Burned Intentions

Retrogression

I walk downstairs and out the door. I see Jesse parked his polo vivo on the street. I get in and put my bag in the back seat.

Hey. He says with a huge grin on his face.

Hey. I look at him and try to smile, but I looked away because it was just too fake.

He drives away and we stay in silence. Where could Jaydon be? I mean I don't want to think the worst. He could have gotten lost or something. But at lunch break, really? My subconscious adds. I sigh.

What's wrong? You're awfully quiet, since we last spoke. Jesse breaks the silence.

Jaydon is missing. The words fly out of my mouth.

Since when?

Yesterday, lunch break at school.

Why didn't you tell me?

Aunt Claire only told me before I left because I slept early yesterday.

He sighs.

You don't think- I mean do you think that Will- that like he would you know? He stops and keeps rearranging his sentence. But I know exactly what he meant.

I don't know honestly, that's what I'm not sure of. I place my head in between my knees.

He stops the car and I glance up at Mugg&Bean. It has one of thee best chocolate chip muffins.

Sky, look at me. He puts his hand on my face and I turn to look at him. No matter what happens we're going to get through it ok. William will not win, not in this life time.

I smile and nod my head. Thank you.

Now! Let's go get some breakfast, I'm ravished.

I laugh. There is never a time Jesse is not hungry. When ever I see him he is either eating or thinking about eating but doesn't have food on him at the moment. We get out and walk into the coffee shop. It has a nice vintage look to it, even has the woody smell. We walk up to the booth in the far end. It has a nice view looking outside to the sun rising and it's far from everyone else.

Can I get you something? The waiter asks, he as a British accent.

My head snaps up and I look at him and my jaw drops open. He is so handsome. Like I can't even begin to explain. He has wild curly hair, his eyes are a hazel brown, pink full lips and his smile! Ok I don't know what it is with me and a guys smile. I look at Jesse and I swear even Jesse is thinking the exact same thing I am.

Are you guys going to order or keep staring at me, like I'm a fish out of water? He asks.

Sorry I just can't get over how handsome you are. Like my mind is still trying to adjust. I blurt out.

He laughs like literally laughs and his cheeks go red. I smile at him.

I have to say you're as beautiful, I just choose not to stare at people.

I snort and Jesse clears his throat.

Oh sorry mate, I wasn't coming on to your girl or anything, I was just stating the truth. He clarified.

My heart flutters at him calling me Jesse's girl.
Jesse smiles at him.

Trust me I know. Most beautiful girl I've ever set my eyes on. He moves his eyes from the waiter to me and I flush and look down.

The waiter clears his throat, he seems a bit uncomfortable.

Ok, let's order. I say. I'll have a Caffè Latte and choc chip muffin.
