Catch My Love

Chapter 25

*Scarlett pov*

It took me a couple of seconds to reply to Jared at the other side of the line

"Oh hey Jared um yeah i guess i dont have anything to do today" I reply to his previous question about hanging out later

"Alright good. Um I can pick you up in 20 minutes?" He asks. I would've prefered to hang out here instead of going out but it would be more awkward to be in my room or the living room not doing much so i guess its better to be in a public space to make it less awkward for both of us

"Yeah okay"

"See you then" He says and hangs up. He sound weird on the phone, well maybe because its the first time he call me on the phone but still it was like a different person

Now i have to decide what to wear. Its not cold outside so a sweater wont be needed. After getting changed i walk to the bathroom and apply some foundation to look more descent. I decide to wear my white convers. I dont have idea where we are going but we are just going to hang out so its nothing fancy. Hazel wont believe what just happened andmi cant wait to see her face when i tell her. She will be as surprised as me for Jared new attitude but whatever its not that im going to be best friends with him after tonight.

My phone starts ringing and its Jared again. Perhaps he is already downstairs so instead of picking up i walk out the flat closing the door behind me. I look around the street and try to guess which car might be his, a car starts to approach where im standing and the windows are rolled down to see Jared driving it. He smiles at me and unlock the doors, I walk around the car and sit in the passenger seat.

"Seems like you have your car back" I tell him. The car is black, not the colour that suits Beverly. Her car is a white mini cooper but he has a black volkswagen, I like this one better

"Yeah she finally gave it back. Her car is already fixed" He says and i stay silent for the rest of the ride. I still have no idea where we are going so i decide to ask

"Um where are we going?" I ask him and he turns his head to me as if i had interrupt his thoughts

"I was thinking of going to the pier you know so we can eat something or walk around the beach, i dont know whatever you want is fine" He says slowly. It seems like he is trying really hard to act nice around me. I dont expect for him to change overnight but its weird to see him all quiet.

"Eating somethings sounds good" I say and he rapidly nods. I chuckle and he turns his head to face me

"Whats so funny?" He acts kinda frustrated

"Its not funny but its surprising to see how you keep yourself quiet when you are around me now like you are trying hard to not say something rude"

"Being honest its not easy at all to not act like a dick, and no im not being quiet to not throw a rude comment at you its just that i dont know what kind of conversation to have with you" He says now turning back to see the road so he can park the car now that we have arrived

"You can talk to me about everything i mean unless its something of your man weird things that im glad im not aware of, i rephrase what i said yesterday 'You dont know me'"

"Okay so Scarlett tell me whats your favourite food now that we have arrive" He asks ironically getting out of the car

"I like pizza or pasta, either is fine. What about you?" I ask him back so the conversation doesnt end so soon

"I love pizza. Heres some place we can eat pizza" We start walking down the pier passing through shops and restaurants until i spot a pizza restaurant
