The Loneliness pt2

"Alexis,I love you like a sister but I do not want to meet anyone!"
"Jade its been several years since you and Mitchell divorced and he is living his life,you should get on with yours!"
"Really Alexis give it a rest!"
"Your so pig headed Jade,you have let too many years go by being lonely because of what that bastard did to you,you deserve to be happy too!"

Jade knew there was truth to this but she just didn't want to be bothered.Unbeknown to anyone,Jade had met someone a year ago at a book signing.His name was Jared Miller.He had the prettiest smile she had ever seen.He was the owner of Jules, one the biggest fine dining restaurant chains in the country.They happen to meet by chance that day and they became fast friends.Jared was in a relationship which made it even easier for Jade to deal with him.She felt it was safe because he was off limits.The communicated often online or via text message.They would bump into each other at many social functions,but that was as far as it went.Then one day out of the blue Jared called to inform her that he and Lydia broke up.
WOW was all she could say.She didn't know how to take this news.Would it change the nature of their relationship?Jade liked being in the friend zone.What would she do if he wanted to step outside of that?

Jade had gotten accustom to the loneliness and she had to find a way to get Jared out of her life so that she could continue to be lonely.

"Jade did you hear me?"
"O I'm sorry what did you say Alexis?"
"I said your cellphone is ringing".
What know Jade thought out loud,I don't even recognize this number....
"Hello".
"Jade it's me Mitchell".
