Across From You (Jerika)

Chapter 9

Max- you're dating blondie

Erika- yea

Max- omg Rik, I'm so happy for you, but Charlie isn't gonna be happy about this and you know it. Your ex jumped you here at work for talking to a dude and you ended up scared and hurt Rik. Please before telling Charlie make sure Jake isn't gonna hurt you because Charlie will murder him.

Rik- I know Max, that's why I told you first. And honestly Jake is really different. He legit visited me for the two weeks I was out and made sure I was okay and safe. He treats me like I'm royalty. i like the guy, Max. He isn't like any other guy. He cares for me. He is the guy of my dreams.

Max- awe babes, I love that you found someone who makes you this happy, but please be careful when you tell Charlie. He is not gonna like it. But come here. (Hugs her tight) I told you blondie was cute.

Erika- haha omg Max. Speaking of my blondie, Jake's going to pick me up soon. So, let's finish cleaning.

Erika's POV- I was sweeping the bar floor just about done when a handsome blondie walked in holding flowers. Gosh, my heart was filled.

Jake- beautiful flowers for a beautiful a girl (Smiled)

Erika- omg you are so cute. Max look

Max- oof girl what a keeper(winked)

Erika- thank you jake for the flowers (kisses him) I love them.

Jake- no problem, you ready to go?

Erika- yea let me just close up. Max I'm closing up, so you can leave already, I'll lock up.

Max- alright babes. Bye blondie

Jake-(chuckles) bye Max

Erika- okay let's get out of here. I wanna cuddle

Jake- piggyback ride?

Erika- yes please

Jake- hop on. To the apartment we go

Erika giggled and jumped on his back while holding the flowers, they walked across the street to Erika's apartment and got in bed together cuddling the night away.

Jake- night beautiful (kisses her cheek and wraps his arms tighter around her)

Erika- night bby (she said groggy while yawning and smiling)
