Chapter 11: Hello Again

Jacob's POV

Total mood changer, that rude girl is my mother's bestfriend daughter and the baby I stuck myself to. What a coincidence. Must have seem out of character for me to have left but I guess I didn't want that rude girl to ruin the mood I'm in because of my princess.

I went to my room but i wasn't really tired so I climbed up my balcony to the roof. This is a really nice house and the view from our roof shows us the entire neighborhood. I was just staring up at the sky when I heard a door close so I climbed down onto my balcony and entered my room.

I opened my room door and look out into the space that we so called a hall but in my opinion it's too big to be considered as such. Then again what do I know. I shrugged my shoulders and was about to make my way back to the balcony when my bathroom door opened.

I grabbed the person by both hands pressing them against the wall, they or should I say she let out a scream.

I looked at her face and it was the rude girl who I now know is named Ashanti. She stared at me wide eye.

"Well, hello again" I say as I released her hands

"Hi... Again" she answers

"What are you doing in here, better yet on my bathroom?" I ask

"Well, I wanted to pee--"

"There are bathrooms on the main floor" I cut her off

"Well I was told I could use any so--"

"You've had to pass plenty of other rooms before you reach mine" I cut her off again

"Can you just let me finish talking" she says frustratedly.

"Fine" I say "Well, aren't you gonna talk" I say again

"You're still pressed against me" she comments. Then I realized that I am still infact pressed against her as she is against the wall. Hmm, I rather like this pos...

"Oh, I'm sorry As you were saying" I say as I remove my self from her and clear my head of those thoughts.

"Was told I could use any bathroom I'd like to and so I decided I would but then remembered that I wanted to talk to you so your sister told me which was your room. When I entered I didn't see you so I checked and realise this is the bathroom, then I remembered I still had to pee so I did and then here we are" she rambles

Wow, she's even more gorgeous the second time. How's that possible. Too bad I'm a dad and I'm trying to rekindle with the mother of my child.

"Okay, so what did you wanted to talk to me about" I asked

"I wanted to apologize" she states

"For?" I asked with a raised eye brow

"Well the first time we met, I was an ass. You were trying to help and I had no right to go off the way I did and you didn't even deserve it. See I was having an awful day. This guy I really really liked for about 2 months finally asked me out on a date and I told him no. He wanted to know why because he thought I liked him which I told him I did, so he insisted on knowing the reason I turned him down. I told him about me moving and then he said he doesn't do long distance and yeah pretty much disappointed my heart. I couldn't even talk to anyone about it because no one knew, all thanks to my family who would've done something to make him run away. So all that ranting was stuck inside. Then I started my period that morning. Andddd my parents left the party planning all on me because they had 'other' stuff to do. My siblings were to help but they went MIA and no one was answering their phones. So I was overwhelmed, moody, annoyed, irritated, frustrated and I exploded. Now I feel really bad because you were only trying to help." she rambled on

I smiled and I don't even know why I smiled but hearing all that now my heart soften and I am no longer hurt by it. I just kept staring and I could take my eyes away from her. I'm screwed because I just found her a million times more attractive, I'm such a weird person. She starts blushing and then a laughed a bit

"Well" I started but was cut off as she said..

"I'm sorry"

"I forgive you, its fine really. I'm over it." I said

she smiled then she blushed again

"why are you blushing?" I asked

she just looked away. "Ugh, I was rambling or ranting and I'm sorry again. But then you keep staring at me also" she says with her head down.

"You are absolutely beautiful" I say as I held her chin up. Her cheeks redden even more than before.

"Th-thank you. I should go now" she says

"Okay. I'll see you around gorgeous" she blushes once more and left closing the door behind her.

I'm so screwed. I have a crush on my new neighbour, my mother's bestfriend daughter and my feelings for my ex, the mother of my child, is resurfacing.

Yet, happy is still an understatement.

"Jacob you are so screwed." Jaime walked in with a smirk on her face. I land face forward on my bed sighing loudly.

"I know" I replied

"I mean go for it. Not like You and Zoey are together or whatever" she says

"Actually--"

"I knew it! I knew it, I knew it. You little ass I saw the way you looked at Zoey yesterday and I just knew you were feeling her again." she states matter of factly. I just sigh.

"what happened?" she asked

"We kissed and we're gonna talk about it after the banquet. I might wanna get back together with her" I answered

"what! Heck no. She broke you and treated you like dirt. She doesn't deserve you, don't do this to yourself. AGAIN." Jaime pleads and she's right but it ain't about me anymore.

"Maybe she changed and it's not just for me but for Zavia. I wanna be a family for her" I say

Jaime sighs

"Well I really don't have a say in this then, seems your mind has been made up" she says while sitting on my bed.

"I'm attracted to Ashanti and I want to make her mine."

I might as well get it all out there.
