Jarley: Be Mine Forever

Chapter 15

Jake grabbed his phone and walked into the closet looking for what to wear, he dialed his friends number and put the phone down after putting the speaker on.

"Jake, my man. Where the hell have you been? You haven't called or texted me in two weeks."

"Sorry, I was... busy."

"Busy, huh? What kind of busy? 'I was to lazy' busy or 'I was with someone' busy?

"I was with someone, okay. She's kept me busy and I have enjoyed every minute of it."

"Oh, and who may this woman that is stealing my best friend away be?"

"Marley."

"Marley?! As in the Marley? The Marley I heard about almost every night for five years?"

"Yes, that Marley and keep your voice down. You're on speaker."

"Wait, she's with you?"

"No she's downstairs. But I don't want her to hear you."

"Okay, fine I'll be quiet. You're back in NYC?"

"Yeah, we are here for the weekend. I needed to take some things back home with me."

"Are you two dating? I told you I could get you a part in this production. They'd be glad to have you."

"We are dating and I don't want the part. I already have way too much money and I need to be with Marley. I'm probably going back to LA with her."

"LA, really?"

"Yes."

"You'd do all that for one girl?"

"Two actually."

"What do you mean two? Oh, I forgot she's "the one" right?"

"She is the one and about the two thing it's... complicated."

"Oooh, I don't like complicated. But, I am your best guy friend and you have to tell me."

"Not over the phone. Are you busy today?"

"No, rehearsal is over and I have the rest of the day free. Why?"

"I want you to meet her. Bring Sarah if you want." Jake said referring to Michael's girlfriend.

"Okay, I will, I don't think Sarah will want to come. She's been extra pregnant lately. If you tell me what's going on with the whole two thing."

"That's fine, if Sarah doesn't want to she doesn't have to. I'll call you to come over for dinner. I'll try and tell you tonight, okay?"

"It's a plan. I can't wait to meet the famous Marley Rose, who is literally famous. I also can't wait to meet the girl you fell in love with."

"I'll text you when we get back. I'm taking her to a surprise."

"Okay, man. Have fun with your surprise."

"Okay, bye Michael."

"Bye, Jake."

Jake hung up the phone and walked out of the closet, while he was on the phone he got dressed. He headed downstairs towards Marley, she was sitting on the couch sipping coffee cuddled in a blanket looking out the window.

"Hey, Marls." Marley looked at Jake, then unwrapped herself from the blanket and set her coffee on the table before scooting next to him.

"Are you ready to go?" Marley said grabbing his hand

"Yeah."

"So what's the schedule like for today?"

"Well, I am taking you to my favorite restaurant for lunch. Then, we can actually go shopping today for a while instead of tomorrow, next we are going to my surprise, and after that we are coming back here to have dinner with my friend, Michael. Does that sound good?"
