Tripped and fell

Chapter 36

"Why did you come?" I ask Jayden, cleaning the bruise Luke gave him on his arm.

That fight was intense . Pretty sure that Jayden would've come back home with a broken arm if my mom didn't come break things up.

I guess that takes Luke out my list.

Which just leaves Jayden?

I blush at the thought of us going to valentines together. Him picking me up in a Lamborghini that he obviously can't afford. Me coming down with an expensive dress that I obviously can't afford.

If he noticed me blush, he doesn't show it.

"I came to pay my respects, but I guess I was late."

"Very"

He laughs. I blush again. Why do I keep blushing at everything?

"I know right? It's getting weird"

Did I say that out loud?

"Yes you did"

"Stop listening to my thoughts" I complain.

"But you said it outlo-"

"Shut up" I interrupt.

We laugh together and for a second I forget that I just got raped.

•••••••
"How do I look?!" My mom asked excitedly, and spins around like a 5 year old child.

"Mom you look fine" I say, rolling my eyes at her childishness.

Moms these days.

"Are you seriously still mad that he's coming to stay with us?" She asks.

I role my eyes for the 49352 time today.

"Yes!" I say in a "that's-so-obvious-mother!" voice.

"Why? He's ...amazing."

"He's a farmer" I remind her. It seems like it's not sinking in.

"So? What's wrong with that?"

"He should marry trees"

"That's stereotypical" she complains, rolling her eyes too.

"You're stereotypical" I mutter under my breath.

"What was that?"

"Nothing!" I lie, giving her the fakest smile ever.

I hear the door bell ring and my heart drops. He's here.

"Coming!" My mom calls out.

"Go open the door" she demands, giving me a death glare when I side eye her.

"Fine!" I say and walk down the stairs to the door. I hesitate, but finally open it.

Oh.

Wow.

I smile as I shake his hand. "Welcome to my house, my mother will be here in a sec'" i say, admiring him.
