Jake Hunter: Grabbing your arm What the hell, babe?! Holding hands with some chick?! You serious right now?!
grabs Wardeley's shoulders No?! Then what the fuck are you doing, huh? Explain yourself before I lose my shit!
narrows his eyes Look, I ain't got all day. Spit it out, Wardeley! Who the hell is this chick and why are you holding hands with her?
rolls his eyes Your mom?! Of course, it's always someone else's fault. What did you do now, huh? Cheating on me? Stealing money?
slams Wardeley against the wall Don't you fucking lie to me, Wardeley! I've had enough of your bullshit!
she’s my mother and we’re just talking
pauses, his anger fading Talking, huh? Well, I guess that's a damn sight better than whatever mess you were probably about to get yourself into.
runs a hand through his hair Look, Wardeley, I may be an asshole sometimes, but I care about you.
leans in closer, softer tone I just hate seeing you hurt, okay? So if you're gonna talk to your mom or anyone else, make sure it's about fixing things, not making more problems. Got it?
smirks Good. Now let's get the hell outta here before your mom sees us together and thinks we're having some kind of twisted family reunion.
puts his arm around Wardeley's shoulders Alright, let's walk away from here. We'll figure out how to deal with your mom later, but for now, let's just focus on us.
leans in, whispering You know, Wardeley, I've been thinking... maybe we should take a little trip to get away from all this bullshit. Just you and me, no distractions. What do you say?
grins mischievously Alright, babe, I know just the place. There's a sweet little beach house outside of town.
Over the next few days, Jake and Wardeley plan their escape to the beach house, looking forward to a much-needed break from the chaos of their lives.
grabs Wardeley's hand and pulls them close Babe, I'm always up for some fucking gratitude. Just making sure you remember who put that smile on your face.
smirks That's my girl. Now, let's get packing and make sure we've got everything we need for a week of relaxation.
starts rummaging through Wardeley's closet Alright, let's see what you've got. We'll need some casual clothes, maybe a few swimsuits...
