Love?

Chapter 4

"Mason, I haven't seen you in a week what the hell!?" I spoke with stong irritation in my voice when I saw him that following Tuesday.

"Sorry, Scar. Hey, I'll make it up, you wanna come over; watch a movie?" He answered.

"Fine." I sighed, not very excited but at least I'll be with Mason. He can tell me about his aunts visit.

"Cool." Mason said, kissed my forehead, pulled out his phone and walked away.

Why does he keep doing that, kissing my forehead. He never does that.

When I got to Masons house later that day. Mason had popcorn and soda set out on the coffee table ready for our movie night. How sweet, he was anticipating my needs. We cuddled up on the couch and began to watch a romcom.

Mason got a text in the middle of the movie, stepped out of the room and made a phone call, only lasted about 3 minutes and came back in. After the movie he told me his mom was at his aunts house and was in desperate need of his help, Though he told me nothing specific I could tell he was desperate to go and help her.

" We could finish our date night some other time." I told him, disappointed but understanding.  I let him leave and I walked back home.

On my way home I stopped, turned around and then took out my phone and texted Jace.

'Hey Jace are you busy?'

'No why?'

'Can I come over?'

'Yeah'

I was already on my way to his house. So I'm glad he isn't busy, Because if he was his plans were going to be canceled the second I knocked on the door.

I walked up the front steps then knocked on the door and I felt this weird burst of energy. I didn't know where it came from but the second I saw Jace as he opened the door, I gave him a big hug. Jace hugged me back but I didn't let go. I had no idea why I was so excited by seeing him, I literally just saw him yesterday. When I finally let go he looked me in the eyes confused, and worried.

"Scarlett? Are you okay? Did Mason hurt you? Are you injured?" He asked with increasing concern in his voice as I remained silent in his line of questioning.

"No, I'm okay." I answered with a giggle.

"Are you sure? No bruises? No scars? No marks of any kind?" He asked again still looking me in the eyes. He's so cute when he's worried.

Wait...What?!

"Nope, all is okay." I reassured him.

I followed him into the house and to his room. I couldn't shake that thought I just had. I did just acknowledge that Jace was cute. What did that mean? Does it mean that the burst of energy and the hug was because I have feelings for him that I don't know about?

"Scarlett? You're sure you're okay?" I hear Jace say.

"Yeah, sorry I was thinking about something." I explained.

I stayed at Jace's for two hours then I went home to think about it some more.

I laid there on my bed thinking about what I thought of Jace. I've known him just about my whole life and never thought I thought of him like that. I mean it's not like I don't like anything about him. I guess I do think he's cute when he's worried about me, or when he smiles or the way he laughs. I find it charming that he never farts in the same room as me. Many of my favorite moments have been spending spring breaks on vacation with Jace, Emily and Jaces family... Oh my gosh I think I like Jace! I've got to talk to Emily about this. Now!
