GoodReadUnlock the content CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE what he was up to. Biting back my smile I placed my hand on his knee.
"I appreciate the thought Jake. I loved that you planned tonight but maybe next tmake it low key and not so expensive".
"You deserve the world princess"...
"Maybe". I shrugged.
Placing his hand on top of mine he brought it to his mouth placing a kiss on my knuckles. "Cheeseburger, fries and extra pickle?".

"I won't be long"....
While he was away gettingfood it gavea chance to go through my phone. I had never replied to Tommy and I usually deleted the message straight away but tonight I opened it. 'Hope you're missing;)' Attached to the message was a photo of him and a random girl sucking face. Tommy was shirtless and the girl had next to nothing on.
Did he think that bothered me? Tommy was the furthest thing from my mind. Moving away showedwho he really was. A two timing rat that didn't deserve me. I hate that I couldn't see it sooner. How many times did he cheat? How many people knew he was playing me? Deleting the message I did what I should have done weeks ago. I blocked his number and deleted him from all my social media.
I caught sight of Jake as I put my phone away. The butterflies erupted in my stomach Tommy completely forgotten about.
"No strawberry milkshake babe so I got you a coke instead". Passingthe bag he got in closing the door behind him.
"Thank you". He had no idea how much I appreciated him. I hadn't been playing fair with his past, overreacting over the girls giving him a hard time.
"Don't thankprincess. I need to make sure my girls fed". He smirked grabbing my hand and lacing our fingers together. "For tonight Jake".
"It wasn't the best was it". He laughed.
"It wasn't". I laughed. "Better make sure the next ones better". Grinning at him I lifted our hands and kissed his knuckles.
It was just different with him. It was new but it was easy being around him. I could be myself. I felt settled with him.
"How about we end the night with a walk along the beach?". He asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"The nights ending?". Chewing my bottom lip I felt the heat rise to my cheeks. I didn't want it to end and when it did I wanted us to be together.
"Doesn't have to babe. How about I take you to mine, we stick a film on and chill out. Sound good?". "Yeah".
I finished my McDonald's before we got home. I couldn't wait any longer. "I'm stuffed". I groaned rubbing my hand over my stomach.
"That's what I like to see". He grinned. "Are you going to school tomorrow?". Pulling into his driveway it was weird seeing his house in darkness. I would need to remember and text my gran just to let her know I was okay and staying at Jake's. "I have to". I couldn't miss anymore days. Even if I didn't go to university I still wanted to graduate. I hadn't heard from Ryan either so it would be good to see him.
"I'll pick you up after".
"Okay". Taking off my seatbelt I opened the door and got out. I was glad the rain had finally stopped. Entering his house I kicked off my shoes loving the feel of the cold tiles against my feet. Placing his hand on the lower of my back he placed a kiss on the side of my head. "Pick a movie I've just got to sort something".
So I did. I got myself comfy on the sofa and had insidious paused waiting for him to cback. It was still early only just past 8 o'clock. Our date might not have been great at the start but it was turning out pretty well. We didn't need fancy or expensive. "Do you want anything?". He asked.
