How to Love (un-finished)

Chapter 5

Picture is Crawf from last chapter

I think I'm going to try to put a pic of all the guys from last chapter throughout the nexy few chapters.

Crawf in bandanas will seriously be the death of me.

“Dani” Jake whispered in my ear.

“Hmm?” I mumbled, nuzzling into his chest. That’s when I realized I fell asleep on him. Crap.

I got up off of him and looked at the time 10:30pm. “Oh my gosh, why didn’t you wake me up earlier?” I asked.

“I didn’t want to wake you, but I had to pee so…” Jake responded. I pointed to the bathroom and Jake went in.

“While you’re in there, I’m gonna change into pajamas, so don’t come out until I tell you” I said, going to my closet to pick something out. I put on a grey tank top and red plaid pajama shorts. I also put on a pair of black socks that came up to just below my knees.

“You can come out now” I said, plopping down on my bed.

He walked out in just his shorts, no shirt. He had amazing abs. I couldn’t help but stare.

“It’s okay if I stay the night, right?” he asked, sitting down in my bed next to me.

“Yeah, that’s fine” I said trying not to look at below his chest.

“Do you want me to sleep on the couch?” he asked. I didn’t know how to respond. I wanted him to hold me in his arms, but I didn’t want to be with him, I still wasn’t sure if I could trust him.

“You can sleep in my bed if you want” I said, nervously.

He laid down next to me, both of us getting under the covers. I laid down facing him and he put his hand on my hip.

“Goodnight Dani” he said into my hair.

“Goodnight Jakey” I muttered back, giggling quietly. I felt him smirk into my hair. Then, I fell asleep.

I woke up at 9:30, Jake was still asleep, his hand cupping my hip. I slipped out from underneath his arm, trying not to wake him.

I decided to take a shower and then I put on a pair of white skinny jeans and a sunflower crop top. I put on a pair of black combat boots and let my hair down. (To see the outfit go to- http://www.polyvore.com/sunflower/set?id=138476513  )

When I went back into my room, Jake was propped up on his elbow, scrolling through his phone.

“Morning Dani” he said, groggily.

“Morning Jakey” I said sitting on the bed next to him.

“Don’t call me that” he whined.

“Okay, sweetie pie” I said, smirking.

“Never mind, I prefer Jakey” he said “by the way, what time is it?”

“Umm, like 10” I said.

“Okay I’m going back to sleep for 2 more hours” he said, laying his head back down.

“No way, get your butt up. We are going to the mall” I said, trying to pull him up off the bed.

“Fine” he moaned “I’m going to go home and get dressed.”

Jake left and I went downstairs to eat something small. That’s when I saw a box on the counter. I knew it was my phone so I opened it quickly and turned on my new phone. I was so happy. I was practically bouncing around the room.

Jake got back and we told Maddi we were going. Jake drove in my car. We got there around 11.

When we went in, I went to some of my favorite stores. Jake got a new pair of sneakers, and I had about 4 bags full of clothes.

I saw a group of cheerleaders that I knew. They were walking right towards me and Jake. I tensed up, getting nervous about talking to them. Jake wrapped his arm around my waist, pulling me into his side protectively.

“It’s okay Dani” he whispered into my hair. 

The girls walked towards me, checking out Jake without even trying to hide it.

“Well, hello Danielle” A girl named Lena said.

Jake pulled me closer into his side. His thumb was rubbing small circles on my hip.

“So are you guys dating?” another girl named Abby asked, pointing at me and Jake. Wow, that was real subtle, I thought to myself.

“No” we said at the same time.

One of the girls, quite obviously, tugged her shirt down to show more cleavage. Jake didn’t even look in her direction. Lena pushed out her chest and flipped her hair. Jake didn’t care, but they were definitely trying to get him to look. The whole time Jake was looking down at me. I mean at least they were decent enough to see if we were dating first. *note my sarcasm on that last one*

“Well, bye” Lena said, quitting her attempts to get Jake. They all strutted off, swaying their hips, way too obviously. They literally said, like, 10 words and managed to piss me off. I really hope that wasn't what I was like before my parents death. If I were to be like that again, I relly hope somebody smacks smoe sense into me, literally.

“That was awkward” Jake said, smirking down at me. “Let’s go get a pretzel”

We got pretzels and lemonade and just sat and talked for a little while.

We went home around 1:30 and Jake had to go home. His mom asked me to watch Ariana in a few days while she was out at work and Jake was starting school. When I got home, I set up all of my new apps on my phone.

Shorter chapter but oh well... it was a good place to end it.
