14. Hanging out with friends
Our friends were coming over today.
Stella and Brayden were with us while my mom was at the grocery store.
Stella was coming home from school in a few minutes. Brayden was upstairs playing.
All the sudden I heard the living room door open and close.
"Gabs" I heard Stella yell. "in here" I yelled from the kitchen drinking a glass of water.
She entered the kitchen and sat down next to me.
"I like Colleen" "you do?" "yes do I tell him" "yes you should definitely tell him" "ok" she walked out of the kitchen.
They went to mom's a little while later and Jake was about to come home any second.
And as if on cue I heard the alarm go off and feet coming to the kitchen.
"hey brie" he said as he walked in and kissed me.
He said it kind of sad.
"what's wrong?" "nothing" he said.
"it can't be 'nothing' when you say it like that now what's wrong"
"its just practice was just aggravating" he said annoyed.
"how so?" "I couldn't make a single basket I was all messed up" I looked at him.
He said it like he was perfect at everything. I crossed my arms, frowned and knitted my eyebrows together.
"what" he asked now a little scared he might have said something to make my hormones go haywire.
I went upstairs and when I got to the bedroom sat on the bed. He was next to me in seconds.
"what did I say Brie?" he asked. I turned to look at him I smoothed my face out but did not uncross my arms.
"you cant be perfect every time you do something Jake. Just because you made every basket last time doesn't guarantee you will do the same the next time." He sighed.
Later the gang came over we hung out for a long time.
Jake POV
We were all sitting in the living room. I was looking around at everyone they were in their own conversations.
I saw what I had ,I had everything I could ever imagine.
Great friends, a beautiful house, and most of all a loving and thoughtful wife.
I looked at Bridget I caught her laughing at one of Tyler's unfunny jokes.
She was beautiful when she laughed.
She was right earlier I couldn't be perfect at everything. God knows I try I just can't.
Bridget seemed to always make things better.
I don't know how in the world she does it but she somehow always makes me want to still believe.
