Chapter 467 - Basketball and Business 1 (1/2)

But Jake didn't want to wait that long to talk to his mom, so when Jake saw that Eva was still awake he went over to the couch where she was and just took off the suit he was wearing to get more comfortable with his dress shirt.

”Hi, mom, I didn't know you were going to stay up until this hour.”

”I was waiting for you, I knew you wouldn't belong in coming back.”

”I see, it's good that you're awake because I have some good news to tell you.”

”Tell me then.”

”As I said to you, I went to dinner with Kate today, and at that dinner, I finally took courage and asked Kate to date me, and luckily she accepted.”

”This is very good, Jake, I'm happy for you.”

Eva hoped it could be something like this when she saw that Jake was so happy after going on a date with Kate, in fact, Eva hoped that Jake had already started dating Kate long before and maybe he hadn't told her because of so much of times they went out together.

Just as she said to Jake, Eva was happy to know that he was finally dating the woman he loved, but she also couldn't help feeling sorry for Lola who had now lost all chances of ever dating Jake.

Of course, Eva knew that Jake was not to blame for this and he was having a lot of consideration because of Lola, Eva knew Jake and knew that he wanted to take Kate to her restaurant someday, but maybe he would never do that because he had respect for Lola.

Eva also couldn't help but like Kate who seemed a very independent and intelligent woman and also who really liked Jake, after all, she met Jake before he was an NBA basketball player and when he was not very famous.

”So, Mom, I was wondering if I could invite Kate over for dinner so you could meet, she always wanted to meet you, but here is the only place where you can meet.”

”Of course, Jake, I would love for you to bring your girlfriend here, I also wanted to meet Kate.”

”This is great, as soon as I sort out the details of the game, we arrange this dinner here at home, so you and I can prepare some special dishes and surprise Kate with better food than the restaurants we went to, Hahaha.”

After that busy day, Jake can sleep peacefully and happily, the next day Jake woke up very early to go to his daily training, after a few weeks in that training Jake was no longer tired running the 45 km of the marathon or even in the 10 training sessions. thousand meters and 5,000 meters.

Coach David said this was a good thing because it showed that his resistance was improving and his muscles were gaining more strength with this new training after the Olympics Coach Davis was sure that they could improve this training even more.

Today Jake was not going to meet Kate because he wanted to give Kate a day to get used to the fact that they were dating, after all even though Jake was inexperienced Kate was even more so because Jake was her first boyfriend.

So Jake planned to rest for the rest of the day, it was good for him to rest his body and mind sometimes, from time to time Jake called to talk to Larry Page and Sergey Brin, they talked about technology and the future of the internet and they talked too about the Google company that the two had.

Jake had already become friends with them and they both knew that Jake was a millionaire NBA player and also a marathon runner who won the gold medal at an Olympics, so they knew he was able to invest in their company if he was interested.

They didn't know that Jake was a partner with Jeff Bezos on Amazon and also that he had money invested in the Cisco company, Jake wouldn't say that either, and he just wanted to remind both of them that he was interested in the company, so when he invested a few million they wouldn't be surprised very.

While Jake was resting he got a call from Davis Falk, Jake thought it was time for David to get him to rent the Miami Arena, so Jake could start talking to broadcasters before December.

”Jake, I have good news for you, I was able to rent the Miami Arena for December 17th, I was late because I negotiated a lot with them saying this was a charity game and I was able to rent for 40 thousand dollars for a day all.”
