she's not your one

Snap out of it

Jaye's POV

"Switch off the light would ya darling." I said smirking because I knew that would annoy her.

"wanker." She says under her breath. I pretend to not hear but a smile forms on my face. She begins to build a pillow wall. She can trust me I won't touch her unless asked. I mean- 

"Goodnight my love." I say in a whispered tone and she shuffles to the opposite side of the bed.

She could've let me stay on the sofa... she didn't. That must account for something. I shut my eyes and put a pillow over my head to mask the scent of her perfume. It's potent. Lavender fills my nose. I can't think of anything else. I think about opening the window but worry if she's asleep or not. 

The morning

My silent alarm I set specifically so I wouldn't wake her went off on my wrist. I try to sit up but she's on my chest. I'm suddenly confused because I'm in the same position I fell asleep in so it must've been her to come over to me. A smile forms on my face as I move the hair from her face. Snap out of it. I carefully move her off of me and place the covers over her. I grab my suit and change in the bathroom. When I get out I tie my tie in the mirror and she catches my eye. I turn to look at her and instantly turn away again. Creepy. Fake. I need to go.

Before I go I write her a note and then I walk out of the door with the image of her lying on my chest on repeat in my mind.

Evangeline's POV 

The bright light of the morning city wakes me up. I look over to the alarm clock and squint at the numbers on the screen. 5:30pm. SHITTT. How's that even possible then it hits me that I'm not in my apartment. Jaye's apartment. I see a note on the counter and I read it.

'Hey trouble, you slept in but I rang Darcy for you and she's got your shift covered. I'm at work right now so won't be back until around 6:30pm. Make yourself comfortable. Help yourself to any of the stuff in my wardrobe because I don't think you brought anything at all. -your "boyfriend" x'

I grab one of his shirts and get changed out of my dress. How have I slept all through the day? It's this darn bed. I take off my makeup and take down my hair. I roam around the apartment and drag off the bed sheets wrapping them around my shoulders. I don't know where the remote is and all he has is factual books. I roll my eyes and remember I don't have my phone. I look around and find one of those phones you have to dial a number on. I don't know Darcy's number off by heart... who does? I see a saved number and thank the lucky stars it's Ben's. I press it and let it ring.

"My brother from another mother! You never ring me what's happened? If you're asking about why I'm not in work today I have a very good excuse... its blonde and-"

"ew Ben it's me!"

"Shit hey Eve!" He says

"Pass me onto Darcy?" 

"Heyyy Carrot!" Her happy voice feels my head.

"We are going to have a conversation later."

"Well where are you?" She has a good point there.

"Okay touché. Anyway I'm stranded here! I have left my phone in my bag the I gave to you and I'm pretty sure he locked the doors and if I leave, his apartment will probably be robbed. What do I do?"

"You're just going to have to stick it out babe, I'm kind of... preoccupied."

"Ew gross, have fun or whatever" I say and hang up quickly. 

What am I supposed to do now? Dee was supposed to be my saviour. I'm happy for those two though. They are perfect for each other... truly. I walk around the apartment and end up in the kitchen. I open a cupboard and see a pantry of untouched food. Does the man not eat. I decide to make cookies. Without a recipe it may be hard but I will try my best. I whip up the batter and roll it into balls and place it onto the tray. I put it into the oven and find an Alexa. 

"Alexa play 'low by Flo rida' please" 

The song starts playing and I dance around to it waiting for the cookies.

"Shawty got Low, low, low-"

I hear the door just and I jump and turn around to find Jaye standing in the doorway. I don't dare to ask him how long he's been there for. He laughs and puts his things down. 

"Are they cookies?" He asks

"Mhmm I was forced to do something with my time since you abandoned me." He smiles and I take them out of the oven. They actually look really good. "Try one I made them without a recipe, I'm surprised they turned out this good" 

I take on and pass him one too. We both take a bit and instantly spit it out. "Shit I must of accidentally used salt instead of sugar."

"How do you mess that up" he laughs

"They look the same!" He takes it out of my hand and his finger grazes mine whilst doing it. I look at him and his eyes lock with mine. I lean towards him and he moves towards me but quickly walks away. Fucking awkward. He clears his throat.

"I'll take you home." 

"I'll call a taxi"

"You have no money... I'll call one for you" 

I grab my dress and tug on his shirt and say "I'll give this back to Ben I'm sure he'd get it back to you." I walk out of the apartment and shut the door behind me. I just read the situation wrong and there isn't a lot of time to go. We will keep it strictly professional. No awkward feelings getting in the way again.
