my worries were evident on my face, I could see the apprehension on his. It reminded me of Heath. Holy shit, Heath! What the fuck am I doing? Wait, calm down… Heath isn’t into you! But he must be worried! I never told him where I was. Shit! I didn’t even check my phone. He is going to lose it!
“Reese?” Jake’s brows were raised.
“Huh?” I snapped back to reality.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m sorry, nothing.” I bent my head. He cupped my chin and tipped my head back, meeting my gaze. This man really loves eye contact, doesn’t he?
“Come on, I told you one thing I love is good communication. Talk to me.”
“That’s it, I don’t know you other than what you told me about you. It’s been less than twenty-four hours and we’re in a relationship? And fucking each other’s brains out. This is madness!”
“Reese, calm down. It’s not like we’re strangers. We’ve talked over the past year.”
“Still, that’s no excuse! I don’t want to get hurt, Jake.”
“Reese! Lena cheated on me, do you really think I’m the type to hurt anyone?”
“Look at you. Everywhere you go, girls fawn over you. You’re fucking gorgeous! Why me?”
“You think I care about all that? I’m not Andrews, why not you?” I paused, my glassy eyes securely locked to his, tears pooling in them. Unable to speak, I felt a lump forming in my throat. “Look, I’m a man that knows what he wants, and I want you. I used to flirt with you for fun and you always brushed it off, you’re above all that. I can tell you genuinely appreciate a good personality and I guarantee I won’t disappoint.”
“You mean that?” I said in almost a whisper.
“Swear on my life.” He placed his palm on his chest. “Come here. He pulled me in. His chin resting on the top of my head as he wrapped his arms around me, stroking my hair. He then kissed me on the forehead and held me at an arm’s length. “Are you going to be okay now?”
I nodded my head and wiped away the tears that escaped, and smiled. “Thank you.”
“No, thank you.” He smirked. “After, I finish my work, I’ll take you out, wherever you wanna go and then drop you home. Cool?”
“Sure. I’m gonna go take a shower now.” I told him and he nodded.
After a long relaxing bath, I slipped on my dress. I stared at my face in the mirror of Jake’s bathroom and pulled my bottom lip into my mouth. I took an eyeliner out of my clutch and reapplied it, wrapped my hair into a messy bun and placed my earrings on my ears; hoops on top, stud below, on either side.
Buzz! Buzz! My phone was vibrating like a maniac in my clutch. I pulled it out to see Heath trying to call - again. I couldn’t answer him, I didn’t know what to say, so I ignored it. Whoa! 67 missed calls, 11 voicemails and 89 messages on WhatsApp and Facebook. I totally fucked up! He is going to have my ass!
“Reese?” Jake knocked on the door, startling me in the process.
“Yeah.” I responded, sticking my phone back into my clutch.
“You ready?” He asked.
“Yep, coming.”
Heath was clad in a pair of plaid trouser and a Tee, sitting on the sofa in the living room, his phone pressed against his ear as he pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. Just then, Caroline came downstairs dressed in gym shorts and a vest humming to herself, suddenly stopping when she noticed him. “Seriously Heath?” She grumbled.
“What? Seriously What, Carr?” He shot an angry stare at her.
“I can’t believe you’re doing this.” She stomped towards the refrigerator, got out her bottle of Minute Maid orange juice and slammed the door shut.
“Doing what? What exactly am I doing that you can’t believe? That I’m worried about my best friend and I would like to ensure her safety?”
“It’s not even that, you know.”
“Then what is it?” He got up from the sofa and placed his hand on his hips.
“Forget it, you don’t even see it. It doesn’t fucking matter.” She took a
