Saturday
I was in the middle of typing up a legal document for one of the lawyers when one of the receptionist walked into my office (yes I have my own office) and she smiled really big at me.
"What is it Wendy?" I asked looking up from my laptop and at her.
"You have a visitor." She said in a very cheerful voice with a big smile on her face.
"Ok, you can let them in." I said and she nodded her head before walking away.
I had no idea who it could be but more than likely it was just either Olivia or my dad because they are the only two that usually visits me at work. I went back to working on the document as I waited for whoever it was to make it to my office.
"So this is what your work place looks like." Jacob said.
I quickly looked up to see Jacob as he walked into the office and he smiled at me.
"Hey." I said as he sat down in a seat in front of my desk.
"Hey." He said smiling at me.
"Did you get off from work early?" I asked since he looked like he was dressed for work.
"No, just on a break and decided to visit my girl." He said smiling really big at me.
"This is a nice office." He said looking around with the big smile on his face.
"Yeah, I guess." I said and he laughed before looking at me.
"What time do you get off today?" He asked leaning forward against my desk.
"2:00." I said after seeing it was 11:30 and he nodded his head.
"I should be done around 4; do you want to meet me at the motel and we can do a dinner and movie tonight?" He asked smiling at me.
"Alright but no pizza." I said.
"Ouch I think you wounded me there." He said putting his hands over his heart and falling backwards against the chair and I shook my head.
"Ok, what are you in the mood for?" He asked smiling at me.
"Pasta." I said.
"Pasta; okay, I think I can work with that." He said tapping one of his fingers on his right hand against his chin.
"So I'll order pasta and drinks; all you have to do is show up at say 6." He said and I nodded my head.
"Sounds good." I said.
"Miss. Thomas, is that document ready yet?" Mr. Sanders (one of the lawyers) asked stopping in the doorway of my office.
"Not yet sir; I'm almost done." I said looking at him.
He looked at me then at Jacob.
"I need it as soon as possible Miss. Thomas." Mr. Sanders said looking at me then he walked away.
"I think that is his subtle hint I need to quit distracting you." Jacob said standing up.
"I'll see you later." I said looking at Jacob.
"Yeah later princess." He said smiling at me then he walked towards the door.
I watched Jacob walk out of my office before going back to typing up the legal document for Mr. Sanders.
When I got off from work, I went straight home. For the date, I decided to wear a dark blue dress that came done past my knees plus a pair of my best black dress flats. For my hair, I just wore it down and I decided to wear just a little bit of lipstick and eye shadow. I knocked on the motel door at exactly 6:00 and when Jacob opened it I saw he was wearing a pair of khaki shorts and a black t-shirt.
"You look beautiful." He said before hugging me after he shut the door behind me.
"So am I picking out the movie again or did you pick it out this time?" I asked looking at him.
"I picked it out this time but I think you'll like it." He said.
"Ok what movie did you pick?" I asked before sitting down on the floor in front of his bed.
He already had the pasta and drinks in the usual spot we put the food.
"Star Trek." He said before sitting down on my left side like usual.
"You better be happy I'm a nerd too." I said and he laughed before putting his arm around me.
"Even if you weren't I bet you would watch it just for Chris Pine." He said.
I shrugged my shoulders as he pressed the play button and he shook his head at me.
When the movie was over, I stayed beside him and he looked at me.
"So are you walking yourself home like usual or do I get to walk you home?" He asked tucking a strand of my hair behind my left ear.
"Hey, are you with me princess?" He asked pulling me a little closer to him when I didn't answer him.
"Yeah and I'll walk myself home." I said nodding my head before standing up.
"When are you ever going to tell me what's going on in that head of yours princess?" He asked looking at me as he stood up.
"And don't say nothing because it's written all over your face; am I doing something wrong?" He asked as I grabbed my purse off of the table.
"It's more of a me thing than a you thing." I said checking my phone.
"Ok." He said stopping near me.
"Do you want to elaborate?" He asked leaning against the table and looking at me.
"Princess, you can tell me anything. I am the last person to judge." He said as I looked up from my phone at him.
"I know." I said.
There was a knock at his door after that and he looked at it.
"Give me a minute." He said before walking towards it.
He opened it and I saw it was Johnny Ackerman (he graduated a couple of years ahead of me and he was the type of kid that parents didn't want you to be around).
"Hey, some of us are about to head to the Cavern; you coming?" Johnny asked smiling at Jacob.
"Well if it isn't goody two-shoes Lauren Thomas." Johnny said looking me up and down when he saw me.
"Oh wait, you two are really dating; I thought that was just a rumor." Johnny said looking at me then at Jacob then shaking his head before laughing.
"Dude, I might meet up with you in a bit okay." Jacob said looking at him.
"Uh oh, you two fighting?" Johnny asked.
"No it's all good. You two have fun." I said before pushing past both of them and walking away.
"Lauren!" Jacob yelled following me.
I kept walking and I was almost to the main road away from the motel when Jacob caught up to me. He wrapped his arm around my waist and turned me to face me which he has never done before and I automatically stopped in my tracks.
"Come back to the room so we can get finished talking." He said with his arm still around my waist.
When I looked at his arm around my waist, he quickly dropped his arm from around me and took a step away from me.
"Sorry, but please we were talking and I don't think we were finished." He said.
"Since when do you hang out with Johnny Ackerman?" I asked.
"I met him at the Cavern 2 weeks ago." He said thinking about it.
"He seems cool and a lot like Tony." He said.
"Wait, are you judg…" He started to say seeing the looking on my face.
"Princess, I thought you didn't do that." He said in a mad voice.
"If you like him then you should hang out with him. I'm going home Jacob. I'll see you another day." I said before turning around.
"You didn't answer the question princess." He said and I could tell he was mad.
"I don't know him Jacob I only know what I've heard around town." I said.
"Then come to the Cavern and get to know him." He said stopping beside me and looking at me.
"Not tonight; I just want to go home right now." I said.
"Princess, I really wish you would just tell me what's bothering you." He said reaching his left hand up towards my face.
When I didn't back away, he touched my face and took a small step towards me.
"Another time I promise." I said leaning into his touch and he smiled.
"Ok; text me when you get home so I'll know you got back safe." He said and I nodded my head.
"Romeo! You coming or not!" Johnny yelled from the motel and Jacob shook his head.
Jacob kissed my cheek before taking his hand away from my face and backing away from me.
"Romeo!" Johnny yelled.
"Coming!" Jacob yelled looking at Johnny then back at me.
"Goodnight Romeo." I said and Jacob laughed before smiling at me.
"No Jacob is fine." He said shaking his head at me.
"Goodnight Lauren." He said smiling at me.
"I don't know princess is kind of growing on me." I said before walking away and I saw him smile really big.
