"should i be this nervous?" i ask nia as she's on the other line. i could feel my insides twisting. i don't remember being as nervous as i am now the first time i went to his house for this. "why would you even be nervous? you've been there before." she laughs at me, you could hear sams small laugh
in the back as well causing me to smile some. "i don't know... i was just over there tuesday i shouldn't feel like this." i tell her causing a small gasp to leave her mouth. "sam, hold on." she mutters followed by the sound of heavy footsteps as if she were running. after a second you hear a door shut and her slightly
panting. "you were there tuesday?!" she asks quickly making me realize i had never told her about that. i close my eyes and wince to myself. i'll most likely never hear the end of this... me forgetting to tell nia a minor detail. i laugh at her some and smile. "yeah, well i didn't know he was going to be there. katherine just wanted me to come by and hang out and try on some of her old dresses. my God nia they were gorgeous." i groan, remembering how pretty they were."what was he even there for?" she asks as if she was trying to put the puzzle together. "well it is my parents house" i repeat what he told me in the most jack voice i could make out. a loud laugh leaves her mouth and you could hear it get muffled, most likely her trying to cover up her laugh she had just let out. "i'm sorry that was funny." she tells me after a few more seconds of laughing at the voice i did. "just go up to the door, ring the bell and everything will be fine. you've done it before so you shouldn't be nervous." she reassured me causing me to turn of my car and let out a deep sigh. "no you're right. okay. i'm going to go. i love you." i tell her, feeling the nervous pit in my stomach become more and more deep as i look around at all the cars parked around his house. "i love you too. have fun!" i hear her say before hanging up. i lean back in my seat again for a second before getting out of my car and making my way up to his house.
i ring the door bell and not even three seconds later it's being opened, revealing jack. he looked relieved if i'm being honest. "oh hey... i didn't think you were going to come.."he laughs nervously. "sorry i'm late... i was on the phone with nia." i answer honestly. i had to have been on the phone with her the whole way here and at least ten more minutes while i sat in his drive way. "but you had to have known i was going to... i wouldn't ditch you." i add, trying to reassure him that i wouldn't ever do that to him. even if i was mad. i'd give him a completely honest explanation if i wasn't going to be able to make it. "That's good to know... we'll like i didn't think you'd ditch me.. i. i don't know i was just nervous that maybe you forgot." he rambles making me smile as he lets me in. "i can't lie, i've actually been looking forward to this all week. i haven't been to one in a while." i answer making him smile widely. before he could reply a voice speaks up. "i remember you." a woman smirks. i hold my gaze on her before i smile widely. "i remember you! you're jacks aunt traci!" i point. "it's bee a minute since we've seen you around here." she says, glancing more over at jack than me. "she just moved back down. i invited her over tuesday." jack speaks up. i understand why they'd find it weird for me to be here. i'm his ex, but we're friends now so hopefully they'll still like me as much as they did when i was dating him. "it's really good to see you. when katherine told us you were coming i didn't know it would be this cindy" she smiles, pulling me into a hug. i hug back, feeling welcomed.
"the one and only" i laugh nervously, not knowing how else to reply. a hand lands on my shoulder, holding it firmly and causing me to jump. "dad you scared her." jack laughs lightly. an even wider smile forms on my face when i turn to see david. "i'm glad you're finally coming around again." he hugs me. "we've really missed you... you know that?" he laughs, sounding excited that i'm back down. "i've missed you guys too." i smile back. "it feels good to be here." i answer honestly. i've missed the feeling of everything when i was here. it was always something different and there was always someone new to meet. "listen, when you get a chance me and katherine would love to take you out to eat sometime... our treat. maybe jack can even join us too."david tells me making me smile again. "you sure?" i ask, it made me feel bad for him offering to pay for me. i hate it when people pay for me. yes, i'm thankful ... i just feel bad about it.
"now cindy, we're not doing that are you sure nonsense you always do. we're buying." david tells me as he raises his eyebrows and looks down at me. i sigh and nod my head. "okay fine. just this once though!" i tell him sternly making him laugh. "maybe." he retorts before walking away. "well... only some food is ready so if you're hungry we can eat. i was going to wait for you." he tells me causing me to nod. "actually i'm kind of hungry." i tell him and he smiles and throws his head in the direction of the kitchen. "we have fruits and stuff for right now the meat will be a little bit longer." he explains as i follow him into the kitchen. "fruit sounds fine for right now." i smile, grabbing a plate. we both make our plates in a comfortable silence before i look over at him. "where are we going to eat?" i ask making him let out a small laugh. "wanna just go
out back like we used to?"he suggests. he sounded nervous about it. " sounds fine to me." i tell him as i start to walk towards the back door that led to the back yards patio.we both take a seat he sighs for a second causing me to look over at him with furrowed eyebrows. "what's wrong?" i ask. it make me grow nervous wondering what he was sighing about. all types of random possibilities popped up in my head of what he could be sighing about. was i boring him? maybe i said or did something that ruined his mood from the roughly ten minutes ive been here. "nothing." he tells me looking away from me. "okay never mind can i ask you something?" he changes his mind, most likely remembering how bad him saying nothing or me saying nothing made us feel. it always made the most awkward silence between us. "of course." i nod, putting my fork down and looking over at him.
"you and nate.. are you guys like together?" he asks me, becoming more serious. i let out a laugh and shake my head. "me and nate? our friend nate?" i ask with a smile causing him to nod. his expression seemed like he was wondering why i was laughing. "no! me and nate have just gotten closer... as friends. we're like bestfriends now. i don't see him that way at all if that's what you're wondering." i answer honestly and he nods again. "why?" i ask my question. "it just... the whole time you've been down you guys have been all over each other. i didn't know if you guys were dating or not. it was hard to tell." he laughs nervously causing me to smirk. "what would it have meant to you?" i ask him, partially teasing. part of me wanted to know why he felt the way he did and the other part of me just wanted a reaction out of him."i didn't necessarily like the idea of it... but i was going to work on being happy for you two of you guys were together." he tells me making a small smile form on my face at the sound of him not liking the idea of me an nate together. i don't know why it made me smile.. it just appeared i guess. he smiles at me and furrows his eyebrows. "what now?" he laughs, thinking he did something wrong. "nothing, i just liked you're response." i shrug, grabbing a piece of watermelon and taking a bite of it with a small smile.
