Where do I begin? I've never written before, but now it seems like the right thing to do. He gave me this, this little pink typewriter. It was his grandmother's and he wanted me to have it, so how could I refuse? The answer is I couldn't, it's the s...
I slept easy that night, I was content. Jacob had erased all the fear and filled my mind with happiness. Not an easy task usually, but it was for him.
He always knew the right thing to say, he always knew how to make me feel better. Even when my mind way at its most fragile state.

The relentless beeping of my coffee maker startled me awake. Groaning I rollover and pull the blanket over my face. I really don't want to get out of bed but the beeping won't stop.
I sigh "I'm coming, I'm coming" I throw on a pair of slippers and make my way into the kitchen, rushing towards the confounded machine to turn it off. I press the button and the noise ceases to exist "I don't even remember setting you up last night" I mumble to myself, confused as to how it started itself.
Plopping down in a kitchen chair I close my eyes and rub the sleep out of them. Once I open my eyes I find a small sticky note in front of me on the table...
Good morning, I left early and turned on the coffee for you. I had a great time last night and I hope we can see each other again. Maybe tonight around seven? Give me a call or stop by Cocobean and let me know.
-Jacob
Abruptly I stand up, freaking out. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! Did we- did I?! No, no, no, no, no, how did I let this happen? Why can't I remember anything? Oh my god..." Making a mad dash towards the front door, I grab my coat and my house keys. I need to speak to him, I need to ask him what happened. But I can't offend him, if we did have- oh god. No, no think Ana, think! Calm down and think, what happened last night?
I remember Jacob coming over and helping my bruised cheek, I remember us going outside and talking on the balcony for a while, then I remember... I remember... nothing. why can't I remember? This is so frustrating!
After hailing a cab, it only takes five minutes to get to Cocobean, so luckily I wont have to wait long to figure out the truth. Hopefully my anxiety about the unknown doesn't offend him. He is a really great guy and I could definitely see us being together in the future. I just don't want to rush into things.
"Ana sweetie, how've you been?" I look up when I hear my name, its Jacob's sister Ella greeting me.
I smile at her and walk up to the counter "Hi, I've been okay... Is Jacob around I need to talk to him?"
"He's in the back, I'll go get him for you"
"Thanks Ella"
she giggles and winks at me "no problem, girls gotta look out for other girls right?"
I know my face is a bright shade of tomato red when Ella turned and walked away to get her brother. I'm so embarrassed and regretting coming here, I should have just called him or sent him a text. That would have been a lot easier than talking to him in person.
