Chapter 17
HaleyI had my game face on and my trusty Jeremy (A.K.A Sasha) navigator next to me. Dressed to the nines in my Color Block Aztec Romper whatever you want to call it, it was about to go down (yes!... I thought of Kevin Hart in this very moment). Spritzed myself with my fave Victoria Secrets perfume pure seduction, god I just love the smell of this. Okay, moving on...we primped and slayed with the makeup today. (Insert pics) If I'm going to get what mines I have to, 1) show him I'm serious and 2) Look great while doing it, of course my continuing motivation being funded from Sasha completely. That's what friends for, am I right? *smiles cheekily* 20 minutes later and we were ready to get this show on the road. As we're on the elevator going down Sasha's phone dings. A second later and we know Jeremy is hanging out at Jim's house with his family and some girl. There's no way he moved on that quick unless he was lying to me. I do have a habit of attracting those kinds of men. However, that doesn't matter because he's mine and if that tramp think she's getting him without a fight, she has another thing coming.
When we enter Jim's House the smell of philly cheesesteaks immediately assaults my nose and I am floating on the clouds of heaven. I almost forget why I came here in the first place, my gums are practically salivating over here. I HAVE to order something before I stake my claim. Grabbing Sasha's we walk up to the front booth to order 3 philly cheesesteaks. Two for me and one for Sasha along with some cajun fries and Cherry Coca-Cola. I know, I know, I know I am getting sidetracked but it is totally worth it. These fries are just to die for it absolutely blows my mind I just don't know who I am anymore after eating these. Like how have I never heard of this place...the crunch of the fries, the juicy juiciness of the steak, Hoh my gosh this shit freaking good. In the middle of me practically moaning and drooling over my cheesesteak fries I catch sight of Jeremy and his family sitting in a corner booth next to the bathroom. *Come on guys WE all know what happens next. Feel the moment with me and embrace it.* As Soon as I catch sight Jeremy we make eye contact at the same time. I wave meekly to him from across the room while he stares intensely at him. I can see his grey eyes getting darker but I'm not to sure if it's because he's mad at me or he's really excited to see me. I start blush furiously as I think of all the things he deep grey eyes could possibly mean. It reminds me of the makeout session we had last night and I start to blush even harder. I nudge Sasha whose in my peripheral to alert her that we have found the target. After chewing the rest of my food I lick my lips clean and prepare myself to walk over to Jeremy. Even as I turn to talk Sasha I can feel Jeremy's eyes following my every move. Once I have gathered enough courage, I turn around ready to get up and talk to Jeremy but it seems he has beat me to it.
"Hi", I whispered breathily to Jeremy.
"Hey", he replies. "Where did you go this morning when you just ran off without telling me?"
I wince at the reminder of leaving him so callously. "I'm sorry. I didn't know how to react okay. I was scared. This very cliche thing was happening to me where you start to really like the person you're supposed to hate and instead I really cared for him and loved all the arguments we had because I suddenly found them fun. It was barely 24 hours ago I saw you and had somewhat of a dislike towards and here I am now starting to gain feelings for you. In the span of a night you were becoming everything I wanted in a guy and that was scary. It freaked me out."He stared deeply into my eyes searching for something. I'm not sure of what he was looking for but I do know for a split second it was just the two of us in the moment and no one else existed. No one else could ruin this moment and until someone else did.
"Um...Hi! I'm Madeline. You know...Jeremys' "friend"." I heard the implication loud and clear. Brunette, Prissy, and so not better than me. To be honest I'm not really sure what it is that Jeremy saw in her. I wouldn't let this tramp ruin the moment for me. I may have been hesitant in the past but I'm definitely not now especially since desperation is a hard stain to get rid of.
"Interesting...well then that means you know that me and Jeremy lately have been discussing the next step of our relationship. We definitely want to make it official and public but you know ;) WE would rather do it in a more private setting. So if you would excuse us please. Tootles" As I responded, my body sidled up into Jeremy's side and interlocked my arm with his. It felt good to be by his side again even though its only been a few hours. Amusement, confusion, resentment and hope rolled off Jeremy's body throughout my spiel and then a decision was made to take it up a notch.
"Once we're finished talking I'll be there to greet my soon-to-be family"
Madeline narrowed her eyes while she swallowed my response. Code deciphered: I'm not going anywhere bxtch. Xoxo.
Enjoy the chapter.
