Helloooo!
I wanted to thank you for your beautiful comments about my friend, Raphael. They seriously made me smile and also cry....
I really love you! You have no idea how happy I was when I saw that you supported me and sent me so many messages and comments in which you tried to strengthen me, which I appreciate A LOT!!
I was with a friend of mine, reading your comments and I almost cried.
Thanks for all your support and everything. You all mean so much to me :)
I love you <3
-Chapter 12-
"Ok...so, tell me everything."- I said to Roxy.
We were at my place and I was nagging her to tell me everything about the hot guy from the fair.
"Um, ok. Where do I start from?"- she asked me, letting out a chuckle.
I laughed a little. "How about...you know, the beginning??"- I said back.
"Ok. Well, I was walking on the aisle after you were up at the kissing booth and I spotted a booth, in which you had to shot as many plastic ducks as you can. I made my way over there and when I was about to pay for my ticket I saw...the hottest guy I've ever seen. He was working there. I was...speechless when I saw him. He has brown hair and deep hazel eyes, which recalls me of chocolate."
"Yeah. I saw the guy, Roxy..he is cute."- I assured her.
Yeah, nothing compared to Nate, but still...! My subconscious said.
"Continue."-I told her.
"Well I asked him for a ticket, but he said at the end and when I got to shot the ducks, I couldn't do it. Not even one of them. So he said 'Ok, let me show you how is done!' , he placed the gun correctly in my arms, held my shoulders straight and put his hands over mine and he helped me. Guess what?! I shot all of them. Well, he helped me, but still...I shot all of them."
"Nice."- I said with sympathy.
"Yeah. And at the end when I wanted to pay for it, he said 'It's ok.' and didn't let me pay."- she continued.
"Awww. That was so kind and cute of him."
"I know. And that's how we started chatting. He asked me about myself and I asked him about himself. I know I don't know him for a long time, but I don't know...I just feel like I like him. He is different from any other guys. And he is modest. He works everywhere just to keep his family, because his father passed away and his mother hast to take care of his little brothers. He didn't complain about it, I asked him to tell me and so he did..."- she said, out of breath.
"God, Roxy. Chill, girl. I am not going to judge you, ok? Why are you so afraid I am going to tell you what to and not to do?? I know you like him, God...your whipped."- I said in a so-obvious-tone.
She laughed.
"You really know me, Jess."- she said.
"Yeah, I do. And please don't be afraid I am going to judge you, ok?"
She nodded.
"Actually, you would make a great couple."
"Really?"- she asked, shocked.
"Yeah."- I said, starting laughing.
"By the way, you didn't tell me his name."
"Oh yeah. His name is Lucas."- she said.
"Yep. A nice name for a nice guy."- I winked at her.
"You know, Jessie...I love you, girl."- she said, hugging me.
"I love you too, Rox."- I hugged her back.
She is a great friend. She understands me and I try to understand and not to judge her, too. I can clearly say that she's into this guy...and I am not going to let her let him go.
"So..tell me about the kiss."- she said.
"What kiss?"- I asked, pretending that I don't know about what she's talking.
"Come on, Jess, don't play dumb. I know you kissed Nate."
I smiled at the thought of that perfect kiss.
"From where do you know about it?"- I asked her.
"Are you kidding me?? Alexa and the boys told me every detail of it, thrice, in an hour!"- she said.
I laughed.
"They talked about it every singe moment. Do you know they call you...Jissy Kissy?"- she asked me, amused.
"Michael..."- I said as I remembered the first time when he called me that, after Nate and I kissed in the swimming pool. God, it felt like ages since it happened.
"Yeah."- she said, laughing.
"Anyway..what's up with him and Alexa??"- she asked me.
"Oh so you 've seen it too, right?"- thank God I am not the only one." Although Alexa told me about the mysterious guy, which it proved it's Michael, but now I am 100% sure that 'he' is definitely him.
"Of course I have! She's clingy when he's around."
"Huh! You are talking? You're exactly the same as her."- I said. She was also clingy when she was with Lucas.
"Whatever."- she said, as she blushed a little.
"You know, she told me about 'a guy' she likes, but she hadn't tell me who he was. I figured it has to be Michael, from the way she acts when he's around."
"Yeah, I know. She definitely likes him. That goes for Michael, too."-she pointed out.
"Mhm. I know."- I said, grinning.
"It's so nice to see that we found someone, but you...who do you like, Jessie?"- she asked me.
I thought about it.
I don't know who I like. At least, I don't want to admit who I like. I hated him at first, than I started thinking that probably he is a nice guy. He is so cute when he's around his sister and his brother. One second he's honest with me, then he turns into a jerk, then he's again cute, than he's an ass. I don't know, I just kind of started liking his ups and downs.
