SHOW ME {H.S}

Chapter 7

Emily's P.O.V

"You better tell me why you were home late!", I quickly sit up in my bed as Jess walks in with a tray filled with pancakes, juice, and coffee

"Good morning to you as well", I say as I yawn, slightly annoyed by her sticking her nose in things

She sits down on my bed and makes herself comfortable under my second duvet, looking over at me for details.

"I didn't have sex", I say groggy as I start to fold a pancake

"Damn it", she says as she takes a bite

"Tell me anyway", she continues and look at me, curious

"He called me when I was at work, he asked me to eat frozen yoghurt with him when my shift ended. I agreed, and we did. He then asked me if I want to go back to his place to watch a movie.."

"Wait, like 'Netflix and chill' or an actual movie?", she interrupts with her mouth full of pancakes

"An actual movie", I chuckle a little at her question, the exact same question I asked when he said it. She nods understanding.

"He lives in this big penthouse apartment.. It's amazing!", I say and recall the images from the night before. Tiny butterflies appear in the pit of my stomach, and I smile a little, it wss a good night.

"He wanted me to see 'The Notebook', but I fell asleep. Then I woke up to him nuzzling my feet, and he drove me home", I say and finish my pancake

"That shit is sweeter than my pancakes", Jess says and takes a sip of her coffee

"How was your date with Alex?", I ask to remove focus from me

"It was good. We went to ta semi-fancy restaurant and then to the movies. He took me home and we had sex", she says without even looking at me

"And?", I ask to search for something more, she finally looks up at me

"He's amazing. I really like him", she smiles nervously, and I feel happy for her, she deserve all the love

"I'm so happy for you, Jess!", I say as my hand lands on her shoulder and I shake it a bit

"Yeah, whatever. I'm afraid I'll fuck it up", she says and the air suddenly turns serious

"Why?", I ask concerned

"I'm a bit forward when I speek.."

"You don't say", I interrupt and she glares at me. I mouth a 'Sorry', and she continues

"I'm afraid he might get scared and run"

"Jess, love. I love you with all of my heart. You're very straight forward, but that's one of the million reasons why to love you! Don't back out because you're afraid", I say and she smiles gently at me

"Girl, you're so deep I can't see you anymore", she giggles, and I shake my head at her silliness

"Is Harry boyfriend material?", she asks and I look down at my fingers as they roll a pancake.. that's suddenly very interesting

"I don't know, one step at the time. I'm still afraid he's like Jacob", I say as I continue to look at my pancake

"Or worse, like Ethan", I start to shake, and my stomach turns into a knot

"He's not like Ethan", Jess soothes and pats my back

"Em, he's not like Ethan. I swear", she says again and hugs me tightly, my small body still shaking from the thought
