After the investigation, Nicole and Jake find out that it was Amy who actually attempted it with Jane. They were all surprised to find that Amy had committed many crimes at her former school so she transferred to their school.
Jane’s parents also found out about this information and immediately went to the Precinct. Meanwhile, Jake and Nicole are back at school.
While walking to his classroom, Jake received a call from his Mother. And he answered it immediately.
“Hello Mom.” Jake answered.
“Son, let’s meet tomorrow.” Said his Mommy.
Jake was surprised, “Why, are you here now? When did you come? ” Jake asked.
“Yes Jake, I am here, I just came. Let’s meet tomorrow and bring your girlfriend along.” Said her Mommy.
“Okay Mom, what time will we meet?” Jake asked.
“Well, what time can you go?” asked his Mommy.
“Maybe just after class Mom.” Said Jake.
“Okay then, let’s just meet after your class at a restaurant, I’ll just tell you tomorrow where.” Said his Mom.
“Okay Mom, take care.” Said Jake.
“Okay see you tomorrow, take care too.” Said his Mom.
When they finished talking, Jake returned to their classroom.

The next day, it was the day they met his Mom, she told Nicole to get ready because he was going to introduce her to his Mother.
“Nicole, Mom came yesterday, she wants to see us.” Jake said while getting dressed.
“What? Will you take me?” Nicole asked.
“Yes, she wants to meet you too. So get ready, after our class, we will go straight there.” Said Jake.
Nicole was surprised by what Jake said, because she was not ready.
“What?! Will we meet later? Why did you just say that yesterday?” Nicole asked him.
“Why? What is the problem?” Jake frowned.
“I’m not ready, I did not fix what I will wear, you should have told me last night.” Said Nicole.
He sighed, “If you have nothing to wear we will just buy later.” Said Jake.
“What to buy? No, I’m just going to find a dress here in my closet.” Said Nicole.
“Okay then.” Said Jake.
Nicole then looked at her clothes, she showed it to Jake and Jake didn’t like her dresses.
“Well, it looks like you don’t have a sensible dress. Let me just buy you later.” Said Jake.
“Maybe this is possible, why do I need to get dressed?” Nicole complained.
Jake smiled and touched her cheeks, “You have to be a woman, even just for today Nicole.”
“Why is your Mom strict? She doesn’t want me to wear something simple?” Nicole asked.
He sighed, “Well, it’s your first time to meet my Mom so you need to be presentable.”
“Okay, I hope your Mom likes me.” Said Nicole.
“Yes, she will like you, just be yourself,” said Jake.
“Okay.” Smiling Nicole said.
Then she got dressed and at the same time they entered the classroom again.
After their class ended, they immediately went to the mall and Jake bought her a dress to wear. After they bought it, they went to the Salon to do her hair and make-up.
Nicole’s beauty came out when she put on make-up and fixed her hair.
“Is this really me?” Nicole could not believe what she saw in the mirror.
“Of course Maam, it’s only you! See? You are so beautiful!” said her hairdresser.
“Thank you for fixing me.” smiling Nicole said.
“You’re welcome Mam.” Smiling it says.
Then she stood up and she was also wearing the beige long dress they bought at the mall earlier. She approached Jake wearing a suit that was the color of his dress. Jake smiled at her.
“You look so awesome.” Jake said, smiling.
“Thank you. Do we really have to wear a formal dress?” Nicole asked.
“Ah, yes it is necessary.” Jake said sparingly.
“Okay.” Nicole replied.
“Okay, let’s go ahead.”
Then they went to the black limousine parked opposite the Salon. Nicole was surprised and she stopped Jake.
“Wait, shall we ride there?” Nicole asked.
“Yes why?” Jake asked.
“Wait, where did that come from?” and she whispered to Jake, “Did you steal that?”
Jake laughed at what Nicole said.
“No, I rent it. Come on, let’s go, we will be late.” Said Jake.
Then Nicole got in the car. This is the first time she was riding in this car. It is almost fully equipped, there are more drinks and food. Nicole wondered why Jake still had to rent an expensive car to the restaurant, where they could take a taxi.
“Hey Jake, why did you rent such an expensive car? We can just take a taxi.” Nicole asked Jake as he texted on his phone.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“Ah, because we can’t just take a taxi, we won’t be allowed in the restaurant.” Jake lied.
“What? They are very strict.” Said Nicole.
“Yes, that is their rules. don’t worry, my Mom will pay for it.” Jake said, smiling.
“Hmm, that’s why it’s okay for you to rent a car like this, your Mom will pay.” Said Nicole.
