Promise

Chapter 18

Jay stayed a little longer and we cuddled on the couch watching TV. When my dad came home Jay moved farther away from me.

"Jay, what a surprise," my dad said. "I thought you'd be at practice."

I looked at him and he had a suspicious look on his face.

"My leg is still messed up a little so I didn't go," Jay said.

"Amore, when you have company I would appreciate a heads up," Dad said turning his attention to me.

"Sorry, he surprised me," I said. "Is that my food?" I stared hungrily at the bag of food and shake my dad was holding.

"Yep, burger and a large shake just for you." He walked over to me and placed my food on the coffee table. His eyes darted to the necklace on my neck. "Where'd that come from?"

"Jay got it for me."

My dad looked at Jay who smiled charmingly.

"You know her birthday isn't until another couple of weeks right?" Dad said.

"I know and I already have other gifts I plan on getting her, sir," Jay said. "I don't need a special occasion to buy her things. She can get spoiled seven days a week if she wants."

I couldn't help but smile. My dad, however just shrugged.

"I guess you're right about that," he replied. "Amore, I take it you don't want to hang out with me anymore."

"Why don't you watch tv with us," I suggested.

Dad gave me a knowing look and shook his head.

"No, no I'll let you two have your time together," he said. "I'll be in my room if you need me. My door will be open too." He narrowed his eyes at Jay and my face heated up in embarrassment.

After he left I opened the bag of food and ate some fries.

"You want some?" I offered a fry to Jay.

"Nah, I'm good," he said. "I want some of you." He inched closer to me.

"My dad is here calm down." I giggled and took a bite of my burger. It was so difficult to eat with only one arm functioning. Sauce from the burger ended up dripping onto my shirt.

"Looks like you need to take that off," Jay said.

I rolled my eyes playfully and dabbed at the small stain with a napkin.

"You just want an excuse to take my clothes off," I said.

"So." Jay smiled and lifted my shirt up. I swatted his hand away.

"Seriously stop."

"Let's go to my house."

I gave Jay a look and moved my gaze down to his pants.

"You really are horny huh?" I laughed.

"I don't see how that's funny," Jay said.

"Well it is to me especially since my arm is broken. I would look funny having sex like that."

Jay chuckled and nodded.

"That would look kind of funny," he said.

"Well you're the one who broke it so don't expect to get any from me anytime soon."

"And I'll just get some from someone else then."

I glared at him.

"That's not funny," I said.

"Who said I was joking?" Jay said.

I sighed and put my burger back in the bag. All he ever did was ruin my appetite and my mood in general.
