Tough Love *STILL FINISHING*

Why Wont He Give it a Rest?

Jess' POV

I was doing some cleaning when the wrist band on my hand vibrated, meaning someone was at my door. Pretty sick right? The manager was hesitant on giving me the apartment but I guess he felt pity on me and managed to get one of these wristbands that cater to all my apartment needs. If it vibrates, it means someone is ringing the doorbell to my door. I honestly didn't know who it could be. Maddie has the keys to my apartment, and my family doesn't even live around here. Maybe it was the manager?

I decided to open the door when the my hand vibrated again.

To say I was shocked would be an understatement. The stranger was standing in my doorway, looking breathtaking as always in his gray v-neck and black joggers. He was nervously running his hand through his hair but when I opened the door his whole face seemed to light up.

"Hey," he said. I smiled. WHAT ELSE WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO THIS HOT STRANGER WAS LITERALLY FOLLOWING ME AROUND AND TELLING ME I WAS BEAUTIFUL AND GETTING ALL TOUCHY NEAR MY CHIN AND THEN FINALLY FINDING MY APARTMENT NUMBER LIKE HOW THE HECK DID HE DO THAT DOES HE HAVE SOME STALKER MOVES OR SOMETHING?!?

Calm down Jess, calm down.

"I'm Ja*** by the way. We didn't really get to talk earlier.." I couldn't read his lips properly when he mouthed his name. I forgot to mention I wasn't very good at recognising names. You'd think after six years I'd have got the hang of it but nope.

I guess handsome stranger got the confused look on my face because he repeated his name clearly this time. "Jay-den" Oh. His name is Jayden. Because that isn't the sexiest name in the world. Note the sarcasm.

I nodded again while smiling. Honestly I feel like I'm going to have horrible neck pain tomorrow due to the fact that I'm nodding my head off.

Jayden seemed quite disappointed that I wasn't saying anything, and I had no idea how to get out of this situation. But then he did the unexpected. He got angry.

"Damn it why won't you talk to me! Plenty of girls would be dying for this opportunity! What are you mute?" I could tell he was angry because of all the hand movement going on.

Ouch. This guy was an ass. Forget all the soft feelings I was catching for Jayden the asswipe.

I simply nodded my head in a way that says "Yes I am actually, and you're an ass." It was kind of a really happy nod, and then a really good bitch face after. He definitely got the message. I slammed the door, and although I couldn't hear the sound, I'm just assuming he winced because I shut that door pretty dang hard.

I was proud of myself for the way I reacted, I definitely put the guy in his place. But I couldn't help but feel a bit upset. He didn't really know I was mute, I probably would've laughed with him if I wasn't. A lot of people say things like "Are you deaf?" when someone talks to you and you're not listening. It's become a part of conversation nowadays. Most of the time I'm okay with it, but today I bursted, probably because the question was directed to me, and probably because it was true.

I'm not going to lie, I felt hurt. I expected to never see him again, but I ended up having to. And I ended up feeling insulted and hurt in the end.

And my mom wonders why I refuse to talk to boys.

Jayden's POV

She's mute.

Who would've saw that coming.

That's right, not me.

Shit.

I couldn't believe what just happened. I literally just insulted her, without even realising it. I don't know what came over me. I'm not used to being rejected, so when she wasn't talking to me I assumed she was rejecting me. I felt like I was not good enough. Now I feel like a brat for getting mad because I didn't get what I want.

But out of all things I just had to ask her if she was mute? I didn't actually expect her to be mute. The thought never crossed my mind. Maybe she was joking and didn't want to talk to me. Okay I'm really stupid.

Of course she's serious. And the look she gave me was full of hate. She was clearly telling me I was an ass. And I was. I needed to apologise.

But jeez, I was flirting with a girl not even knowing that she couldn't speak. Everything kind of clicks now. I'm assuming she was deaf too, since a lot of the times I called her name while she was turned she didn't notice me. I feel so ignorant.

I'm confused. I was definitely so whipped for this girl. Her big brown eyes are synced into my brain. I still am. I can't get her out of my head, I want her in my arms. She doesn't seem to like me one bit, but it's really hard to tell because she doesn't show any signs of not liking me either. This was going to be hard.

But not impossible.

I wanted her. And when Jayden Sharr wants something, he always gets it. And that's when I realised.

I may not know her name, where she's from, and whether or not she wants me in her life, but I like her, and might even love her.

A/N : Jeezzzz Jayden just made shit go intenseeee... So what do youu guys think of this so far?
