Chapter 37

Oh god he was coming over for coffee. I needed to stop acting like an i***t. It was just coffee. He wasn't going to care that I was in pjs and his hoody. Maybe I should change.Ŵ??.ñô???Ⓢ????.ⓒℴ?No! I was overthinking once again.???.????⒧Ⓢ?⒪m?.č?⒨Concentrating back on my school work I was reading over what I had so far when the door went. It wasn't 12 o'clock yet.He was early.Placing my laptop to the side of me I got up, my reflection from the mirror catching my attention. I looked horrible. I hadn't even brushed my hair just threw it into a messy bun on the top of my head.The door went again.ⓦ⒲?.?ó?è⒧???ⓜe.ⓒ??Answer the door i***t!Taking a deep breath I unlocked the door and pulled it open. It wasn't Jake. My stomach dropped."Delivery for a Leah Wilson?".I hadn't ordered anything."Sigh here please". He smiled.ⓦ?w.⒩o?ℯ?⒮Ĥ???.???Who was this from?Closing the door behind me I sat the parcel on the couch. I didn't know anyone good enough around here to send me a package. Grabbing a knife from the kitchen I cut the seal and pulled the lid off.It was black roses.Taking out the card I felt the tightness in my chest. They were from Tommy.'You won't return my calls, you won't answer my text. Did I mean nothing to you? Please let me know you're safe. I love you Leah'Why did I have a bad feeling about this?"Nice flowers".Jumping slightly I turned around slipping the note in my pocket. "Jesus s**t Jake you scared me. Have you never heard of knocking?". Putting the lid back on the box I placed them on the floor."I did knock princess but you never answered"."So you just decided to walk in?". Making a face I took a seat on one of the chairs. Only then did I notice he was holding a bag and 2 coffee cups. "Did you bring me something sweet?". I grinned."No". He smirked. "Sweets will rot your teeth. Go get 2 plates"."What have you got in that bag?". I must admit it smelled delicious. "Please tell me you at least brought me a muffin". He shook his head. "A cookie then?"."Plates princess"."Stop calling me that". Grabbing two plates from the kitchen I handed them to him and watched as he dished up wherever he had bought."A bagel?". I frowned. Not that I didn't like them I just thought he'd have brought goods. As in chocolate goods.

"Just wait until you taste it". He winked passing me a plate.It was like heaven.He made it sweet. My eyes closed as I savoured the strawberries and chocolate hazelnut together. Oh and there was a crunch."That's so good". I groaned taking another bite. Who would have thought to put that on a bagel? I always put savoury things on mine. Taking a seat I caught him staring. "Stop staring at me". Finishing the last of my bagel I took the coffee from him. "Thank you for that". I smiled."Anytime princess".Again with the princess."I didn't know you wore glasses". He said.I must have forgotten they were still on my face. "I should be wearing them more than what I do". I sighed. "I only really wear them when my eyes get sore"."So why'd you ask me out for coffee?". He asked.I knew that was coming. What was I meant to say? I maybe like you?"I thought it was a good idea, we can maybe get to know each other better". I was cringing on the inside. How lame did I sound."Did Alanna put you up to this?".I started to laugh."I f*****g knew it". He snapped. "I'm not playing games Leah". Getting to his feet he stared right through me. "Wait till I f*****g see her".This had gone from zero to one hundred in a matter of seconds."I'm not playing games. She didn't put me up to anything. I was laughing because I asked her the same question last night when she came over". His mood could change in a matter of seconds. Hot and cold just like that and I wasn't sure if I could deal with that."She was here last night?". His teeth were clenched. He needed to calm down. I didn't like the anger, I didn't like the aggression."Yes". I sighed. "She came to make sure I was okay after you told her I was having a rough time"."And?"."She said that I should get to know you". I went with that because it was better than saying give him a chance. I didn't want him to take all of this the wrong way. We were just getting to know each other or so I thought."She did?". He frowned."Yes. So that's why I plucked up the courage and asked you to go for coffee".Sitting back down he ran a hand over his face. "I get hot headed at times princess. I've got a temper"."You think?". I huffed.
