A CEO's Revenge Marriage Accidentally in Love

Chapter 51

Winnie

I’m lounging on the couch and wondering what I should do with my life. My exams are over, and endless time is on my hands. I will intern at Tobias’s company in a couple of weeks, but right now, my life is dull.

I don’t even have friends to hang with… like, why am I living in this city when everyone

else has moved?

I miss the twins…

A sudden image of Jake’s head between my legs plays in my mind, and I shudder in my

seat.

It’s been two weeks since Jake ate me out. He is back in his own city now. I watched his game on the TV a couple of minutes ago. Jake and Mark played well. It was

unfortunate to see Jake get an ugly black eye after crashing into the plexiglass.

But… his team won.

I’m happy for him but also a bit perplexed. I saw a pretty girl kissing Jake’s cheek on the TV. The scene only lasted a few seconds, yet it was enough to see her lips form the words, “Poor baby.”

As I think back on this, a weird feeling settles over me. My chest is hurting, and my heart is pounding in an irregular rhythm. I’ve never felt like this before. Could it be jealousy? Of that girl with Jake?

I stare at the TV, but they no longer focus on Jake. He is in the background somewhere, and I feel a twinge of longing. I always used to watch his games back in college.

Not being in the hockey fan club anymore sucks. I miss going to the games and wearing… well… I used to wear Jake’s jersey. But I’m guessing that will never happen again.

Jake and I are friends, but it’s not like

before. We don’t hang out as we did in

college, nor do we text each other anymore, and now, if he is together with a girl, I should just lay off.

But I suppose congratulating the twins is

proper. I text them the same generic

message.

Me: I just saw your game on the TV! It

looked tough and sweaty! Congratulations on your big win!

Jake sees the message but doesn’t respond. Mark does, though.

Mark: Winnie!
