My Beloved//Jake Kiszka

Ch.4

A/N: This so another simple short chapter but I promise things will be picking up soon :)

It was a long, boring, rainy day at school. Once that final bell rang you got your stuff and rushed out.

Just like always Jake was the first one at the car. "Hey emo" you say to him. "They need to hurry up I don't want to get soaked out here." Jake sighed. Once everyone got to the car, you all headed to the house.

You all made your way to the garage. The boys in there usually spots. You laying down on the couch. Izzy sitting on the floor doing her homework.

"So Y/N, what do you want for your birthday?" Your birthday was coming up, and every day this week, that's all they could ask you. "Guys just like I told you yesterday, I just want to hang out with you guys." You say with a smile. "Good because I don't think I can afford anything." Sam jokes.

After they played a couple of songs, the boys got bored so they all sat down. Sam in his chair. Josh in the bean bag. Danny in the random hammock him and Sam bought last weekend at the thrift store. Jake walked over and lift up your head and up it on his lap.

You guys all talked cracked some jokes. Izzy finally finished her homework. Sam noticed, "High circle?" he suggested. Everyone agreed and sat in a circle around the coffee table.

You all passed around a joint. The boys started talking about if aliens existed. "They are real man." Sam said. "No way, there's no proof" Danny argued. " I don't know Sam could be right on this one" You say. "Come on not you too?" Jake said in disappointment. "I mean come on, you think we are the only thing in this whole universe?" You ask Jake. " Thank you Y/N! This is why you are my favorite" Sam said.

After a big argument about aliens. The topic changed to music, and the boy argued about who was the best. "Definitely Jimmi" Jake says. "No way" Josh rolls his eyes. "What do you think Y/N?" Danny asks. "Lana Del Rey." You say. "Yes I agree!" Izzy finally speaks after what felt like hours. "She was so real for signing "My pussy tastes like Pepsi-Cola" Izzy laughs at herself.

You agree you had the joint to your lips, but it gets pulled away. "Only girls with good music taste get the joint." Jake says. "I think she's pretty good." Danny says. "SHES HOT!" Sams says looking at his phone. "Wait let me see!" Jake says leaning to Sam.

After a moment you hear your stomachs growl. "I'm starving." You say. " I second that" Sam says now laying in the couch. "TO THE KITCHEN!" Danny yelled.

❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀ ❀

You, Izzy, Josh, Jake, Sam, and Danny,  gathered in the kitchen, ready to make some food. As they chopped veggies and mixed ingredients, Izzy and Josh couldn't resist their teasing banter.

"Hey Josh, don't cut your finger off while chopping!" Izzy says. "Oh please, Izzy. I'm a pro. Unlike you, Miss Clumsy!" Josh says back.

You and Jake exchanged shy glances, their secret crushes hidden beneath their playful interactions.

"Jake, could you pass me the salt?" You ask. "Sure, Y/N. Here you go. Do you need anything else?" Jake said with a smile. You blushed, "No, thanks. Just the salt."

Meanwhile, Sam kept the kitchen lively with his witty remarks and hilarious antics."Hey Danny, watch out for the hot pan! We don't want you turning into a grilled cheese!"

Danny laughed, his sweet nature shining through."Thanks, Sam. I'll be careful. Can I help anyone with anything?"

As the aroma of their cooking filled the kitchen, Izzy couldn't resist taking another playful jab at Josh.

"Hey Josh, looks like your dish needs a little extra spice. Maybe I can lend you some of my cooking skills!" Izzy teases. Josh rolled his eyes, but couldn't hide a smirk."Oh please, Izzy. You wish you could cook like me. But hey, feel free to taste my masterpiece once it's done. You might learn something!"

You and Jake continued their dance of hidden affection, stealing glances whenever they thought no one was looking.

"Jake, do you think this dish needs more garlic?"You ask holding up the spoon for him to try a taste. "Hmm, I don't know. Maybe a little bit. But you know what it really needs?" Jake reach's behind you, not breaking the eye contact. He holds up the little bottle of pepper. "Yeah, maybe you're right." You say blushing at his actions.

Sam, the life of the party, couldn't resist cracking another joke."Hey Danny, you've been so sweet to everyone. Are you secretly mixing sugar into the dishes?" Danny chuckled, his kindness shining through. "Nah, Sam. Just spreading some love and sweetness. It's the secret ingredient that makes everything taste better!"

As the tantalizing aroma filled the air, the group couldn't resist digging into their culinary creation. They gathered around the table, ready to taste the fruits of their labor.

Izzy took the first bite, her eyes widening in delight. "Mmm, this is amazing! The flavors are so well-balanced!"

Josh smirked, pleased with the compliment. "Told you, Izzy. My cooking skills are on point!"

Y/N and Jake sat next to each other, their hands brushing against each other as they reached for the same dish. "Oops, sorry! Here, let me serve you."

Jake smiled, feeling a warmth spread through his heart. "No worries, Y/N. It's nice to share this meal with you."

Sam, always the joker, pretended to dramatically savor each bite."Mmm, the taste of victory! We've conquered the kitchen, my friends!"

Danny, with his genuine appreciation for good food, savored every mouthful. "This is delicious, guys. Great job, everyone!"

With laughter, friendly banter, and satisfied smiles, the group enjoyed their homemade feast, cherishing the bonds they had formed through their adventure.
