Maybe I should just skip this Christmas?

How many times have I told Jasper that I am never going to talk to him?

Don't ask me why I am angry. I am just so mad that I'll kill him!

We decided to meet at Lily's Cafe. Jasper and I were going to celebrate this Christmas alone at his penthouse.

And what does he do?

He ghosted me!

He forgot about the meeting because he was busy driving his niece to her father's place! How a sweet little liar he is! I think he must have gone with the boys!

I hate Daniel. He is the only bachelor in the entire group. And he thinks that since I came into his friend's life, his life has been destroyed. Wait till he gets a girlfriend!

I was driving my car when Jasper called me.

"You left?" he said as soon as I picked up his call. Did I tell you that he doesn't like waiting?

"I waited two hours for you, Jasper. Two hours!" I said, trying to calm my voice. I wanted to shout at him and tell him that I'd leave him forever, but I think this situation should be handled in a calm way. Jade's way

"I know. I am sorry. "I and Daniel..."

"Uhh.." a low, irritating voice escaped me. Hadn't I told you before? I knew this. Daniel was behind all this.

"What happened?" Jasper asked.

"Why does Daniel not like me?"

"Why do you think like that?" now Jasper was laughing. It's not the right time to react this way, dear.

"The way he talks to me?"

"I never noticed that, dear." It's Daniel, and you shouldn't be taking him seriously. No one takes him seriously. "You know, the same way I was before I met you."

This... helped to calm me down a little.

I don't want to listen to him because I waited for two hours and those four coffees had gotten on my nerves.

I remember how Jasper was before. I do remember him clearly. "How can I forget that?" I said.

He was a source of contention for me.I had a love-hate relationship with the old Jasper, but that was the person I fell in love with.

"You are listening to me, right?" You know he can be crazy sometimes, but he is my best man. I can trust him blindly...." I thought he would end here, but then he silently added, "Just like you."

Now, what should I say to this?

"You know, he sometimes has issues with the girls in our group.It's not just you. "He feels threatened to see any girlfriend in our group," he laughed. "He is crazy; I have to agree with that."

"Fine." I was taking my car slowly. All my anger has gone away.

"But at least tell me where the hell you were." I asked.

"You won't get angry, right?"

"depends.."

"Hmm... we were in the club," he said almost quietly.

"Millionaire's Club?" I asked.

"Yup."

"What exactly did you do?"

"You gonna ask me that?"

"Yes, I will." "You made me..."

"Yeah yeah.. I waited for you for two hours. So you're going to punish me for the next two years, I guess."We talked about our business, and then everything pointed towards me."

I reached my place, and it was all silent. I was getting goosebumps; I don't know why. I was about to unlock my door but stopped when Jasper became silent.

"You there?" I asked.

"Yes, I wanted to ask you something, Jade."

"Yes," I said as I opened the door.

"Merry Christmas, Jade! and Happy Birthday!"

"Oh!" I jumped.

I looked and saw that my whole place was decorated, and I could see a tree on the far end corner. I saw Jasper sitting on the sofa with a big green gift on his lap.

"Don't ask me much, Jade. Just close the door and let me lead."
