the fire.
“What did you say? You better not have said yes,” she said.
“He’s a nice guy, though,” I said.
“So are half the guys in the country, but you shouldn’t be out on dates with all of them! You have the opportunity of the lifetime here!” she said, flailing her arms around like a maniac.
“I don’t care about what Cash does or the opportunity that comes along with that. I don’t date people for that,” I said.
“It’s not even all about his money or celebrity status, Jenna. He’s also a great guy who you obviously get along with, considering you stayed the night with him,” she said.
“Relax, I didn’t agree to a date with Ben,” I said, ending her spastic speech.
“Thank you! I’m so happy!” she said, and I saw the tension melt off her. Messing with her was mean, but it never failed to make me laugh.
“Actually, Cash just texted me,” I said, opening it.
“ Thinking of you ,” he typed.
“Look at you smile and blush. For such a wannabe tough girl, you sure are smiley when he texts you,” Malia said.
“Shut up before I slap you,” I replied, the smile on my face making that threat as vain as it was when I made it.
“ Can’t wait to see you again. Better be soon ,” I replied, sending a kissy face emoji with it.
“ I can’t wait to kiss you again ,” he replied, taking me off-guard. I bit my lower lip, my thumbs trembling as I tried to think of what to say. I felt my stomach warm and a few rogue butterflies tickling me from the inside.
“ Dreaming of it ,” I said, hitting send.
He sent back a smiley face, telling me he was in bed and had to go to sleep for an early set time, but he wanted to text me before he fell asleep. I wished him good night and sweet dreams before heading upstairs myself and getting in my pajamas before taking off my makeup.
I missed him in a way I wouldn’t really miss a guy I barely knew this early into dating, but I felt secure in that. Sometimes you fall harder for some people than others, and it’s okay to feel like you’re really missing somebody even if you don’t know everything about them. Sometimes all you can go by are the feelings they give you when you’re together, and those warm, loving feelings are what your body remembers when you think about being with them again. For me those feelings were pretty great, and I desperately wanted them again after being without them for so long. I thought he felt the same way.
I did a little bit of studying, mostly just required reading that would be on an upcoming quiz, as my eyes read but my mind didn’t really pay that much attention. There was something a little bigger on my mind. Malia popped in and said goodnight before closing my door and turning off the hallway light. My Christmas rope lights illuminated the room with their soft glow shining on my glossy textbook pages before I closed it and tossed it on the floor.
I picked up my phone, opening the web browser and searching for Cash. Thousands of images showed up on Google, all of them bearing his face. I smiled a little as I saw the plethora of images, both professional and paparazzi.
I came across ours, the picture of the two of us out that night, before I clicked on it to read the article. It didn’t mention me much, mostly just about him being out on the town with a mystery woman, though they had no information about me, which was really what I wanted. I wasn’t totally invisible, but I blended into the crowd enough that the focus wasn’t on me, what I was wearing, or how fat or skinny I was.
I knew dating an actor or anybody famous would open me up to that type of criticism, especially if we ever got official and I showed up with him everywhere, but I thought I was ready to make that sacrifice. It came with the territory, and once it got out and my face was placed with my name and everything about me, that would be it. I could never erase the pictures or articles, and I would forever be known as Cash
