"You got it boss". He winked as Jake led us to an empty table.
Boss? I was uncomfortable. Not because of Jake but Jessica wouldn't stop staring.
"Your hearts beating so fast. Relax Leah and ignore her". As he slid his hand on top of mine I pulled it back.
"It's easy for you to say you're not the one she's glaring at". Sighing I smiled when Gregg placed our drinks on the table. "I've never had someone hateas much as she does. She doesn't even know me". "Wantto say something?". As he made a move to get up I gripped his hand. He didn't need to cause a scene.
"She's hatesbecause of you". I sighed. "Did you date?". I hoped he would be honest with me.
"I wouldn't say we dated". Scratching the back of his head he took a drink. "She knows I'm not interested in her and I'll never be interested again".

As Gregg placed our food on the table I couldn't wait to dig in. It smelled delicious. Digging my fork into the fries I shoved them right into my mouth.
Holy Jesus! He was right.
"Told you". He chuckled.
"Hi Leah". Holly smiled as she approached us.
Quickly chewing the food I had in my mouth I took a drink and smiled. "Hey Holly, how are you?".
"I'm good, I'm good. I just wanted to pop over and say hello". Taking a glance at her table I noticed Jessica wasn't there. "I know you two don't get on but I hope that doesn't mean we can't be friends". "Of course we can be friends and I don't have an issue with Jessica, it's the other way around".
"Oh I know but I'm sure she'll caround".
"Holly". Jessica yelled.
"Guess that's my queue". She half smiled. "Catch you later".
"She's a sweet girl". Picking up my burger I took a bite. This was even better than the fries. I had to take note and cback here soon.
"Holly's a sweetheart but Jessica has a big influence over her".
Frowning I stopped eating. Was he trying to tellsomething? "Just be cautious babe! Girls can be mean". He didn't need to tellsomething I already knew. I always kept my circle small and I wasn't planning on changing that. "Noted".
"Survived your first week here I see. How are you feeling?".
"Barely survived". I laughed. "But if I'm honest I feel good. It's not quite like hjust yet but I'm sure it will be soon".
"I have a feeling you're exactly where you belong". Winking athe pushed his empty plate to the side.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFinishing off my burger I pushed my plate to the side and grabbed my coke. "Maybe". I smiled. "I actually quite like it". I confessed.
"You'll begin to love it. You finished?". He asked.
Nodding my head I slipped my hand into my bag and pulled out my purse. Gregg said it was on the house but I at least had to leave a tip. "Put that away princess. It's already been taken care of". As he stood I followed suit. "Fancy a walk along the beach?". He asked.
How could I say no to that? The beach was after all my favouritem I place to be. Shaking my head yes I couldn't hide my grin. Tonight had been a really good night.
"Tonight was fun Jake. Thank you".
As we walked along the beach I Ve m stopped to take my shoes off. I wanted to dip my toes in the water. Dumping my bag on top of my shoes I walked closer to the sea. "So you wouldn't be against doing it again?". "Are you askingout again Jake Taylor?". I smirked feeling the water wash over my feet. There was no better feeling.
"Maybe". He shrugged.
"Then maybe I'd say yes". Feeling his presence behinda gasp escaped my mouth as he gently placed his hands on my shoulders.
This felt right, he felt right.
