Not so long after I dropped Jake off at his house I hear my phone buzzing, but I decide that I will take a look at it once I'm back home. I can't stop thinking about the way his cheeks turned slightly pink when I mentioned that I liked having someone around for once. After I arrive home I take a look at my phone and see a message from Jake.
Jake 🫠
Jake: "Get home safe"
"I did don't worry. Thanks for lunch by the way": Me
Jake: "No problem, glad you liked it. Maybe next time we can go together again?"
Jake: "I mean if you want to, no pressure"
I chuckle before answering him.
"I wouldn't mind going there again with you": Me
Jake: "Great can't wait :)"
I stare at my screen not knowing what to answer when I suddenly get called. I look at the caller ID and see that it is Alice. I wait until the phone goes to voicemail before I go back to the chat with Jake. While thinking what I could respond I walk around my apartment and see a charger that I don't recognize. I take a picture of it and send it to Jake.
"This yours?": Me
Jake: "Yeah I think so, where did you get it?"
"You must have looked over it because it's at my apartment": Me
Jake: "Oh I'm sorry"
Jake: "Can you like hold on to it until I can come pick it up?"
"Yeah sure but won't you need it?": Me
Jake: "I'll use my sisters they won't mind"
"If you say so": Me
"Let me know when you're free to come pick it up": Me
"Or do you want me to come bring it?": Me
Jake: "No it's fine I'll come pick it up later this week if you don't mind"
"Ok let me know then": Me
Jake: "I will thanks"
Just after he send that message, my phone rings again. Once again I ignore the call and just pick up the book I was reading earlier this week so that I can finish it. I enjoy the rest of my afternoon by reading the book which makes me forget the time, so when I finish it I notice that it's already time for dinner. Since I'm still not that hungry because of our lunch, I decide to just eat a bowl of cereal. I take my phone with me to the kitchen so that I have some entertainment while eating. I notice a few missed calls from Alice and a voicemail.
"Hey Chloë, I just wanted to say that I'm super sorry about what I did, I shouldn't have used you like that. I understand that you and Val, I mean Valerie don't see eye to eye but I really wanted to go and only you wanted to drive me so it was the only way for me to get there. I'm really sorry if I hurt your feelings and I really hope that you can forgive me. And I know I should've called sooner but we drank so much yesterday that I had a major headache and couldn't function properly. Can you like please call or text me back?"
I sigh and text her that we'll talk later and as a response a get a thumbs up. I keep myself busy during the rest of the evening until I decide to go to bed. I get in my bed and remember this morning, when Jake and I were all tangled up in each other. Then I remember his morning voice, which sent shivers up my spine when he asked me if I was okay. I though that only the memories of the feelings had come back when I first saw him again but maybe the feelings themselves came back because I can feel myself blushing again. This morning was also very overwhelming since I've never been so close with him.
Jake 🫠
Jake: "Can I come and pick up my charger today?"
"Uh yeah sure but not right now maybe arrive in like an hour?": Me
Jake: "Okay great! See you soon!"
It's Tuesday when I get the message from Jake. I finish my workout session and head home so that I can take a shower before he arrives. I did just that and I'm still putting on a shirt when my bell rings. I go to open my door and Jake is standing there. "Sorry I'm a bit earlier", he says as he comes in. "No problem let me just grab your charger from my room real quick", I respond. I go to the nightstand in my bedroom and grab his charger before going back to him. "Ah there he is, thanks Chloë!", he exclaims. "No problem at all", I say. "Your hair is still very wet", Jake remarks. "Yeah I was working out when I got your message so I finished the session and came home to shower", I explain. "Oh sorry I could've come another time if you would've let me know", he replies. "It's totally fine."
