Chapter 4: I like you

Erika's POV:

Jake Joseph Paul likes me? WHAT??? I like him too but I can't tell him!! All I did was sink into his arms.. He held me close. We were so close to each other and we just locked eyes.. Am I falling for this guy? No.. I can't.. he has a girlfriend I think? him and Tessa are extra close.. I don't know.. he could just be flirting with me.. I don't think he meant what he said.. I don't trust that he meant that.. I'll just forget about it..

JAKE'S POV:

I meant it 100%.. I wish I could have kissed her.. I just wanted to hold her in my arms forever BUT, unfortunately, my brother had to come and prank me.. I saw how she was looking at me. I've been noticing it for a couple of months now.. every single time she looks at me, she's either smiling or staring.. it's the cutest thing but I really don't think I have a shot. I wonder if she thinks i'm just playing around...

4 WEEKS LATER -

Jake's POV:

It's been another month.. i'm falling for this girl hardcore.. i'm shook.. we really haven't had the time to talk about what happened last month considering I told her that I like her. I think she took it as a joke.. What if I ask her out on a "date" but like not really a date? I don't even know what i'm saying.. ugh.. there she is.. I hear her downstairs.. I'm walking downstairs slowly so I could see her being herself without me being around...

Jake: Good morning, beautiful *smirks*

Erika's POV:

There's my boy.. ah he looks so cute.. I just want to kiss him but I can't.. I can only hope.

Erika: Morning, handsome *laughs*

Jake: Am I like allowed to hug you?

Erika: Um I guess? *laughs* why wouldn't you?

Jake: I don't know.. sorry, I just get nervous around you..

Erika's POV:

He just said he's nervous around me.. what the hell is going on? Was he serious last month when he said that he liked me?

Jake's POV:

I have no clue why I asked if I could hug her. That's probably gonna make the hug awkward.. I love this girl so much.

Erika's POV:

Our hug lasted extra long because I didn't want to let go. I love being in his arms.

Jake's POV:

She held on to me so tight. I pulled away because I thought it was going to be awkward but she took one look at me and pulled me in closer..

Jake: That was unexpected..

Erika: *nervously laughs* i'm sorry...

Jake: No worries *smiles*

Tessa walks in

Tessa: hey guys.. wrong time?

Jake: Uh no, I was just about to leave..

Erika: yup.. nothing is going on here.

Tessa: Okay, sure..?

Tessa's POV:

Well, that was weird..

Erika: well, i'm heading to the gym

Tessa: okay can I g-

Erika: Bye!
