Chapter 20
Iggy put a reassuring hand on my arm. "Let's go outside," he offered leading me out onto the balcony.
"Yeah, Ja'leese. It's me," Dylan said.
"Ja'leese? You're talking to Ja'leese?" Dylan's sister, Jessica, screamed from the background. "Put her on speaker!"
"okay, geez," Dylan muttered.
Iggy looked concerned when he sat in one of the plastic chairs so I sat on his lap and held his hand making him loosen up put his arms around me.
"Ja'leese! You're safe! Where are you? You need to come back! Oh my god! I cant wait to tell everyone that you're okay!" Jessica started shouting.
"no, Jess. You can't tell anyone you're talking to me. And I can't tell you where I'm at. Sorry," I told her.
"oh…why not?" she asked.
Iggy took the phone from my hands and pressed the speaker button. "She can't tell you because she would be putting herself and the rest of us in danger. So stop bugging her about it. She doesn't like having to tell you guys no and making you sad. She loves you guys and you have to accept that she won't tell you. Not ask why," he said trying not to sound rude.
"Who's 'us'? And who's this?" Dylan demanded.
"'Us' is Ja'leese's new family. And I just so happen to be Iggy. Ja'leese's best friend in that family," Iggy told him starting to sound a little annoyed.
I knew Dylan was going to start being rude to Iggy because I know how he would never put up with someone talking to him like Iggy was, but he surprised me. He took a while to respond but when he did he was quieter and sounded more concerned. "Ja'leese's new family? What happened? Why does she have a new family? And who's in this 'new family'?"
"Yeah, my new family…I had to come…" I said.
My phone beeped signaling that he hung up and I stared at it in surprise and disappointed. In what? Even I'm not sure. I just felt disappointed. I leaned back on Iggy and sighed heavily.
"Hey, Ja'leese?" Iggy said looking up at the sun.
"Yeah, Iggy?" I asked looking at him, trying to predict what he would say.
Iggy shut his eyes and let the sun wash over his face, making him look even more gorgeous. "I love you," he whispered still facing the sun.
I looked up at the sun, too, and closed my eyes like him. "yeah, I know. You've said it a lot today," I smiled, eyes still closed and face still up at the sun.
He gave a half laugh and squeezed me tighter around my waist. "That's because it's true."
"Yah know what else is true?" I said.
"What's that?" he asked me. I pictured him smiling, the sun's rays helping his smile to light up his face.
"I love you, too," I told him, thinking of when I first saw him.
Iggy laughed again and asked me, "what are you thinking?"
I opened my eyes and looked at him. He was doing the same. I wish he could see me… "of when I first saw you and the first thoughts that went through my head," I blurted out, my mind not catching up with my mouth fast enough to stop myself. "I mean…"
He cut me off, "what were those thoughts?"
"my exact thoughts?" asked i. (properness that Rianna got me to put!)
"yeah."
"Well…." I stammered, "well…the main one was 'this has got to be the most beautiful guy ever'," I admitted blushing in embarrassment.
"Really?" he asked with a sincere voice.
"well….yeah, I guess," I told him.
"you guess?" he asked with a sarcastic voice this time.
"Oh, hush, Iggy," I said hitting him playfully just as Max called for us to come inside and make dinner.
We got up and walked into the kitchen heading straight for the refrigerator. Iggy pulled out 8 packs of steak and some stuff to marinate it in, and got to work. For most of the time, I just stood to the side and watched, but a few times he would ask me to get him a knife or something like that. I can't even begin to explain how scared I was to be handing him a knife. I mean, he's blind and he could accidently chop off his finger or some other vital body part. Angel kept reminding me from the living room that there was nothing to worry about and that Iggy knew what he was doing. I knew that too, but when you like someone a lot, like I like Iggy, then you tend to worry more than necessary about that person.
