Chapter 351
“I just think you’re giving up a lot for one guy p>
I didn’t want to spend our last day together talking about Jake. I also didn’t want things to get heated and we end up on bad terms. I would defend Jake to the hilt. “Not that it’s any of your business but I love him p>
“Ouch”. He grinned. “Guess that’s my chance really out the window p>
I rolled my eyes. He never had a chance to begin with. I didn’t see Ryan in that way I never have. We were friends nothing more nothing less.
“Should we get some tea?”. I asked.
“I’ll get it. Do you want some cake p>
“Yes please”. I smiled.
We talked for ages, drank multiple cups of tea and ate our weight in cake. I was sad that we wouldn’t get to do this anymore. He was leaving tomorrow, and I had no idea when I’d get see him again.
A yawn escaped my mouth as I checked my phone. It was almost 4 o’clock. We had been here for hours.
“Sorry if I’m boring you”. He smirked.
“You’re not”. I grinned.
“You want to get out of here p>
“And go where?”. The weather wasn’t any better. It was still raining heavily, the sky filled with dark clouds.
He shrugged. “I guess we picked a rubbish day to catch up p>
“At least we got to catch up and you didn’t stand me up this time. I would have been pissed if you left without saying goodbye p>
“Never shorty p>
“Should we head out? The weather isn’t getting any better p>
“Yeah, it is getting pretty late and I’ve still to finish packing p>
“I’m really going to miss you Ryan p>
“Same shorty. Who am I going to hit on now?”. He grinned.
“I’m sure all the girls will be falling at your feet”. I slipped my arms into my now dry jacket and pulled it on.
“Shame it wasn’t you p>
I rolled my eyes. “Promise we won’t lose touch and you won’t forget about me p>
“We won’t shorty I promise p>
By the time I got home Jake was already there. His truck parked in the drive. Slipping my shoes off I hung up my jacket and made my way into the living room.
He was sat on the couch, a beer in his hand watching the tv.
“Hey baby p>
“Hi”. I sat beside him.
“You, okay?”. He slipped his arm around my shoulders. “Did you have a good day p>
“Yeah”. I rested my head against his arm.
I was tired and didn’t feel up to going for dinner. I wanted to go for a bath and chill out for the night. That was all I had done recently. But it’s not as if I had anything else to do with my time. “You sure you’re, okay p>
“Just tired p>
“And p>
“Fed up”. I sighed.
“Is this because you have nothing to do p>
I chewed the inside of my cheek.
“I’ve told you it’s not always going to be like this. You’ll be going to college soon and if you want you can work a few days in the gas station p>
“I don’t know what I want that’s the problem. I’m going to shower before we head over to your parents”. I got to my feet.
“Yale’s always going to be a problem isn’t it p>
