Chapter 5 Jame, I'm... I'm a Singer

He pulled me at my room. Wait how did---ah yeah, I actually introduce him to my room a while ago. Argh, Jame! You're stressed lately!

He locked the door. I am still confused that I can't wait to what he will say. He's not Crissy's ex right? Yeah, right---or not?

"Jame" I snapped back at reality and stared at him.

"Can we sit?" I asked and he nods. We sat at my bed facing each other.

"Jame, I know this will be shocking for you"

"It already is" I laugh "Okay"

"But I don't want to waste any time not to say the truth to you." he sighed

"I want to keep this as a secret because I think you will just a total stranger and a memory to me but" he looked at me in the eye

"But you are not"

'What's going on?'

"Besides, I don't want you to hear this from different people" he paused "I want you to hear this from my mouth" I nods

"Please, you may be shocked but p-please" he held my hands "Please don't leave me after this"

"W-why? What is it? You're making me nervous, Jake"

He them sighed --- "Jame, I'm" he seriously looked at me in the eye ---

"Jame, I'm a singer. They said I'm famous but I don't brag it that much"

Wait --- a famous singer? Jake? What? I- I don't know what to say, Jake is a famous --

"SINGER?" I exclaimed, he nods looking down

"I'm sorry for not telling you at the first place, Jame"

he sighed, "I was scared you might treat me the way others treat me. You know, special, fragile, something I don't want to feel." he added

I am still confused but I gathered my words, "Why? Why don't you want those attentions they gave to you? It's natural for a singer, and if you don't want that kind of treatment then why did you chose to be a singer at the first place?" I asked

Now, I remembered. The first time we met, those girls that are whispering and taking a picture of us or of Jake is that because he's not just regular at Lily's Cafe but--- because he's a famous one. I feel so betrayed yet I'm trying to understand his situation.

"It's because being a singer is not the profession I want" he sighed

"I did this because of grandpa. He wants me to sing for crowd that he never did before" he paused and looked at me,

"But, Jame. I'm still an average guy. You met the true me, the Jake Sihmon that is introvert and funny, not the Jake Sihmon that everyone's ideal guy"

"Jake," my voice cracked

"I know what it's like to be and to do something you don't want, but you are not alone. You are amazing, in more ways than one and if that means singing then so be it" he was silent for a while, his mind working as he stared at me.

"I-I don't know what to say" his face lit up with a huge smile

"Thank you" he hugged me tightly, his body warm and soft. I smiled and hugged him back,

"It's no problem. I am not mad at you and I understand your situation. This may just a lil bit new to have a celebrity friend but I think I can get used to it" I laughed

"That's why you dressed extremely black when you're going out, huh" I smirked

He shyly scratches the back of his neck, "Yeah. In order to spend time with myself without my manager or body guard, I need to dress like this" we laughed,

"And you don't look bad at all" I added. His eyes brighten up once again

"You also think I would look too good even in casual clothes?"

"I didn't say you would" I laughed and he rolled his eyes. I laughed again seeing his face like that, imagine fans seeing him rolling his eyes with embarrassment. I felt him chuckling too, crossing his arms as if trying to contain his laughter.

"Ah, I have one question" I remembered the question I forgot a while ago

"What is it?"

"Why did you sit with me that day when there's a lot of empty seats?"

I asked and see him blushing.

"Um, well. It's just...um...." he stuttered, looking everywhere but me

"I wanted to talk to someone that time. And you're the one who doesn't recognize me, didn't even look at me as a celebrity but a weirdo, so I eventually chose you over all of empty seats"

"C-chose me?" I stuttered

"I-I mean, chose your sit... to sit with you"

We sat for a little while. We talked about anything that came to our minds and laughed together, until we saw the clock on the wall, we are talking half an hour, maybe Crissy thinks something different now lol

Anyways, we went out to see Crissy in the couch ---

"Oh my God, we're so sorry" We saw Crissy sitting on the couch--- with Devon! I didn't hear my doorbell rings a while ago.