Soon the car stopped at a fancy restaurant. Jake and Nicole went out and entered the restaurant. They were immediately greeted by a waitress.
“Good evening Maam, Sir.” Smiling at them.
“Good evening, reservation for Mrs. George.” said Jake.
“Ah okay Sir, this way please.”
Then it immediately accompanied them to a private room. They went inside the room and they saw a beautiful woman who was quite old, she was beautiful with a smooth skin. And she looked rich because of her jewelry, she also noticed two men standing nearby and a gay man standing behind her.
She thinks maybe her personal assistant.
Jake immediately approached her and they hugged each other.
“Mom! Nice to see you!” Jake’s happy greeting.
“I’m happy to see you too!” his Mom greeted him warmly and they both hugged.
“By the way, this is my girlfriend, Nicole Richard.” Jake introduces her to his mother.
“Good evening.” Nicole smiled.
Jake’s Mommy looked at her from head to toe.
“Good evening Nicole, you are so beautiful.” she said with a smile and hugged her and kissed her on the cheek.
Then they sat down and talked happily. While Jake and his Mom were talking, the food they ordered came.
Nicole, on the other hand, noticed that the gay tasted the food first, before putting it on the table. Then when he doesn’t like it, he does not assume it on the table.
She wondered what he was doing, because only now had she seen something like this. She also could not answer their conversation of Jake and his mother because their language was different while talking.
“Okay let’s eat first.” Said Jake.
“How is your school Nicole?” Jake’s Mom asked.
“It’s okay Maam.” Nicole replied.
“It would be good then. I heard about the loss of your best friend, I’m sorry.” Jake’s Mom said.
Nicole just bowed her head and continued to eat.
“Well, how is my father?” Jake asked his Mom.
“Your father is good now, but the Doctor said he needs more rest. So his blood pressure will go down. He needs you Jake. You know your father is getting old, he needs you to take care of everything.” his Mom said while holding his hand.
Jake sighed, “I will have business here to take care off too. I don’t think this is the right time to go back.” Jake said.
“Well, I hope you think about it first! Please come back to us, when you decide. The business is continuing to go down, if you do not come back so soon. Please son, just ignore your father’s tantrum. We need you!” his Mom said.
“I will think about it Mom,” he said.
“Okay, I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible.” his Mom said.
“When will you come back home?” Jake asked his Mom.
“Maybe next week.” his Mom said.
“Ah okay then.” Jake said.
After they talked and ate, they said goodbye to Jake’s Mom.
“Okey Mom, take care! Let’s see each other again before you leave.” Jake said.
“Yes Son, I love to see you again. I miss you.” And she hugged again her son.
“Okay Mom, take care of yourself here,” said Jake.
“Okay, don’t worry about me.” his Mom said.
After they said goodbye to his Mom, they rode again in the limousine and back to their school.
While lying in her bed, Nicole thought about what happened, she was so happy to meet Jake’s Mom. She thinks she wants Jake to meet her parents too soon.
She was so happy, that his mother was so kind and humble. She hopes her parents accept Jake too, as Jake’s mother who accepted her.
The next day, as Nicole was walking down the hallway she met Harry and he approached her and greeted her.
“Hi Nicole, how are you?” Harry asked, smiling.
“It’s still a bit sad because of Jane’s disappearance. You, how are you now?” Nicole asked.
“Ah, I’m sorry for the loss of your friend. If you need someone to talk to or sympathize with I am just here.” Said Harry.
“Thank you Harry.” Nicole said sadly.
Then Harry hugged her tightly.
Meanwhile, Jake goes to Nicole’s classroom, to pick her up, but Jake walks stunned to see Nicole and Harry hugging.
He immediately approached them and was angry at what he saw.
“What is the meaning of this?” Jake asked them angrily.
They both looked at Jake and they saw the tiger look at the two of them. Nicole immediately walked away from Harry and approached Jake to explain.
“Ah, Jake -” but when Nicole spoke, Jake suddenly rushed at Harry and punched him in the face.
Harry and Nicole were surprised by what Jake did. He tries to punch him again, but Nicole stops him.
“Jake, stop it! You are thinking wrong!” said Nicole.
“Yes, we are just talking here.” said Harry.
“You are just talking? While hugging her, huh?!” annoyingly said of Jake.
“Jake, we didn’t do anything, please believe me.” Nicole said.
And she approached Jake, but Jake was still angry and walked away.
“Jake!!!” Chase by Nicole, but Jake didn’t stop.
She tries to follow Jake, but Harry held her arm. She confusingly looked at Harry.
“Just stay here, maybe he need space.” Harry said to her.
“No.” Nicole pull back her arm and ran away to chase Jake.
