Does He Love Me, too?

Chapter 13

Jeremy left while I was sleeping. He made food and left some for me, along with a note to why he left.

"Grandma called and told me to go see Mom. I tried my best to get out of her what it was, but she was too happy to tell me what happened. Sorry to leave while you're sleeping, but I think it is very important I go see her. Hope you slept well. Jere."

I read it out loud as I eat.

Something popped into my head.

Jeremy wrote this note and I still have my secret admirer's note.

I quickly hurry to get the letter. I came back and puts the notes beside each other.

Things were making up perfectly! Everything looked the same!

I think more while smiling.

Then I frown. Something's up with Jere's mom.

I need to know what happened.

I quickly call Jeremy as I mess with the string on my sweat pants.

"H... Hello?" Jeremy crocks out.

"Hi Jere. I want to know what's up with you're mom.... Also, this is Mike." I forgot to say my name first.

"H... Hi Mike!" Ow, my ear. "M... My mom can talk again!" Ow, my ear again.

"What? Please don't yell this time." I move the phone away from my hurting ear to the other ear.

"M... Mom can talk again. Also, s... Sorry for yelling." Jeremy falls quiet as I hear a woman talking. "M... Mom wants to talk w... With you."

I shallow hard. She can talk now. My secret may be out soon.

Why was I dumb enough to tell the person I love, mother that I loved their child?

"Hello Mike." A woman talks kindly.

"Hello." I say softly. I'm trying to hide me freaking out.

What did I enough have to fall in love like a story? This is totally like a story.

Why did my mind make me do this? Why?

"I know you say more than that. Jeremy may just be making stuff up about you." She chuckles as I hear Jeremy the background. I have no clue what he's saying.

"I'd say more if I wasn't nervous, just woke up, or really confused." I'm looking for my keys now and I can't find them.

"Oh. Jeremy said he cleaned the table. He put  things by the door or in the closet. He also stop tossing stuff down randomly." She laughs as embarrassed Jeremy yells at her.

I chuckles also. "Tell him force of habit."

"I also have more stuff to say what he said. He wants to know what you said to me. Should I answers?"

"No!" I shout. I realize I screamed in her ear. "Sorry. I'm just not ready for him to know."

I sit down in a seat. When will I ever be ready?

I got my crush on him ever since we were little and it grew and grew, just like us.

"I'm not ready at all." I whisper into the phone.

I sigh and look at my photos. Why do I have so many of Jeremy and me?

"Well, he's getting close to telling is special someone. He just looking for the right time."

I heard Jere yelling in the background.

"Tell him.... I'm looking for a good time also and ask if he'll be find going to the Texas Roadhouse with me."

I wait..... And wait....

Why is no one talking to me?

I check to see if they hung up on me.

They didn't. So why is no one talking.

"I... I would love to go Mike." Jeremy finally answers me. "What t... Time?"

"You pick. We don't have to work tonight. Well, I know I do. I got the day off somehow." I sighs.

"I h... Have it off also.... Let's s... Say nine?"

"Nine is perfect. See you then." I smile. I just set up a date.

"See you. Bye." He hangs up.

I put my phone down and sigh.

How long have I known Jere?

Let's see, I'm about to turn 21 next month and in the winter, he'll be turning 18.

Three years apart. I moved here when I was eight. We met at school when he was six.

I hate math, but it get things done.

12 years. So I had a crush on him for over 10 years.

They say if you have a crush for over a year, it's love.

I'm in love with my best friend and best coworker. 

I think I should tell him, but....

I'm human. I get scared and rejection is one of my fears.

Another thing for being human, I want loved. I want to be in it and give it to someone.

I want love. Everyone wants love.

Should I tell him?

Wait! Why did I ask him to go somewhere fancy with me?

I do have the money for it, but it's the fact I asked him to a place that cost a lot.

That place is my, we've been dating a lot and I think I should bump up my game with you.

I only took three girls there. Each one failed a few weeks later.

I haven't even asked the boy if he'll even date me! This is a big step for me! Going out without being together with someone I like.

I wish my heart will calm down.

It'll be fine....

I hope.

......

This chapter is longer! Yes!

Also sorry for the long wait.
