Crush (Jonah Marais)

Chapter 5

Today is Monday. My peaceful, Jonah free weekend if over. It's now time to 'face the music'.

I got up at around 7 am and got ready for school. I wasn't feeling it this morning so I was just wearing sweatpants and an oversized tshirt, so basically pyjamas.

I was on my way to school when I saw Nicole across the street. I shouted her name and she ran across to me,

"Hey Sophie, how are you?"

"Hey, um..."

"Somethings wrong, what is it?" She said while folding her arms,

"It's Jonah."

"Jonah?" She looked confused.

"Yes, Jonah" I sighed, "he kissed me."

"WHAT?" She yelled

"Yes, please keep quiet, I'm not happy about it right now" I frowned,

"What, why?"

"So, basically..." I told her the story about James and we both started tearing up,

"Sophie, you do know Jonah isn't the type of guy to break your heart, he's kind and caring, you need to talk to him and explain everything, he's very understanding. In fact before you came, he was the one and only person I would ever ask for help and advice." She said with a smile,

"Are you sure?"

She nodded. We made it to school and went our separate ways to first period.

I entered History to see Jonah sat waiting for me (I sit next to him). As soon as I walked into the room he started staring at me. I was confused on whether it was a death stare or a 'wow you're hot' kinda stare, I just turned the other way. I took my seat, on my own at the back of the room, just as the lesson began.

The bell finally rang for the beginning of lunch. I was walking out of class, heading for the lunch hall, when someone grabbed my wrist. I guessed it was Jonah, I turned to face them and it was him. He pulled me into an empty classroom and opened his mouth to speak but I beat him to it,

"Jonah I need to explain something to you" I said looking at him, "it's about my past, the thing you really need to know if you are ever to understand me"

"Okay, go on then." He looked slightly concerned. I told him the whole story about James and I saw a tear roll down his cheek. He looked at me and said,

"Sophie, I'm so sorry. I wish I knew soon so I could've helped you"

"No, Jonah it's fine, I'm fine"

"But you're not"

"Yes, I am. Listen-"

"No, Sophie YOU listen" He said interrupting me, "I know now everything I need to know about you and I really want you to be mine but I understand that you need some time, Sophie take as much time as you need, ok?" He said while placing his hand on my shoulder,

"Okay Jonah but you do know, I love you too" (reference to the text before from Jonah btw). He just smiled and kissed my cheek.

School was finally over. Today was such a drag. I couldn't wait to get to my bed. As I was leaving school Nichole came up to me and asked how telling Jonah went and I told her it went well. She said she was getting a lift home and so had to leave. I hugged her before she left and said goodbye.

I was at my front door trying to find the key when my phone pinged, I pulled it out and saw a message from Jonah,

J-Hey, Sophie. I'm on my way to yours to pick you up and take you out, be ready❤

Y-Okay, I will!

I put my phone away and opened the door to get ready. I just changed my sweatpants for jeans and re did my hair.

Knock knock

I answered the door and saw jonah stood there, looking extremely handsome. I smiled and we got in his car. We sat there in silence until I asked, "Where are we going?"

"To my favourite place"

"And where's that?"

"I can't say"

We continued driving until we got to Starbucks. I laughed as we pulled up and we got out of the car. He walked around to me and held his arm out. I took it and we entered the building. He went to order while I sat at the table waiting. When he finally came back with the drinks he sat down and said,

"Sophie, please tell me how you are feeling right now, I want to know"

"I'm feeling unsure on whether I should trust you with my heart. I don't have trust issues but I'm just scared of my heart breaking again" I said while looking down, he lifted my chin slowly and said,

"Sophie don't look down, I love you and you know that, you can always speak to me. Trust me I would wait a lifetime if I needed to, just to hear your answer." He gently smiled, placing his hand back on the table. At this moment I knew I could trust him and I wanted to tell him but I was scared to.