By the way, we saw them at the couch---kissing! Me and Jake are both shocked as I cover my mouth in shockness. I didn't know they have something going on between them! Crissy didn't told me anything ---but the moment she invited Devon here? I sense something right away lol

"Oh my---" Crissy laughs aloud while Devon blushes while scratching his nape

"Jame, don't be so dramatic, we're not having sex" as she rolled her eyes to me and shift her gaze to Jake

"Oh my God, sorry you saw me that way Jake---but it's okay I don't mind. I know you like Jame" I pinch her to stop. Jake smirked and looked at me, I mouthed "sorry" but he smirked more.

"Sorry for your loss, but if you want us to pretend we don't see this, we can do it" Jake smirked which makes her blush, that bijj ha!

I'm about to say something but she cut me off by saying "No, thank you very much. If you want to brag it, go. I don't care" she laughs again. Her confidence wow

"You should really consider taking up a career as a professional comedian" I joke making her laugh. She rolls her eyes and stopped--- she then look at me straight in my eye

"You think I should?" she asked me and I nodded then laughs again. The two guys are watching us bickering at each other and we stopped as we smiled awkwardly hehe

"So now, what did you two do in your room, Jame?" she ask and winked at me making me blush like a little girl, my face is red

"Shut up. We didn't do anything like you two did" I rolled my eyes. I shifted my gaze to Devon "Right? Officer?" I laughs

"Call me Devon" as he laughs too. I smirked and nodded as I stand up and arrange our foods. Crissy followed me behind so the guys remained at the sofa. I heard Crissy asks them to find some movies to watch before heading to me.

"So, what did you two do?" she whispered at me as she grab a handful of chips

"Just talking about him being a celebrity --- you know, obviously I don't know him"

Crissy's eyes got bigger---

"You don't know him?!" she whispered but almost shouting

I nodded, "Yeah, I was just too busy and I limit myself to social media for my mental health too"

"Ah" was her response as she always eat the chips

"Gah, don't eat it yet!" I said as I try to take some of the chip but she get back to the guys. I shaked my head and smiled. I took some container of water in case they want to drink. But, I doubt it. Beers are the best haha

We sat and make ourselves comfortable. As usual the two love birds are still together, as I sit with Jake.

"What will we watch?" I asked

"Can you handle horror movies?" Devon asked. I smirked before answering ---

"You don't know me" I said and points Crissy "I guess you should directly ask that girl behind you" Crissy glared at me and I smirked.

"O-of course! I can watch it! Even without blinking my eye!" I laughs with her lies

"Oh really? Then we should watch some horror" I smirked at Crissy that is now sighing in disbelief HAHAHA

I lean at Jake and asked him--- "Is it okay to you?" he looked at me shyly--- don't say you---

"You don't watch horrors?" I asked him . He looked at me embarrassed, "I-I can---but---it depends on my mood" he stuttered.

"Ah, really? It's okay, I'm here, I can cover your eyes" I winked at him and saw him blushing. I blushed as soon as I saw it, he's so cute!

Devon plays movie--- The Nun. I looked at Jake who is now trembling --- just kidding. He always drink the can of his beer and act like a tough man haha so cute

As he looks at the tv and starts watching the movie---I'm surprised when he start chuckling because of what happened. I chuckle as I see him shaking in his seat.

The first few scenes are already scary so---

"AHHH!"

Crissy shouts that made all of us shocked. I looked at her almost laughing when I saw her hugging Devon behind. I smirked, this bijj knows how to play.

I also looked at Jake and almost got a heart attack when his face is literally so near to mine. I quickly turned away before he sees me blushing but it didn't work because he caught my gaze even with the dark.

I felt my cheeks heat up as I quickly looked away from his intense gaze until he gave me a small smile as if saying "It's okay".

'Gosh Jame'

I cleared my throat and tried to watch the movie again. But the peripheral view of mine sees the Jake is still looking at me.

"W-what are you looking at?" I asked without looking at him.

"Your face. It's better than that scary one "

he giggles as I looked at him also laughing. This guy---

"So you're admitting you are scared huh"I smirked

"Yeah I am, can you cover my eyes with your hands?" he playfully asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Cover your ass" and I smiled
