The first thing I did this morning after a bowl of cereal was put on my fancy new coat and hat and start on Jake's case. I had to search a few mail boxes...
But finally I figured out the culprit and the case was done, I just needed to fill in Jake. But before I went to see him there was a chess tournament at the bookstore that I had been dying to go to. And it also gave me a lot of logic points to boot!
I called up Jake and found out he was at the art gallery, so I told him I'd be over in ten to fill him in on the case.
He was happy to learn everything was resolved and that I put a few viruses onto the persons computer.
"Thanks so much, Alyssa! You're so awesome," he pulled me into a tight hug. Maybe a little too tight for being "just friends". But he smelt nice and I liked him so I didn't complain and just held on.
He pulled me into a conversation about a case he was working on and that of course went into other subjects and he was flirting again. What game was he trying to play? It was hard for me to care since all I wished for was him.
Over the next few days I mostly worked on cases, figuring out who stole what, if a certain someones partner was cheating on them and so on.
But finally it was the weekend and I thought that I should invite Jake over for dinner.
"Thanks for dinner Alyssa, you're a pretty good cook."
"Got it all from my mom, she was a professional chef,"
"That had to be all your own skill. You're amazing Alyssa."
Didn't he know those words made my head spin and my heart drop into the pit of my stomach?
When he decided to leave, in the wee hours of the morning I decided to not try anything which I think made him want me more. I'm not sure, I seem to be creating feelings and seeing things that aren't actually happening. But I swore I thought he was trying to send me signals to kiss him.
It was while I was the police station I noticed Jake wasn't there. Maybe he had the day off, or maybe he had caught a cold.
Well those were my thoughts until I noticed his twin sister Jordan wasn't there either. What could be happening? So after a little eaves dropping I figured out that Jake wasn't sick or took the day off he had his wedding today. Jordan was also off to be his best man.
My stomach twisted and my thoughts were racing. Wasn't it just last night he was telling me how amazing I was? Why wouldn't he bring this up? I didn't even know he was engaged. I ran to the bathroom locked it behind me before I leaped to the toilet. Nothing came out, but the dry heaves were bad enough.
I cleaned my self up and raced out, I had to find him. He needed to know how I felt. But of course a client stopped me to talk about a case.
But finally I shook her off and I waved down a taxi. Out on a limb I told him to drive to the park that Jake and I had first hung out at.
With my luck, he was there. Like he knew I was coming. He stood up just in time to catch me as I ran into him, wrapping my arms around him.
"Jake I have to tell you something," my breath was short.
"What is it, Alyssa?"
"Alyssa,"
"Just shut up. I need to say this before I loose the courage." Jake nodded in agreement. "Here it is. Your choice, is simple. Her or me. And I'm sure she's really great. But Jake, I think I love you. In a really big, pretend to like your taste in music, let you eat the last piece of cheesecake, hold a radio over my head ourside your window, unfortunate way that makes me hate you, love you. So pick me. Choose me. Love me."
"I think I love you too, Alyssa."
"I'll figure out something. I want to be with you."

Little bit of some Grey's Anatomy, I absolutely love that scene and then it just popped in my head that I should use it a little bit. Hope you enjoyed, gotta update a lot before I can play again because major things have happened and I dont want to get too far ahead of myself.
