Chapter 17 - Old House

Chapter 17 - Old House

I woke up on some bed that smelt musky.

Wait what?

"Where am I?" I stood up from the bed.

"We're at Blake's apartment, it's the closest to where we were" Luke informed me.

"What?" I snapped. "Please tell me this is not his bed" I warned Luke.

"Umm...I'll go get you some water" Luke panicked and left me all alone.

"What an asshole" I muttered.

"Who's an asshole?" I heard someone behind me.

"Umm.. never mind. I have to go. It's unprofessional-"

"Dude. I don't really care but you just fainted an hour ago" Blake glared at me.

"An hour ago?" I panicked.

"Yeah" he looked at me as if I was stupid.

"Whatever. Thank you but I'm going to go, I have to go get going. I don't want to disturb or anythin-"

"Why do you feel like you're disturbing? Dude you're like family except you just disappeared all of a sudden" Blake muttered angrily.

"For god sake I just don't want to be around you because you make me nervous and I might say things I'm not supposed to" I sighed.

"I make you nervous?" He smirked.

Where's that damn knife?

"Blake I don't have time for this. Here's my number. Call me if you need me okay?" I handed him my card. "Have a good evening" I shook his hand and went out the door.

Gosh.

"Gabriella" he called out.

"Yeah?"

"I don't need your card. I already have your number" he furrowed his eyebrows.

"oh I thought you deleted it. anyways, goodnight"

I went in the bakery and looked for the chef.

"Hello Mr. Roonèa" I shook his hand.

"You're Gabriella!" He said in his Italian accent.

"Yes, I am. So, the cake. How long is it going you take?"

"When's the wedding?"

"In a month"

"It will take around 3 weeks"

"Hmm.. okay" I pouted my lips considering the time.

"But you know, her dream was to make this cake that would have been made by you and blake" he frowned a bit and showed me the sketch.

Oh no. Blake and I always used to bake.

"Oh okay" I frowned and took the sketch.

"Yeah, she said it would've meant the world to her" he sighed.

I discussed further more about it and it turns out that it would take less than three weeks which is good. I drove home because it was getting late.

I still can't believe I was sleeping on his bed. What the hell!

I reached my apartment and honestly, it's been a long day. I was so tired but then I saw Seth and Jack in the apartment with Rachael. Why are they here?

"Hey Gab" Seth waved.

"Heyy gabi" jack smiled.

"Hey" I smiled.

Umm.

"We were just here because of the bow ties, they're too tight so Rachael went back and got us the right size" Seth mentioned.

"Oh, okay. So tomorrow I'm going to take you guys to get those haircuts?"

"Yeah" jack put his lips in a staight line.

I had the most awkward moment with them ever had. I can't believe we're not close anymore. Well, I don't doubt it. It was my fault.

I headed to bed because I have to go visit grampa's house early in the morning. It's his birthday, I can never miss it. Even though I'm not around anymore.

---

I woke up at 9 am and I took a quick shower and quickly dried my hair. I let my natural curls fall since it was nice today. I decided on wearing a maroon tank top with a black cardigan and some ripped jeans.

I was done getting dressed up and drove to the old house. Gosh I miss that place.

"Gabi!" Gramma went and hugged me.

"Gramma!"

"How are you sweety? The last time I saw you was on Christmas, you only stayed for 30 minutes" she frowned.

"I know" I sighed.

"But Blake wouldn't mind if you came"

"I know but I feel like I was just a mistake"

"Honey you were never a mistake, I personally think that you were the best thing that ever happened to him"

"Nah, I was always pressuring him" I shrugged.

"No you didn't. Come on inside, he's excited to see you again"

We came inside and I was holding the gifts.

"Gabi! You didn't have to get us gifts all the time, Blake is already getting curious with who sends these" Grampa hugged me.

"Is he? But I really want to bring gifts every time I come" I shrugged.

"I know" he frowned.

The doorbell rang

"What was that?" My eyes went wide.

"Blake's here already?" Grampa asked shocked.

I have to leave now.

"Grampa I'll come back when he leaves" I said with sorrow and went to the back door.

Shit.

"Gabi?" Blake's eyes widened.

I turned and walked straight to the front door.

"Gabi!" He caught my arm.

Darn these doors!

"Hmm?" I looked down letting my hair cover my face up.

"You came back here?" His eyes were so god damn dreamy that I wanted to shoot him.

"Bl-bla-blake I h-have to go" I stuttered so much I mentally wanted to choke myself.

"But it's Grampa's birthday" he frowned.

"Yeah but-I'm n-not really in the fa-fam.." I mumbled.

"Family? Gabriella you are like the golden child here. Why would you think that? Everyone misses you" he was being the old blake but he's so cold now.

I don't blame him.

"Everyone misses me?"

"Trust me, everyone" he rolled his eyes.

I shyly went to the living room and I saw them open up the gifts.

"You're the 'friend' that gives these?" Blake got shocked.

"Yeah" I looked down.

"I knew it. It's impossible for some friend to know what I exactly want" he clenched his jaw.

"I got everything you wanted?" I got overwhelmed.

"It's not surprising" he rolled his eyes.

"I guess" I bit my lip.

"Stop doing that" he mumbled.

Oops. Forgot that.
