JORDAN:
I yarn unlocking the door to my house. I was a little sad I couldn't take my puppy Lex with me, but I knew my mom would start questioning things.
I also didn't want to leave Jonah—he was trying to keep me hostage, but at the end... I had no choice to return home.
It was annoying because my mom wasn't even home tonight, so I didn't get what was the big deal.
When the door opened, I saw Alexis sitting at the table.
My heart made a funny feeling, as I closed the door behind me.
"Hey", she says.
"Hi", I say back walking over to the table.
Alexis was sitting and working on some papers. It looked like files and documents.
"How was school?", she asks me.
I began to take off of my coat-jacket and shoes.
"Eh, school was regular", I say as I took a seat at the table.
"That's good—want me to move my things over?", Alexis asks picking up some of her folders.
"Oh no it's okay—I'm soon going in my room", I say to her.
"Oh okay cool", she says.
There was a peak of awkward silence...
"How was work?", I ask her to carry the conversation.
"Same ole—I guess", she tells me, "Nothing much to it".
I nod...
"That's cool—that's nice", I say feeling the conversation coming to an end.
"Oh your mom cooked by the way", she tells me.
"Eh I already ate—I grabbed something on the way home", I lied.
Alexis just nods..
"Well cool then", she smiles then looks back at her papers.
My eyes were still on her as I just watched her. It's been a while since I really seen her, yet sat down with her. My eyes wandered every visible inch of her. Her hair was in a neat up top bun, revealing her crisp tape-up. She was still in her button down white shirt which I assumed was her work attire.
Her eyes were focused on her papers, but then suddenly they glanced up at me—
I shyly looked away, feeling nervous. I haven't felt this nervous around her in a while.
Finally my eyes looked back at hers just to see that her eyes were still on me.
She gave me an awkward smile, and I returned one back.
