I turned to go out to the
back door of Luca’s house because I saw that it was
quiet. I saw a pickup truck and stood in front of it,
gradually, resting on it. I had my arms folded; trying to
warm them up since the cold breeze numbed my legs.
I’d been standing out a few minutes when I heard a
noise from the silence of just the wind blowing on my
face. I turned to look at the door and saw Jake.
“Just needed some air,” I lied.
“It’s warm in there.” “Look
Cassie,” Jake started. “It’s not that I
didn’t want to kiss you. It’s that I just,
didn’t want you thinking that I did it because I
had to and not that I wanted to.” Jake was now
standing right in front of me. “It’s alright;
I’m not worrying about it. I’ve forgot about
it,” I looked at the ground. “I know you
haven’t Cassie,” He put a cold finger below
my chin and moved my head up so my eyes were lined with
his. I had a flashback to the first day when I first
looked into his eyes. “I-Jay-I-,” I
stuttered. His eyes became smaller as his face formed
into a smile. It was like I was under a trance. His eyes
became bigger as he came closer; I was still struggling
to speak. His jeans touched my legs and his hands touched
mines. I stopped trying to speak. I rested my head on his
chest and he put his arms around me. I pulled out and
looked up at him; he slowly pushed the hair that was
hiding my eyes, away from my face. “You
shouldn’t hide that beautiful face with
make-up.” Jake smiled, still extremely close to me.
I looked at the ground and smiled. He knows exactly what
to say. “So do you forgive me?”
“Yea,” I smiled. He took off his jacket and
draped it over my shoulders. He sat up on the hood of the
pick up beside me and we started talking like best
friends again. I glanced over at the house full of people
and saw Skye, she grinned at me as if to say ‘Told
you so’. I smiled back and turned back to talking
to Jake.
