Never Let Me Go | ✔️

13.

Thirteen.

Jake and I went to his house, and he got Chinese takeout for dinner.

While slurping up his Lo Mein, Jake said, "Let's watch a movie."

We went over to the couch and turned on the TV.

"What do you wanna watch, babe?" He asked.

I blushed at his word choice. We've gone on a few dates, but he's never called me babe before.

"Finding Nemo!" I screamed.

"You're so cute," he said, playing the movie.

He put his arm around me, and I cuddled in.

Halfway through the movie, I looked over to see him falling asleep. He was so cute.

I leaned over and kissed him. He woke up, and kissed me back.

"Do you want some popcorn?" He asked.

"Sure!" I said.

"I'll be right back," he smiled. He kissed me quickly one more time then went into the kitchen.

Suddenly, I got a text from Liam.

Liam: Hey, do you need a ride home tonight?

Me: Sure, thanks so much!

Liam: What time should I pick you up?

Me: 11:30

Liam: Okay

Jake walked back in, holding a big bowl of popcorn.

"Hey, on the way home we have to stop by my cousin's house. He has some shoulder pads I need to borrow," he said.

"Oh, it's ok. Liam's giving me a ride home."

His face tensed up.

"Don't worry babe, he's just a friend. He's like my brother."

"Okay," he said, putting his arms around me. "Now, where were we?"
