Thank you! xx 

Jeremy had dropped Elizabella back at her friend's flat while he went back to his own flat to change because apparently where they were going was not formal in the least and they would of stood out to much dressed how they were.

Jeremy decided to just put on a pair of dark jeans and a white tee shirt along with his boots. He was happy to be getting some use out of them. It was still to early to head back to get Elizabella.

Jeremy sat down on his couch and skimmed through the channels on his television. Nothing seemed to keep his attention. He was getting anxious again. He hardly knew Elizabella yet he was finding it hard to function without her being near him.

He hated feeling this way but deep down he knew he actually loved the feeling more than anything else. Jeremy's thoughts were interrupted by a soft knock on his door. He wasn't expecting anyone.

Jeremy made his way to his door and opened it without bothering to look through the peep hole. He came face to face with Mrs.Davis, his neighbor. "Oh hello, Mrs.Davis." Jeremy said politely. She smiled up at him sweetly. "Hello to you too Jeremy. I have made you some more of the cookies you like." She said kindly while holding up a plate full of cookies.

Jeremy really did enjoy her bake goods and would never deny them. "Wow, thank you so much! You didn't have to do that." Jeremy said while giving her a bright smile. She of course blushed. "Oh hush, it was no trouble at all. Besides my husband is not very fond of sweets so it's nice to bake for someone who actually enjoys them." She said while handing him the plate.

"Well thank you so much Jill. I will most certainly dig into these. They will not last long." He said in a almost flirty manner. He knew she loved it when he called her by her first name. "Oh Jeremy no need to thank me." She gushed while her cheeks turned bright red.

He wasn't sure what else he should say and he felt rude just closing the door. "Would you like to come in for a few minutes?" He offered awkwardly. "Oh sure! I hope I'm not interrupting anything" She said while stepping past Jeremy in to his flat.

They made their way to his kitchen and he placed the plate of cookies on the marble counter top. "Would you like something to drink?" Jeremy offered while grabbing a cookie. "Actually I'll have some tea but here sit down. I'll make some for us." She stated. She knew her way around his kitchen simply because she cleans his house a few times a month and occasionally does a little grocery shopping for him.

Jeremy appreciated her help. She reminded him of his mother and he enjoyed her company. "Thanks Jill and wow these cookies are delicious, like always!" Jeremy said with his mouth still full. She just chuckled in response.

Once the tea was ready she brought over two cups and sat down next to him. They sat together silently while sipping on their tea. "So how has work been for you Jeremy?" She asked. "It's been good actually, busy." Jeremy said while looking over at her.

Jeremy noticed the small wrinkles in her face but other than that she looked good. She took good care of herself and Jeremy knew she must of been very good looking when she was his age. She may have been in her mid forties but her eyes showed innocence and youth.

Jeremy realized he was blatantly staring so he quickly looked away and took another sip of his tea. Jill noticed his staring and misunderstood it for something else. She placed her hand on his thigh. "How come you don't have a girlfriend Jeremy?" She asked softly.
