I woke up feeling much better; I checked my phone and it was six o clock in the morning.
What the hell . I rushed to the bathroom , brush my teeth and bath, wear a t shirt and jeans put my hair up and ran down.

Jeez why did I tell Jake all that even if he likes me ; this will scared him away. A girl with daddy issues.

I made some English breakfast  put it in a tray with coffee and juice.
I went to Jake room and I knocked. Come in his voice was a bit deep.

Morning  Jake I bought you some breakfast .
Hi; how are you feeling.
Am much better.

I came to check on you and I see how you were sleeping peacefully , I didn't want to disturb you.
Am so sorry that I couldn't make your dinner last night.
It fine as long you are fine.

He seems cold towards me this morning. He was talking while not looking at me like he always do.
Am so sorry about yesterday, I didn't mean to do that.
Thank you for being there.
I said as I walked away. He said nothing.

I knew it , who wants a girl with daddy issues. From now on Gemma keep it professional .
Put Luca food in the tray he came down.

Hi Gemma, how are you feeling Jake was super worried about you last night.
Am fine , I was about to bring your breakfast to you. Am so sorry about last night. I didn't mean to scare you guys.

Oh Jake was really worried, I think he checked on you the whole night. I have never seen him so worked up as he was yesterday.

Maybe that why he was acting that way. I felt bad.

So Gemma what up with you and my buddy .
Nothing I said

It doesn't look like nothing to me.
I see the way you guys look at each other. There's something.
I swear nothing is going on, even if there was something after yesterday I don't think there will be.

The way Jake look at you, I have never seen him looked at some one like that not even his ex.

His ex.
Yes he was dating Sabrina but they broke up two months after break up she got married to her ex she dated before Jake.

I didn't know.
Since then he has been careful about  people he let in.
If you are in Hollywood you never know who is there for you or who wants to use you.

That hard .
You have to be on your toes everytime.

Hey buddy said Jake
Hey . Can we leave tomorrow evening I need to be in new York for TV appearances.
Wow you ready my mind, I was on the phone making arrangements about it.
I was coming down to ask you the same thing.

Wow he really wants to make sure we never see again, I was extremely mad that I slammed the fridge door hard.

Excuse me, I walked outside to get some air.  Did he has to make it obvious  .
Gemma are you feeling okay asked Jake.
Am fine am just getting some air.  I walked past him and went straight to my room.

Texted lacey, he stopped talking to me because he doesn't want a girl with daddy issues.
Lacey called me immediately. What are you talking about; I don't get your text.

Me and Jake I thought I felt something between us , I was emotional yesterday when he asked about my mom. I told him little about my life and this morning he decided we need to leave tomorrow evening instead of Sunday.

Gemma slow down, are you sure you didn't misread him , maybe he was just friendly with you since you are his guest and also a girl.

Lacey, no I didn't the way he stares at me. His eyes practically follow me around.

Am not there ; am just trying to figure out maybe just maybe you made a mistake. Cause if he into you he will not do that.

You are right , maybe I misread the whole thing.
Just calm down and we will talk  about it.

Thanks lacey.
You welcome girl. Love you.
Love you too.

I picked up my laptop and goggles Jake ex, I went deep into the rabbit hole .

Wow she's pretty , am sure she doesn't have a daddy issues.

Snap out of it Gemma .
I watch couple of movies on my phone.it  time for dinner

They were playing video games, I went to the kitchen to prep for the food I want to make.
Gemma do you need help asked Jake
No am fine I yell out.
He looked surprise the way I yelled back at him.

After few minutes he came , he tried to make smile but I was not having it .
Can you move out of the way, am busy here.

Gemma I just want to help.
I don't need your help sir, I had my hand on my hips .

Gemma did I do something wrong.
No you didn't.

Hey love birds can you keep it down yelled out Luca .
We're not love birds I said as I rolled my eyes.

Gemma I don't know what I did but whatever it's am sorry.
There's no point been sorry, I should be the one to be sorry about everything.

He walked back to Luca.
What happened Jake asked Luca

Trust me I have no idea, she bought me breakfast and she just left.
Did you say anything when she was with you .
I can't remember but I was busy with the jet schedule when she came in.

I know you dude , you don't know how to multitask. I can bet you ignore her when she came.

I think she took the wrong way .
I think me tell her some things also made her angry.just give her some space; when she's calm you guys can talk it out.