He's handsome, of course. He's the kind of boy, every girl would want to. He has his charm, he has that 'something' that every girl falls for, he has that one million dollars smirk of his.
He is a bad boy.
And I am the uninteresting new girl.
"So?"- Roxy asked me, interrupting my daydreaming.
"I don't know...I-"
"Let's go for a walk and you can tell me."- she said, cutting me off.
"Ok."- I said.
I grabbed my phone, locked the house and we were now on the street.
"Look, Jess, I know you have a thing with Nate, ok?"- she said.
What? What thing?? Ugh, Jessie...you don't even know what you think. One second you think of him like you could possibly like him and then you deny it.
My subconscious told me.
"See? You really do have something for him, Jess. I can see it in your eyes."- she said.
"I don't know, Rox. He is so different from me. He is something new. And the truth is I am afraid. I am afraid of liking a bad boy. I don't know, I just do."- I said. Yeah, it's the truth, don't judge me.
"I understand you, ok? I know what you think. You're afraid because probably when you'll find out the way you feel about him, he won't feel the same. You are afraid that he's gonna hurt you, because he is a player. Am I right?"
I nodded. God, this girl really knows me.
"Don't be afraid, Jessie. Take the risks, life is too short to live without risking. Try and fall in love, try and feel this unexpected and beautiful feeling of liking someone in a special way. I know Nate can be a jerk sometimes, I do...but probably 'the bad boy' is just a facade. Maybe he is a great guy, we can't be sure. You said it yourself how he is at home, with his family."
Wow, she really is such a girl
I hugged her, very tight.
"I love you, Roxy. I really do."- I said, while taking the breath out of her.
"Y-yea-hh... I love you ,too. Now step back before someone thinks we're lesbians or something."- she managed to say, since I was hugging her so tight.
"Yeah, ok."- I said, laughing at her comment.
"Thank, Roxy..for everything. You're really a good friend.You're always there for me."- I said, smiling at her.
"That's what friends are for."- she said, smiling back.
We walked down the alley, passing a lot of houses.
That's when I realized we were in a very familiar neighbourhood. Yeah, this is Nate's neighbourhood. How could I forget it? I watched every part of it when we were on his bike.
"Hey, Rox. Here lives Nate."- I said, pointing out in a corner, where an white mansion was zoned.
"Wow, that's his house??"- Roxy said, in shock.
"Yep. That was my reaction too, when I first saw it, sis."- I said.
She stared at it for few more minutes when a car stopped in front of us.
The passenger door opened and the most beautiful woman stepped out of it.
"Hey, Jessie."- she greeted me.
"Hello, Mrs. Jacobsen."- I said back.
Roxy looked at me, and I could see from the corner of my eye she wouldn't have expected to meet Nate's mom.
"And I suppose you're Jessie's friend, right?"- she asked Roxy, friendly.
"Yeah, um...we're friends."- she managed to say. God..why was she so shocked?!
"Are you friends of Nate's, too?"-she asked her.
Roxy looked at me, definitely not knowing what to say.
"Yeah. She also has some classes with Nate and the boys."- I said, saving the situation before she could say something stupid.
"Oh, nice. I see...well, would girls want to join us tomorrow night, at dinner? I would love to know you better."- she said. "Since you're the only girls I saw Nate being friends with."- she continued, winking at us.
This woman was a really nice one.
I hesitated for a moment, without knowing if I have to agree on this, or not.
"Yeah, we would love to."- I finally decided, since Roxy was still in trance. I didn't want to reject Mrs. Jacobsen ,because she was a very nice and kind person.
"Ok, lovely.See you then"- she said in excitement. "Nice to meet you, Roxy."- she said before getting back in the car and driving off.
"Did she just invited us, at dinner, tomorrow night???"- Roxy asked me.
"Yep. And we're definetely going."- I said to her.
I hope Alexa won't get upset. But I am sure she'll understand, she's great. It just happened for Nate's mom to be here. Maybe in that way, I'll find out my feelings for Nate.
"She is a really nice woman."- Roxy said, finally!!!
"Yeah, I know. And beautiful."- I pointed out.
"Yes."- she said. "What about their dad?"- she asked me.
I remembered the day Nate brought me to his secret place and tensed and became sad when I took up his father. I still don't know why. But I didn't want to tell Roxy this.
"I don't know. I never got to know him."- I said, trying to drop the subject.
"Ok. Come on, it's getting late and I have to go back home."- Rox said.
"Yep. Let's go."
