Chapter 0222

“Quick,” I hissed to Viona, snapping my fingers. “Get your phone ready!”

Sputtering on her coffee, Viona fumbled with her phone and nearly dropped it in her haste. We both watched, wide–eyed, as Jake greeted Drake with a warm hug.

“Holy shit,” Viona whispered, snapping pictures furiously. “He’s actually hugging him!”

I could barely believe what I was seeing. Jake sat down across from Drake, leaning in close as they began to talk. At one point, Jake reached out and touched Drake’s hand, his fingers lingering there for a moment too long to be purely friendly.

“This is insane,” I muttered, shaking my head in disbelief.

Suddenly, Jake’s head started to turn in our direction. I grabbed Viona’s arm, yanking her down behind the plant.

“Shit!” Viona hissed. “Do you think he saw us?”

We held our breath, hardly daring to move. After a few tense seconds, I risked a peek around the plant. Jake was back to focusing on Drake, seemingly oblivious to our presence.

“I think we’re okay,” I whispered, letting out a sigh of relief.

We stayed hidden for the rest of Jake and Drake’s ‘date‘, occasionally sneaking glances and more pictures. After about an hour, Jake finally stood up to leave. We watched as he gave Drake another hug, this one lasting even longer than the first.
