Chapter 469 - Basketball and Business 3 (1/2)

”I am happy to know that I will finally be able to meet your mother, Jake, you talk about her so much that I was really curious to meet her.”

”She is also curious to meet you, after all, I also talk a lot about you to my mother, you can expect to eat there at my house the best food you have ever eaten in Miami.”

”I know, you told me that your mom has a restaurant that is very popular here in Miami, I wanted to go to her restaurant sometime.”

”My mom really has a restaurant and she cooks very well, but I will also help to prepare this dinner and you will know about my culinary skills.”

”I didn't know you knew how to cook, of course, it must have been your mother who taught you how to cook.”

Kate was very excited knowing that she was going to dinner at Jake's house and could meet his mother, she didn't even realize that once again Jake deviated from the subject of her wanting to go to his mother's restaurant, Jake didn't want to talk about Lola to Kate because she could be jealous of her.

So Sunday arrived and Kate took a taxi to Jake's house this time, he wanted to pick Kate up at the hotel, but since dinner was at his house Kate didn't accept Jake to do that, Kate put on a nice dress, but no very festive because she had to look good because it was the first time that she would meet Jake's mother.

It was Jake who opened the door for Kate and he was also wearing a dress shirt that was Jake's normal style and he had met Kate so many times, Kate entered Jake's house surprised by the beauty of Jake's mansion.

Not even she who was successful with her music had a house like this, of course, she had the money to buy a house like this, but Kate didn't know where she wanted to live and so she only saved money for when she decided, and she had the house that was of her parents in Miami to stay if she wanted to.

Jake and Eva had already prepared dinner and changed clothes before the time they had scheduled with Kate, now they just needed to wait for some dishes to come out of the oven and dinner was ready.

Jake took Kate to the living room where his mother was, so for the first time Eva and Kate met in person, Eva already knew Kate through pictures in magazines and on television, yet she was surprised by Kate's beauty.

And Kate was even more surprised by the beauty of Eva, after all, it was the first time that she saw Jake's mother and she did not know that Eva had a Latin beauty, especially because she knew that Eva was 37 years old and yet she looked very young.

”Good evening, Mrs. Smith, it is a great pleasure to meet you, Jake always speaks very highly of you, but he never said how beautiful you are.”

”It is a pleasure to meet you too Kate, you can call me Eva if you want, after all with you dating Jake you are family.”

”I had seen pictures of you and also commercials you did on television, but personally you are as beautiful as Jake had said.”

The two praised each other and showed that they wanted to become friends since they met, it was how Jake hoped it would happen after all his mother and Kate were very kind and wanted to be friends so that Jake would be happy and for the relationship between Jake and Kate worked.

Jake left the room to get an orange juice that he had prepared for the three of them to drink and left Eva and Kate talking, the two had a good first impression of each other and so they started asking questions to get to know each other better.

Jake knew this was an important moment so he decided to leave the two of them talking for a longer time and went to prepare cubes of cheese to put on sticks after the two met a little they started talking about the only common subject that the two had to it was Jake.

Because of Jake's personality, the two had only good things to talk about him and Eva was the one who had the most stories to tell about him, so when Jake came back with the appetizers and the orange juice the two were already laughing and had become friends.

When Jake realized this he was relieved and so the evening continued pleasant and fortunately, Kate did not speak about Eva's restaurant because she had realized that Jake did not like to talk about it and so everyone was very well.

For dinner Jake had prepared a lamb shank, Ratatouille, and a risotto for the main course, while Eva prepared the desserts and side dishes, it was a lot of food for just the three of them and so Jake had more difficulty having to make the portions of the food so that it wouldn't be leftover after dinner.

Jake did this because he realized in the various restaurants that he and Kate went that she liked lamb and Ratatouille, Eva prepared a Petit gateau, and Cheesecake for dessert and various side dishes like salads.
