He's Back ...right ?

Chapter 1: "Is that you?"

Prologue :

"Jake? Is that you?" I asked squinting my eyes against the sun as I watched the tall figure walk towards me.

A goofy smile was plastered on his face in responce to my question.I returned the smile when he was an arms length away,I threw my hands around his neck."Long time Claire" his deep voice whispered in my ear making me shiver involuntarily."Ye-eah," I managed to stutter out.You'd think after all that time he still wouldnt have that effect on me...

***

Its been five years since Claire moved away from home since her dad's work had forced them to rellocate.She's your average ocean green-eyed girl with waist long dark hair.She's an only child and has two best friends,Angie and Carla.

Enough about Claire. Meet Jake Blue,her first crush and boyfriend ever. They were only in the sixth grade at that time and they split up when she moved.Now that he's back Claire wonders if he still feels the same way about her and if they'll be able to restore what they had before or he's moved on.Five years is a long time.........

Chapter 1:

Jake was back.

Jake was back!

"JAKE IS BACK!!" I yelled real loud while jumping on my bed like a five year old on sugar high. "Keep it down will you!" my mother shouted angrily at me from downstairs. May be I was beeing a little too loud considering my room was in the attic .....but I was too happy to care.His appearance that day had made me feel like I did way back when we were in sixth grade, like I was floating on cloud nine.

Suddenly exhausted from jumping up and down my bed,I lay down on it and let out a sigh of content.The numerous events following his arrival played in my head like a broken recorder.Sure nothing intimate had happened between us but being with him just did something to me that I couldn't explain.

It had gone down something like this........

Jake pulled away from the hug and run his eyes up and down my body shamelessly checking me out.I shook my head in amusement and disbelief while crossing my hands over my chest seeing that that was the area he seemed to be most intrested in.After about two more minutes of this I cleared my throat noisely finally getting his attention.

He looked up to meet my eyes and a smile came to his lips when he noticed what he had been doing.Rolling my eyes playfully at him and placing a playful smile on my face I stated confidentley"My turn" while now checking him out.He'd grown muscular but not the "Im on steroids "kind of look.Betting by the look of the tight black shirt he had on I guessed there was an eight pack underneath it. He wore black skinny jeans that were low on his waist and some black vans on his feet.He actually looked hotter than I remembered.

Content with eye raping him I lifted my gaze back up to his bemused one and smiled cockily at him."Not bad."I stated to him and he seemed taken aback by my compliment.Of course he's surprised! my inner voice yelled.When I left I had been a shy stuttering girl who hid behind a curtain of hair her whole life and even the fact that I'd gotten a boyfriend had not only surprised my friends and family but myself too. But that was before I'd met Angie and Carla and became the social butterfly I currently was.

Finally coming out of his daze,he muttered a weak thanks and I swear I saw a little blush rise up his cheeks but as quickly as it came it disappeared and I decided to let it go knowing that I'd probably imagined it. We stood there for a couple of minutes just studying each others faces before I looked away and awkwardly asked him if he would like to come in.My trip to the mall with Angie and Carla would have to wait until another day.I quickly texted them that I couldn't make it before leading Jake into our house.

My mother,who I was a hundred percent sure had been peeping through the window, walked towards us and engulfed Jake in a hug and gushed at how he'd grown etc.When she finally stopped yapping I grabbed his hand pulled him with me towards my bedroom and only stopped when we were behind closed doors.Trust me,when my mum started talking ,she'd never stop.Breathing a sigh of relief for finally getting away I turned to Jake who had this unreadable expression on his face.

I mentally noted something-he doesn't talk as much as he used to.I stared a for while before he finally looked up at me.Blushing slightly for beeing caught staring at him I cleared my throat nervously and broke the awkward silence that hang in the air"How you been?" I asked hoping he wouldn't give a one word answer and kill a possible conversation.

I wasn't disappointed when he went into great lengths and details explaining what had happened since I'd left . Turns out he danced now and took an interest in painting and soccer.When I asked him to show me some dance moves he totally refused until I'd tickled him into it.But that was not before he turned the tables on me and tickled me until I peed my pants.Talk about embarassing.

As an apology he did show me those dance moves,which were pretty good,but every time I tried my feet would get tangled up and would end up but or face first on the ground.Dancing wasn't my thing I finally concluded when the pain of all my falls finally got to me.

Anyways I also found out he'd moved to town because older brother Jamaine who was 19 had decided to go to a college around here and apparentely his mother couldn't stand the distance and forced the whole family to move.I for one was definetely not complaining because atleast Jake was back to living just down the street from us.

So the rest of the day went well with us talking ,joking,laughing, ocassionally flirting and at some point had a pillow fight which sadly I lost.It became late and unfortanetly he had to go. At the door he gave me a hug longer than neccesary but I wasn't complaining. It was at this point I'd run up to my room and started jumping up and down my bed like I was high on crack.

Sighing one more time I shifted cormfortably into my blankets and closed my eyes with a smile on my face.Jake was on my mind as I drifted of into a deep sleep.....
