We put out the fire and shoved everything into my car before driving to Jey's house. We both got out and walked up to his door.
"I'll come by the store tomorrow... tomorrow night I have some stuff to take care of though." His fingers losely wrapped around mine.
"Alright." I smiled. My heart felt like it had wings. Jey tucked a lose strand of hair behind my ear.
"You're beautiful." I felt my face grow hot. "I don't want to drag you down...you have so much going for you."
"Jey...you won't drag me down. I know it's hard to get out of what you're into but I'll help you..."
"Wren..." His voice was soft and gentle. He pulled me closer to him and lifted my chin. "I'm helpless." He sounded broken.
"Well I want to try..." I ran my hand through his hair.
Jey leaned down and kissed me again. It was better than the first one. I kissed him back wrapping my arms around his neck. He spoke, his lips brushing mine as he formed each word.
"If you're willing to try and help a burnt out nobody...I'm willing to try to over come it..."
I smiled. "I only work a half day tomorrow so I'll come by and help you start cleaning stuff up. Ok?"
He nodded kissing me softly. "Good night Wren."
"Good night." I watched him disappear into his house before returning to my car and driving myself home.
I made it to my apartment and walked in throwing my keys and wallet on the table by the door.
"How was your date?" Summer was making himself dinner.
"Amazing." I vanished to my room to shower. I was getting ready to get into the shower when my phone rang. I laughed a bit and answered it
"Hey, Jack."
"WHY THE HELL WERE YOU WITH JEY! I CALLED SUMMER BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING!"
I connected the call to my Bluetooth shower speaker and got into the shower.
"He wanted to prove he wasn't as bad as people say."
"And you let him?!"
"Yeah..."
"And?!?!?!"
I laughed and washed my hair.
"He's actually really sweet...well...he wasn't drunk or high on anything so I think that helped..."
"Is he going to call you? How far did you two go? It wasn't a one night stand was it?"
"I'm actually going to his place after work tomorrow. And not that far...he kissed me once...or three times...and no it wasn't a one night stand."
"He kissed you?!"
"Yeah..."
"Is he a good kisser?"
I laughed again washing out the conditioner.
"Yes."
"Well. You two would make a cute couple. To bad he's a drunk and a drugie."
"Yeah...too bad..."
"Oh my god! You so have a crush on him!"
"Do not!"
"Do too! Admit it!!"
"Ok maybe a bit...if he was always like how he was today..."
