Does He Love Me, too?

Chapter 10

We ate in quietness. Which I really hate. Quietness with Jere feels terrible. 

I stare at him. I finished early and he's a slow eater.

He glances up at me and blushes.

"S... Something wrong?" Jeremy stops eating.

"I'm just really tired. I had nightmares that made me not able to sleep well." I answer.

"Wh.... What were they about?"

I feel his leg rubbing against mine. I know my table is small, but it'll take a bit to touch each other.

I bump my leg on his. He is starting a game with me.

"Rejection and dying at work." I answer as his leg hits me back.

Jere giggles a bit. He frowns after hearing 

"I... I have nightmares like th... That." He tells me. 

I put my leg just hardly touching him. Then I move up to tickle him.

He kicks the table to get my foot away. "Ow." He let's out with a smile.

Jeremy finishes his supper. I pick up the plates and put them in the sink.

I'll wash them after eating cake. I'll try my best to remember about them.

I turn around to find that Jere left me.

I hear my tv turn on. I was playing my PlayStation last so my tv needs changed back.

"Want to play a round of call of duty zombie mode or watch tv?" I walk in to the living room.

"Th... The game." He smiles at me.

......

I never knew Jeremy never played a video game before till now.

I'd like to say he did great, even OK, but I don't want to lie. He knows he isn't that good.

I told him we made it to level 31 and that's good. 

Then he told me he did a game cheat while I wasn't looking. He did it without meaning to, but just let it rank it up to pass 20.

I sigh to myself. "I've been trying forever to do that cheat!" I've been trying to for about a month.

"I... I'm sorry!" Jeremy yells back scared.

"No. That's good!" I smile at him. "Hey, want to start a game of hide and seek? It's a Easter Egg on this." (Please note on Black Ops this one map that does trigger a hunt for things if you shoot a Teddy bear nailed to a telephone pole behind a fence. I did that before, so this is real Easter Egg on the game)

"S... Sure." Jeremy smiles.

He was up in my lap every time the hellhounds came out to play or when he was low on bullets. He also shouted and screamed.

I would calm him down and save him.

It makes me feel like a prince.

We played till Jere's stomach called out for cake. I laughed as he blushed from his noisy stomach.

"Let's go eat the chocolate ice cream cake." I smile at him.

....

Done!
