"Enjoy it". He whispered placing a kiss on my forehead. "And relax this isn't a bad thing. It's kinda nice not being at each others throats".
He was right about that. I smiled at him before leaning up and placing a kiss on the tip of his nose. "Can we go?". The rain was getting heavier and neither of us had a jacket. "How about I take you for a burger?". He slid his hands down my arms before slipping his right hand into mine and lacing our fingers together.
"And dirty fries?". I grinned.
"Maybe". He pulledcloser as we walked back to his truck. "We just need to nip hfirst".
The car ride back hwas quiet. Both enjoying the silence and being in each others company. I was happy. Not that I wasn't happy before it just felt different. My heart felt full.
"Gave anymore thought on what you want to do once you graduate?".
And there goes my happiness. I hadn't really gave it much thought recently. It used to be all I could think about and now, now I put it to the back of my mind.

I threw it away for Jake.
"Do you want to go to uni?". He asked.
"No". I gave him a small smile. "It's too late now anyway".
"Did you want to go to Yale?".
"Yes". I couldn't lie, didn't see much point in it when he knew that's where I would have went.
"I see"....
"Can we not do this?". I asked. I could already feel the atmosphere changing.
"Do what?".
"You know what I'm talking about. We've had such a good morning and I don't want to ruin it".
"You gave up the opportunity to go to Yale for me. If you really want to go I'm sure we can sort something out".
"I wanted to go but now I don't. My life is here, my his here". I paused already feeling the butterflies in my stomach at what I was about to say. "You're here". I whispered.
"I love that you think that princess but I don't want you blamingfor giving up the chance to go. I don't want you to regret it later down the line".
"But I won't".
"You're not going because of me. I didn't have the right to make you do that. Truth is I was scared. I didn't want you so far away from me. It would have drovecrazy".
"I get that now". I leaned over taking his hand in mine. "Don't getwrong I was tempted and even got as far as being accepted but chose not I to go! chose you. You didn't forceto stay here Jake. Deep down I knew I wouldn't be able to handle the distance". "I want you to be happy babe". He brought my hand to his mouth placing a kiss on my knuckles. "That's all I'll ever want". "I'm happy". I whispered.

I was finding it hard to keep my eyes open. I had been sat on the couch for almost half an hour while he did what he had to do. A yawn escaped my mouth as I stretched out my arms before making myself more comfortable. Jake's house was always warm making it that little bit easier to fall asleep. Alanna had yet to textback. Probably nursing a hangover or still sleeping.
"Sorry baby. You good to go?".
Rubbing a hand over my face I shook my head no. "Can we skip lunch and go out for dinner instead?".
He grinned before lifting my legs and taking the space. "Can't be bothered?". He asked.
"Too comfy". I yawned.
"How about you pick something to watch and I'll sort you out with ssnacks?". He passedthe tv remote.
I frowned. "Are you not staying?".
"I need to nip out and see my dad. Savesdoing it later. You can cif you want?". Again I struggled to concentrate on what he was saying.
Right now I couldn't think of anything other than the soft circles he was drawing on the bare skin of my ankles.
"I think it's best I stay here". I diverted e my gaze to my hands. For sreason I felt too embarrassed to look at him. Ndidn't understand how to deal with what I was feeling. I feared I'd lose control and make an arse of myself.
