One last try / Jenna Ortega

Chapter 32

Leo's Pov:
(Tuesday morning 6:20 am)

i exited Niki's room and walked down the hall, i wanted to do something that i thought was necessary to be done.. I stopped in front of my room to lightly push the door open and check on Jenna, she was still sound asleep and she had switched sides facing the other way, a cute smile sneaked on my lips as i blushed, i closed the door leaving, i went downstairs and grabbed my keys,

i left the house and started walking up to Jenna's place, i felt like i had to do this, i reached up to her house and stepped on the welcome mat, i never get nervous.. Or shy, but i feet like i was meeting my girlfriend's family.. And maybe i was.. I don't know what i'm thinking, there's no way she would be my partner,

i decided to end this overthinking and finally knock on the door, i waited as my fingertips went numb and my heart started pounding, soon enough the door opened wide and i saw a woman that looks so much like Jenna, it was fascinating, i faked a small smile as she she grinned widely,

"can i help you?" she spoke with manners in a sweet voice, leaning in closer towards me, i noticed lips, freckles, jaw, so many similarities, "good morning, i'm Leo and-" i started to introduce myself as i greeted her, "omg come in!!" she interrupted my ranting with joy, her expression lightened as she invited me in, stepping to the side so i can enter, does Jenna talk about me?

i walked in their house, it was neat, i saw two girls sitting in the living room on the couch, both with their phones, and they both resembled to Jenna as well, they all looked like each other, or had details that led to one another, most siblings look nothing like each other, it was nice, the woman that i would assume is her mom led me to the kitchen where she was cooking breakfast,

i was walking up to the table when a little child sprinted in front of me around the age of 8-9, he was a dirty blond little guy, and of course he looked a little like Jen, that caused me to smile as i took a seat, "Cash don't ruin the house!" her mom cautioned, the kid came running back in, and stopped right in front of me bouncing on his toes, energetic as every kid his age would be, "i'm Cash!" he exclaimed while introducing himself to me,

he reminded me of when i was young, i started to wonder where all of that bliss and happiness went, where and when i lost it, i brushed it off extending my hand that was the size of his chest, "Leo" i smiled squinting my eyes, his own smile reached up to his ears, as he shook my hand with his tiny fingers,

he took one last look at me, and noticed my scar.. he was staring at it, i was waiting for the child to ask, but he didn't, instead he lifted his small hand on my face, and glided his little finger tips on the creases of my burn, he slightly smirked then ran off, it was sudden, i grinned, in disbelief, they don't only look like Jenna, they act like her too..

"i'm sorry about that he's hyper this morning, as usual" her mother apologized while going back and forth, between the table and the stove, setting waffles and bacon on the surface, "help yourself honey" she insisted with a smile placing more food on the table, and a plate in front of me, i nodded so i wouldn't be rude, and took bacon with some scrambled eggs form the center,

i plopped them in my plate, she quickly joined in with a cup of coffee, "would you like some coffee?" she asked while taking a sip of hers, "no thank you miss Ortega" i smiled, while taking a bite of my food, "Jenna slept over at my house, she's currently still asleep" i assured, which is the reason i came over here, to let her mom know so she wouldn't worry..

"oh i know" she conceded, while spreading some jam on her bread and biting into it, i paused from scratching my fork on the plate, and looked at her, she stopped what she was doing as well, "she told she's going to find you last night and i figured she stayed over.. Although it would've been nice to notify me, but i'm more than pleased that you came over to let me know, it was no need honey"
