It's not that complicated![ON HOLD]

Chapter 10

Ignoring pain doesn't make it hurt any less. You just prolong it

"And I win"I shout and do my happy dance
Aunt Caroline and I were playing Rock Paper Scissors to figure out who will have the last slice of pizza. And I the Rock Paper Scissors Master won.

I had spent the entire day with baby Kara while aunt Caroline left. She came back late in the afternoon and she brought pizza with her. See why I love her? We were watching Frozen with Kara when we both reached out for the last slice of pizza.

"You always win at this game, it's unfair" aunt C whines.
"Don't be a so loser aunt C. Man up" I joke at her.
"At least share a piece with me"
"Never" I say eating the whole slice of pizza with two bites.
"For that I want you to go to the shops and buy me donuts from Sally's Sweets " aunt Caroline says in her 'godmother voice'
"Really ?? You going to play like that? That's low of you aunt C" I say to her pouting.
The Sally's donut shop was a long walk from her house and she wanted me to walk all alone of because I won? This is so unfair.
"There's loose change on the kitchen counter, don't forget to buy my favorite" she shouts as she walks away from me and taking Kara with her.
"Maybe I might forget your favorite" I say teasing her.
"You wouldn't dare" she shouts back with a no nonsense voice.

I take my phone, earphones and the money. I might as well get this over and done with.
Sally's here I come.

While walking to the shops I was singing under my breath and lost in my own world when I suddenly heard a voice whisper 'Believer'  which was the name of the song I was listening to.

I take my earphones out and try to hear the whisper properly when I suddenly feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around so quickly that I almost broke my neck.
"Careful, we wouldn't want you to break that little neck of yours" a voice with a lil accent says.
And when I looked at the owner of the voice. I swear to Thor that my heart stopped beating and my core froze.

The guy in front of me was gorgeous!!
No scratch that he was beautiful!

God really takes his time when he sculpts other people hey, like this Greek god smiling down at him. He was that tall.

He has a light skin stone, dark brown eyes that could be easily mistaken for black, curly hair that wasn't quite African and pink plump lips. Did I mention he is biting the lower lip.
He looked African American, but his accent said something else.

Damn papi...

"You do know that staring is rude, right?" A voice snaps me out of my reverie.
I was staring. Way too long even.
"Not if the person doesn't mind" I answer without really thinking about it.
I almost choke on nothing when I really think about what I said.
"I mean I'm sorry....I didn't mean to stare"I laughing trying to releasing the tension.
"You're cute" the guy say checking me out.
"And you're yummy"Damn!! Why didn't I ever think when it came to this guy.

I thought Jake made me nervous, but noo! this guy frightened me and not in a bad. It didn't make sense but I was scared of him but not in a bad way. He made me feel...confident.

"Thanks" he chuckles lowly. I only just met this guy but I knew enough to tell he isn't much of a talker.
"I-I gotta go" I say thinking of  Sally's, it's late and they could close anytime. But I didn't move.
"Can I have your numbers, lala?" The guy ask with a low voice. The nickname gave me chills down my spine. That was new and I liked it.
"You just met me and I don't give my number to strangers" I say. It's not like i didn't wanna give him I just didn't want to give them out that easily. He can have my numbers anytime😉.
"If you give me your numbers we won't strangers no more" he says cockily with a raised eyebrow as if saying come with a better excuse.

We had unconsciously started walking and I only realized now when we reached Sally's.

"No can do buddy, I have enough friends"
"Who said I wanted us to be friends? I have enough of those myself" he say.

Wow! This guy is a straight talker..way too blunt.

I can never win with this guy can I? He was sorta like intimidating and brooding and I liked it. A lot.

No...no no no. My mind shouts

I can't be thinking of this guy right now. I just got out of a 'relationship' if that's what to call it with Jake. It would be moving on too fast.

Right? I mean it's only been a few days.

With that I gave the mysterious guy  wrong number because I couldn't help but feel like I'm cheating Jake by giving the guy my number.

It was stupid but I didn't know that yet

It's not like I'd ever see the guy again. I only babysit once in a few months so I'll be okay.

"I'm back" I shout when I open the door. I immediately wince when I notice Jack, aunt C's fiancée. He was sitting in one of the couches probably watching the news about the economy.

He was a manager at this other big company and he was always busy. Did I mention he didn't like it when aunt C and I shouted. He says it gives us wrinkles. Dramatic I know.

"Sorry uncle Jay" I smile at him.
"It's okay mumkin" he says calling me by the nickname he gave him.
"What you got in your hands? Woah let me guess?" He playfully puts his hand on his chin as if he is thinking really hard.
"Donuts??" He says
"Ofcoz...you know how cranky aunt C can get without this!! Momzilla I tell ya" I whisper to him
"I can hear you" a voice says

We all laugh at aunt C.

I really like my godmother and godfather. They truly are the best.

Later that night I texted Becca telling her about what really went down between Jake and I but I left the part about me bumping into Brian after leaving them hanging. The encounter was strange but not important.

Becca was so livid. She also couldn't believe that the cute Jake was capable of doing such. I guess people who do the worst are the people we don't expect it from.

Though the last person that was supposed to be on my mind was Jake, I couldn't help but think about the mysterious guy I gave wrong numbers too.

Deep down I regret not giving him my numbers.
