My offer on the house got accepted later that day when Jesse was in a strange mood.
It's now three days later and I'm fully moved in and just about finished decorating. I cracked on so it's done really quick. Jesse has still been a bit strange but I don't know why.
He helped with my moving but he doesn't seem himself and I know Jesse and I know something is definitely wrong.

This is my house and the theme flows through the whole house

This is my house and the theme flows through the whole house.
I send the photo to Jesse and I'm awaiting a reply.
I decide to curl up in a blanket on my couch and watch some Netflix on tv.
My first night in my newly decorated home and I'm alone.
this is a great house warming party. Not.
My phone buzzes.
It's Jesse.

Jesse
Cool

Delilah
Wtf is up with u?

Jesse
Nothin

Delilah
Look Jesse I've known you for ages what the hell is up? You can tell me anything!

Jesse
Can I come over?

Delilah
Yeah okay, see u in a bit

Jesse
Right yeah bye

He's acting so weird and off with me.

There is a knock at the door, must be Jesse.
I open the door to see him stood there, Marcus and Lucia as well.
"Oh hi" I say. I wasn't expecting Marcus and Lucia as well, I mean I don't have an issue with them being here.
Jesse just walks in and brushes my shoulder on his way past me.
Marcus and Lucia step inside.
"Hi" Marcus says hugging me.
"Hi. What's up with him?" I say referring to Jesse.
"I was about to ask you the same" Marcus shrugs.
"Hi, Lucia right?" I question.
"Yes hi!" She says hugging me.
"Thank you for approaching her in the club that night" Marcus says smiling at me.
"Ah it's nothing" I say closing the front door.
Jesse has found my couch and is slouched on it.
"I'll go get some alcohol from my kitchen" I say wandering off as Marcus and Lucia take a seat.
When I'm looking through the alcohol I hear someone behind me.
I know it's Jesse
"Yes Jess?" I say without turning around.
"I owe you an explanation" he says grabbing my wrist and turning me around.
"Right go on I'm listening" I say folding my arms.
"I'm sorry, I've been a dick but it's just" he says looking to the floor.
"It's just I'm super stressed, my ex has been giving false stories about me to the press and we have some big games coming up and the training is tough and the boys" he says looking in my eyes.
"That bitch. Why is she still trying to stay relevant? You broke up two years ago" I say rolling my eyes.
"And what about the boys?" I ask unfolding my arms.
"Well they keep pestering me about you and me, they're doing my fucking head in" he says shaking his head at the last bit.
"Ignore them" I say smiling.
"Let's forget all that tonight and have a laugh" I say grabbing a bottle of alcohol.
Jesse laughs scrunching his eyes.
He throws his arm around me as we walk into the living room where Marcus and Lucia are.
"So are you two?" Lucia asks.
"No but they may as well be" Marcus laughs.
"We're just best friends" I say opening the bottle.
Jesse nods in agreement.
