I'm woken up by my phone excessively ringing. Who the hell is interrupting my sleep. I can barely open my eyes. The ringing finally stops. I reach my hand out on my night stand, blindly feeling for my phone. Ah there it is.
-Missed call - 10:30am- Jack P
Oh shit right. I told him I'd show him around. I drag myself out of bed and head for the bathroom. After 20 minutes I have showered, brush my teeth and done my hair. I ring jack back. The phone rings a few times before he answers. His voice rough and sexy.
"Hello" he answers bluntly
"Hey, sorry I missed your call I was sleeping" I apologise
"Not to worry!" blunt again
"So you still need me to show you around?" I ask
"No, I've made other plans. Something came up" his voice so cold "That's why I was calling" he continues "another time. Listen I'll see you later."
"Oh Okay, see yah" I try to keep my cool but in reality I'm a bit upset. What was I expecting. You knew this, men like him don't bother with girls like you. I shake of any thoughts of jack. Walking to my fridge I'm scanning what I have. I fancy creamy shrimp pasta today. Looking inside my fridge I barely have anything to make pasta. I'll pop to the store.
I get dressed and drive to the store, grabbing what I need. Since I'm out I decide to grab a latte from my favourite coffee shop. As I open the door my eyes instantly stop and widen. There's jack sitting all cosy with Jess from work. She's leaning over him, giggling like a school girl. He doesn't seem like he minds her at all. There's one person in the queue, I'll grab my coffee and go, it's none of my business ill just pretend like I didn't see them. They probably won't even realise I'm here, I'll just keep my head down.
But it doesn't take long for Jack to spot me. I could feel his eyes on me. I quickly glanced his way. His facial expressions changed from smiling to serious and stern. I mean he doesn't have to explain or feel any way for not hanging out with me. He owes me nothing. In the corner of my eyes I watch him say something to Jess, her expression changes and she almost seems unhappy. He stands and starts walking towards me.
Oh no, nope nope. Why is he coming over? Please don't.
"Hey! Fancy meeting you here!" he says trying to play it off. I almost roll my eyes
"Oh hey, yeah. Just grabbing a coffee and gonna be on my way" I say casually, as if him cancelling on me for Jess didn't annoy me at all. But somehow I feel like he can sense my annoyance. He smiles down at me.
"Jess had some free time and …" I cut him off
"You don't have to explain. We established yesterday that you wouldn't get nowhere with me, you might as-well be with someone who gives you what you want. So please go back to whatever you were doing. I really don't care" I give him a fake smile and look straight ahead.
He leans in, invading my personal space. I could smell his cologne instantly making me feel like I'm in a bubble and everything around us is just melting away.
"First of all, if I wanted you I could have you and second, jealousy looks so good on you" he smirks down at me. My blood boils, who does he think he is?!
"if you wanted me?! ha. Oh please jack take me right here, I'm just another girl who is so desperate to have you between my legs" I spit out sarcastically. His eyes lit up, he is enjoying tormenting and toying with me.
"How I wish I could take you right here" he whispers in my ear. His lips slightly brushing against my skin. I'm standing in the coffee shop all flustered and bothered. My breathing hitches and my heart is pounding. I look up at him through my lashes, he has the biggest smile plastered on his face. I turn on my heels and leave. Mixed feelings of anger and arousal wash over me.
I drive home unable to shake him off. He has officially gotten under my skin. All I can think about is; what it would feel like to run my hands through his wavy brown hair, kissing his gorgeous full lips and feeling his big hands on my body. Stop, just stop. He is playing with you.
It's 2pm, I've got music on dancing along and singing at the top of my lungs while cooking. My bell rings, I press the buzzer. "Who is it?" I ask
"Delivery" I buzz him in. I'm surprised the dress I ordered for voting day turned up today. I was expecting it to come on Monday but oh well. There's a knock, As I open the door my smile drops it's none other than Jack. He's standing in front of me with a coffee.
"Really? Pretending to be the delivery man? What are you doing here?" (A)
"We didn't finish our conversation and you didn't even order your coffee. You left, so I got you one" (J)
"and you thought you'd drive all the way here just to finish a conversation and drop a coffee?" (A) My tone slightly off, I don't have time for games.
"Where's Jess? is she in the car waiting?" (A) I ask sarcastically.
"No, she went home! just for the record, you didn't seem too interested to hang out with me so when Jess said she was free I thought I'd rather hang with someone who wants to be around me" he says
"you don't have to explain, we're cool" (A)
