you decide if it's real

Chapter 9: Spill the beans

Jake: why didn't you tell me?

Erika: I-I don't know.. I was scared..

Jake: I get it but.. I thought something else was up..

Erika: What do you mean?

Jake: *looks away* uh n-nothing..

Erika: you're lying..

Jake: um.. I'm going to talk to Anthony..

Erika grabs Jake's hand

Erika: please tell me..

Jake: *whispers* I love you

Jake then walks away

' DOWNSTAIRS '

Toner: Yooooo! Don't be mad, let me explain!!

Jake: EXPLAIN WHAT? *lowers voice* the fact that you raped Erika?

Toner: Yes bro, it's a misunderstanding

Jake: Get the hell out..

Toner: Jake!

Jake: GET THE HELL OUT

Erika's POV:

I hear Jake yelling at Anthony from upstairs even after he lowered his voice. I don't know why he's so angry, hell, I don't know why he cares or even loves me.. *sighs*

Jake: I'M SICK OF THIS.

Jake goes upstairs to get his keys but forgets Erika is there.

Erika's POV:

I heard Jake coming up the stairs so I decided to hide so I wouldn't get in his way. He starts talking to himself while looking for his keys.

Jake: I leave for a little bit and then I come home to this shit. He's my best friend and he knows that I like Erika! What is wrong with him? What is wrong with ME? She'll never love me back anyway, I've told her multiple times that I love her and I always get no response.. She's thinking of starting YouTube so at least I have some sort of chance but I don't think it'll go anywhere. Why the hell am I talking to myself?

Jake's POV:

At this point, I didn't care about anything.. I just wanted to go away. Erika means so much to me but she probably doesn't realize how much I'm actually falling for her.. I start getting pissed off, so I start to throw things everywhere... until I hear movement.. I turn around and see Erika in shock.. she's never seen this part of me before.. I couldn't contain myself..

Jake: How much did you hear and see?

Erika: e-everything..

Jake: shit..um I'm sorry you had to see that and .. hear that..

Erika: I'll just be going now..

Jake: please..

Erika: what?

Jake: stay..

Erika: why?

Jake: If you care about me.. stay

Erika: *pretends to walk out*

Jake: wow..

Jake walks to his balcony and starts climbing over

Erika: what the hell are you doing?

Jake quickly goes back into the room

Jake: I thought you didn't care about me?

Erika: Of course I do.. *smiles*

Jake goes to his bed and goes under the covers and Erika follows

Erika's POV:

I don't know why, but, I followed him to his bed. I've never really been the one to do this but I leaned in from behind and just hugged him. He was kinda shocked that I was in the bed with him.. but I'm in love with him, I just don't show it. At this point, our bodies were very close together. Jake turned around to face me. He stared into my eyes and leaned in. He didn't kiss me, he just stood there.. so, I leaned in and kissed him. This kiss was different.. I've kissed other guys in the past but the connection we have is different than any guy I've dated and or kissed.

Jake's POV:

I was feeling some type of way. She was hugging me from behind and I felt her on me. I turned to face her to look at her beautiful eyes. They're seriously gorgeous. I didn't say anything. Her beauty took over me. I leaned in and I was really thinking about kissing her.. but I didn't and I couldn't.. I didn't want to screw up my chances with her again.. until she leaned in and kissed me. I obviously kissed back but it was really unexpected.. She pulled back and looked at my eyes. She leaned in again for another kiss that turned into a makeout.. this time I pulled away and..

Jake: spill the beans

Erika: what do you mean?

Jake: what are we and what can we be?

Erika: I mean we're "married" *laughs*

Jake: I'm serious *nervously laughs*

Erika: I-I love you

Jake: I love you too, Erika. I need you to know that.
