Chapter Twenty Eight - I don't know what to do...
Jake
I was confused as I made my way back home. What the hell just happened? Becca got on at me for being jealous, but the way she just acted seemed like she was the jealous one. Becca does not act like that when I need to leave. It makes me ask some questions. Has this become more than sex now? Or is it because we are connecting so well sexually emotions are running high, but the feelings are only sexual? I don’t know anymore. I will need to try and talk to her later if I can.
I got lost in my head on the journey home. I pulled into the driveway, no sign of Lauren’s car, which means she isn’t home yet, which is good. I told her I wasn’t going anywhere today, so I would need an excuse if she were home. I parked the car and headed inside.
I went straight for the shower, having a quick one to get the smell of sex, and Becca’s scent off me and pulled some joggers and a tee on

Rebecca I have been avoiding Jake for a few days. I cancelled our plans to meet on Monday. I needed a little space from him. I had been busying myself with other things. He had tried calling and texting, but I haven’t replied, not as much as I usually do. I need time to work things out in my head. I was having a girls day with Paula and Sam. Our day included breakfast, shopping and afternoon cocktails. It is what I needed right now.I headed to meet them at the café for breakfast, my phone going as I did. I looked at the screen, seeing it was Jake. I sighed, staring at it as it rang. I let it ring out, but then he called my back. I answered this time.“Hello,” I whisper.“Do you want to tell me what is going on, Becca?” He spoke.“Nothing,” I said.“Becca, come on, it is me, please don&

Jake I was enjoying my lunch and a beer with James and Barry. I needed it after the last few days. I was worried about Becca and the way she is acting. She said she needs a few days, and I will give her those. I just hope she doesn’t want to end things. I would understand if she did, though.“How are things at home?” James asked.“Confusing, to be honest,” I said, “Lauren is being nice. She wants to spend time with me,” I added.“I know things haven’t been easy for you recently, so is that not a good thing?” Barry asked.“I don’t know,” I said, “I am waiting for her to turn again,” I added.“Maybe she has realised what she has been doing,” James said.“Maybe, but can we talk about something else, please?” I
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty One - I think I am in trouble!
RebeccaI was waiting for Jake to pick me up. He should be on his way over. He didn’t tell me where we were going, but only we will be away for most of the day. Why he had to choose this time, I don’t know. It was only seven a.m. God knows what excuse he has used to tell Lauren, especially if he said we would be away most of the day.I was feeling anxious as I waited for him. I know we would get back to our conversation we sort of had last night. I wish he would just leave it. Some things are better off left unsaid. I just wanted to enjoy today and forget about everything else.My phone went, a text coming through. He said he would text me when he was outside, rather than coming up. I made sure it was Jake before grabbing my bag and headed out. Jake was standing against his car, waiting for me.“Good morning, gorgeous,” He said brightly.
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty Two - I need a plan...
Jake Becca and I were still at the same spot. We hadn’t really moved much. We went a short walk and then came back. We had been here for three hours and not saw one single person. It was perfection.I was resting against the tree, and Becca was laying down with her head resting on my lap. I reached down, pressing a soft kiss to her lips. I feel her lips grow into a smile when I do. I miss her lips on mine when I don’t see her. There was something about them that felt right. I pulled away after a moment.“What are your plans for the rest of the week?” She asked.“Um, I am going away for the weekend,” I said.I can’t remember if I already told her or not.“With Lauren?” She asked, and I nodded.I couldn’t read her face when I told her that. It was blank. Becca ga
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty Three - The right thing to do...
Rebecca I was exhausted, mentally exhausted. I barely slept last night because I had too much on my mind. My day with Jake yesterday was incredible, but it also made me realise something. I was falling for him, hard, and that was not the plan! That was never meant to happen. And knowing he is going away with her for this entire weekend coming was pissing me off. I couldn’t get the thought of those two out of my head. And the idea of it hurt like hell. I have no right getting mad because they were going away together. Jake was her boyfriend, not mine, and he will never be mine. If he wanted to leave her, he would have, a long time ago, if things were that bad.I knew what I had to do. I knew what was best for everyone, best for my heart. I had to end things before I fall any harder for him. I have no right doing what I am doing, getting in the way of those two. All I am to Jake was someone to talk to, a friend who he
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty Four - I know what I need to do
Jake I stood there, staring at the phone. What the hell just happened? Everything was great yesterday, and now this? What has changed in less than twenty-four hours that have passed? I tried calling her back the moment she hung up the phone. I tried again and again, and she hit the reject button and then finally turned her phone off. I was so confused right now.I opened a text to her. At least when Becca turns it back on, she will see it.Becca, I am so confused right now. What has happened since yesterday? We had a good day, didn’t we? Will you please call me back, baby girl? I don’t want it to end like this. You didn’t even give me a chance to talk. Don’t do this, Becca, I beg you, Xx.She can’t just say something like that and not give me time to respond. That isn’t fair. Then again, none of this fair, especially not on Becc
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty Five - Tomorrow is a new day...
(Hey, I know you are probably wondering what happened when Jake went home, that will be the next chapter. I just wanna say hello, because I don't think I have yet. Thanks for reading my book 😊)Rebecca I was still in bed. Even when Jake showed up at my door, I didn’t move. I didn’t want him to hear me. Pathetic, I know, but I wasn’t ready to see him. I grabbed my phone, switching it on. The moment I did, the text from Jake came through, along with the missed calls and voicemail. I checked the text first and then listened to the voicemail. He sounds sad in it. He was probably confused and wondering what the hell happened. Maybe I should have given him time to talk before I hung up, but I can’t do anything about that now.It was tempting to text him back, but I didn’t. Instead, I grabbed my phone and called Paula. I was hoping she was free. It rang a couple of times before she answ
Our little secret (Friends to lovers) Chapter Thirty Six - Watch your back...
Jake I had been sitting in the car in my driveway for the last twenty minutes. I was nervous about going on. I know this is the right thigh to do, but that doesn’t make it any easier. I recheck my phone to see if Becca has been in touch, still nothing. I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. I hope she hasn’t given up on me completely. I think that will hurt even more than what I need to go and do now.I took a few deep breaths and got out of the car, and headed inside. The moment I stepped in the front door.“Jake, where the fuck have you been?” Lauren snapped.“We need to talk, Lauren,” I said.“Can it not wait? We have a lot to do,” She said.“No, we need to talk right now. It is important,” I said, “Can you please sit down?” I added.Laure
