Hot Chocolate Stand

Close To Me

Devon's POV:

I couldn't stop thinking about him. About Jake, I got home and I had some leftovers for dinner. My mom wasn't able to cook tonight because she had a night shift. Which is okay, it's normal for her to have an unexpected night shift. But after I had dinner I went up to my room and I couldn't stop thinking about Jake. My mind just kept thinking about the little moments. Like how when I put the twenty dollars in his hand and didn't let go of it. His hand was cold, but I didn't want to let go of it.

Then when he took the photo of me. Also when I figured out he also likes horror movies. Then in the car when at the red light when I put my hand on his shoulder. We were just staring at each other for a second. His eyes are so beautiful, and his hair looks so soft. I couldn't stop thinking about him.

I've known him since middle school because he listened to my podcast and he was the cousin of my old best friend junior. But he moved away but I still knew who Jake was before I met Junior. I kinda liked him in middle school, he was like my gay awakening I guess. But now he's even more beautiful since then. Shorter hair but it still looks soft. He's also such a good person, that's one of many reasons I gave him my number.

I picked up my phone and I looked through our messages. We were not stop texting each other before we went over to Lexy's. I had to process him messaging me. I guess I was having a gay panic for like 5 minutes straight. During those five minutes I called Lexy asking her what I should do. She really just said I needed to stop overreacting like she didn't do the same thing whenever Nadine texted her. I then decided to message Jake again.

Jake :)))

Devon: Hiii

Jake: Heyyy

Devon: it was nice talking to you today

Jake: yeah I enjoy talking to you

Devon: well would you like to continue talking?

Jake: Well yeah I wouldn't to just talk for a day and never talk again

Devon: I mean do you want to continue talking right now

Jake: wdym?

Devon: I mean do you wanna call?

Jake: I would love to call you <33
^Jake deleted the message^

Devon: what did you just say?

Jake: I just said I would like to call :)

Devon: then why did you delete the message?

Jake: I miss clicked

Devon: okay :)
Devon: but I'll call you :)

Jake: okay :)

I called Jake and he immediately answered. His face cam was off tho so I couldn't see him. "Whys your face cam off?" I ask. "Oh my hair just looks funny right now" he says in response. "I don't care if your hair is messy I just want to see you" I say smiling. He turned his camera on and I don't know what he was worried about. His hair looked perfectly fine, it actually looked softer than it did earlier.

We talk for hours and I didn't even notice it was 3 in the morning. I was so busy talking to him about literally everything. From our favorite movies to annoying teachers. We both agreed with each other when one of us found a teacher annoying. "So wait you didn't do your math homework for years?" I asked. "Yeah no one told me we even had math homework until my dad yelled at me for getting bad grades in math when I got amazing grades." Jake says. He sounds tired and so do I because it is 3 in the morning and we have half school tomorrow but it's only a half day.
