Facetime Calls~ jschlatt

~chapter 24~

Maybe going shopping wasn't as great as i thought it would be.. i mean, at first, i thought schlatt was going to be the problem.

He's acting weirder than usual, but i don't think he'd spend an hour and a half looking for new shoes. Ted, on the other hand...can't say the same about him.

"Ted man we've been waiting for fucking ever bro just pick a pair!" schlatt groaned at the dark haired man for what Nora felt like had to be the fifteenth time in the last two minutes.

"you shouldn't go shopping schlatt if you don't want to buy things, the whole purpose of going out to-" ted started up his usual ramblings before i had enough and cut him off.

"Ted actually for once i agree with him. Cant we go somewhere else, we could go buy food for dinner and ill cook?" i suggested to Ted, looking over at schlatt who nodded his head in agreement.

"You know, that's a great idea Nora, you and schlatt go have fun!" he said smiling at me and winking at schlatt.

"What that's not what i meant-" i said before schlatt, once again desides to cut off my words.

"Come on Nora, he'll be here for the rest of the fucking day until the store closes." He says as he grabs my hand gently and pulls me out from the store with the smiling man wishing us fair well.

i glanced over at schlatt who looked so concentrated in finding the right place to go.

He furrowed his eyebrows and scanned the mall before his eyes landed on me. He must have seen me staring at him because he asked what i was looking at.

" You're still holding my hand," i said boldy as he looked away from me.

He turned back and smiled and let my hand drop down as he walked into the store.

"So you're just going to let it go?" i pestered following him into the store.

"i thought you didn't want me to hold your hand," he smirked toying with me as he walked closer to my side.

"i didn't say that. I just pointed it out." i smiled and walked further down the aisle away from him. I stopped in front of a long line of fridges looking for something to cook.

Suddenly, i started to feel nervous around him. Maybe it was because we hadn't been left alone for this long since meeting. Or maybe it was because of what happened last time we were alone. The thought came to my mind once again, him cornering me in that kitchen, telling me how he felt.

I was deep in thought before i felt someone standing behind me.

"If you want me to hold your hand, i will, you know. Don't toy with me, " he says from behind me, reaching up and picking out a drink from the fridge i was in front. It was as if i could feel him smiling.

I turned around and faced him, inching closer, " Oh,trust me, i know you would," i fired back, knowing he wouldn't be able to respond.

For a second, i thought i saw him look down at my lips, as if it was the quickest glance of his life, as if he wasn't aloud to look.

I was definently sure i was dreaming when i saw him inch closer and..

"schlatt?"
