Bab 52: First dispute
April was shocked by the kiss and she enjoyed it very much but she was not in the mood to have casual sex tonight. She pushed Adam away when their lips parted. "I am really upset about losing the guy I like. It has been awhile since I last got really interested in someone. I am sorry." "En, don't worry, why don't we take things slow. I have never really took anything slow before, it'd be nice for a change. I'll be hanging around here for a month, why don't we try dating a few times, if we are not compatible, then at least we had try. I think it is fated that we've met a few times. What do you think?"
"Em, I'll think about it, I got to go and this is my number." She got up and left. Adam just leaned back and watched her leave. Why not? I'll just give this a go. I'll put some effort in pursuing her. This might just be worthwhile since I have nothing to do at the moment. After drinking a few drinks and ignoring the ladies that were ogling him, he left. He saved her number in his phone.
A few weeks went by peacefully, Derek and Jade were both busy with their work but they always made some time for each other and they made a rule, no matter how busy they were they must return home and sleep in each others arms. Today is a Saturday, but Jade had to go for a site visit, she has plan to build air BnB lodging concept on the highland she had just purchased and she wants that area to be developed. Derek who came home late last night was adamant to send her to the site visit. Jade insisted she could just ask the driver to send her there. Finally, she relented. In the evening, Sarah invited them to her place for a BBQ party. Jade calculated she'd be done by 4 pm. After discussing with Derek, they decided to get to Sarah's place around 6pm.
However, Jade finished earlier than expected and texted Derek that she was done. She greeted Derek with a kiss once she entered the car and she started working on her proposal on her laptop. She read the message from Sarah that most of them are already there and they have started. She replied that they are on the way. However, she failed to communicate this to Derek who thought they were heading home first. She was typing rapidly on her keyboard and was nearly done with the proposal. That was when she looked around and realised they were on the way back home. "Eh, why are we going home? Aren't we going to Sarah's place?" "Aren't we supposed to go there at 6pm?" "Ah, that was based on my estimation that I'd finish late. Since I finished early, and Sarah texted that they have already started, so I told her we are on our way." "Then why didn't you tell me you changed the plan?" "Eh, I thought you understood."
Jade could sense the frustration in Derek's face and his brows were gathered together indicating that he is unhappy. He looked worn out and undeniably displeased. "I am sorry, it is just that you've always understood me without me conveying much and I took it for granted that you'd come to the same conclusion." She took his hand in hers. Derek didn't pull away but he didn't respond either. He kept his silence and continue to drive and key in Sarah's address in the car's GPS navigation system. Oh no, he is a angry. This is the first time she had to deal with an angry Derek and she didn't know what to do. She kept silent as well and the journey to Sarah's place was extremely quiet and tense.
Derek was tired from all the driving and he would appreciate it if Jade could pay more attention to her surroundings than immerse herself in work. What irritated him was they were already about 2 minutes away from home, only she realised they weren't on the way to Sarah's place. Sarah lives opposite end of their area and will take them another 45 minutes to arrive. He decided to keep quiet because he is afraid he might say things that he would live to regret. He is not in the right mind to rationalize the situation and unsure if he played a role as well in all the misunderstanding.
The moment they alighted the car, everyone who was present could sense the weird atmosphere this two were bearing. They were even more quiet than usual and the usual PDA was absent. They were still holding hands but they had some distance between them. Derek had a grim expression while Jade appears guilty. Everybody felt opressed with the current atmosphere. Jason, the goof, decided to intervene. "Long drive? tired? come, come rest first." He acted as if he was the host, causing Jess to raise an eyebrow. Is he familiar with Sarah's place? she was displease thinking about it. They are friends and Sarah has already mentioned she is not into guys. Plus, Jason has no relation whatsoever with me, why do I feel jealous.
Derek gave Jason a glare and ignore him instead. Jade and Derek sat beside each other but both were quiet. Jade was very sad, she had apologize but he had yet to response. Does he not love me anymore? Why is he not saying anything? She got up and went to sit under the tree giving off the impression she wanted to be alone, Derek was sulking at one corner. Master Lee tried to approach his son but was also given the cold shoulder. Derek closed his eyes for a moment to get some clarity. When he opened his eyes, he saw his wife's back and for some reason, she appeared lonely and sad. Did I do that to her? He quickly approached her and gave her a hug from behind. Jade who was about to drive herself crazy from all the negative thoughts that were swirling in her mind, felt a huge burden lifted off her shoulders when she felt the familiar arms and warmth. She didn't know why but she started to sob. Derek begun to panic. Oh no.. I promised I won't make her sad but I did it today. I should shoot myself for reneging in my promise.
He turned her around to face him and showered her face with light kisses. "Sorry baby, so sorry. Sorry for being mean and a grumpy puss." "I was afraid that you no longer love me." She sobbed harder. "Silly girl. There be times that we need to face these kind of tricky situation in the future but please don't ever doubt the love I have for you. When I'm angry or displeased, I like it quiet and I rather not speak because I might end up saying hurtful words that I don't think can be retracted once said" "I am sorry, I was inconsiderate today and should have told you the change of plans instead of expecting you to understand." "It's my fault too for not clarifying and if I was tired I should've just told you I want to stick to the old plans instead. I love you." They hugged each other tightly and ended the dispute with an explosive kiss. The icy cold atmosphere dissipated in an instant.
