<h4>Chapter 454 Jake Vacations 6</h4>


    "You never really rest, do you, I also had a break after doing so many shows and recording my musical album this year, I think in the next few months I will rest before I go back to doing shows."


    Jake always heard Kate say what her work routine was like and he was impressed with so much work that the singers had to do, sometimes Kate said she had to do 7 shows in a week in different cities and still had to participate in shows. radio andmercials.


    Luckily it looked like it was having a good result because she had achieved her first song by being in the first ce on the Billboard, she already had some songs in the top 100 a few times, but it was the first song that stayed a week in the first ce.


    This was incredible because she had changed her style of music a lot and her fans also just increased, especially since she was considered a new singer who had a chance of winning the 41st Annual Grammy Awards as Best New Artist.


    After all, currently, only she had a song on Billboard’s top spot that year among new artists, but Jake knew it wouldn’t be so easy because Lauryn Hill who would win the prize would also have a song on Billboard’s top spot.


    "Since you are thinking of resting in theing months,e here to Miami, it is a great ce to rest and that way we could meet for lunch more often, I miss you."


    Jake took courage and said what he was thinking and it surprised Kate that she didn’t say anything on the phone for some time, Jake knew that he actually loved Kate and was thinking about asking Kate to date him this year.


    But it was difficult for them to have time to meet and next year it would be even more difficult with Jake ying in the NBA, so he had to be more honest with his feelings talking to Kate so that they would have a chance.


    "I really wanted to go to Miami on my vacation, I love the beach and I like Miami a lot, I think I’m going to be there in the next few days and we can go out to lunch."


    "For sure, you can call me as soon as you get here that I will meet you, I will wait for you."


    With this good news Jake was even happier, with Kateing to Miami he could finally ask her to date him, he would prepare this for lunch, Jake was happy that this year was really one of the best in his life.


    At dinner Eva realized that Jake was much happier than usual, she realized that Jake was more tired and excited because of his training, but today she could feel that it was something different and not just because of training.


    "You look very happy today, Jake, did anything special happen?"


    "Yes, good things happened today, I was able to improve my training for marathons even more and I came close to my goal that I always had when I started running."


    "So it could happen that I break my world record again in the Chicago marathon and win another gold medal at the next Olympics, even though I am very tired I am very happy."


    Eva saw that Jake was speaking the truth and was also very happy to know that, few times she saw Jake confidently asserting that he could win a marathon or win a gold medal at the Olympics.


    But this time Jake did even more and guaranteed that he could break his world record which naturally meant that he could win the marathon, yet Eva still thought it wasn’t just that and that Jake was hiding something.


    "This is really great son, congrattions, but it seems that there is something else that is also making you happier today."


    "I really can’t hide anything from you mom, I talked to Kate today on the phone and she told me that she was thinking of taking a vacation in the next few months, so I suggested that shee and spend the holidays here in Miami."


    "And she said she woulde and so I am going to invite her to lunch and we can meet several times in theing months."


    With Jake saying that Eva can understand why he was so happy, she knew that Jake was really in love with Kate by the way he talked about her and how he always talked about her even when they saw each other so rarely.


    She was naturally happy for Jake and would support her son to live that love for him, but she couldn’t help but worry about L after hearing this, L had been trying to forget Jake for almost 3 years and had seen him a few times.


    In the restaurant, it was difficult to do that, but Eva and Anna and almost nobody in the restaurant spoke about Jake’s name out of consideration for L, of course, in the kitchen Eva and Anna talked a lot with the cooks about Jake and even watched his games at the university.


    But that was because L was the receptionist at the restaurant and didn’t often enter the kitchen and she naturally had to get used to Jake’s games being broadcast in the restaurant that he was practically the owner.


    Eva and Anna thought that L had already forgotten about Jake and even her father Júlio said that her daughter had already ovee this rtionship that never really happened, but Eva still worried about L and until she knew that L was dating her she didn’t he would know even if she had forgotten about Jake.


    That’s because Eva knew that when Jake started dating Kate for sure after a few weeks all the magazines and various television shows would talk about it because even though Jake and Kate were not the most famous and well-known in the country when they started dating, they would be one of the best known young couples.


    Even more with Jake participating in a big movie and joining the NBA and L gaining more and more fans in the music world and having a song in the first ce on Billboard, even so, Eva wouldn’t say that to Jake because she knew Jake was not to me in this situation and has already had too much consideration for L not going to the restaurant almost once for almost 3 years.


    "Mom, as I said to you when Katees to Miami I intend to ask her to date me if she epts I want to bring her here to have dinner together so I can introduce her to you."


    "Sure, son, if you start dating I will fully support your rtionship and you can bring her here and I will love meeting your girlfriend."


    Having talked about it with his mother, Jake was even happier that everything in his life was going well, even though he was tired Jake was still very agitated and decided to go to the court after dinner to do some three-point training to rx.


    Even though Jake hadn’t been doing any basketball training for the past few months and was just using his gym after returning to Miami, he still did imagination training every day as usual.


    Jake could do this training twice a day and did it every day even when he was tired and when he was filming in Australia, and now Jake was even more excited about doing his imagination training.


    That’s because after the NBA draft when he became a professional yer and he leveled up in his first job in the system, Jake could y against better yers than he did in imagination training.


    And Jake had to say that finally, this training was very useful for him, it seemed that the problem ofck of intelligence of his opponents in the training of imagination had almost disappeared, his opponents thought about the ys and so the training was never the same.


    Also, when Jake put his opponents in the SS rank like he always did, he really regretted doing it, the yers in his imagination training were much better than his teammates Vince Carter and Antawn Jamison.


    They were better than many of the toughest opponents he had at university like Mike Bibby, Jake had to believe that they really were better than most of the NBA yers he would y for years toe.


    Of course, yers like Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal, and Michael Jordan had many things that were better than these opponents that Jake had in his imagination training, but not even these geniuses had SS rank in all abilities.


    So Jake could see how a skill rank made a big difference when he reached the NBA level, it wasn’t like that at other levels, but he realized that difference and how he put the height of all his opponents being taller than him, Jake had a hard time even hitting three-point shots.


    After all, with opponents having SS rank in the block they seemed to know what was the right time to hinder blocking when Jake tried the three-point shot, that was good because Jake trained more for when he joined the NBA and also I learned how he would have to try three-point shots in the NBA ying against opponents who could get the block.


    Fortunately, his skill rank in the three-point shot was also SS rank and he was more agile than his opponents in training and thus still managed to hit more than 50 percent of his three-point shots.


    His steal and passing skills still worked well in his imagination training, but Jake didn’t even want to try toyup and dunk with so many higher opponents and SS block rank, it was almost suicide to do that.


    Fortunately, his teammates were also SS rank in skills and Jake was still smarter than his opponents and so they managed to almost win some games, the problem was that all opponents also had SS rank in three-point shots.
