The next morning,
    
The mere thought of Jacob brought a smile to my face.  I don't know what this means for us but I honestly think that we're heading in the right direction.

*Buzz Buzz*

I looked to my left where my dresser sits, seeing a flashing blue light on my phone indicating that I've received a text message.

I grab it off the dresser and unplugg it from its charger, wiping my eyes in the process.  I turn on my phone, squinting at the bright light coming from the screen.

-Look outside your window, bonita!
Jacob-

I slowly got out of my bed and walked myself to my window seeing Jacob standing on my yard, with his hands behind his back.  The sight of Jacob made me smile.

"Good morning beautiful," he mouthed.

"Hold on," I mouthed back.

I sprinted down the hall towards the stairs, making my way to the bottom.  I opened the door to a smiling Jacob. He had beautiful white Orchids in his hands.

My favorite.

I briefly examined his appearance as he wore all black head to toe, with the exception of a white bandana wrapped around his forehead.

I grabbed his arm pulling him inside, giving him a warm hug.

"T-these are for you!" He said nervously while holding the flowers out.

I pecked his cheeks and thanked him.

"How did you know, I liked Orchids?" I asked.

"Don't all girls love Orchids?" he asks innocently.

"Not all girls," I explain.

"Well I love them!"

He sighed a breath of relief.

"I'm glad!" He rubbed the back of his neck.

"What was that?" I giggled.

"What?" He asked.

"That sigh! You couldn't possibly think I wouldn't love them?"

"I was just nervous to give them to you," He replied.

"Oh," I mouthed.

"Make yourself comfortable, I'm just going to go upstairs for quick second." I tell him.

He nodded, walking towards the living room area.

I walk upstairs, into my bedroom, placing the flowers down on my dresser while smiling, admiring how beautiful they are once again.

I grabbed all my hygiene stuff and entered my bathroom.

-Minutes later-

I walked out of the bathroom, heading downstairs. Jacob was sitting on the couch watching TV.  A safe distance away, I took this time to admire how perfect he is.

"I see you staring at me," I hear him say.

I broke out of my trance and blushed uncontrollably.

He licked his lips.

"I was not staring!" I lied.

"You don't have to lie Carter!" He replied.

I sat beside on the couch and crossed my arms.

"I am not lying!" It took everything in me not to laugh.

"Oh really!" He got on top of me and started to tickle me.  I began to laugh hysterically.   

"ADMIT THAT YOU WERE INDEED STARING AT ME!" He yelled.

"N-EE-VVEER!" I said while squirming.  

"SUIT YOURSELF," he shruggs.

We continue like this for a few more minutes.

"OKAY, OKAY! I WAS STARING AT YOU!"

Jacob immediately released me from his grip, with a satisfied smirk on his face.

"Now was that so hard?!" He asks with a chuckle.

I glare at him before getting up from the couch.

Jacob swiftly grabs my waist and pulls me back down, onto his lap.

I giggle while he kisses my cheek.

I let out a nervous laugh while he presses his hands to my face, locking eyes with me.

"Go on a date with me?" He asks while kissing my nose.

I slowly lean in as if I was going to kiss him, with him following my actions. Our lips were seconds apart, when I released myself from his grip and dashed upstairs while chanting, "IF YOU WANT MY ANSWER, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED TO CATCH ME FIRST."
