chapter 4:
something tells me that maybe I wasn't supposed to meet Jude Jacob and maybe I wasn't supposed to be so fascinated with him. The way his lips move when he talks or how his nose scrunches up when he laughs. At around 6:30, which was 30 minutes after Jude had arranged to come and get me, I came to this conclusion. I wanted Jude, but the universe and maybe Jude himself, didn't want me with him. So, I changed into sweatpants and a tank top, ordered a pizza, and sat in my room and tried to figure out why he never showed. After sitting for one whole hour, the door bell rang signaling that my pizza was finally here. I jumped off of bed and ran down the stairs and whipped open the door, but it did not reveal a pizza delivery guy instead it revealed Jude.
"You're a hour and a half late." I said raising my eyebrow at him.
"I know, I'm sorry. My foster parents were being bitches tonight." He said looking me in the eye and then looked me up and down. "Do you mind if I come in?"
I'm slightly hesitant, but I look at him again and I can't help but nod.
"Nice place," he comments looking around while taking off his jacket. "Do you mind?" he questions right before he hangs up his jacket on the coat rack. I shake my head no and he hangs his coat up.
"So, Connor I would have taken you on an extravagant journey tonight but it seems that the gods either hate me or just have really bad timing because it is pouring with rain." I pier behind him towards the living room window and see that not only is I pouring with rain but it is also thundering and lightening.
"So, I thought we could take this rare chance to get to know each other." I ponder for a few moments. Is this really a good idea? I mean but how could I say no to the one and only Jude Jacob.
"Okay but I ordered pizza, so I hope that's okay for dinner?" I respond.
"Pizza and Connor Stevens? But, how could I ask for more?" I blush slightly and look up at Jude in preparation for the first question among many that he would be asking me tonight.
"Why don't we just ask questions to each other back and forth until we get bored and then watch a movie?" I quickly get excited over the idea of being with Jude all night. "That sounds great but what about your foster parents? Wont they be worried?" I say raising an eyebrow at him. "Oh Connor, You see they don't even think I've left the house"
The rest of the night consisted of plain pizza, chocolate ice cream, and bad secrets being exchanged. It was one of the best nights of my life but I still had one question that was lingering in my head and I wanted to ask it, I did, but I just wasn't sure how. I looked over at Jude, he was laughing at whatever was playing on the TV, and suddenly the question just burst out of me.
"Who do you like? Like do you like boys or girls? Or both?" I ask nervously stuttering through every word.
"I like who I feel attracted too." I raise my eyebrow at him. "I don't like labels, they confuse me." I nod and try and turn my attention back to the TV but I feel him staring at me.
"I like you." He says while staring at me. He.
