Her World

Chapter Eleven

Chapter 11

Relief washed through me as I those chocolate brown eyes greeted me. My excitement went through the roof; this is it I’m going on a date with Jake the ‘Bad Boy’.

“Ready to go or you just going to stare at me? I know I’m irresistible but I would really like that coffee.” I washed as a smirk made its way on to his face.

I just gave my head a slight nod before Jake took hold of my hand tugging me along with him. As soon as his hand made contact with my skin I did feel sparks, I don’t care how sappy that sounds. The letter was forgotten; I’ve pushed it to the back of mind.

“Here you go my lady” Jake said giving me a wink as he opens the passenger door for me. 

“Thanks” ugh I really need to stop blushing. I climbed into his car waiting for him to get into the other side.

“Sorry” Jakes hand accidentally rubbed my leg as he dropped his bag between my legs. “So how was your day? You didn’t have any trouble did you?” he asked as his car purred to life.

“No today has been fine and classes are the same there boring” I let out a little laugh, I didn’t think about telling him about the letter, it was just a petty thing. “How was your day?”

“Well it wasn’t that eventful, well unless you count punching a guy in the face then no my day was pretty boring”

“You punched a guy?”

“Yeah nothing big, he just didn’t know how to keep his mouth shut.”

“Oh” I didn’t know what else to say, I didn’t want to push him to tell me.

“And here we are” he said getting out the car. I followed his moments getting out the car too, then I realised we have pulled up at the Coffee Pot.  

“The Coffee Pot” I think it came out more like a question and I had said it a bit louder than i was meant to.

“Yeah hope that alright, it’s the only place round here that does decent coffee.” Jake lifted a hand to the back of his neck giving it a slight rub. Oh god I didn’t mean to offend him.

“No this is fine” I smile giving him a reassuring smile.

He locks his car and we head in to the surprisingly quiet cafe, it’s pretty unusual. After school is out this cafe is usually heaving with teens. The Coffee Pot is the only place in Willow Creek that sells good coffee and things like smoothies, well it does everything really. It’s our smaller version of Starbucks. It’s only a small cafe but that’s what’s so great about it, it gives off a homely feel. There are 4 seating booths at each side of the cafe, there are also some little tables surround the middle and then at the bottom there’s a long bar with stools. The cafe is yellow and red like most, it reminds me or of a diner than a cafe.

Me and Jake were greeted my Mr Jacobs. “Ah Marie, how are you today my dear?”

“I’m good thanks Mr Jacobs, how are you?”

“Well you know me Marie, always perfectly fine. So are you going to introduce me to your friend?”

“Oh yes, this is Jake, my um—

“Boyfriend, nice to meet you Sir” Jake adds with a little smirk. WAIT WHAT?! No he did not just introduce himself as my boyfriend! I must be dreaming, yeah that’s it I’m going to wait up in a minute and this is all fake. I didn’t know how to introduce him.

“Oh Marie, you didn’t tell me you had a boyfriend, you kept this one a secret” Oh Mr Jacobs I didn’t know I had a boyfriend either.

“Marie you didn’t tell him about me?” Jake put a hand over his heart pretending me be fake hurt before slinging his arm over my shoulder.
