“Please promise me” Jake was scared she was going to get angry at him, just like she was earlier today. He knew his crazy friends were up to no good.
“Okay fine I promise” Jade said, when she saw he was really shaken up. “So what is it?” Jade had only asked when someone suddenly appeared in front of them.
“If it isn’t the harem leader, Jake Beau” Rick greeted with a wicked smile on his face.
Jake frowned when he heard him.
“More like the ring leader of all the harem worlds” Mike added as he also approached them. Jake couldn’t help but cringe at his friends. They were trying to sabotage him, and he knew it.
This was something he had brought upon himself. Years ago he had initiated this stupid idea of sabotaging any intending relationship that anyone of them wanted to engage in, lecturing them that it was the best way to save them from engaging in a life destroying activity such as a relationship. And that’s how they’ve kept themselves In check all these years.
And now, his own words has come back to bite him in his ass.
Seeing the pair of mischievious friends Jade finally understood why Jake was acting strange. This must be the pack of lecherous wolves he had been hanging with.
‘Poor boy’ She shook her head in pity.
Faking a smile Jake turned towards Jade; “Babe meet my friends, Rick and Mike “He said emphasizing on the word friends, just in case they’ve forgotten that friends were supposed to have each other’s back.
But wasn’t that what they were doing?
“Hey bro” Daniel greeted Jake as he approached them. Jake heaved a deep breath when he saw Daniel. At least someone that was married would help him fend off these evil pair. It was at this moment that he appreciated Daniel’s decision to get married. He wasn’t alone in this.
“Babe meet Daniel” Jake said when Daniel showed up.
“Guys meet my girlfriend, Jade” He introduced them, surreptitiously sending warning glares to them.
“You’re the beauty who tamed the legendary Lothario. I must say I’m delighted to make your acquaintance” Daniel stretched his hand for a hand shake which Jade obliged with a smile.
“Same here” She replied.
“Well Jade I must confess you’re such a beauty. I mean a true goddess. And I’m not sure he tells you enough” Mike said smiling at Jade before winking at Jake.
“Did you just call her beautiful? Men that’s too cheap for her. Beautiful does not do justice to how gorgeous and enchanting you look right now” Rick added, walking closer to Jade, who didn’t know if these were mere compliments and if she was supposed to say thank you.
“Please make sure not to buy whatever these two fools says, they’re both crazy” Daniel said to Jade, while Mike and Rick glared at him. What a spoil sport.
Jake shot Daniel an appreciative look. He was happy Daniel came to save his ass. But that doesn’t mean these guys were going to back down. He had to do something before another crazy person joins their sabotaging club. The occasion should just start off already.
But it was that moment that he heard the voice he so didn’t want to hear right now.
“Sister In-law” Blake chirped as he walked closer to them. Jade was confused if she was the one being referred to as sister in-law.
She confirmed it when Jake frustratedly rubbed on his forehead. She was the sister in-law? When did she marry into their family? Or had she been absent from her own wedding.
“Hi, I must say you look spectacular” He said with a happy smile.
“You might not know me, but I’m the brother to the man you just saved from man whoring and possible STD’s and most importantly from producing a bastard Beau, that would have destroyed our legacy”
“Blake!” Jake growled, but Blake ignored him.
“The entire Beau clan is indebted to you for this heroic act. I’d love to chat and keep you company all night…”
“Like I’d let you” Jake snapped, but again he was ignored.
“Sorry for the rude interruption from my big brother. what a shame you’ll have to live with that” He shook his head. “But if you’re ever interested in knowing his dirty little secrets and that of his peers here” He flashed a sardonic smile towards Mike and Rick who were glaring at him, “You just have to call me okay?”
“Okay” Jade nodded with a smile. She liked Blake already. Okay a tad bit, because he still did hurt her friend.
“I’ll be back for a chit chat later, but for now can i borrow your boyfriend? We’ve got issues to handle” Blake finally turned to Jake. Jake frowned when he saw the look on Blake’s face. He didn’t like trouble and and he wasn’t looking forward to having one now. And most importantly he didn’t want to leave Jade with his crazy friends.
Jade noticed the hesitation in his eyes and she jabbed him slightly on his arm. “I’ll be fine. Just go” She said with an assuring smile.
“I’m not sure I want to leave you with these crazy fellows” He said, much to Mike, Rick and Dan’s hearing.
“Who are you calling crazy?” Rick snapped.
“Of course you’re crazy. Even more crazier than anything I can call crazy”Jake retorted.
“I’m sure I’ll be fine for a couple of minutes” Jade said reassuringly. She was not sure if she was convincing herself or Jake.
