Always & Forever

Chapter 73, "Rain Check"

Jayda's POV

Kara left the house and not even 20 minutes later Corbyn pulled up. I wasn't even dressed yet and I have no clue where we're going. I opened the door for him and he immediately showered me with kisses, making me laugh.

"Someone's in a good mood." I smiled, taking his face in my hands.

"I am now." he said, giving me a peck.

I took his hand and led him into my room. "Sorry I'm not ready yet. I had to finish up on some work."

"No worries love. Take your time." he chuckled, taking a seat on the bed.

I hurried to my closet and picked out a pair of high waisted light blue flare jeans and a simple California crop hoodie to match. Once I walked back out, Corbyn's eyes immediately lit up at the sight.

"You like?" I asked, carrying my converse in hand.

"You look- wow. You look beautiful." he said, standing up to meet me.

I laughed and playfully pushed him back, so I could put my shoes on. I quickly slipped my shoes on and we headed towards the door, Corbyn right behind me.

"Stop staring." I smiled, feeling his eyes pierced on me as I walked.

"How could you possibly ask me to do such a thing?" he smirked, taking my hand in his and leading me to his car.

"Where are we going?" I asked, reconnecting our hands once we were both in the car.

"Let's just enjoy the ride." he smiled, letting his roof up.

"Real smooth C."

"What can I say?" he joked.

He drove all around London as we just talked and sang songs together. I texted Kara to keep her updated along the way as well. It's been forever since I've laughed this hard.

"So how are you feeling?" Corbyn asked.

"What do you mean?"

"How are things? Are you beginning to feel any better?"

"I am actually. I owe a lot of that to you though. Everything is slowly falling in to place though and I just want to thank you for being here for me." I smiled, kissing his hand.

"I told you I would be here as long as you'll have me; I meant that Jayda. Now, how about we get some burgers, milkshakes, and fries?"

"Now you're talking my language, but what are you going to eat?"

"Damn girl. I like a woman who can match my appetite." he smirked.

"Then you've met the right one." I laughed.

He laughed and drove off to a nearby burger place. The way he was driving with one hand was really attractive and I just wanted to reach across this eat and devour him. He parked the car and we walked along the streets of London to a burger stand he had heard about.

Corbyn is very charming and he makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Every time I see him it brings butterflies to my stomach. It's more than a physical attraction....it's I don't know, but I wouldn't mind soaking in it for the rest of my life if I could.

He ordered for us and I offered to pay but obviously he wouldn't let me. "You are so stubborn." I teased.

"No, I'm just treating you the way you need to be treated. That may be new for you, but expect it when you're around me."

I looked at him and I couldn't help the smile that came to my face. "You're making it hard for me C."

"What ever do you mean?" he smirked.

"All the things I want to do to you."

"So do them." he said, stopping us from walking and making me face him.

"I bet you would like that wouldn't you?" I teased, snatching the bag from his hand and walking ahead. "I feel you staring."

"Get used to it. These eyes aren't going anywhere."

We ate in his car and I made him speed back to the house in an instant. I hopped out the car and practically jumped him as he got out his side, connecting our lips in an instant.

We fumbled backwards and my back pressed against the front door. He opened it with ease and we stumbled inside. My hands rummaged through his hair hungrily, but out passionate kiss was cut short by the cries of Kara coming from behind bedroom door.

I pulled back from Corbyn and walked towards her door immediately. "Kara? Kara what happened?" I asked, Corbyn right behind me.

She looked up from her spot on the bed with red eyes. "Oh Jayda. I'm so sorry. I completely forgot. I can leave if you need me to."

"No way are you leaving. What happened?"

"I-I messed up badly."

I looked behind me at Corbyn apologetically and he understood immediately. "Rain check?" I asked.

"Of course. Just hit me up later. Kara I hope you're okay and if you need me to knock some sense into Jonah, then just let me know."

"Thanks Corbyn. Sorry for ruining y'all's day."

"Nonsense. There's always more. I'll see you both later." Corbyn smiled, giving me a sweet kiss before showing himself out.

I turned my attention back to Kara and went over to take a seat next to her. It's a good thing Harry gets the kids today.

"What happened?"

"Jayda I messed up. I said something I was definitely not supposed to say."

"What did you say Kara?"

"I told Jonah.....I told him I loved him."

"Oh." I said in shock.

"Exactly. I didn't mean to though and it just slipped out."

"What did he do?"

"He completely freaked out. And he for sure didn't say it back which is fine, but he completely froze up. My feelings are always one-sided. Why can't for once someone feel the same about me?"

"I'm sure there's a logical reason. Your feelings aren't one-sided Kara. Don't think you are incapable of love because that's far from the truth. I'm sure Jonah feels the same but you have to understand that he's probably just scared that you'll go back to Zayn. Now, I don't think he should have froze up like that or questioned you because we both know you don't say things you don't mean but hear him out. Let him open up to you. Didn't you say something about the last girl breaking his heart?"

"Yeah, but I'm not the girl Jayda. I would never intentionally hurt him."

"I know that and you know that, but he's probably scared of being hurt at all. Intentional or not. Don't ever apologize for loving hard okay? Your love is strong and anybody would be a fool not to want it. You hear me?"

"I hear you. Sorry about the you and Corbyn thing. Maybe if you hurry up you can catch him." she joked.

"Please. He's long gone. Besides, like he said, they'll always be more days."

"Oh he's got you whipped."

"I am not whipped....I'm just in strong like. Anyways, we're ordering food. It's on me. Pick whatever while I go change my clothes."

I quickly changed into some pajamas and joined Kara back in bed. Harry texted me earlier to let me know he got the kids so it looks like it'll just be us tonight. She ordered Chinese food and I let her lick whatever show she wanted tonight. I made a deal with her that she can be in her feels for tonight, but tomorrow she faces her problems head on. We don't need anymore heartbreak...from anyone.
