Finding Jess

Chapter 5 - Oops!

I scampered down the stairs in hope of finding what I thought I would. And yes, it was. There was no better desciption for the joyous expressin on my face other than ebullient! Because before me stood Brad alongside a plate stacked with tall pile of fluffy pancakes topped with milky vanilla ice-cream and chocolate fudge sauce.

"I love pancakes."  I basically almost yelled out eagerly."There's no cinnomon in them right?" 

"No and I was actually going to start by saying sorry for invading your cabinets, but by the glowing look on your face I guess that I'm forgiven." He said almost puzzled. "Anyways... I couldn't help myself, the pancake mix was next to the cocoa." he said with a smile.

"Fuck, I don't give a shit. YOU MADE PANCAKES!" I said with eyes as big as saucers. "And you even used the world's best sauce. I could just... I could just kiss you." I said without any thought of choosing my correct words.

After realising my words the uncomfotable feeling already started tickling up my throat. My cheeks turned a deep shade of red and I kept my gaze upon the glistening white tiled floor. Brad was blushing too, except his blushing was accompanied by a boyish smirk.

For a someone that's sixteen I am extremely short and have a very high pitched voice, but Brad on the other hand has this little baby face. It's so cute I bet it'a make people go' aaawh'. Wait-wait-wait I'm drifting aren't I... okay back to the awkwardness.

"Go ahead then I'm waiting," Brad said jokingly, smirk and all.

"Ugh, you wish! Maybe some other time," I laughed and playfully punched him in the arm.

"Don't tease me like that." He nagged

"Not...my...fault." I said in between bites of my fluffy delicious pancake."Wow this is good!" I added.

"Really." Brad said laughing.

"And why are you laughing?" I said sternly.

" Your timing. Your impeccable timing on changing the subject."

"Sorry," I said with a full mouth. "My stomach was literally beating me up from the inside in hope that I'd blurt out those words. Wait... you should be flattered, so why are you complaining? You have no reason to, so either you say thank you or you shut the hell up." That was mean, but atleast I smiled at the end.

"Okay... Okay, I'm sorry."

"And..." I said expecting another answer.

"And thank you."

"My pleasure." I said with an irrating smile.

Once our pancakes were devoured ( I swear that we looked like homeless people who haven't eaten in years ) we went and sank into the sofa to enjoy our cocoa. Well by the time we got to it, it was basically chocolate milk. Ice cold!

"Should I walk you home?" I didn't really want to walk him home, I was just trying to be polite. 

"No it's alright, I can manage on my own."

"No, I insist." Why didn't I just say okay.

"No, I'm fine."

"I want to and I will." I stupidly persisted. Shut the fuck up. I should really listen to my subconcious.]

"Okay, but won't your mom be a tad worried when she gets home, and your dad'll freak."

"Oh no you've got it completely wrong, my mom would have a heart attack if I'm missing and my dad... um, but yeah anyway... my mom is working night-shift.

"Then atleast let me stay a while longer, I can't go to sleep tonight knowing that you're here alone."

"But-"

"C'mon, I'll text my dad and tell him to pick me up later."

"No. I'm old enough to stay on my own." You basically do it every single day of your life, my subconcious reminded me. "Besides it's 21:30 and we have school tomorrow."

Ugh! I completely forgot that school was like an everyday thing now. Unlike last year when I...I...I almost...um did that thing. Did I really need to go back to that trecherous black hole consuming people's lives. I mean like.... education is overrated anyway!

"Who cares, no ever sleeps this time anyway." And yes, he was right. Nobody is ever asleep at this time, well I mean unless you're a second grader

"Okay..." I gave in. "Stay if you want , but all that I know is I'm not sticking around. I'm gonna get the shower running for myself, but you can make yourself at home."

"Kay. Can I give myself a tour of the house though?"

"Sure, do what you want. Just don't mess it up more than it already is."

Now that I think about it, I guess the house was big enough for a half-an-hour tour. It was prettty big. Sometimes... okay not sometimes, most of the time I'd walk into the wrong room. I know. Genius!

"First I got to have an adventure through your cabinets, now I get to have one through your house. I'll call it the 'Everything Jessica Simpson Tour'." He said whilsy laughing and eagerly trotted off.

"What the fuck! No don't call it that.... Don't call it anything." I yelled after him. He just ignored me anyway. 

No offense, ut what the hell is up with Brad and all of this adventure shit? Seriously? Who does he think he is? Dora the fucking explorer?

But anyway, I left Brad to "explore" And hopped in the shower. That shower felt like more than just water.It was the one solace today that I actually enjoyed with great pleasure. The scorching liquid didn't race, but gracefully danced down my spine diverting my thought from the world around me. I really didn't want to get out, but I guess it wouldn't really be the best idea of receiving a water bill that sky high. So...yaeh.

I lazily flopped out of the shower almost slipping whilst wrapping a clean towel around myself. The shimmering droplets of water in my hair made it look slightly black. It was quite appealing, then again it wouldn't properly suit me since I'm so unprepossesing. As I walked out of the bathroom towards my bedroom, I started softly singing a song.

*Singing*

"So open your eyes and see"

"The way our horizons meet"

"And all of these lights will leave"

"Into the night with me"

"And I know these scars will bleed"

"But both of our hearts believe"

"All of these stars will guide us home" 

"Wow you sing beautifully-"

"Aaaaagggghhhhh!" Brad and I both yelled together, becuase when I entered my room he was in it sitting on my bed. I entered in a towel. Just A TOWEL!

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry Jess. I was just looking at some of you photographs and I didn't think you'll be that quick. I'm so sorry, I'm sooo sorry," He said covering his eyes and dashing out of the room.

I'M BACK!!! AND I'M LOVIN IT...
