One More Night

As Jake and Nicole were fighting, there was a knock on their door. They wondered and wondered who it was and they both looked at each other.

“Better yet, hide in the bathroom first.” Jake said softly.

“Okay.” Nicole said softly and she hurried to the bathroom and closed the door.

When Jake saw that Nicole had entered the bathroom, he opened the door and he saw the familiar man. He greeted him and smiled.

“Hi, good evening!” he greeted.

“Let’s just talk outside.” Jake ordered him and they came out of the dorm and talked across the building.

When Nicole heard Jake come out and close the door, she also went out of the bathroom and slowly opened the door, but Jake and the person he was talking to were no longer there.

Nicole wondered who knocked on their door.

“Hmm, who is that?!”

She just took a deep breath and sat down on her bed again and resumed playing the mobile game.

Days passed and the day of their festival arrived. The students are excited about having a festival, because they have a week off and there are some activities to be done here.

There are games, booths, sing and dance contests and much more. And what they are most looking forward to is watching the band – “Second Chance”.

There are also many other band groups in their school, but the most anticipated and most popular is Jake’s band – “Second Chance”.

Not only are they good players, they are also smart and handsome in this band. That’s why, almost all the girls at school admire them and shudder when they are on stage.

Meanwhile, Nicole was nervous and restless and staring at the time, Jane noticed it.

“Hey! Why are you so restless there? Are you alright?” Jane curiously asked her.

“Ah, because today is the day that Blue Sniper and I will meet, the one that I told you about, the same player in the game, I played.” Said Nicole.

“Ha, is that now? That’s why you look so beautiful!” At the same time, Jane looks at her from head to toe.

“Tssk! Don’t tease me!” disgusted Nicole said.

“Eh, you really made a beautiful woman today, you still don’t want to admit it. Take a look at what you are wearing, you are wearing a skirt and a blouse, while you are not usually wearing that. And besides, you still have a clip in your hair.” Said Jane.

“Of course, you said that every time I have a blind date, I just make myself beautiful.” a smiling Nicole said.

“What can Jake and Harry say when they see you like that, hmm?” Jane asked.

“I don’t know, hmp.” Nicole’s short answer.

“Oh, why do you react like that?” Jane asked.

“Tssk, until now Jake and I still don’t talk in a nice way.” Nicole said.

“What? Why aren’t you okay yet?” Jane asked.

“Because, he doesn’t talk to me, so I won’t talk to him either.” Said Nicole.

“So, does that mean that the Jake and Nicole team is blurry? What about the Harry and Nicole team?” Jane asked curiously.

“Gosh, that’s another one, he only makes me move once. Maybe he is busy, maybe with the figures he makes.” Said Nicole.

“So, you’re looking for someone else now, and this is Blue Sniper, right?” Jane asked.

“Haist, I’m not even sure what he looks like and if he will come up in our meeting place.” Nicole said sadly.

“Don’t be sad, he will definitely come, where did you talk about meeting?” Jane asked.

“Over there, opposite the basketball gym, this afternoon at 6 pm.” Said Nicole.

“Okay go ahead, I’ll just join you later.” Said Jane.

Then they continued watching the band in the field.

While backstage, Jake was nervous, he peeked at the audience and looked for Nicole in the audience if she’s there. He looked around and saw her and noticed that she was wearing a dress and had a little bit of makeup on. This is the only time that he sees Nicole dressed like this, compared to her daily outfit – a shirt and pants.

“Hey Jake, who are you looking at?” Stevent asked him as he walked over to him.

“Wait, is that Nicole?” Stevent assured while staring at the audience.

“Yes, she is.” Jake replied.

“Wow, do you have a date? And Nicole is wearing a dress, oh she is more beautiful looking like that.” Said Stevent.

Jake thought about what Stevent had said and stared at the clock.

“What time are we going to play?” Jake asked.

“Well, after that, we will be next.” Said Stevent.

“Is that so?”

Later on, the coordinator called them and prepared them, because they were the next one.

“Are you ready students, to see the band you are waiting for?!” MC asked.

“Yesss!” shouts of students.

“Oh, it looks weak. Let’s repeat it, are you ready?!!!” MC shouted.

“Yeeeeesssssss!!!” loud shout of the audience.

