Tangled Love

CHAPTER 138

I breathe out the huge breath I'm holding and smile at the screen, feeling hopeful for the future.

Maybe it can happen again one day?

I send the text and realise once it's sent how suggestive it sounds. I slap a hand over my head and groan loudly. Now she'd think I'm only interested in her for sex, a booty call. I grab my phone and quickly type out another text, sending it within seconds.

I don't mean just for sex, I mean our relationship. I miss the relationship.

I panic and literally feel myself sweating as I wait for her reply, shaking my head impatiently. That's it Jake, you are never texting another girl after one AM ever again.

My phone buzzes and my eyes dart across the screen as I read her reply.

I miss you too, and maybe it can happen again one day... Both things.

I inhale deeply as I absorb her words, her suggestive words. She isn't exactly helping with my frustrating situation right now with texts like that. My heart skips a few beats as I know I haven't completely lost her, she misses me and she's also hopeful for the future. I make a promise to myself in that moment that I would try day and night to win her back. Once Amil was gone, I would do everything in my power to get her back where she belongs. With me. She's mine and I'm not prepared to let her go, ever.

My fingers hovers over the screen as I think about my response.

I liked both of them... A lot.

A small smile plays on my lips as I send the text, hoping she wouldn't take it the wrong way. Knowing Emily as much as I do, I doubt she would. A massive smile breaks out on my face as she replies within

seconds —

Emily - Are you thinking about us Jake?

Jake - Hell yeah.

Emily - Good.

Jake - Don't ask me things like that when you're not here to deal with it.

I replied sending the text quickly, smirking at my screen.

Emily - Deal with what?

Jake - Ask Jake junior.

Emily - Do it yourself Melvin.

Jake - It's no fun without you baby.

Emily - You're honestly so cheeky.

Jake - That's why you love me, right?

I hold my breath as I wait for her to reply. Does she still love me? Surely she couldn't have fallen out of love with me so quickly.

My phone vibrates and I read her words, a warm tingling sensation running through my heart.

Yes it is. Goodnight Jake.

Goodnight Muffin, sleep tight.

I respond to her and feel my own eyelids grow heavy as I place my phone down. Sleep washes over me immediately, my body turning heavy. I oddly feel calm and relaxed, so different than my sleepless nights previously. I allow myself to drift off into a deep much needed sleep.

That night, I dream of her.

Every single sleeping minute, I dream of her beautiful face.
