To Love or Not to Love Ch.2: And there was Jake

I-I couldn't believe it. I thought he was sent to jail. I-I don't know what to do, I mean I can't tell my mother, nor my younger ignorant-oriented siblings, not even to my closest friends! I cannot start panicking, I just can't. I just need to tell myself to calm down, because well you know he probably isn't even here! He's probably the next town over or….

"HEY! Can you hear me?! Please respond back if you can here me!" This human being kept tugging on my shirt, strangely painful yet arousing….

I start coughing up phlegm, gross I know.

"Hey are you ok?"The boy asked.

"Huh? Oh yes, I'm fine…I j-just I need to go. Oh, how his looks were astonishing.

"Wait, do you live around town?" asked the boy.

"Oh, um yea I do, why?"

"Oh, well I'm new to town and just wondered if you can help me with directions to get back to Eden Street, that's where I laugh ha"

"Oh, Eden Street? That's where I live!" Damn, a fine boy like that living next door…hmm can make wonders.

"Oh, ha-ha cool…I don't believe I know your na-"

"Joanie" I was suddenly feeling oddly red.

"Oh, ha-ha well nice to meet you Joanie I'm Jake"

"Nice to meet you…Jake..

"So, Joanie…tell me about yourself"

Wow, I couldn't stop thinking how this boy…handsome boy was talking to ME. I mean the last time I had a boyfriend was after the ninth grade, but I just couldn't deal with you know…what happened before…

"Oh, ok" I was started to turn fuchsia "I grew up in Malibu, California and had to transfer here when I was nine, I have one mom and seven younger siblings and I work at a massage clinic as a receptionist. Eh, my life is dull" It's weird how I strangely opened up to him…

"What does your mom work?" Why was he so nosy?

"Oh, umm a umm company downtown" I was horrible at lying.

"There's a downtown?!"

Crap. Now what do I say?

"Oh, no I did not mean downtown as in "the city" but I meant like down THE town" down THE town!? What was I thinking!?

"Oh, gotcha" I don't think he believed me.

Thank god we reached my house.

"So, do you know how to find your place from here?"

"Oh yea I do, thanks" His teeth were so pearly white – I was jealous.

"Oh, wait Jake…tell me about YOURSELF" I am not diggin' the mysterious vibe anymore.

"Some other time" He winked at me. At me. No one else.
