The Law of Attraction

Jorge was losing his mind over this action of Miley. Her strange behaviour had troubled him and he didn't know how to solve things.

He picked his car keys, and within a few minutes he was inside his car. He started the engine and pressed the accelerator fiercely and his car sped off.

He took out his phone and searched, then dialled Gab's number. He was sure Miley would not answer him, so he dialed Gab's number instead since he had it.

"Are you still with Miley? Don't you dare stick your dirty eyes at her and you better keep your hands off her if you like to see them intact. Now send me the address where you two are eating right away. Father is asking for it." he casually asked, hoping Gab would buy his alibi.

He heaved a quiet sigh hearing Gab's answer, "Alright." So he ended the call and beamed victoriously when he received Gab's message with the address.

He was aware Gab was interested in Miley, but he did not dare make a move since Miley was very vocal in blocking him by saying she only saw him as a friend whenever Gab tried to make a move on her or asked her out.

Gab was at the restaurant with Miley and had the expressions of a sacrificial goat on his face. He scratched his head while looking at Miley, who had an ear to ear grin. He only knew how difficult a situation he was in right at that moment...

"What are you doing? Sit beside me and let's play extra sweet." Miley reminded him since any minute now Jorge would arrive.

"Miley, I really don't want any bruises on my face. I think eating together like this will be more than enough." Gab mumbled nervously.

He was afraid of Jorge ever since he jested about asking Miley in going out, Jorge would always give him that deadly stare whenever he would hang out with the boys for playing basketball where Liam and Jorge were club members.

Almost every one in their circles were aware how protective and very 'possessive' Jorge was compared to Miley's real brother Liam and they were not dumb not to get that signal. Their love towards each other was an open secret for everyone.

"Don't worry, Gab. I told you I will take care of you and I have already arranged your date with my friend, the one you like and you're asking the number of. This is just a casual dinner date so Jorge will go easy on you besides Jorge is afraid of your dad so he won't physically hurt you even if he is furious." Miley encouraged him to play along with her plans with a smile.

Gab twitched his mouth. He liked Miley a lot compared to any other girl he had ever met. That was why he agreed to help her, hoping somehow he could get close to her, but then to his disappointment, everything was still about Jorge. And he fell in this pit like a fool, ready to become a bigger eyesore for Jorge.

His one hand unconsciously rubbed his cheeks, afraid Jorge would barge in and immediately punch him for sitting with Miley even for a casual dinner.

'That possessive moron, he neither confessed his love to Miley, nor does he let anyone else come close to her.'

"Okay, Miley, but this will be the first and last. I think next time you should try it with someone who did not know your family or Jorge. It might be more effective." Gab reiterated and Miley only gave him a wink followed by, "Thanks Gab."

He almost forgot to breathe when he saw her wink at him, a wink from a gorgeous lady like Miley was enough to take away his soul.

'Jorge is so stupid and slow!' Gab could not help but amused, irritated on how unfair sometimes the world was in the game of love.

Soon enough, when they finished eating dinner and were having some wine, Jorge arrived at the restaurant with his dark aura. Gab was already used to it and as usual, greeted him like before.

"Hey Jorge…"

Jorge gave him a forced smile and nodded.

Miley drank her wine in the glass in one gulp and gave Jorge a raised brow before hissing, "What are you doing here?"

Jorge's mind was so irritated ever since he heard Miley went for a date that in the entire way from home to the restaurant also he could not form a good alibi for being there.

"I need to talk to you." Jorge simply said and gave Gab a knowing look.

Miley frowned and exclaimed, "Jorge, please leave and let's talk when I get back at home. You being here is very unethical and disrespectful not only to me but also to Gab. We are on a date and no one is supposed to interfere like this. So, if what you want to talk about is not an emergency, like someone is on the brink of death, then wait until I get free will you?"

Her words froze Jorge on the spot. He did not expect such a harsh blow coming from Miley. He had always been used to Miley running into him whenever she saw him.

She had always had him as her priority, but now she just ditched him and said those words to him for another man!

"Sorry Jorge but Gab and I have to leave now and go somewhere else from here, so if you'll please excuse me," Miley mumbled and stood up.

Gab gulped when Miley signaled him to rise from his chair and walk out with her. So he did.

Miley heaved a long sigh while she controlled herself, using her every ounce of self control, from looking back. She saw the confused look on Jorge's face and knew her arrow had hit the right spot. Hopefully, he would soon understand and make the right move quickly.

"Wasn't that a bit too harsh?" Gab asked as soon as they were inside his car.

Miley heaved a loud and frustrated sigh and whispered, "No, it's not. Coward men like him deserve that. I think Jorge will need a lot more of such blows. Though I still doubt if it will make him take the much-needed step.

You know Gab, I can understand where he is coming from since he's been attached to our family since childhood. We are his only family. He's afraid… But it's not an acceptable excuse to restrain his feelings when he knows that no one is against him in our family at all."

"Hmm, yeah, but still… I can actually relate to him. Being in a relationship with you is an enormous risk for someone like him, Miley. I mean, what if along the way something wrong happens or you two eventually don't work out? He will not only lose you but his only family Miley." Gab explained.

"I'm aware of that Gab, but if he really has such deep feelings towards me… He would gather enough courage to take that risk. Everything in life Gab is a risk! I can risk everything for him, so why can't he do the same for me?" Miley countered, trying to suppress the tears that had formed in her eyes.

She was hurting. Love should be mutual but if you knew that love existed between both parties but the only one fighting for it was you, sometimes you would go to the point of giving up. However, Miley did not want to give up just yet.
