Pulling my hand out of his I grabbed my coffee. She was going to freak at the mess.
“Oh Jake’s here-… what in the world happened in here?”. She asked setting her bags down. I didn’t know what to say. “Are you okay?”. She glanced at Jake.
“I’m okay. Where’s George?”. I asked taking a sip of my coffee.
“He’s at the store. Clean this mess up”. She pointed to the floor. “I’m going to freshen up”. As she left the kitchen I rolled my eyes.
“Yes ma’am”. I sighed.
“Babe”.
“I have to clean this up it’s probably best you go”. Sitting my coffee aside I started picking up the bigger pieces. My gran didn’t seem herself, she seemed crabbit and that wasn’t her. Hissing slightly I dropped the piece of ceramic plate.
“Don’t move”. He scalded grabbing my hand and holding it up. Wrapping it up in the dishcloth he slipped his arm around my waist.
“I’m fine it’s just a scratch”.
“A scratch that needs stitches. Let’s go”.
“I’m not going anywhere. I’m not even showered and my gran just got home”.
“Yes you are. I can have the doctor at my moms in 5. Let’s go”.
“Jake I can’t-..”
“Let’s go”. His tone left no room for an argument.
….
“I feel disgusting”. I hissed as he pushed open the front door to his moms house. “I haven’t even brushed my hair or brushed-….”.
“I’ve never seen you look more beautiful”. He whispered.
“You’re at it”. I sighed trying my hardest not to smile. I don’t know what it was about him. I always felt happy when he was around.
“Bed head looks good on you babe”. He winked.
“There she is”. Charlotte grinned. “Come in coffees on. Jeremy will be here soon. You look great sweetheart”.
I definitely didn’t. I was paranoid my breath smelled really bad. I was still in my pjs, I was not looking my best at all.
“Good to see you too mom”. Making a face he rolled his eyes.
“I see you all the time”. She hushed him. “Now how are you both doing, any further with the bond?”.
“Mom”. He sighed.
“We’re taking it slow”. I smiled. There was no point in putting off talking about it. It was going to happen sooner or later.
“That’s good honey but-…”
“Mom”.
“I’ll walk you out Jeremy”.
“Will you stop glaring at the floor”. I hissed causing his head to snap up, his eyes landing on mine. I grinned. “And stop talking to your mom like that”.
“She needs to mind her own business”. He huffed.
“Maybe”. I shrugged. It wasn’t a bad thing. I liked Charlotte, I liked that I knew she was always going to be there for us. She was someone I could talk to about this.
“You guys okay?”. She smiled walking back into the dining room.
She was flawless.
“Perfect”. I smiled slipping my hand into his.
“That’s good. Jake your dad wants you down at the training ground and you’ve to take Jack with you. Something about fences being pulled I don’t know”. Watching her I noticed she was fixing two cups.
“Got it”. Bringing my hand to his mouth he placed a kiss on my knuckles. “I’ll drop you off”.
“I was thinking Leah could stay, we could have a little catch up”. Charlotte placed a hot cup of coffee in front of me.
Not that I didn’t want that I just really wanted to shower and change out of my pjs.
“Mom”. He groaned.
“Okay, okay, sorry I spoke”. Sighing she disappeared out of the dining room. That didn’t sit well with me. She wasn’t doing anything wrong.
