I miss you so much ❤️, I clicked send and then, with Jeffrey on my mind, I drifted into a surprisingly good sleep despite the earlier events.
I woke up to my phone ringing and wanted to complain about it until I saw who was calling. ''Hey baby'' I answered sleepily.
''Hazel, are you okay? Why are you not answering the door?''.
''Oh shit, what? Are you back? I stayed over at Tay's. Are you at my place right now?''.
''Yes, I caught an earlier flight, wanted to surprise you''.
''I'm on my way, wait there'' I grabbed my things and left in a hurry, Tay still asleep.
Ten minutes later I arrived at my place only to see Jeffrey leaning against the wall, two bouquets of flowers in his hands. "Jeffrey'' I ran to him and hugged him tight and he wrapped his arms around me, holding me like there was no tomorrow. "You brought me flowers?" I looked down at the two bouquets, one of red roses and one of white lilies.
"Looks like someone beat me to it" he lifted up the one with the roses.
"What do you mean?" I opened the door to my apartment.
"I found these on your doorstep. My baby has admirers".
"Are you jealous?" I lifted up an eyebrow.
"Mmmaybe" Jeffrey rested his hands on my hips and pulled me into him. "There seems to be a note to it" he noticed.
Checking the note, I immediately threw the whole bouquet in the trash. "Nope".
"What are you doing?".
"That piece of shit, I can't believe this. How does he have the nerve to do all this?" I was pacing around the kitchen, a confused Jeffrey looking at me in terror. I told him everything about earlier and I knew for sure he wanted to beat the shit out of Benjamin. His hands were in a tight fist, eyebrows furrowed, jaw clenched. Kinda hot though, not gonna lie.
"If you want me to I can go find him right fucking now" I stood up ready to go. As I put my hands on his chest and looked him in the eyes his expression softened and he sighed.
"It's not worth it" my lips brushed his.
"You're right" he pressed his lips into mine hungrily before lifting me up and heading to the sofa. I sat on him as we kissed, a moment I wanted to last forever. "I'm so hungry" he interrupted.
Rolling my eyes, I sat next to him and grabbed my phone. For once, I didn't have any food in my kitchen and had to order some. "What are you craving?".
"You" he kissed the skin under my ear.
"Bitch if you keep on being sexy the only thing you're eating today is me".
He looked at me in shock then laughed. "I mean, if that's how I go then I'm in" he smirked.
"First we eat, then you can get dessert" I winked, both knowing exactly what I meant.

''Hey, Jeffrey?'' my grin grew bigger and bigger. He looked at me waiting to go on, so I straddled him and grabbed his face with my hands. ''Do you wanna go shopping with me?".
''Ugh, baby, you know I'm not a fan of it. Something in particular you want buy?''
"Yeah, a dress. There's this premiere I'm going to, I think it's for the movie Walkaway Joe or something" I said playfully.
"Yeah? You wanna go?" I nodded and his smile was so wide I thought I'd melt. He grabbed my neck and pulled me into him for a delicious kiss. ''Then let's get you that dress'' he yawned making me laugh.
''Jeff, I can't force you to go shopping with me if you don't want to. I can go with Tay and I'll see you later today if you want''. I couldn't force him to do something he didn't want.
''Honestly, doll, I would be so fucking happy if you went with Tay. I'm still tired from the flight so I'll crash here until you're back, that sound good?''.
''Of course. Go rest, my bed is newly changed and smells like heaven''.
''Have fun, send me pictures of the dress''.
''You wish. You're not seeing that dress until the day of the premiere'' I teased before stepping into the bathroom to take a quick shower before meeting Tay.

While at the mall, I felt eyes on me all the time. Looking around, checking everyone's faces and trying my best to figure out what I was feeling, everyone seemed to be minding their own business. I had to be imagining it, why would anyone follow me anyway?
''This one definitely makes me look pregnant'' I laughed as I looked in the mirror and massaged the fake belly the dress gave me.
''Would look cute on you though'' Tay teased making me roll my eyes. Nope, not gonna happen. Not my thing.
''Idiot''.
After trying a million dresses I finally found the right one. On our way out we bumped into Rob and one of his friends. ''I miss fucking you'' he whispered as we hugged and I froze. ''But I can't compete with that hot ass actor boyfriend of yours'' he laughed.
''I'm head over heels for the guy, so...''.
''It's that bad, huh?'' he joked. I liked that he was so understanding and open minded that we could joke about it without it being uncomfortable.
''Yeah, pretty damn bad''.
Filler chapter, sorry.
