Sweet N' Savory

Chapter 8 (In Jays perspective)

He is so weird and confusing. One second he hated his family now he misses them. I don't know what's up with his family but it doesn't make much sense.

"So...what do you want to do after we eat?" I asked. He just shrugged and continued eating. When I was looking down he slowly looked at me. When I slowly looked back he looked away. He did that about 3 or 4 times. Why does he look at me like that? I'm so confused...It's really really weird.

After we ate we went back in my room and we just laid on the floor with our hands behind our heads. He looked to the side at me. I slowly looked back. It was weird because our faces were so close, they were about three inches away. He didnt look back and neither did I. I didn't know how. It felt like I couldnt. It would've been awkward for me to look away yet it was awkward just sitting there staring.

It seemed like he had got closer some how. "God this is awkward. Look away...oh my god just look away! What the hell is wrong with you Jay! Just look a-freaking-way!" I thought to myself. I didn't look away. We just sat there staring. Soon enough it was dark out. "He's looking at me weird, like when I first saw him at the candy shop, and at the table...why?" I thought.

"C-can I...see your hand...?" he asked. What the hell does that mean. I slowly put my hand on his and he looked at my hand. "W-what...happened t-to it...?" He asked. I looked down at my hand and said, "I...burned it...". What the hell is this? What is happening? He looked back up at my face. "Your...hands are warm..." he said. His were cold...very cold, like ice against my hand. They were big too, but not really big...just bigger than mine, that's probably why they were cold.

We laid like that looking at eachother hands then randomly looking up at eachother all night. Eventually we fell asleep, but damn it was awkward as hell. I think he feels I'm like his little brother...I don't know honestly. I had an awkward dream that night but can't remember what it was about when I woke up. All I know is I felt weirded out.

When I woke up that morning our faces were closer. I slowly sat up and looked down at him. I felt a relief after doing that...I wasn't able to move last night...but now I can. "This is going to be awkward when he wakes up" I thought. I say that his towel was pretty much not covering anything and reaches to fix it. Then....he woke up...
