"Thank you again for helping fix my hair and buying dinner." Jeremy told Chloe with a smile as he got down from her driver’s seat to let her drive.
They were both at a few blocks from her place and it was ti for her to take over and finally end their mont together.
"It won’t happen again." She said indifferently before grabbing her keys from him. It had been the first ti she cared from soone else’s hair.
Jeremy didn’t move away to give her a chance to enter so she raised a brow at him.
"Why are you still here?" She asked him curiously.
Jeremy hadn’t returned ho since morning. In fact, he had practically spent the whole day with her because he had even slept on her couch and after classes, he had also followed her to go et David and back to the office where she helped him dry his hair and bought them both dinner.
He was beginning to get nervous about going ho. Ellie was going to be really mad.
Chloe waited for him to say what he wanted to say and began to wonder why he looked nervous.
"I’d... like to cook for you." He blurted out less confidently.
Chloe raised arched her brow. "Cook? For ?" She asked carefully.
He bobbed his head up and down. "I was thinking if it would be possible for you to co over to my place after our classes tomorrow."
Chloe gave him a strange look which he couldn’t decipher.
He wanted to cook for her? Why?
Other people always wanted her to do sothing for them. While Jeremy always wanted to do sothing for her, protect her, buy her snacks, now he wanted to cook. She just couldn’t understand him and his real motive.
"Why?" She asked him.
It was quite surprising she wasn’t very harsh like she always was. She was speaking calmly with her hands folded across her chest.
"Why?" He asked back in confusion. "I just... want to cook for you." When she gave him a suspicious look, he quickly corrected.
"I do not an to say you don’t feed well or anything. I just... want to cook for soone else other than myself and Ellie."
She looked at him for a while before shaking her head.
"I can’t." She said before moving closer so he had to move away from the door. The rain had stopped falling a long ti ago so they weren’t bothered about getting wet.
"Oh..." Jeremy sighed in disappointnt but didn’t push her.
"I have a business eting tomorrow." She added as she entered inside her car.
"So.. does that an you can another day? Like the day after tomorrow?" He asked with a hopeful smile.
Chloe rolled her eyes at him but said nothing as she started the car. He took that as a Yes and smiled brightly as he closed the door for her.
"You can just tell your favourite food tomorrow or whatever it is you’ve been craving for for a really long ti. I’ll fix it for you." He said and waved at her.
Chloe looked at him one more ti without a word before driving off.
She shook her head and her lips involuntarily curved in a tiny smile as she looked at him through her rearview mirror before her car took a turn and he disappeared from her sight.
Jeremy stood there with his hands deep inside his pockets and a smile on his face. Who would have thought that there would co a ti in his life where he would be this close to Chloe.
Soone he had always admired from afar and thought it was a pipe dream thinking he would ever talk to her one day. But here they were.
One day, he was sure he would drive her into her apartnt and introduce himself to her family as her boyfriend. He was a very patient person. He could wait.
He turned around and almost got the scare of his life when he saw a car parked behind him with a young man resting on the car with his hands folded across his chest as he looked at him intensely.
He had been so lost in his thought that he hadn’t realised when the car stopped there or how long he had been watching him.
He looked closely and recognized him as Chloe’s brother, Leo.
He tried to act cool with everything as he approached him.
"We et again. Hello!" He greeted first but as he looked at the young man closely, he could tell sothing was different about him aside from his hair which was neatly styled.
"Who are you?" Louis asked as he kept observing him.
Jeremy frowned. Why was he asking him that? Hadn’t they t a couple of tis already?
As if reading his thoughts, Louis introduced himself.
"I am Louis. King Louis. And I’m sure it was my brother you t."
"Oh! Shoot!" Jeremy exclaid as he looked at him in surprise. No wonder Mia had kissed Louis thinking it was Leo. They were both so very similar. Super identical.
"I’m Jeremy. Jeremy Williams." He said politely.
"And why did you just drop my sister off, in her own car, close to her house, and is standing here?" He asked suspiciously as he eyed him up and down.
Jeremy scratched the back of his neck as he thought of the best way to answer so that Chloe would not get into trouble.
For so reason, he felt this brother was probably more difficult than the other one.
"We are friends. And classmates."
"Chloe doesn’t have friends." He said imdiately.
"She does. I’m her friend. I could be your friend also if you want.." He offered innocently as he extended a hand making Louis draw back and look at him cautiously.
"I guess you are also going to drop off, stand and watch drive off with a sheepish smile on your face while you stand in the middle of the road and not care that a car might co crush you because you are blinded by love." He said before shaking his head.
"Eww.. That’s gross. Why would I do that?" Jeremy asked and cringed.
Louis closed his eyes and sighed deeply. This one wasn’t very normal. He concluded as he got inside his car.
"I’ll talk to you so other ti. I’m watching you Jeremy Williams." Louis said before driving off.
