16. Caught in the act
It was just another Friday. School, homework, then Jace coming over. I was done with school for the day. Lori had sat with us at lunch and apologized for yesterday. She said she was just nervous. I am sitting in my room staring at my math book blankly trying to figure out the answer to the question. Wait. Why in the heck was I doing my homework on Friday? I closed the book and put it on my desk. That was better people might think I'm a nerd.
I was in the kitchen cooking dinner for everyone. Mom was at work and my brothers were off somewhere doing something stupid. Like oh I don't know asking some random girl out from their car. Poor girl. So that left me home alone. I had my I-pod set up on the counter. I had the song "Love" by Nat King Cole playing. I was dancing around the kitchen as the noodles boiled in the water on the stove. "L is for the way you look at me. O is for the only one I see. V is very very extra-ordinary. E is even more than anyone that you adore can Love its all that I can give to you." I sang, badly I might add, as the words came from the speakers. I kept dancing around and stirring the noodles.
I was setting the table as I hit repeat on the song again. That was my favorite song ever. I danced around and slided around the kitchen as I set the table. I was grabbing the forks out of the drawer still dancing when I turned around. My eyes widened and the forks dropped from my hand. I could hear the song still playing. He was standing in the doorway leaning against the wood ever so casually. He had seen. "Hi." I whispered. I was embarrassed. "Hello Cambrey." Jace said and smiled. Yes he had probably seen the whole thing. The dancing ,my horrible singing, everything.
He sat down at the table and looked at the empty plate. I sat next to him as I put noodles on both of our plates. "You dance very well. You should take drama instead of track." he said a couple minutes later. I knew he was smiling the whole time. "Yeah. Jace how did you get in?" "Back door." Shoot. Note to self, lock the back door anytime I feel like dancing and singing. At the same time. I need to think things through better next time. I was caught in the act, by Jace. Great just the person I wanted to see me dancing and singing horribly. Insert sarcasm here.
