Dating one of my brothers friend // jonah marais

Chapter 4

As much as I wanted to leave that house and be away from him I couldn't. I didn't have a ride and Madison was being the worst friend ever. I'd put my excitement aside yesterday so she could spend time with Daniel and now she doesn't want to leave. Which left me to ask Jonah to take me to Logan's apartment. I had plan to stay there today but then he offered to show me around and I really wanted to look around the city. The first hour of looking around with him was pretty quiet and I was starting to think this was a bad idea.

We were now at a mall outlet when I saw a bookstore. I was looking around for no particular book while he trailed behind me like a lost dog. A group of girls suddenly ran up to us, more like him but I was close to us, asking for pictures and hugging him. I wouldn't be bothered expect they were pushing like I wasn't standing there. This is shat I always hated about fans. They have no idea of what privacy or personal space is. But I should've known better, he's famous. We'd gone by a few hours without being noticed and I got comfortable. They all pushed me out the way so I just left to go cash the books I was holding. Was I mad? yes I was he didn't even helped me. He forgot all about me. I went roaming stores buying more things than I needed, ignoring the constant buzzing in my back pocket. It was hours later that I exit the last store now ready to head home when I realized I had no idea how to. With the bags weighing me down I went on a search hoping the boy didn't leave me. I went to call him but my phone conveniently had died.

After about thirty more minutes of walking, my ankles now sore I spot him sitting close to the bookstore. Upon seeing me he quickly rush towards me, helping with some of the bags. "I've been calling you. Do you know how worried I was? I don't know what I would've told your brother. I almost called the cops." He kept rambling on and I just stare at him feeling guilty. He did look worried.

"My phone is dead. Can we just go home?" I could tell my words angered him. I probably should've apologize for the worry but I didn't. Instead I began walking to the car. The entire car ride was silent even when he pulled up to Logan's apartment and I gather my bags and mutter a thanks he didn't say a word.

I spent the rest of my even feeling like the shittiest person ever. Maybe I was. I was tempted to text him but my stubbornness stopped me. I haven't been here a week yet and I'm already starting trouble.

I jerk awake grabbing for my phone that kept buzzing throughout my nap. I bring it to my face regretting that decision instantly. I sit up straight seeing the name pop up as a new message came in. It was Jonah.

Hey it's Jonah are you busy?

That was the first message an hour ago not long after he dropped me off.

I know you might be mad with me right now but I'd really like to talk you.

Fine I guess I'll just say this over text then.

I know we don't know each other, we literally met two days ago and I've made some risky decisions since then.

I suck at showing that I like you. And I guess that's what I've been trying to show you?

Sorry about today. You seemed exited to explore LA and I wanted to do that with you but I kind of messed.

I didn't mean to ignore you at the bookstore. I was just swarmed by those girls and by the time I looked up you were gone.

I know I'm blowing up your phone right now. I'm sorry. I guess in conclusion I'm really sorry and I really like you. <3 :)

I snort reading that last message. In conclusion, who even text like that. I find myself smiling regardless. All of these messages were sent while I was a sleep within the hour. He probably think I'm so mad I'm ignoring him. Honestly I'm not even mad anymore.

I'm not mad.

I send that first message. Quickly typing up another.

At least not anymore. I'm sorry for running off and leaving you worried.

I can't ignore him liking me that's too obvious. But I don't know what to say though. He's attractive. Very. But am I ready for a relationship? One that would have me in the spotlight. Not to mention how Logan would feel about this.

I'm looking forward to knowing you better Jonah. :)

Was the smiley face too much? Too late now because he's typing.

Glad you're not mad anymore. I was starting to think I scared you away.

I spent the next few hours texting him some time after we ended up on a call.
