One week later...
I sat at a small table in an Italian cafe across from Bradley, he was amazing. His personality was so interesting, and I could always talk to him about anything.
The best thing was that he didn’t pressure me into being anything more than close friends. I liked him, I genuinely like him, but as a brother.
When I looked into his eyes I saw that glint of lust and love that told me he wanted to be more, much more.
I wanted so desperately to be more, but I could not. I knew I needed to get over Jacob, but while doing that I needed to be true to myself. Using Bradley to get over Jacob when I didn’t have those feeling for him would be wrong on so many levels.
Looking up from my soup I laughed because I knew Bradley just told me a joke, but I was withdrawn.
I’d been withdrawn lately, all these emotion running through me and I didn’t like it. Why could you not just cut off all of your emotions and we could all live in harmony?
Because, it’s like that’s why Lea I thought to myself. I swished my spoon around in the bowl and I heard the door bell ring signaling that someone just walked in.
Of all the people in this town really?
Jacob freaking Cooper and his freaking posy walk in like they’re hot shit.
His gaze sweeps over the store, girls swoon of course at his face. I could not be more disgusted with myself to say that I once did the same thing.
Our eyes locked and like clockwork that same charming smirk appeared on his face then he saw Bradley and glared. Luckily, Bradley’s back was to him and he was currently directing his attention to finishing his sandwich.
For a second I though Jacob was coming to our table then he turned abruptly with his gang and walked to a table full of my old friends. Sitting down, all of his friends linked with a girl.
Brittany, my ex-bestfriend was getting all over Jacob and it bugged me to see her do that. I felt jealousy hit me like a ton of bricks.
The best part, was that Jacob kept pushing her off as he was trying to talk to Luke. Finally, feeling defeat Brittany went with Greg.
Bradley and I talked for a little while. I did my best to discount Jacob’s eyes on me and his glares at Bradley.
Don’t worry Jacob, I can’t feel anything for Bradley. I can’t move on because I’m stuck on you. The biggest jackass ever. Are you happy? Are you satisfied that I can’t love a decent guy?
I mentally fumed. I needed to get out of here before I walked to the table and told somebody off.
“Are you ready?” I asked Bradley.
“Yeah, I’m just gonna get the check.” He called over the waitress. The waitress walked over after finishing picking up dishes from another table.
“I’ll take the check.” he said. “Sir, your check has been taken care of.” The way she looked at Bradley told you she was thinking about way more than the check. It didn’t phase me.
Why didn’t I feel jealous or protective over him? I actually felt like I wanted the waitress to have Bradley more than me. He deserved better than me, much better.
He deserved someone who had mutual feelings.
“Sweet, I’m going use the bathroom real quick Lea.” Bradley got up from the table as the waitress continued cleaning up all of our dishes. She looked conflicted then, after she finished cleaning she built up the courage she finally said, “Your boyfriend?”. A wee bit nosy aren’t we?
“Nope, just good friends.” I replied grabbing the peppermint on the table and popping it in my mouth to give myself something to do.
“That’s a shame. The way he looks at you is so romantic if I had a guy look at me that way I’d never let him go.” She said, I looked up at her and noticed how beautiful she was.
She had curly dark brown hair, brown eyes, and olive skin. I wished I had her skin pigment.
I gave her a sad smile. “There’s somebody else.” I said, what the hell?
Why did I just tell her that? I rarely opened up to anybody how did she get that out of my mouth?
“It’s the guy at the other table that looks at you a lot isn’t it.” I thought to snap at her that it wasn’t her business, but I decided to just go with it. This poor girl was cleaning tables serving people all day. Least I could do was give her a little something to think about.
“Yeah,” I sighed. “That’s him.”
“You should see the way he looks at you too. I thought he was going to get up and pull you out of that chair and drag you out the cafe.” Ironically, I could imagine Jacob doing that.
“I wouldn’t doubt it.” I said looking down at the floor.
“Your life is so interesting.” She said evidentially intrigued by my life.
I gave out a humorless laugh, “You don’t even know the half of it.”
“Half of what?” Bradley asked from behind me. I jumped a little.
“The half of a-a peanut butter pie recipe my grandma has.” I said, a little proud of my diversion. Nice one, peanut butter pie.
“It sounds amazing, you two have a great night.” The waitress said playing it off. I gave her a grateful smile as Bradley and I headed to the door and I saw for a split second that look she was talking about with Jacob.
It gave off one feeling to me and only that one second I saw that look from Jacob sent shivers down my whole body.
I saw it in his eyes the one thing every good boyfriend has for his girlfriend. The one thing every good husband has for his wife.
Possessiveness.
