Finding Love Series: My Love (April's Story Book 1) #TheWattys2017

Going Wrong Then Right? (Chapter.5)

After doing work all day that I was not in the mood for I left to go home. Around 6 I would say I could feel my stomach growling so on the way home I stopped at Domino's and got my customized bread bowl. My usual Alfredo sauce, sausage, pineapple, chicken, and black olives. I felt a little crazy so I also bought me a thing of cheesy bread and a large Barq's Root Beer. On the way home the amazing smell of my bread bowl and cheesy bread filled my whole car. It made my stomach rumble even more ugh I was straight up starving like so hungry my stomach hurts hungry by the time I got home.

When I pulled in to my driveway I saw a familiar car parked there. No it was not mine I only own one car and that's my 2015 Ford Mustang GT that is emerald green that I was currently driving. The car that was in my driveway was a jeep a gray jeep. It was Wes' jeep so apparently Wes was at my apartment. I grabbed my bread bowl,cheesy bread, root beer, phone and purse and headed towards the door I barely walked by the driver's side door of Wes' jeep when I heard it open.

"Hey sis! What's up!?" I heard Wes say in a peppy voice.

"Uh not much just going in to my apartment after a long boring day."

"Oh well here let me unlock your door for you" he said while taking my keys from me.

When I got in to the house I automatically put my food in the microwave. I was going to see what he wanted then eat because my stomach felt like it was eating itself.

"I grabbed some McDonald's on my way here you don't mind if I eat do you? I brought you a strawberry milkshake."

"No eat and thanks put it in the freezer if it's really melted if not the fridge will be fine. I'm eating to I got some Domino's on my way home."

"Okay sounds good so what did you get from Domino's anything good? "he said trying to steer away from  the reason he was actually here that he could tell I wanted to know.

"I got a custom bread bowl, cheesy bread, and a root beer that I will not be sharing with you." I said all assertive like.

"Okay jeez long day or something April?" He said like he was offended or something.

"I do not want to talk about my day it wasn't bad it was just boring I said while putting a fork full of my pasta from my bread bowl in my mouth. So why are you here anyway? Do you have something you want to tell me or something?"

"What I can't visit my only sister? Okay fine yes I do have something I want to tell you!" He said while biting one of his fries.

"Well what is it? Come on Wes out with it I do not have all day to wait." I said with an annoyed tone I hated when he did that when he's excited he dances around the reasoning.

"I'm setting you up on a date! He is a friend of mine and his name is Mark Bridges. He is a co founder of a big gasoline company. I think you would adore him. You are going out tomorrow at 6 be ready he's picking you up."

After being silent and then gulping some root beer to try to feel better. It did not work I felt rage and hurt. I broke the silence and said "What you don't think I can get a date on my own? That I need you to set me up? I am capable of getting a guy all on my own Wes thanks a lot." I said extremely aggressively.

"What? No April that's not what I meant at all. I know you can get a date you are beautiful with a great personality but you work a lot and you are picky so I thought I'd help. That's all it came from a good place I'm not trying to piss you off or hurt your feelings at all. I'm sorry if I did I truly am."

"Whatever I feel like you did. You might not think I can't  get a guy but you do not like the one's I pick out. So don't think you are going to set me up so the guy I date will be up to your standards. I'm not dumb I know that's what you are doing and I do not appreciate it at all!" I couldn't understand  why I was getting so defensive but I was.

"No you know what April? Every time I try to do something nice for you you take it as negative as possible and I'm sick of it. I wasn't being an ass hole or trying to pick someone out for you because I don't like your type. Mark is a friend of mine that I thought you would be interested in so I set it up that's it. You know that's why you're single because you won't let anyone doing something nice for you. Or give you a compliment but most of all love you. If you don't change your fucking ways then you will stay alone. You need some help April seriously."

"Are you fucking kidding me? I don't understand why you're being such a dick I do not appreciate it. You know what I don't even want to deal with you. Don't talk to me and get the fuck out of my apartment now! By the way I'm not going on some fucking blind date with your most likely nerdy fugly friend either." I said so pissed off.

"FINE" Wes yelled then took his Mcdonald's and stormed out of my front door he slammed it so hard I felt the floor vibrate from it.

After the door closed I broke down in tears. I hate fighting with my brother he's the only one I got and I usually adore him. But what he said truly hurt me and there was no going back from those words.

I took off from both jobs for the rest of the week. I just laid around, cried, felt bad for myself, and watched movies all day without getting out of my pajamas. Then Friday evening came...

I was watching the original Friday The 13th very inventively when my door started being knocked on. I  paused the movie then got up with my dark green snuggie on and headed for the door. When I opened it there I saw Josie standing there with a skin tight extremely short and low cut yellow dress on with black wedges. Her hair was curled and she was wearing red lipstick. She looked slutty but beautiful all at the same time.

"Are you ready?!" she said crazy excited.

"No Josie I'm not going to the club I do not want to."

"Are you sure? You've got to get out! Come on you can't stay in here forever!"

"I can and I will and I'm not going to the club goodbye! Get out Josie!" I said aggressively.

So then she left. I then laid back down on the sofa and watched some TV.

A few hours later the door bell rang. I got up still under my snuggie and opened the door.  There standing is what just I needed. Leo Storm was at my door looking at me with his dark blue eyes.

"Leo?! What are you doing here? How do you know where I live?" I said extremely curious.

Instead of answering he just wrapped his arms around me and my face was buried in his shoulder. Then I started to cry again. He then hugged me even tighter. Leo came in and sat down on the sofa and just cuddled me as tight as possible. We stayed like that all cuddled together for the rest of the night. 

Leo was the one thing that made me feel better and I was extremely happy I didn't go to the club tonight. I would've missed out on Leo then and that would be horrible. I barely know him but I adore him more and more every time I look at him. My feelings towards Leo truly 100% scare me. But I never want them to stop!
