Jill's POV
"Small world after all, huh babe?" Hayes says, smirking.
I wanna wipe that smirk off his face. Before I could do anything, Hayes' parents greeted Rachel and I.
"Hello, guys! Welcome to the neighborhood!" Elizabeth, Hayes' mom said to us.
"Thank you for having us!" Rachel says.
I smile and nod.
"So you guys came here all the way from Cali?" Chad asks.
"Yeah." I say, looking down.
Skylynn grabs my fingers and starts playing with them.
"This is a pretty ring." She says.
"Thank you, Sky!" I say.
Hayes comes close and looks at the ring. He rolls his eyes and goes back to playing on his phone. Elizabeth and Chad go back into the kitchen finishing making dinner.
Nash and Rachel make a slight conversation with each other and I thought it was cute. She needs to move from Cameron and seek happiness again.
Skylnn gets off my lap and runs to her room, I think. I look at Hayes and he's smirking at his phone.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
He puts his phone on his chest and looks at me. His bright blue eyes, meeting my hazel ones.
"Stalking some hot girls page. What about you?" He asks me.
I stare up at him.
"I have to go to the bathroom, excuse me." I say, getting up.
I eventually find the bathroom and I step in and shut the door, locking it. I don't know why, but I feel like I like Hayes. The way he talks, sends chills through my spine. The way his blue eyes shines through all the darkest of things. The way his pearly white teeth show through all. Everything I love about him. Now do I love him? I don't know. But, I sure as heck like him. I got so jealous when he called that girl hot, even if he didn't know her.
I look at my face in the mirror. I look down and sigh. I run my fingers through my hair. I then splash my face with water. There was a knock at the door.
"Give me one sec!" I say.
I look at myself and mouth 'you can do this, Jill. You got this.' I take a deep breathe and open the door, to be revealed by Hayes.
"Hi." I say.
"Hey." He replies back.
"Can I help you...?" I say.
"We should talk." He says.
"I don't think that's necessary." I say.
Hayes steps into the bathroom and shuts the door, locking it. He stands by the door so I don't try to escape.
I cross my arms and groan. "Let me out, Hayes."
"Why did you get so jealous when I called that girl hot?" He asks me, smirking.
"I-I wasn't jealous." I say, rolling my eyes and stepping back from him.
He steps close to me. "Do I make you nervous, Jill?"
"N-No." I say, gulping.
He snakes his arms around my waist. And for once, I feel protected.
"W-We umm.. should get back to the living room. I think dinner is almost ready." I say.
He stares in my eyes and speak, "Dinner is actually ready."
