R U M E R

                                  2 hours later

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate, I hate you and if I haven't said it enough times, I hate you" I yell towards Nany while unpacking boxes.

"You've made it abundantly clear, how much you detest me at the moment." Nany mumbles.

I obviously didn't hate Nany, I just strongly disliked her need to help others sometimes. Especially annoying people who love nothing more but to get under my skin.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear...

Walking out of the bedroom, Jacob decides to come and stand incredibly close to me...for what reason I don't know.

With a sigh I turn my attention to him, "so can I like leave now? I'm sure you have other people who can help you move in."

People who actually like you.

"Had enough of me already?" He asks sheepishly.

"Yes. Yes I have." My mother always told me I could be too blunt at times.

Not interested in staying any longer, I placed the remainder of his books on the shelf I was organizing. Pushing past him, I headed towards the door.

"Hey wait!" Jacob rushed out quickly. He then grabbed my wrist and pulled me towards his bedroom.  Pushing me in, he quickly closed the door behind him. 

"First never touch me and second don't touch me." I say through gritted teeth. Releasing the strong grip he had on my wrist, I immediately lunge for the door.

"Hey I just want to talk." he says while raising his hands up in a defensive matter.

Suddenly curious as to what he could possibly have to say, I made my way towards the edge of his bed, cautiously taking a seat.

"What could we possibly have to talk about?" I say crossing my arms.

Rubbing the back of his neck nervously, he lets out a sigh, "I guess I wanted to just apologize for my behavior the other day."

Raising an eyebrow at him, I gestured with my hands for him to continue. "I mean I think your beautiful and the fact that you weren't afraid to tell me off is incredibly intriguing to me." he rambles.

Well...I wasn't expecting that...

Did he just call me beautiful?

"Did you just call me beautiful?"

Avoiding eye contact, he shyly kept his gaze to the ground, "I-I mean yes I guess I did."

Who is this guy right now? The Jacob from the other day was just oozing with confidence and today he's just a nervous wreck.

"Wanna know what I think," I say while standing up from the bed and moving towards the door he was currently leaning on, "I think that's really nice of you to say"

His fascination with the floor finally came to an end. Meeting my eyes he gives me a small smile.

It was kind of nice.

I slowly found myself returning the act.

This is the Jacob I could get along with.

"I accept your apology but if I'm being completely honest," I pause for a second. "I was the one acting like a psycho and although I accept your apology, it is completely unnecessary." I finish.

There was a brief silence between the two of us. "So." I say a little too loudly. "I think it's best that I go." Pointing to the door, Jacob slowly removes himself from the door.

I took my time and slowly started the corridor, making my way towards the front of his apartment.

"Um, I'll see you later," I say while moving a strand of hair behind my ear.

Nodding silently, he gave me a smarmy smile to which I quickly returned before slipping out and making my way back to my apartment.

Opening and closing my door, I leaned my head against my apartment wall.

What just happened?
