"Great". She grinned. "How's Texas treating you?".
"It's been". Making a face I laughed. "It's okay still going strong".
"I can see that". She glanced at my hand. "What the hell happened?".
"I punched a guy in the face". Sinking my teeth into my bottom lip I watched her eyes widen.
"You didn't".
"I did but everything is fine".
"You broke your hand by punching a guy in the face but everything is fine". Shaking her head she fell against my bed. "How did that even happen?".
"It's a long story". I sighed. "But never mind that. I can't believe you're here. What's your mom saying about it?". "She's to wrapped up in the new boyfriend to care". She sighed. "I'm surprised she'd even notice. I should have moved out here when you did".
"I'm glad you're here. My gran will love to see you". I smiled just as there was a knock on my front door. "I'll be back". Pulling open my front door I froze. "Dinner and dessert". He smirked.
"Jake". I smiled.

"Jake I-...." "It's okay babe we'll do this another night. Take the goodies". He winked.
"No you should keep-..." "Have to make sure my girls eating". He whispered. "See you soon princess". Watching as he walked away I felt my stomach drop. I didn't want him to leave. "Who in the hell was that?". She smirked taking the food from me. Closing the door I followed her into the living room.
"Jake". I smiled.
"And?". She grinned shoving a piece of pizza into her mouth.
"He lives further up the street".
"And?". She laughed.
"And we've been hanging out". I said my grin matching hers.
"Does he have any brothers?". She asked causingto shake my head. "Don't shake your head atLeah, a girl has needs".
"No brothers but he does have friends". I smiled.
"Friends that look like him?". She smirked taking another piece of pizza.
"What are you like". I laughed taking a piece of pizza. "We're just hanging out". I shrugged.
"I didn't say anything". She smiled. "Have you heard from Tommy?".
"He senta few messages and I got a delivery of black roses a few days ago".
"Black roses?". She made a face. "He's not missing you as much as he makes out". "What do you mean?". I frowned.
"You know what I mean". She sighed. "I told you what he was like before you agreed to go out with him".
"He can do what he wants". We weren't together anymore and it's not as if I was holding out for him. We were over the minute I left Florida.
"That tall drip of sexiness got anything to do with that cool, calm attitude you have?". She asked.
"Maybe". I grinned.
"Good you deserve better you always have. Now is there anything to do around here?".

"Yeah do that. I'm going to freshen up". She winked heading back up stairs. Following behind her I grabbed behigh my phone from my bed. I wasn't sure if Alanna would be out patrolling.
