Jakes guide to flirting

Start from the beginning
                                        

"What is your idea relationship?" I asked as I leaned against the wall, crossing my arm.

"Uh I donno-" Hailey laughs looking up from the pan.

"Do you like weird guys?" I ask

"What's even brought this up??" She asks confused.

"Sean told me I'm weird.." I frown. "Oh- uh well I'm sure he didn't mean it in a bad way. You know that right?"

"Yes I know but-"

"Jake you are literally one of the coolest and talented people I know. You have an ambition that is constantly being admired and envied by everyone. You have a voice that screams pure passion and that's not something found common anymore." Hailey says ask she looks directly at me.

"Want me to sing for you sometime?" I laugh, a smile creeping across my face.

"I guess I'll hear it anyways on Monday" she smiles.

"Bet" I grin happily.

"Glad you feel better. You look better when you're happier" Hailey says returning to the popcorn.

I'm happy when I'm with you is what I wanted to say. "Do you like happy people?" Is what I ask instead.

Hailey considers this for a moment before answering. "People look better when they are happier, doesn't necessarily mean I only like people when they are happy."

I already knew she was going to answer like this, she had always been that type of person. I fought back the small smile as she laughed.

"Well what people do you like though? Romantic wise." I ask again.

"Huh. I don't really care I guess..ambitious people I guess?" Hailey says as she tended to the popcorn.

She stops speaking and I take this as time for me to talk. "I like strong people—not like physically strong but mentally. People who have been through a lot and still choose to be kind. I like people who try their best to stand up for others. People who aren't scared to be their true self. Maybe someone who has a nice voice."

Hailey Looks up, staring at me once more and for a moment, I believe she finally understands, I like her not anyone else.

"Uhhh what do you have against Sean?" Hailey asks, sounding genuinely concerned.

Of course this is Hailey, managing to get the completely wrong person.

"W-what??" I splutter out. "You sure you're not over Daisy? You seemed to just describe her." Hailey says.

"I- Hailey- Daisy doesn't even sing??" I say, hitting my hand against my head.

"Oh. Oops my bad" Hailey says simply. "Oh my fucking god-" I mumble under my breath. It's crazy to think Hailey could be so blind yet so cute at the same time. It's also crazy that I'm the one calling her blind.

"Are you describing uh Stacy or something???" Hailey asks.

I Stare at her silently as she genuinely doesn't see what's wrong. "No- no- Hailey- okay firstly I don't even know her properly so how the hell would I be describing her- and AGAIN- she doesn't sing!" I laugh.
