"almost there" my dad groans
he lifts up the hanger and my car door unlocks, "yay" i squeal
"how do you forgot your keys in the car?" my dad laughs
"it's kelsey, what do you expect?" jaden smirks at me
"okay i got to get going, don't come home late" my dad points a finger at me
"i won't dad" i smile and he runs back to his car
i get inside my car and so does jaden, "what do you want to do today?"
i back out the driveway of starbucks, "i- i don't know"
"we should go to your place and cook something, together" jaden suggest
"i have no food at home"
"then we'll get some, it'll be fun. we can make tacos" he puts his hand on my thigh and i flinch
jaden furrows his brows, "what?"
"y-your hand is cold" i try to ignore his heavy stare
jaden looks out the window and i drive to the closest grocery store for us to buy some food
his hand stays on my thigh and i feel my goosebumps starting to rise. i don't know why i feel like this
his hand isn't even cold, it was a reflex. i thought he was going to hurt me
i love him, he's been there for me during my hardest times. i don't know what's been up with him lately
he cares so much of what i do and who i talk to, is it bad? maybe he's just being protective so i don't get hurt again
"right here" he points to a empty lot
i park the car and we get out, he grabs my arm and intertwines his hand with mine
i look down at it and take a deep breath, "you eat tacos right?" he ask me
"yes, i love tacos" i fake a smile and he kisses my cheek
"i know what my baby likes"
jaden goes to get the tacos and i look around the flowers, i pick up the red rose and stare it down
the smell was strong which was strange because i've never smelled a strong rose. it smelled really nice
i put it down and continue to look around, they are so beautiful. i absolutely love flowers
"kels" jaden runs up to me and puts everything in the cart
i look down at what he put into the cart "no avocados?"
"avocados?"
"yea for guacamole" i tell him
"they didn't have any" he takes the cart from me
i follow behind him and look around the store, i grab some chips and throw them in the cart
"lemon chips?"
"yea, why not" i look at him and he shrugs his shoulders
we wait in line and jaden lifts my chin up and leaves a small kiss on my lips, "i'm going to make you the best tacos"
"the best?" i laugh
"the best"
+
i sit down at the table and watch jaden make the tacos, "you know, your dad is never home"
"i know" i take a bite from my lemon chip
"why don't you like, throw a party?" he ask
i shrug my shoulders, "i never really liked going to parties. it gets stuffy and all the people smell"
