*NOTE* just in case you don't remember a prior note. Jeremy is now Wes. When editing Labeled, I felt it was the best to change Jeremy's name due to the mix ups happening with him and Jerry.

The last three days fly by in a blur, I am on my best behavior keeping it entirely friendly with Jade. I enjoy having her at the house and I'm going to be really lonely when she goes back to her place for good. I'm going to miss her cooking, I tell myself often. That's all it is. I also haven't been whacking off in the shower on the daily to thoughts of her. Nope, not I. I'm so fucked in more ways than one and not the good kind.
My entire session on Wednesday was about Jade, my feelings for her, my reluctancy, my issues. "Sometimes the best guidance isn't from words but from observation." is what my therapist said. I left more confused than ever but told myself Jade deserves the best and I'm just not at my best. I don't know if I'll ever be. I put my feelings for her aside and made sure she was okay, safe, and happy staying here.
When I walk through my front door, Jade is in the kitchen, her back to me. My eyes instantly going to her ass in the tight fitting jeans she has on. Shit. damn. She twirls around to face me and my gaze instantly moves to her face hoping I wasn't caught checking her out. Holding a coffee cup in her hands, "Hey!" she greets me with a stunning smile, Marlin at her shoes, rubbing against her legs. It's going to be really hard come Sunday.
"Hey." I return the greeting. Marlin trouts over, and I greet him in pets.
"How was your day?" she blows on the mug. We text throughout the day but she always asks me how my day was when I arrive home.
"Boring but not bad." I move further into the house, placing my bag on the kitchen stools, "What did you do?" I ask her, I know Friday's are her down days with no classes.
"I slept in, did some laundry, cleaned a little."
"You cleaned?"
She shrugs, "A little. I wanted to do it today since tomorrow will be my last night and we're going to the track tonight."
"You didn't have to do that."
She shrugs, "I wasn't about to leave your guest room a mess."
"I would've cleaned it."
"Ew, I'm not gonna have you clean up after me."
"If I recall correctly, you had to clean up after me."
"Yeah and I'm fine with that."
"Alright then. Thank you."
"Sure!" she smiles brightly. "I just fed Marlin too."
"Perfect! Okay, I better get changed so we can head over to Vance's." I move into my room and get changed. "You eat anything?" I yell out.