Jake looked at her and sighed. All he wanted was to keep her company all night, but now he had to handle whatever issue was currently seeking his attention. He turned to the trio friends, he could trust Daniel but not Rick and Mike. He glared at them and warned, “No thrash talking, or I promise all your ventures will be in shambles by morning”
“Woah, there’s no need for threats man. Just go. We’ll be good and keep this angel company” Rick flashed a deceptive smile.
Jake turned back to Jade, he placed a kiss on her forehead. “I’ll be back in few minutes” He told her, while she nodded before he walked away, but not before shooting another warning glare to his friends.
“And the bully is gone” Rick smiled as he secretly nudged Mike to go ahead with their plan.
“Jake isn’t a bully” Jade said in her boyfriend’s defence as she took a sip of her wine.
“Oh what a sweet girl” Rick smiled sweetly, his hands dramatically placed on his chest. Daniel couldn’t help but shake his head at these fools antics. Jake was going to grill them if they messed with his girl, he was sure of it.
“Sweetheart believe us if we say you’re too good for that man. He’s not only a bully but a man….whore” Mike said taking away Jade’s glass from her hand. She watched in surprise as he passed it to Daniel.
“Please allow us to give you some brotherly advice, and you need a clear head to reason things out” Mike added when he noticed Jade’s surprised gaze.
“But after we share some secrets with you” Rick quickly added.
“Have you heard of the term BDMS?” Rick asked.
“No” Jade replied. She hasn’t heard of such a term before.
“You guys should stop now” Daniel spoke up. These idiots were going to scare her now.
“Oh sweet girl you don’t know?” Mike feigned a pained expression.
“That’s Christian Grey shit. It’s a term in which many fetish and sexual fancies come into play. It usually involves types of bondage and role playing, like master and slave. That’s the kind of things that guy does” Rick said in a spooky tone.
“Mike can you remember that girl who almost jumped off the hotel roof because Jake wouldn’t let her go after all nighter with all the BDMS stuff they did?”
“You mean the one that’s still in the psych ward getting mental help?” Mike gasped dramatically.
“Yeah” Rick nodded.
“That was some deep shit. I heard she was an only child. Her mom still cries everyday” Mike said, feigning a sad look.
Jade had a stunned look on her face as she listened to them. She couldn’t believe all they were saying right now.
Taking advantage of her stunned expression Mike took her hand in his.
“Baby you have to run. This guy isn’t good for you. None of us are. We’re just some bad men who can’t get enough and unfortunately Jake is our leader. You don’t want to know the countless body count he’s had. They’re innumerable. He can’t come out from that”
“You guys are so evil” Daniel spoke up when he saw the horrified look on Jade’s face. “Jade they’re telling you lies. Don’t believe their crap” Daniel said to Jade, earning him some lethal glares from Mike and Rick.
“What man!” Mike snapped. “We’re trying to do some good so stop acting like you’re some saint”
“Jade honey you can’t believe this man either. After humphing so many ladies, he decided to get married but that was a camouflage to hide more of his debaucherous lifestyle. Trust me this guy is the worst. Ah, his poor wife.” He sighed theatrically.
Jade looked from Rick to Daniel. She was confused.
“Don’t blame us for not telling his wife. You know we’re guys and we’ve got to have each others back. But since we couldn’t save her, we’ve decided to save you. Jade we’re very bad men, and Jade is the worst kind of bad there is” Mike told her with a serious face.
Jade looked at them and sighed.
“But I like bad men” She shrugged innocently.
Mike, Daniel and Rick were dumbfounded by Jade’s savage response. They didn’t expect her to say something like that.
Jade was slightly surprised when she saw the astonished look on their faces.
‘Why were they surprised? They started this?’
Looking at them, Jade pulled an innocent look. “Why are you guys looking at me like that? I’m only being honest” She shrugged again. Still seeing the bewildered look on their faces she added.
“Look guys don’t get me wrong. Bad guys are way better than the good ones, they are fun, wild and exciting and they keep their flaws open on the table, but with the good ones, you can never be so sure” She shook her head as she shrugged again.
“And don’t forget that the devil you know is better than the angel you don’t know right? So I like the fact that my man is bad to the core, and that means nothing is going to intrigue him because he has seen it all. And truth be told I want to be a little bad too, so who best do I learn from, than the captain of all things bad and evil. I think you guys still need more of his leadership, but it’s too bad he now takes only private lessons and I’m the only student he’s allowed to take.”
Mike and Rick’s Jaws dropped. Their eyes were fully open as they looked at the girl before them. This girl was a monster.
Daniel couldn’t help but burst out in laughter when he saw the look on Mike and Rick’s faces. He looked at Jade in admiration. He loved the girl already. What a great defence she had there. Did she really call her boyfriend the captain of all bad and evil things? Daniel bellowed out another round of laughter.
“What’s amusing you?” Came Jake’s voice as he returned back to them. Jade turned to look at him with concerned eyes.
