Tangled Love

I wear my baby blue jumper before pulling on a pair of white jeans. I notice my bruising has completely faded and I'm rarely in any pain. My body has definitely healed over the past few weeks and I'm extremely grateful for it. I can't remember the last time I've gone this long without feeling discomfort or pain from one of Trevor's bearings. I glance at myself in the mirror noticing I'd put on a little more weight from the food I'm constantly eating now.

I look healthy.

I run a brush through my dark hair making it pin straight and applied some concealer underneath my eyes. I finished off with a pale pink lipgloss and quickly applying some mascara.

I took a deep breath, knocking on Jake's bedroom door. I heard a few grunts come from inside and scrunched my eyebrows together in confusion. I knocked loudly, causing the door to shake from the impact. Oops.

The grunts stopped and I heard Jake come towards the door. He swung open the door and we stood silently, staring at each other for a few moments. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt with some boxing shorts swung loosely on his hips. His arms and chest was glistening with sweat but on him, it was ridiculously attractive. I felt his eyes roam down my body and a deep blush crawled up onto my cheeks. He leans against the doorframe, looking surprised to see me.

"Can I come in?" I asked quietly. Jake walks back a few steps, opening his door for me to enter. I walk in and sit on his bed, noticing the boxing gloves. The boxing bag in the corner of the room is rocking back and forth slightly.

So that explains the grunts...
