Jerika - Ever After [Sequel to Only]

chapter 22

Jake's POV:

I was heading out my room to go downstairs to eat breakfast. I walk out and literally run into Erika on my way out of the room.

Jake: (looks at Erika) Oh my gosh, sorry.
Erika: (looks at Jake) Its fine.
Jake: Sorry I wasn't paying attention.
Erika: Its okay.

I don't know why but I got this awkward vibe. We just awkwardly standing there in silence and looking at eachother for a moment. I think it was about the kiss last night, I mean I don't know about her.. But the kiss was just amazing, at least to me. I guess it was just unexpected. Or maybe she didn't like it, or want it happen.. She then broke the silence.

Erika: Oh... Uh, well I'm gonna go get Jax ready for the day.
Jake: (awkwardly smiles at Erika) Oh, right. Yeah, you go do that. I'll see you around.
Erika: Yeah..

She looks at me and smiles as she walks into Jax's room. I then continue to make my way downstairs to the kitchen as I hold my vlog camera in my hand. I walk downstairs and see Tessa just reaching the last step down the stairs. I call out to her.

Jake: (hurries down to Tessa) Tessa!
Tessa: (looks back at Jake) Oh, hi. Good morning, Jake.
Jake: Morning, Tessa.
Tessa: What's up?
Jake: That's the thing.. I don't know.
Tessa: (looks at Jake a little bit confused) What do you mean?
Jake: I just wanna know how Erika feels.
Tessa: Okay...
Jake: Can you please tell me?
Tessa: Its not my place, you'll have to ask her yourself. Sorry, Jake.
Jake: Oh, okay. Thanks anyway, it's okay.

She looks at me and we both walk into the kitchen. As I walk in, I see Anthony already sitting down, eating breakfast. I sit down beside him and take out my phone, going onto my social media to see what's up.

Anthony: Hey bro.
Jake: Hey, Tony. (looks down at his phone and scrolls)
Anthony: Whats u...
Jake: (interrupts Tony) BRO!
Anthony: What? (looks at Jake)
Jake: Look! (shows Anthony his phone)

Anthony looks down at my screen where I had found all these tags in pictures, videos, and edits of Erika and I. Anthony looks up at Tessa who begins making her breakfast then looks back at me.

Anthony: Your fans ship you guys.
Jake: (looks at Tony and smiles) Yup. They do, they actually support us. I'm actually enjoying it.
Tessa: (walks over to Jake and looks at his phone) Woah, you guys have more fans shipping you two than Anthony and I have.
Anthony: Yeah, bro. You just better hope they don't find out about Jax by Erika's social media.
Jake: I think Erika has her socials on private. She's not use to be public eye yet.. I think. But I really want to tell the Jake Paulers about Jax. I feel so bad keeping it from them.
Tessa: (looks at Jake) Yeah, I think you should tell them. But it's also up to Erika.

Erika's POV:

I came down stairs and took Jax to his playroom for a moment while I went to make breakfast. I walk into the kitchen and Jake and Anthony are vlogging as always. Tessa was sitting there next to Tony. Jake takes on look at me then tells Nathan to point the camera at me.

Jake: ERIKA!!!!
Erika: (looks at him and smiles) What? (begins to make herself some breakfast) And why are you so loud!?
Jake: I'm just happy. Sorry!
