Tangled Love

Exactly 9 minutes and 30 seconds later I'm ready for my first ever date with Jake.

I settle for a white top and jean combo with my black leather jacket over the top. My hair is naturally wavy on my shoulders and I've applied some makeup with the spare time I had. I grab my phone, ruffling my hair a little before walking downstairs.

Jake is leaning against the front door, scrolling through his phone. He's wearing a black t-shirt with black ripped jeans. He'd finished his look off with a gorgeous looking watch on his wrist. Every time he moves, it catches the light perfectly. His dark hair is sprawled messily across his head, thick strands falling over onto his forehead. I clear my throat and Jake glances up at me, smiling softly when his eyes meet mine.

He slides his phone away into his pocket and stretches out his hand —

"Ready Muffin?" He asks me and I nod in response, slipping my hand into his. He intertwines our fingers together instantly, his thumb drawing circles on the back of my hand. With his other hand, he picks up his car keys and pulls open the front door —

"After you, m'lady."

I couldn't help but giggle as I step outside only to be stopped again.

"Wait — " he says quietly, his arm snaking around my waist. He turns me around in one swift motion, leaning in close.

"You look beautiful Emily."

"You don't look too bad yourself." I breathe out, butterflies fluttering in my stomach. Jake leans down, pressing his lips against mine in a slow kiss. He holds me up with one arm, his scent causing me to feel intoxicated. With him, it feels like I'm floating on clouds, far away in our own little land.
