Well. Shit. I knew I shouldn't have came in here. I have throw up on my shoulder and my hair was starting to frizz. What was I thinking?! "Dammit." I muttered to myself.
"What was that?" he asked.
"Oh, uh.. nothing."
Well that was a stupid response. Jacob just stared at me until I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks.
"Didn't exactly sound like 'nothing..'" he smirked.
Silence. Well, this became incredibly awkward.
It doesn't help when he was just as awkward as me in this situation.
I wasn't expecting to run into him, and now I wish I would have went straight home.
Too late for that.
"So how's Jeremy?"
I stared blankly at him. Someone clearly didn't get the memo."Jeremy and I broke up a year ago." Even more awkward silence. Could this day get any worse?
"Oh.. well I'm sorry to hear that," he said genuinely.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did I hear that correctly?! Mind you, this was coming from the guy who had deliberately tried to interfere my relationship with Jeremy.
He smiled, "You know Rosie, he didn't deserve to have you. I told you that since the very beginning."
I could feel my face getting warm. My eyes darted towards the floor.
"It's okay, our breakup was mutual."
He could tell I was lying, I couldn't even look at him straight in the eye.
"Rose..."
"It's fine," I blurted. I didn't want this to become sentimental. Especially with his mom standing right there. Oh shit. I forgot his mom was standing behind the cash register this entire time.
She smiled and I couldn't help but wonder what was going on in her head.
"Jacob," she said, "I hate to interrupt but there's a girl here that I think you should ask out on a date." I smiled at his mom as an indication to thank her so I could escape this awkward conversation. I turned around to look around the store to see who the girl was. Shit, I would introduce her to Jacob myself.
My heart dropped to my stomach as I realized the only other people in the store was an elderly couple. I turned to Jacob. I was the girl.
