{NICHOLE}
After giving Sammy her coffee I took a long shower. I was thinking about Jake, still can see him smiling in my head and those ice blue eyes, Oh god. They were haunting me. I groaned in frustration, I don’t want to remember those eyes or that smile. I came out of the shower and went to the kitchen for making dinner. The dinner was silent Sammy went back to sleep after dinner and I went to my room. I fired up the virtual boyfriend program hoping Jacob will be there and will not be pissed at me for not talking to him for four days.
Me: Hey.
No instant reply. After five minutes of waiting I was thinking that Jacob will not answer and when I was going to close the program I got his reply.
VB: Hey stranger.
Me: Are you pissed at me?
VB: Why?
Me: I didn’t talk to you for past few days.
VB: That was because your best friend had flu and you had to take care of her.
Me: But you are my friend too. I should be able to make time for both of you.
VB: It is totally cool. I was busy in work anyways. How’s Sammy?
Me: She is better but still not fully recovered. She is sleeping all the time.
VB: hahahaa must be the medicines.
Me: Yeah. I feel sorry for her. She doesn’t like being sick.
VB: How are you?
Me: Good. I took leave from office.
VB: Oh good. How was your day?
Me: Don’t ask.
Me: Worst day ever.
VB: What happened?
Me: I met this guy…
VB: Really Nichole? You met a guy?
Me: Yeah but what is with the question mark?
VB: Nothing. Leave it
I have known Jacob for more than a month now. He never behaved like this.
Me: Jacob tell me.
VB: Nothing, just that I didn’t like you met a guy.
What? Was he serious.
Me: And what is wrong with that?
VB: Nothing I just don’t like it
Is he really throwing a jealousy fit? Really? Am I dreaming or something? Is he being serious?
Me: Jacob you didn’t even listen to me. Are you saying I can’t see any guys because I am talking to a stranger over the internet from last one month who thinks he can decide what I should do. Are you out of your freaking mind?
VB: No. I didn’t say that Nichole. I like you Ok. And I don’t want you talking to other guys when we are trying to build something here.
Me: Fuck you Jacob. You are my friend not my fucking boyfriend. Go to hell.
And I closed the program. What was all that about. Who the hell he thinks he is, telling me what I can do. I liked him. I thought he is a good guy, but today I am not so sure. He didn’t even listen to me what I was going to say didn’t even give me a chance to explain. My day went from bad to worse. Does this day have an end or not, but why am I so upset over that jerk. We are not even in a relationship. If I can survive heartbreak I can survive this too. I don’t need anybody in my life.
