"Bee, can I talk to you alone for a second?" Jake said getting up from the couch.
"Sure."
We both walked side by side out of the house and stood in front of Nathan's. I tried to sit on the car but keep on slipping so Jake sighed and hoisted me in his arms to make me sit on the bonnet of the car. I was not that much shorter than him but he still seemed strong enough to pick me up just like that.
I stared at his side profile and he turned his head to look at me. He's standing directly in front of me, between my legs which are folded into a criss-cross position. For a moment we just keep staring but he broke the gaze by looking at the sky instead.
"I'm sorry Bee, I should have just stayed away. I should have just thanked you for saving us and let it go after. I'm an asshole, I know."
I know. And yeah, you should've stayed away.
I remained quiet.
