Jake had been up for three hours. It was still only 10 o'clock. He was debating whether or not to even text Alex. He just met him. It was still too early to text Alex, because he didn't want to come off as clingy.
So he just sat on his bed, scrolling through tumbler and twitter, being bored out of his mind.
Maybe I should text 'lysha
Jake - "Hey"
Elysha - "What's up?"
Jake - "Well I helped this guy find mac-n-cheese, and well, he called me cute and he gave me his # and I'm supposed to be going over to his house around noon."
Elysha - "Finally you've found someone!"
Jake - "Elysha!"
Elysha - "What?"
Jake - "I'm kind of getting second thoughts on going. I don't even really know this guy. I just don't know what to do."
Elysha - "I think you should go. It could be good for you. Ya know, with all the stuff going on with your parents..."
Jake - "Ya... Maybe your right. Thanks lysha."
Elysha - "Anytime"
Jake sat on his bed and just stared at the wall.
Fuck it. Might as well.
He pulled up Alex's contact.
Jake - "Hey, its Jake."
A few minutes passed by.
Fuck. I knew I shouldn't have texted him. He probably doesn't even remember who I am.
But before Jake could continue with his thoughts, he got a text.
Alex - Hey :)
Was starting to think you wouldn't text.
Jake - Honestly, me too.
Alex - You can still change your mind tho. My feelings won't be hurt. You never know, I could be a killer psychopath ;)
Jake - I'll take my chances
Alex - Okay
My house is on 221 B St.
Jake - Really!?!?
Alex - I wish. Just testing you.
Its actually
401 Malada St.
Blah, England
Jake - Great, that's really close to my house. It'll only take me about 15 minutes to get there.
Alex - Awesome :)
See you then
Jake - Yup :)
Jake sighed of relief. All those bad thoughts were just wasted space of thought. Jake tried to find decent clean clothing to wear. He found a gray hoodie and some skinny jeans and put them on. Then he quickly brushed his teeth and fixed his hair. He grabbed his keys and walked to his car.
When Jake got there and parked his car in the driveway, he sat there for a few minutes. He still couldn't believe any of this was happening. He got out of his car and walked towards the door and knocked. He could hear someone approaching the door way. The door opened and there stood Alex. He was wearing a star wars T-shirt and jeans.
Omg, he is gorgeous. His hair, his, eyes, his jawline, his, everything is just perfect.
Alex beckoned for Jake to come in and Jake stepped into the house.
"Do you want me to take my shoes off?" Jake turned towards Alex.
"No no. You can leave them on."
"So, do you live with anybody, or is it just you?"
"Just me. I actually just moved out of my parents house last month, so everything is still kinda new to me."
"Cool. I wish I had my own place. I still live with my parents."
Alex nodded and said, "Wanna go to my room?"
"Sure" Jake said.
Alex started walking towards a door in a hallway. He walked in and Jake followed. The room had posters and artwork all around the walls and there was a pile of retro game consoles piled in a corner.
"Gamer I'm guessing?" Jake asked.
"I would say so. Oh and I draw too." Alex laughed. "Make your self at home. I'm going to go get something to drink, would you like anything?"
"No thanks" Jake smiled.
Alex left the room and Jake sat in a chair and spun around in it. When Alex returned, Jake was still spinning around in the chair. He laughed, which caused Jake to stop and laugh too.
"How about lunch?" Alex asked.
"I don't want you to spend money on me." Jake replied.
"Oh its no problem. I haven't had any real food, except for mac-n-cheese for a week. I'll pay, and no exceptions. Any ideas on where to go?" Alex said.
"Fine. How about a cafe?" Jake answered.
"Sounds good." Alex said with a smile. "I'll drive."
~~~~~~~~~~AUTHORS NOTE~~~~~~~~~
Hey guys :)
Its the author.
Just felt like I needed to tell you a few things.
One ~ when I use this font, it is most likely what Jake is thinking in his head.
Two ~ As you might tell, no, that was not Alex Bertie's real address. I just came up with some random words and numbers.
Okay, that is all. Have a lovely evening, morning, night, or whatever daytime it is :)
