"Do you need something to eat? We can buy anything you want," Jake said, scanning the roadside restaurants as he drove.

"N-No, I'll cook something when we get there," I replied, making him look back at me. He smiled at me before focusing on the road again. 

I must say, he looks good. 

He always looks good. 

He's funny, caring, and....

I used to be so happy when I was with him.....

Now, I'm always nervous....

Why did I have to fall for him? 

That's what ruined everything... 

I should've been straight....

I should have never fallen in love with him...

"Dylan? Are you okay?" 

"Huh? Y-Yeah... I'm okay," I stuttered before looking out. We were already in the parking lot of my apartment complex. "I didn't realize we're already here," 

"You were zoning out," Jake unbuckled his seat belt. "Maybe that's why," He said before getting out of the car. I hummed while following him.

"What's happening?" Jake questioned an old man in front of the elevator. "Why are there a lot of people?"

"The elevator is stuck again," The man said a little too loudly. "Two people are inside," He gestured with his hands. "It's been fifteen minutes, the mechanic is not even here yet," His eyebrows furrowed as he spoke. "You guys better take the stairs if you wanna reach your apartment today," 

Jake turned towards me. "Does this happen here often?" He asked me before looking back at the elevator. 

"I don't know... this is the first time it's happening after I moved here," I shrugged. 

Jake nodded. "Let's go by the stairs, " He said, walking towards the stairs.

"Is it hard for you?" 

"N-No, I'm okay..."

"Stop lying. You're wincing," Jake stopped and looked at me worriedly. "Is it okay if I carry you?"

My eyes widened as he spoke. "W-What? No, I'm okay,"

"You're not okay. It's only five steps and you're already having trouble," Jake frowned. "It's better if I carry you," 

"Jake, you must be crazy, " I stared wide-eyed at him. "My apartment is on the third floor. You're gonna carry me there? You must have lost your mind, " I shook my head before continuing to take another step. Even though my hips and butt are aching, I don't want him to carry me that many steps. He's gonna break his back if he does–

"Wahh! " I cried when Jake suddenly lifted me. "Jake..! What are you doing!? Put me down! Are you crazy!? You won't be able to carry me there!" I screamed, hitting his chest. 

"I can," He said with a small smile. "Just stop thrashing around and hold onto me," 

I paused and gripped his shirt as he started to take another step. "This is crazy...You're crazy," I said as I looked up at him. Jake chuckled as he continued to walk. 

I couldn't help but stare at his face. Good lord, that jawline looks sharp as a knife! 

Jake looked down suddenly, making me blush red.

Shit! He caught me staring! 

I hid my face in his chest as he continued to carry me upstairs. 

I could hear his heartbeats. 

They're unusually loud....

Why are they loud? 

Is he tired? 

I closed my eyes as I listened to them. Even though it was thumping like crazy, it was calming for me to listen.

I woke up from a wet feeling on my hand. I squinted as I opened my eyes. I was laying on something soft.

Is this my bed? 

I blinked continuously to clear my vision. Someone was sitting beside me, gripping my hand in theirs. 

"Jake?" I called the person beside me. 

Jake looked up suddenly but his face still wasn't clear to me. 

"Oh, you're up," He hastily stood up. "You fell asleep when I was carrying you here," 

I sighed as I sat up on the bed. I could see him clearly now but he wasn't showing his face to me.

"I thought you needed some rest so I didn't wake you up. Also, I cooked dinner since you have to take your pill after it–"

"Jake, were you crying?" I asked suddenly, looking at the wet spot on my hand. 

Jake paused and scratched his neck. "Wh-what? No, I wasn't. What are you talking about?" 

"Look at me then,"

"You must be seeing things because you're tired. I wasn't crying or anything." Jake waved me off before turning to the door. "Come to the kitchen and have dinner," He said before walking out of the door. 

I quickly got out of the bed, chasing after him. But Jake was already in the kitchen when I finally stumbled out of my room. 

Fuck his long legs! 

I finally reached the kitchen to see him serving something he made into two plates. 

"Jake...." I called, making him pause. He put a plate on the counter. 

"Here," He said, trying not to make eye contact. 

"Jake, look at me. Why did you cry?" I gripped his hand and turned him towards me. 

Jake looked down at me. His bright blue eyes were wet and red. "What happened....?" I breathed out, confused. 

Jake looked away, taking in a deep breath. "I'm sorry....." He muttered causing me to frown. 

"What? "

"I-I..... You were so cheerful before..... Now you're scared..... when you're with me.... I-I did this to you.... I made you like this..."

I looked down as he talked. Is this what he's been thinking? "I'm not scared of you, Jake." I sighed. "I-I'm just nervous...I don't know what to do when I'm with you...." 

"Don't be nervous....." 

I chuckled. "It's not that easy, Jake. Especially when I-I like you.... I can't help it, " 

Jake stared at me for a minute. His eyes filled with some strange emotion that I couldn't understand. 

I looked away first. Being this close to him is not good for my heart.

"I-I made a dish with pasta and sausages... " He turned away from me. "I'm not a good cook so it might have some problems," He scratched his neck. 

"Let me taste it," I smiled, taking the plate he gave me. "Mhmm.....Not bad....." I said after taking a bite. "I like it," I smiled, causing him to chuckle. 

Jake thanked me before turning to take his plate of pasta. 

Why are his ears red?
