, the other was so opposed to it, that he had lost control of the volume of his voice. Jake didn't blame Aiden though. The last time Mathew went to one of his matches, he wouldn't stop wailing. There's nothing worse than sitting next to a grown-ass man crying his eyes out while trying to cheer at the same time. "No!" Aiden yelled trying to stop this whole nonsense and have the final saying in it. Mathew couldn't care less. "But I haven't seen you play for years." Mathew wouldn't change his mind no matter what. "Even Jeremy is coming." He added as if that would definitely convince Aiden to stop making a big deal out of it. Hearing this, Aiden had the sudden urge to end his existence and play ghost. Why are you saying that as if it would make things any better?!! "ABSOLUTELY, NO!" Having Mathew crying like a dying whale was bad enough, now his father was telling him
Midnight Smiles Chapter 19.2: Leah is bullying Mathew again
The game was being held in the gym. A lot of people had come, chatting and laughing, their voices filling the spacious place like buzzing bees. It had been quite a while since Jake had been in such a crowded place. The loud noise and the big crowd were a bit overwhelming. What's worse, he would get some strange looks from people. Most of them were teachers. Some of them even walked forward to talk to him. This only made him feel even more uncomfortable.Jake felt like he was once again back at the time when Aiden called him all sorts of names in front of the whole school and then fought with Jeremy.A sudden urge to leave almost made him turn around.Mathew noticed it first and the expression on his face turned gloomier the more teachers tried to approach them. He even started glaring at every single person who looked in Jake's direction.To distract Jake, Jeremy stuffed Leah in his arms. The little girl was so excited that she wouldn't stop talking, asking questions about everything.
Midnight Smiles Chapter 20.1: Aiden's girlfriend
"Did you find Ryder?" Jeremy suddenly asked.The topic changed too abruptly and it took Jake by surprise. For some reason, he started feeling shy.He slowly nodded before turning his head to look at his Ry once more. Who would have thought that the moment he turned his head, his and Ryder's eyes would meet?!It lasted for two or three short seconds before Ryder turned her head to look at Jasmine, but it was more than enough to make Jake feel like his heart was trying to leap out of his chest.Is this what a heart attack feels like?Fuck...Why does it taste so sweet though?Jeremy noticed Jake turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye and tsked.Tsk tsk tsk. Puppy love."Why are you even blushing?"Jake blushed even more. "We... we locked eyes..." His voice was low, almost whispering but Jeremy could still hear it.He facepalmed himself, leaving a red mark on his forehead. This dude is hopeless."Why are you acting like a fourteen-year-old?"Jake refused to answer that. Instead,
Midnight Smiles Chapter 20.2: Aiden's girlfriend
Jake had Leah in his arms, and even if he wanted to do something he was too far away to rush and stop Aiden from doing anything. Besides... if he went there and said anything, Ryder would immediately recognize him."You... can you go? Please?" He told Jeremy, but his eyes didn't leave Aiden.The latter on the other hand was decisively walking to his girlfriend, determined to at least get his smooch! To kiss her right there in front of everyone, in front of her friend to let her know that no matter how much she bullied him, he still had won in the end because Ryder was his girlfriend!"Congra-..." Ryder was smiling at Aiden, but when she saw that the look in his eyes wasn't quite right, the word stuck in her throat and something in her heart was telling her to flee. Her eyes widened as she saw Aiden approach her and grab her face between his hands, his lips closing the distance between them. At that moment only three words crossed her mind as she panicked to the point of almost faintin

Leah sobbed in Jake's arms. Her tiny hand clutched tight on his jacket, pulling at it to get Jake's attention, but it was useless. The young man was frozen in place, not moving... not blinking... it even looked as if he wasn't breathing. Yet tears rolled down his face. This scared Leah. Somehow she could sense that something was wrong with Jake. What's worse is that she saw Aiden yelling, showing that scary angry face again and her father punching him... Tears welled up in her eyes. "Jay, I'm scared." Leah cried. Her sob finally managed to bring Jake back to reality. He wiped his wet cheeks and barely managed to give Leah a sad smile. "Don't be scared. Everything is fine." He planted a kiss on Leah's forehead and walked towards the exit of the gym. Behind him, Mathew was more confused t
Midnight Smiles Chapter 21.2: Nothing but a ghost
Once he was inside the dark room, Jake locked the door, but couldn't even bother to get to the bed. It was almost as if his body had been holding on only until he was alone. Now that there was no one around to watch him, his legs couldn't keep him standing anymore. His body slid down the door to the floor. He sat there on the cold floor, hugging his knees, trying to subdue the pain in his heart.He wished he could stop thinking. He wanted to empty his head and heart. Not to think anything, not to feel anything. But his head was a mess of thoughts, tangled so badly that nothing made sense anymore. And his heart... why did it feel as if it wasn't made of flesh? Why did it feel as if it was made of glass and had already shattered?When he recalled how Aiden had rushed right to Ryder... the way he had intended to kiss her... all sorts of feelings mixed together and made him feel sick.He was so angry and jealous, so scared... so much in pain.But no matter what he felt, the thought of hat
