Midnight Rain

Chapter 20

Hazel's POV

*4 Months Later*

We moved! All four of us in Alaska.

We live in a 2 bedroom, 3 bathroom, house in a small city.

I have a job at a bakery. Jessie is still modeling. Josh is a trainer at a gym. Jake is a nature photographer, for a magazine.

One day, at work, the three of them come in and order cinnamon rolls. We make the best cinnamon rolls ever here.

They stay there for about 45 minutes, until I get off work.

"Hey, guys." I say, sitting down at their table.

"Hello, beautiful." Jake says, and kisses me.

I just smile.

"Let's go home." I say, standing up.

They all stand up, and we walk out the door.

Once we get home, Josh has to go to work.

"Bye, Josh!" Jessie yells out the door.

Josh and I haven't done anything since that one day. Nothing is weird between us anymore.

It's only 3 in the afternoon, but it's a cloudy day, so it's kind of dark.

I'm tired from work.

"I'm gonna go take a nap." I say, and get up off the couch.

Jake follows me into our room and I lay in my bed.

"You don't have to come in here with me." I say.

"I want to." He smiles, then lays next to me.

After a couple minutes, my eyes close.

I'm almost asleep, when Jake whispers to me.

"Hazel?" He asks.

"What?" I whine, re-opening my eyes.

"You're cute when you're trying to sleep." He smiles.

"That's what you had to say?" I turn away from him.

"No," He laughs, "I think I'm going to go take some photos."

I nod, then close my eyes again.

He kisses my forehead, then leaves.

I can't get back to sleep. So, I walk out to the living room.

"I'm about to go meet up with one of the models I work with. Wanna come?" Jess asks.

I shake my head no, then flop down on the couch.

Then Jesse leaves.

So, I try to sleep.
