Better Than You—Chapter One
It started like any ordinary day.
Jake Rosenbloom had someone to meet at/a meeting with someone at the park. His girlfriend, Amy Cahill, was going to stay home and cook. That was good for Jake, because he didn't want Amy to come with him. The person he was meeting was a only-Jake type of person.
Finally, Jake got to the park. There, sitting on the bench with her shirt showing way too much cleavage, sat Sinead Starling. She grinned at him from where she sat. Jake couldn't help but feel a magnetic force drawing him toward her.
If there was one thing Sinead knew, it was that she was better than the rest of the female population. This opinion was immediately reinforced when Jake sprinted straight toward her, not hesitating at all. Her grin got wider. She knew Jake loved her more than that Cahill. Why would he spend a perfectly good Sunday with her instead of Amy if he didn't?
"Hey, boy!" Sinead called to Jake.
"Hi, Sinead." Jake panted. He was slightly tired from running over from one side of the park to the other, but he didn't mind.
"You see something you like, don't ya?" She asked, her lips curving into a flirtatious smile.
"Yep." Jake replied. Giving her a peck on the lips, he added, "You!"
Sinead reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck. She pulled him down and kissed him passionately. Jake kissed her back, deepening it. Sinead reached around his waist, and sent her hands traveling up his shirt. In response, Jake leaned down a bit and slowly moved closer to Sinead's cleavage. But suddenly he looked up, and Sinead wondered why. Then she realized that his phone had vibrated, meaning he had gotten a text. He looked at his phone, and saw that he had a text from Amy.
Amy: Get Home, NOW!
Jake almost scoffed at the use of perfect grammar, even while texting. She was so…boring.
"I'm sorry, Sinead, but I really have to go." Jake said, slightly disappointed..
Sinead pouted for a while, and realized he hasn't dumped Amy…yet. Who else could that text have been from? And more importantly, why hadn't he dumped her yet?
Meanwhile, Jake was almost getting roasted by the fiery, ultra-hot glare that Amy was giving him.
"What e-excuse d-do you have…have for this?" Amy yelled, brandishing her phone. She was stuttering, a sure sign that she was really, really upset.
There, clear as day, were Sinead and Jake, kissing. Jake realized with horror that someone had seen them. But how? And even more mystifying: who?
"I…um, er, I was…," Jake hesitated, wondering how he was going to squeeze out of this.
"Thank god Cara was morally justified enough that she sent this, unlike two double-crossers that I know!" Amy was starting to tear up.
That answers that question, thought Jake. He sighed.
"You were cheating on me! I never want to see you again!" Amy yelled, sobbing. Tears flowed freely down her cheeks.
"Fine. Your loss." Jake told her, sighing again. He had set his face into an indifferent, guilt-free mask, which was how he felt…Mostly.
Once Jake left, Amy fell to the floor in a heap of sobs. She had lost the only guy who made her feel safe. She had lost her guy.
—-—-—-—-—-—–—-—
"Tell me again why you're moving in?" Sinead asked in her most seductive voice.
"Cara sent her pic of us in the park," Jake replied. Any trace of guilt that he had felt before was entirely gone.
"Basically, Cara dumped her for you. How useful." Sinead purred.
"I guess. I didn't want it to happen that way, though." Jake sighed a third time.
"Well it happened, didn't it?" Sinead whispered in his ear. "And more importantly, it happened for a reason."
"Yes, miss. It did happen for a reason: so I could be with you." Jake cooed. He kissed her passionately.
Slowly, they made their way to the bed. Suddenly Jake stopped. "Are you sure you want to go through this?" Jake asked her.
"Yes, sly boy. You're the one that truly loves me." Sinead purred.
