Chapter 108
For some reason I couldn’t get drunk. I was tipsy, my head a little fuzzy but I was still aware of my surroundings.
“Let’s go”. Alanna smirked. “It’s VIP time”. Taking a hold of my hand she pulled me to my feet.
The VIP area wasn’t so different from the main area. It had comfier seats and was a lot more intimate but that was it.
“I’m going to get some air”. I wasn’t feeling it anymore.
“You okay?”. She asked.
“Always”. I smiled as she pulled me in for a hug.
“If you get the chance please talk to him”. As she pulled back I rolled my eyes. Speaking of Jake I hadn’t seen him in a while. I wasn’t even sure if he was still here.
“I will”. Walking across the dance floor I grabbed my phone from my bag and made my way outside. The cold air against my face was welcoming. It was like a sweat fest inside. “Little lady are you okay?”. The bouncer asked.
Holding onto the front of the building I pulled my shoes off a sigh escaping my mouth when I felt the coolness of the ground. “You can call me Leah”. I smiled.
“Leah”. He grinned. “Want me to call the boss p>
Yes, yes I did. I didn’t want to fight anymore. I missed him, missed being around him and spending time together. But if he couldn’t be honest with me then I had to stand my ground and keep to my word. I wasn’t about to put my all into this if he was still messing around.
“No that’s okay”. Walking to the end of the sidewalk I took a seat on the kerb. I should have stayed in tonight. I wasn’t in the mood anymore. I was starving and couldn’t seem to get out this funk that I was in.
Being here wasn’t as fun as the first time. All I could think about was him. Did it even bother him that we weren’t speaking? Was he thinking about it just as much as I was?
I was too wrapped up in my own head to hear him approach. Placing his hands on my shoulders I placed my hand on one of his. I didn’t want to be like this anymore. It was hard being mad at him.
“Think we need to talk princess p>
We did but I was scared it would turn into a screaming match and I didn’t really want that outside a night club in front of an audience.
“We do Jake but not here”. I was ready to go home and get out of this dress.
“Let me take you home p>
Letting my hand fall from his I picked up my shoes and got to my feet. I at least had to make a little effort if we were going to fix this. “Take me home then p>
I was glad his car was parked at the side of the club. That told me he hadn’t been drinking. Clipping my seatbelt into place I could feel the nerves building in my stomach.
I wanted him to be honest with me and tell me about his past. I wasn’t jealous, we all had a past. I just needed to know that we were on the same page and both of us were going to put 100% into the relationship that we make.
It’s not that I didn’t believe him it’s just when you have so many different girls approaching you and filling your head with crap it makes you think.
“Did you have fun tonight?”. He asked as he pulled onto the road.
“Was okay”. I shrugged taking my phone from my bag. I didn’t want to worry the girls when they couldn’t find me. Sending Alanna a text I put my phone away my fingers touching the black card. I would be returning that. “Just okay p>
“Not really feeling it tonight”. I wanted nothing more than to jump into my pjs, get into bed and stuff my face with hot Cheetos.
“No broken bones though so that’s good”. I could see his smirk from the corner of my eye.
“No one pissed me off tonight”. I said turning my head so he couldn’t see my smile. I always did like the playfulness we had together. Being together was always easy. Well when we were alone it was.
A chuckle fell from his lips. “I deserved that. You look beautiful tonight Leah p>
It made my heart hurt that we had hit a dent in the road.
“Thank you p>
The rest of the car journey home was quiet. It wasn’t awkward but there was definitely some tension between us. As he rounded the corner to our street he passed my house only stopping when he was parked in his drive way. “We need to talk and I don’t want to be disturbed”. As he unclipped his seatbelt and got out I tried to calm my breathing. This is what needed to happen. I just wasn’t sure how it was going to end.
Unclipping my belt and grabbing my shoes I got out of the car. The butterflies in my stomach were going wild. This talk was going to determine what happened between us. I wanted to trust him but I still had a little bit of doubt in my mind.
