My Pill

Chapter 2

That afternoon I left the hospital and went home to my apartment downtown. My brother helped me move around but I was going to be on crutches for a few weeks. At least I could work from home.

I'm a writer for a few magazines, writing advice columns. It's usually young girls asking for advice on confidence or romance. I try my best to answer although I lack experience in social situations. Usually I use the advice my mother always gave me because it helped me growing up.

When I arrived home I laid down in bed and checked my phone for any important notifications. One caught my eye.

'Hey it's Jake. I'd really love to talk to you again. Wanna meet up somewhere?'

I had given him my number as he asked before he left, I never thought he would actually text me. My heart was racing and there was no hesitation replying back.

'I won't be walking very well for a few weeks but you can come over here if you want. I could use some company."

I noticed myself smiling as a responded back. He just made me so enlightened. Jake agreed to stopping by so I gave him my address.

Around 8 o'clock I heard the knock I was eager to hear on my door. Slowly, I limped over to the door an opened it. There he was. It was weird having this stranger in my house, but it felt normal having him around.

Jake smiled and greeted me with a husky, "hey".

"come in. Make yourself at home."

I opened the door wider and shuffled to the side so I could lean against the wall. He immediately noticed me struggling and offered to assist me. I needed it so I put my arm around his shoulders and he half-carried me to my bed where he laid me down carefully.

"sorry for being such a buzz kill." I giggled.

Jake gave me a grin. His teeth were perfect. He looked beautiful when he smiled.

"sorry for making you such a buzz kill." he replied back.

We both let out a laugh and then I yawned. It was a long day and I was tired but I knew I couldn't fall asleep on Jake.

"what do you want to do?" I asked him. He replied with the basic answer of, "I don't know," but followed it with, "tell me about yourself, Anna."

"Umm what do you want to know? I'm not very interesting." Wow what a loser I felt like.

"Come on, you are the most interesting person I've ever met and I barely know you," Jake told me.

I felt myself blushing.

"Lets see. I'm originally from Destin, Florida, but I moved here to study journalism. Umm, hmm..." was I really that boring? damn. "I really like music, especially the piano."

"Do you play?" he asked me, genuinely interested.

"I used to. I was actually very good. There just isn't room in a New York City apartment for a grand piano," I answered.

I noticed Jake staring right in my Eyes.

"Your eyes are absolutely stunning," Jake said.

WHAT DID HE JUST SAY? Now I was really blushing and there was no hiding it. I had no words so I ended up whispering an almost inaudible 'thank you', then looked down at my hands. I sat myself up so I was fully facing him now.

"I can say the same for you. Your eyes look like the ocean," I told Jake.

I knew what was coming next, I could feel it.

Jake looked at my lips and I looked at his. Then we both stared into each others breathtaking eyes. Then he did it. Jake leaned in and kissed my lips sweetly. I kissed him back and we were in perfect sync. He put his hand at the back of my neck pulling me closer while I put my arms around his neck. This was so magical. I pulled away and looked into Jake's ocean eyes.

"sorry," Jake told me. Why was he apologizing?

"What no, I liked it. That was really sweet."

We both blushed and I leaned in once more kissing him lightly. How did I gain the courage to do something like that? My heart was beating out of my chest for Jake as we just stared at each other for a few seconds.

"Where have you been all my life?" he asked, not needing an answer.

I shrugged and replied with, "I don't know. Waiting for you I guess."

Jake moved over next to me and we put our heads back on the pillows behind us. We just laid there, talking about life and dreams we each had. No kissing. No touching. Just admiring.

When Jake left I couldn't help but feel explosions in my heart. I never felt this strongly about anyone I just met. What will this relationship grow to?
