Are we still friends? (Tomjake AU)

Part nineteen - Butterflies in my stomach

Jake's POV:
Is been a busy day at the bakery shop today. I can't stop thinking about that night, it was like he was a special person towards me It feels like he doesn't want to ignore or avoid me now. But I couldn't sleep last night from thinking a lot.

While Miriam was giving boxes of desserts I was sitting at an empty chair staring at the window and cars passing by, until my phone makes a notification noise. Look at my phone to see it was Tom messaging me.

After Miriam gave a box to a person she looks into me from the distance. "so how did you and Tom go at the bar a week ago?"

I sighed "it was fine, last night he gave me a bouquet which was nice of him." I hide my smile appeared on my face. My phone kept on buzzing as I'm trying to ignore it. But I finally opened my messages.

Tom: jake!! You there?

Jake: sorry for not answering your text, yeah?

Tom: is alright, anyway do you wanna watch the stars tonight with me and you and me get off work?

Jake: would love too! 😊

Tom: great! meet me at that grass hill up the street!

Oh god is happening again... my stomach is acting funny. Suddenly Miriam snapped her fingers in front of my face just to get my attention. I lifted my head up fast and looked at her.

"Huh! Remember what you said to Tom that he couldn't see me-"

"I'll allow you both to see each other because it looks like y'all are being friends with each other. You can go." Miriam gave me a warm smile.

I got up to my chair and hugged her "thank you! You never know how much this makes me happy!"

Miriam laughs "Okay, okay, let me go before you crush me with this bear hug or yours."

I let go, "Sorry." Then chucked.

We both get back to giving out boxes. Can't wait for tonight, hope Troy don't show up or even follow me this time.
