SHE

Eight

The lessons seemed to be taking forever, there were many things I wanted to buy, many things to do.

During lunch Molly and I went out, there was this amazing shoe we've been meaning to buy for a long time.

They were the first ones to buy, but before we could continue on our shopping I got a call from Leo's school asking me to pick him up.

Where was his mother, I WONDER .

His teacher said both dad and Kate's phones were unreachable, it's not like Kate to forget about Leo like this.

I left Molly at the shop as I rushed to pick him up.
He was as happy as I was to see him, I've missed him, the house's empty now without him running around and disturbing my peaceful sleep.

We went shopping together though he bought a lot of stuff than I did, I dropped him at Kate's as I went to see Jesse.

I've been thinking about Jay since last night, I wondered if he was okay, what's eating him to have caused trouble.

I knocked at the door and Jay opened, I was kind of relieved to see him okay.

"Amy!", he said in surprise, "What I owe the surprise, or you are here to see Jesse?". he asked, before I could answer another hand opened the door wide.

"Hello, I was just about to call you", said Jesse as he walked towards me and kissed me, "Why are you just standing there, please come in".

He said as he took my hand and walked with me inside, "Jay seriously", he said to his brother as we walked passed him.

they seem to be in good books, somehow that made me happy.

"Can I get you anything?", he asked.

"Nah, I'm okay. I came to get you, I'm taking you out".i said with smile on my face.

He looked at me. "You are falling too deep", I smiled looking away.

the only person I see who's falling too deep is him, not me.

I just love his company that's it.

(Or is it).

"There's this Chinese restaurant my mom used to take me, let's go there tonight", I told him.

"Okay", I said my goodbyes to Jay as we left.

I've never been in this restaurant ever since mom died, everything kind of reminded me of her, but being there with Jesse, it kind of felt warm, sweat, I didn't miss my mom at all, it kind of felt like the real date, our first real date.

Hope I haven't fallen for him.

"I haven't eaten like this in ages", I commented as we sat on the car watching the sun set.

"Today it kind of feels like I'm seeing the real you, the real Amy",
that kind of hurt.

"You mean I've be pretending all this time?", I asked looking at him.
he just smiled and kissed me.

"You look happy",

happy I don't know, I might be happy on the outside but on the inside my lungs are narrowing, guilt is suffocating me inside, so I don't know about happy.

"I don't care what people say about you, you are a nice person, if only they can take the time to get to know you". He continued.

Okay you are suffocating me man.

"I love you Amy".

Okay time to put a stop to this.

"I love you too Jesse",
For the first time I actually meant it.
"But", he slightly moved back.
