Perfect (on hold)

Chapter 7

We continued dancing like this and I didn’t know how long it was, when I heard phone ringing. Jacob looked down on his phone and I saw that it was Aiden.

˝I won´t hear him in here.˝ he said and I didn’t know why, but he kept staring in me. He was thinking something, but when I wanted to ask him about it, he just turned around and went away from me.

I decided to go to ours table and wait for him there.

Jacob came back a few minutes later.

I saw Mia and Aidan behind him. They were smiling to something Aidan said and when they came near me, Mia looked at me. I could see in her eyes that she wanted so badly to tell me something and I knew she was really happy about it.

So I was thinking what it is, when Aidan took her hand and helped her to sit down. He was such a gentleman and it was really sweet.

I then frowned, because I could saw that I was missing something big and on the look on Jacob face… I was the only one missing it.

It made me angry a little bit…

How could he know?

Why he found out before me?

What happened?

I didn’t know what to think, and I definitely didn’t care that they are talking… I just took Mia´s hand and looked at her ˝Come with me.˝ and with that, we went away from Jacob and Aidan.

˝Um Emma… What´s wrong?˝ she asked me.

˝How do you think what´s wrong? What happened, Mia? Why you all know everything about it and I don’t? Even Jacob knows!˝

She started smiling. More frustrated I got, more she was laughing. Why? Don’t ask me.

˝Mia?!˝ I was really confused.

˝Yes, Emma, I heard you. Calm down, ok?˝ she smiled to me a little again before she continued ˝I don’t know what you think Jacob knows and IF he knows it, but…. um, Aiden kissed me.˝

I stared at her for few seconds before a smile showed on my face and I hugged her.

I was really happy about it, because I know that she really likes Aiden.

˝Oh, Mia… why you didn’t tell me before?! Ugh… you make me so confused sometimes.˝

˝I know, I know… but it wasn’t so long ago and we haven’t got any time alone, so I couldn’t tell you.˝

˝Ok, but promise me that you will tell me every detail about it later.˝

 ˝Sure, but don’t deny that you don’t have anything to tell me about you two with Jacob. I saw it.˝

˝Um, what do you mean?˝

˝I saw the way you were looking into each other.˝

I just smiled a little and went back to our table, because I didn’t know what to say to her.

I didn’t even know what to think about it… because it was strange, unpredictably but on the other hand it was… beautiful and… calming.

But I was scared.

What he thought about it?

What he thinks now?

Why I felt like I was somewhere I belong to?

Why I am so scared?

Did he felt it too?

Did it mean something to him?

I was thinking about everything until we came back to Aidan and Jacob. They stopped talking and they both looked at me in the same time. That was weird, but i didn't have time for worrying about this too.

So we ordered food and drinks.

Diner was really nice. We were talking the whole time and I found out a lot of new things about Aidan and Jacob.

When we ate everything, we went out. Since it was still warm outside, we came up with an idea of walking around. We didn’t really know where and I can´t say that we care.

We were just walking. Aidan and Mia in front of me and Jacob.

I could see, how much they are important to each. I don’t know why, but I think that I don’t have to worry about Aidan like before, when I didn’t know how it will end. Because I didn’t want for Mia to get hurt. She don’t deserve it.

She deserves to have someone by her side. To worry about her, care for, help her, and most importantly… loves her.

No matter how bad she is sometimes, she is my best friend.

We support each other and are together in the worst and in the best times. I would do everything for her and I know she would do same for me.

Time passed by when I was thinking about this and when I looked around, I saw Jacob smiling down on me. How deep in thought was I?

“What?” I asked Jacob.

“Are you always thinking so much?”

“Did I miss anything?”

He was thinking about something for a few minutes, before he looked over to Aidan and Mia and said: “I think that I will go and leave lovebirds alone... Care to join and go somewhere else?”

“Um… It´s already late. I should go back home.”

“Ooh, come on… it´s not even 11 yet.” he said.

“I don’t know, Jacob.”

He came closer to me… “What you really don’t know, Emma?”

I didn’t know if I should tell him or not. Then I realized that we stopped (and don’t ask me when) and Mia and Aiden was nowhere to be seen. I looked up at Jacob and said: “If this is a good idea.”

Then he came even closer to me. He stopped one step in front of me. “Why not, Emma?”

I gulped. Does he really have to stand so closer and looking directly in my eyes?

I didn’t know what he was thinking or what he wanted to do.

I again caught him, how he was thinking about something, like he didn´t know, if he should do something or not.

He then looked askance at me and smiled at me a little. “Come. You really don’t want to miss this.” he said and hold out his hand.

I was looking at him and I didn’t really know what to say or do.

Is this a good idea?

What should I do?

Why is so hard to decide?

I was scared again about something and I didn’t really understand it.

But then I looked up at his eyes again and put my hand in his. He smiled to me and I (like always) had to smile back.
