Chocolate Cake
By Nopickup
"I wish I just ate that piece of cake."
Emma sat on a chair, her elbows resting on the table, supporting her head.
"Why do you wish that you just ate that piece of cake?"
Jesse suddenly came. He sat down at the other edge of the table, opposite Emma. Emma looked at him sadly.
"If I had eaten that piece of cake, I wouldn't be able to see Brennan and Shalimar kissing each other."
Jesse became confused.
"Ha?"
"The cake is already within my reach. My left hand was holding the plate where the cake stood and my other hand at the door of the refrigerator. But I had second thoughts of eating it because Adam told me not to touch that cake because it was his favorite."
Jesse's eyebrows met.
"So I put it back in the refrigerator and closed its door. I walked ahead and saw Shalimar kissing Brennan. I was so shocked."
Jesse laughed. Emma glared at him.
"Why would you be shocked? Well we all know that Bren and Shal are having an understanding."
Emma rolled her eyes and crossed her arms on her waist.
"I know that there is some kind of a thing happening between the two of them, but… you know that. Bren shouldn't have been with Shalimar."
Jesse rested one elbow on the table to support his head.
"Everything was perfect. I met Brennan in the bar. I asked him for help because some bad guys working for Eckart were chasing me. And then he helped me. He was still so cute at that time. But now he looks like a hermit."
Jesse laughed.
"You know that? We were always together since we got here. When we're in a mission, he's the one who always saves me when I'm in trouble. I thought we were really the perfect, cute couple. And then… and then… I didn't expect we would end up like this."
Emma acted like she was a little out of her mind. She leaned back and fell from her chair. Jesse looked surprisingly at her, trying to hold back his laughter.
"I really didn't expect we would end up like this. I really didn't. Everything was perfect and then… and then… no! I can't take this anymore." Emma wailed exaggeratedly.
Jesse lifted an eyebrow. Emma acted like she was crying.
"Em… you're exaggerating."
"I know."
Jesse stared at her. He laughed. Emma looked at him and gave him a bad look.
"What are you laughing at?"
Jesse continued on laughing. Emma kept on glaring at him until Jesse finally stopped.
"Want to eat a chocolate cake?"
Emma's bad looks went away. She thought for a while and then smiled.
"Okay."
