We both have breakfast and Jonah gave me his number. In case I need a good morning or a festive night he said. It's currently 2pm and I need to get some groceries. I also really want to buy pretty lingerie. I always wanted to have a red set, a bralette and a string, and since no one can say to me what I can't do anymore, i'm fucking buying it. But on my way to the underground, there's something I really didn't want to see. It's Archie, with Bella. They're walking on the other side of the pavement. I cringe seeing his arm around her shoulder, her smiling with heart eyes at his grinning face. I practically start to run when I notice I passed the underground. I quickly grab my metro to the city and be far away from the disgraceful sight I just witnessed.
"Yes it's red, lace and OMG Aubree I look like a hooker in this and I'M LIVING FOR IT!" I yell through the phone. I came home from shopping by myself, what I lowkey find terrifying. I hate being on my own, but this time I honestly enjoyed it. I'm currently standing in front of my mirror, looking at my naked body, the red lace set around my hips and boobs. I ended up buying more than I needed, I probably need to throw clothes away otherwise it won't fit. Aubree is happy i'm finally happy, what eventually makes me happy. She updates me about all the drama at work and we talk what feels like for hours. I'm laying on my freshly made bed, looking at my ceiling, laughing as my best friend tells me about Maison asking her on a date. I tried forcing her to go out with him but she denied. She hates all of Reggie's friend and I don't blame her for that. They're all fuckboys with too much money and a massive leak of self respect. I hear my doorbell and my head shoots up. I glance down at the clock on my nightstand and see it's already 7pm. I look around in my room and notice I made a giant mess. Clothes and underwear are spread out in the floor, plastic bags from VS and UO everywhere. I hang up my call with Aubree, saying someone's at my door. When she starts talking about Jonah and I sarcastically laugh at her and turn off my phone. I grab a robe, wrap it tightly around me and walk through my apartment towards my door.
When I glance through my peep hole, I see Jonah with a white plastic bag in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other. I bite my lips and my cheeks immediately flame. This effect is going to be the death of me. As I open my door, his eyes immediately scan my body and it feels like he knows what i'm wearing underneath because a small smirk creeps up at his face.
"Did I interrupt you Rub?" He asks kindly and I repeatedly shake my head no.
"Not at all. What's the matter Jo" I smile, leaning againt my doorway, still keeping my hands tightly gripped on the robe. I see him smile at the fact we shortened our names and I grin.
"I ordered Chinese but it turned out to be too much for just me, and I thought maybe we could have dinner together?" His words are pleasing and a shiver run down my spine.
"Sure, but I really need to take a shower first and change. But you can settle already, I don't mind" I smile and he nods shyly. What a cutie. I step out of the way, letting him in. The same scent I almost fainted for the other day, hits me again and I need to regroup. Did he do that on purpose?
"You smell so good" I whimper to myself but his head shoots back at me. I awkwardly close the door and I press my back against it. He smirks and walks away, placing the food on my table.
"Go shower, the food will get cold" Jonah whispers and the tension between us is higher than ever. I'm even scared to walk past him, the air in my house is thick and the feeling of need and wanting is present. I see him staring at my exposing legs in the corner of his eye and I swallow heavily. Calm down, if he begins, you'll finish it. Proudly and passionate. When I walk behind him to go to my bedroom to shower, he roughly grabs my waist, smashing me against my counter and starts devouring my mouth. I immediately moan, letting it all happen. What a release, gosh i've been carving this since yesterday. He pushes his whole body against mine and my hands find their way to his chest. He suddenly places one hand behind my head, deepening the kiss. First of all I jump slightly at this move. It's such a boyfriend move. He groans when our tongues fight and I feel the sensation burn through my body. He suddenly pulls away, pushing me towards my bedroom and gives my ass a small smack. I let out a scream and we lock eyes for a second when I look behind me.
"GOSH YOU'RE FUCKING ATTRACTIVE" I hear him scream when I walk away and I laugh.
"I DID SAW WHAT YOU WERE WEARING UNDERNEATH THAT ROBE RUBY!" He screams after that and I start to laugh harder. I'm already in my bedroom and scoff at myself when I grab some pajamas. A hot moron, what a lovely man he is. I still can't believe he did that so impulsively but i'm lovely the way he handles things. Just straight to the point and saying and doing what you have to. Something Archie could learn from. He was the most organized person I know besides myself. That's why we maybe didn't work out, we were both too focused on our own ways of life.
"Tell me something I don't know" Jonah smoothly slides next to me on a bar chair and I feel his eyes pierced on my face. My hair is wet and curly, i'm wearing a long-sleeve, tight crop top with sweatpants on. I'm not wearing makeup and my bare feet are cold against my wooden floor. I think of something interesting to say. I feel like Jonah is way more interesting than I am. And for some reason I don't know were i'm basing that on.
"I googled you" Jonah suddenly blurts out and I whiden my eyes.
"You did what?!" I laugh and I hear him chuckle next to me.
"But only your brother popped up, so sadly I have to ask you in person all the things I wanted to google" He smirks and I giggle.
"You don't look like someone who's scared to ask ladies something" I smile widely, taking a sip of my wine.
"I know, i'm just shy around you" He admits and I almost choke.
"Why would you be shy around me, you look like a freaking God! I was literally drooling the first time I saw you!" I spit out and immediately regret it. The smirk on his face is massive and he hops off his chair, only to step closer to mine.
"You drooled over me? Gosh, I think I like you" He whispers the last part and I can't believe he said that. I look into both of his eyes and see he means it. Why do I mean it too when I say I like him?
"We're moving too fast aren't we?" The unsure and shy Jonah is back and I quickly place my hands on both cheeks of him.
"I'm aware of that, but i'm also aware of the fact that whatever is going on here, it's weird, fast, but I like it. You didn't heard me complain when I saw you outside of my door with my favorite food!" I laugh and the dimples in his cheeks are back.
"I really want to know you better Ruby, everything I need to know, I want to know. And I want you to know me, I want to spent a lot of time with you in the next few weeks" He smiles at me and I giggle.
"I never asked if you have a girlfriend" I try not to laugh saying it. His face drops and his expression is hella serious.
"I dooooooooooo........ NOT!" He pranks me and I shriek as he grabs my ass to pull me closer. Our lips are barely touching and for once i'm feeling happy again. Let's go and get to know this dude quickly, I would love to know him from the inside and outside. He also can get to know me from the inside, but that's a story for later...