“Okay, get ready to watch and thrill, because this is the “Second Chance” band!” the MC introduced.

Then the lights went out and the crowd applauded and shouted when they heard the sound of their band.

The other lights slowly turned on, as if dancing to the music of the band.

“I’m going under and this time I fear there’s no one to save me,

This all or nothing really got a way of driving me crazy.

I need somebody to heal, somebody to know,

Somebody to have, somebody to hold,

It’s easy to say, but it’s never the same.

I guess I kinda liked the way you numbed all the pain.

Now the day bleeds into nightfall

And you’re not here, to get me through it all.

I let my guard down, and then you pulled the rug,

I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved… ”

The women watched, shouted and screamed, while Jake sang. Jane noticed that Jake was always looking at their place with Nicole.

“Uyyy, the song looks like it’s for you.” Jane said, smiling at her.

“Ha? What are you talking about?” Nicole asked.

“Gosh, don’t pretend, Jake is always looking at you, aren’t you thrilled? Look at them, super thrilled with Jake’s song.” Jane teases Nicole.

“Tssk, let them thrill! I don’t care!” Nicole sighed and crossed her arms.

Jane just scratched her head at Nicole’s reaction.

“It’s up to you, you’re too narrow.” Said Jane.

As they happily watched Jake’s songs Nicole lost time in her mind. He looked at the time and it was 6:30 pm.

“Wait, it’s 6:30 pm.” said Nicole.

“What?” Jane asked.

“I was late for our meeting with Blue Sniper.” Said Nicole.

“Oh, of course you have a blind date, go ahead and go there!” command of Jane.

“Wait, I thought you were going with me?” Nicole asked.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Did I say that? I still enjoy watching, it’s just you.” said Jane.

“Friend, join me, please.” Said Nicole.

“Haist, okay, let’s go ahead.” Jane was forced to say.

But before they could get away Jake sang another song, but this time it’s memorable for Nicole.

“People say that I’m a fool,

Well, I don’t know

At least I found out what it takes to be strong

I was dreaming all day long,

a drifting cloud,

With eyes wide open

I would choose not to see.

Now I don’t want to see you anymore,

Don’t wanna be the one, to play your game

Not even if you smile,

Your sweetest smile,

Not even if you beg me,

Darling please…. ”

“Wait, wasn’t that the song when you kissed him, at the bar?!” smiling Jane said and they stopped and went back to their place again.

“Tssk, why did he even sing that?!” disgusted Nicole said.

“Why? Do you remember anything?” Jane teased while smiling at her.

“You know I forgot that and I didn’t mean it.” Said Nicole.

As Jake sang on stage it was as if her memory returned to that night. That scene, when she suddenly went on the stage and suddenly kissed Jake.

Nicole bowed, remembering that embarrassing scene.

That’s why she didn’t notice Jake approaching her, because she was just bent over. Jake continued singing until he came down the stage and confronted Nicole.

Nicole noticed the men’s shoes in front of her, she slowly looked up and saw Jake in front of her. Jake slowly takes off his shades in front of Nicole while singing.

She suddenly felt nervous to see Jake’s eyes staring at her and he suddenly moved close to her. Jake gave her a red rose and touched the back of her head and he softly kissed her.

Nicole’s eyes widened as Jake kissed her in front of so many people. She felt that her heartbeat was so fast that it almost came out of her chest. She could smell Jake’s fragrant breath and felt its soft lips on her lips.

She could not move as if she was frosted with nervousness and she just felt that Jake had stopped kissing her, and smiled at her.

He then returned to the stage and continued singing. While Nicole remained stunned and could not believe what had happened.

The crowd were shocked to witness Jake kiss Nicole in front of everyone. They were all shocked and surprised at what Jake had done. Then they were thrilled when Jake gave a flower to Nicole and even Jane was super thrilled it was for Nicole.

“Hey Nicole, he is so sweet!” Jane said while elbowing her in the side waist.

“Uhmm.” she just sighed.

“You know I think that way, Jake pronounced that you and him are lovers now!”

“What? No!” Nicole denies it.

“Just enjoy it!” She hugged her and she winked.

Jane was so happy for her friend.

After a while, a footstep of a man came in front of the basketball gym. He was in a hurry to get here to meet Nicole, but . . .

“Oh, I was too late…”
