Oh god he was coming over for coffee. I needed to stop acting like an idiot. It was just coffee. He wasn't going to care that I was in pjs and his hoody. Maybe I should change.

No! I was overthinking once again.

Concentrating back on my school work I was reading over what I had so far when the door went. It wasn't 12 o'clock yet.

He was early.

Placing my laptop to the side of me I got up, my reflection from the mirror catching my attention. I looked horrible. I hadn't even brushed my hair just threw it into a messy bun on the top of my head.

The door went again.

Answer the door idiot!

Taking a deep breath I unlocked the door and pulled it open. It wasn't Jake. My stomach dropped.

"Delivery for a Leah Wilson?".

I hadn't ordered anything.

"Sigh here please". He smiled.

Who was this from?

Closing the door behind me I sat the parcel on the couch. I didn't know anyone good enough around here to send me a package. Grabbing a knife from the kitchen I cut the seal and pulled the lid off.

It was black roses.

Taking out the card I felt the tightness in my chest. They were from Tommy.

'You won't return my calls, you won't answer my text. Did I mean nothing to you? Please let me know you're safe. I love you Leah'

Why did I have a bad feeling about this?

"Nice flowers".

Jumping slightly I turned around slipping the note in my pocket. "Jesus shit Jake you scared me. Have you never heard of knocking?". Putting the lid back on the box I placed them on the floor.

"I did knock princess but you never answered".

"So you just decided to walk in?". Making a face I took a seat on one of the chairs. Only then did I notice he was holding a bag and 2 coffee cups. "Did you bring me something sweet?". I grinned.

"No". He smirked. "Sweets will rot your teeth. Go get 2 plates".

"What have you got in that bag?". I must admit it smelled delicious. "Please tell me you at least brought me a muffin". He shook his head. "A cookie then?".

"Plates princess".

"Stop calling me that". Grabbing two plates from the kitchen I handed them to him and watched as he dished up wherever he had bought.

"A bagel?". I frowned. Not that I didn't like them I just thought he'd have brought goods. As in chocolate goods.

"Just wait until you taste it". He winked passing me a plate.

It was like heaven.
