It seems that men and women are more interested in someone who appears unattainable. You and Jake both use that, and each other, to your benefit. Posing as a couple, you set the trap and you wait to see which little fishy will take the bait. In the air and on the ground, your coordinated wingmen, and the dynamic works in both settings. Plus it’s not like it's a hardship having Jake’s full attention. He’s gorgeous, charming, sweet (when no one else is around) and it’s a good ego boost to have him flirt with you.
Tonight holds promise for both of you. Jake had accompanied you to the bar in town, to make sure your Tinder date, Nick, was legit and not a psycho axe murderer. Jake’s arrival with a woman on his arm attracted the attention of every single female in the vicinity. The woman who had taken Jake’s bait, was putty in his hands. Hanging on his every word with a giggle or a sigh, before your date even showed up. Ten minutes early - tick one for Nick.
Nick actually looks like his picture. He could break the internet without trying. His jawline could slice an apple in half, piercing light blue eyes, tanned skin, and shaggy dark hair. You wonder if he’s a part time model and just hasn’t disclosed that information yet.
From across the bar, you see Jake’s new friend make a beeline for the bathroom and you know he’s sealed the deal. They always ‘freshen up’ before they take him home. He swaggers toward you, nodding at Nick’s back with an approving smile and throwing a thumbs up before stepping around him.
Jake can be such an idiot. I love when he’s all flustered and outside of his comfort zone. Adorable.😍😍
He’s an adorable dork when he’s in looooooove 💋
