How to Love (un-finished)

Chapter 9

The picture is the yummy delicious pancakes that will be made in this chapter. These were my favorite thing when I was a kid. 

I woke up at 6 to the sound of my alarm. I got up and took a shower. When I got out I decided to wear a black leather jacket since it was a little cold out. I put on a pair of grey skinny jeans and black combat boots. I curled my hair messily and tied a black bandana around my head. I put on some makeup and left. 

When I got to Jake’s house, Stacy was about to walk out the door.

“Hey sweetie have a good day” she called to me.

“You too” I said back and went inside.

When I walked in I felt as if something was off.

“Ari” I called out. No response.

Just as I was about to call for Jake, he jumped out and screamed. Out of natural habit I smacked him in the face. After I realized what I did, I burst out laughing.

“What’s so funny” Jake whined, clutching his cheek.

“Karma’s a bitch” I snickered.

“That really hurt” he moaned, massaging his cheek.

“Suck it up cupcake” I giggled. I was trying to be badass but it was so hard to not fall on the floor laughing my ass off. At that point I broke and fell to the ground laughing hysterically. Jake was still on his feet but he was clutching his sides and laughing. My sides ached from laughing so hard and my eyes were beginning to water.

“Are. You. Okay?” Jake asked, slowly, calming his breathing in between each word.

“Mmhhmm” I said looking up at him from my position on the ground.

“c’mon” he said extending my hand to help me up. I grabbed his hand and hopped up. 

“So where is Ari?” I asked, looking around curiously.

“Asleep, but probably not anymore after the noise we were making” he said, rolling his eyes.

I checked her room quietly, she was still asleep. Jake grabbed my hand and dragged me to his room.

“Dani, can we talk” Jake asked, his voice sounded serious and I was worried.

“Okay…” I responded, obviously curious.

“I wanted to ask you” he paused for what seemed like hours, but was only a few seconds.

“Will you” again he paused. It almost seemed as if he was trying to make me have an anxiety attack.

“Will I what? For fuck’s sake” I yelled.

“Never mind” he mumbled and looked away.

“I swear to god if you don’t tell me what you are going to say I’m going to beat you to death with a spoon!” I snapped.

(has anybody seen that video, it was so weird but hilarious at the same time)

He gave me a strange look. “Okay, okay, no need to threaten me” he said, grabbing my hand.

“Will you just please get on with it” I whined.

“I wanted to know if you wanted to sneak out with me to a party this Friday” he said, smirking. He made such a big deal out of nothing. I was so stupid. I thought he might actually have feelings for me.

“Seriously” I mumbled. He knew he worked me up over nothing and he was going to pay.

“Yeah, I guess” I mumbled in response to his invitation.
