Part of Chapter 2 (part 2)

I practically ran so I wouldn’t keep anyone waiting. But when I came through the door and only seen Jake sitting there, I instantly felt insecure.
He looked at me with these strange eyes, and when I sat down he said what I thought would be rude of anyone to ask.
“So what happened to Travis?” as he sipped his beer.
My face went every shade of red and I felt stupid once again.
“I don’t know, he said that you were going to meet us here” and I rolled my eyes.
I didn’t mean to roll my eyes and I felt bad as soon as it happened. Though I found him to be rude, it was not like me to be that way.
“Well are you hungry” cold distance in his voice.
“Ya a little, you?” he looked very uncomfortable.
“Ya uh, maybe we should just go back” he said as he avoided eye contact.
That was it, my emotions were written all over my face. Angry, embarrassed, feeling stupid. I just took a deep breath and replied
“sure lets go” I surrendered.
I wasn’t going to be a waste of this guys time any longer.
As I started to get up he put his arm out to me
“Wait, wait” he said hailing the server.
"Una cerveza, por favor."
And the little Mexican server gave back a nod. I looked at him confused and sat a moment when the girl placed a beer in front of me.
“Sorry, I wasn’t trying to be rude, I just wasn’t sure if you still wanted to stay”
He saved the moment. My face came back to a normal colour and I didn’t feel so much like screaming anymore. I guess he thought since Travis wasn’t here I didn’t want to be either. But I did want to be there. Jake was this mystery that I did and didn’t want to figure out. Like always, my curiosity gets the best of me.
