Jake wakes up first - it’s wired into him to be up early

He doesn’t immediately get out of bed though, loving the feeling of Sarah in his arms. He listens to the rain and her small snores.

Sarah’s first and second alarms had already gone off, and she finally gets up by the third one.

“Glad to see you’re awake,” he teases, chuckling when she buries her head in his chest, groaning a little. “I need coffee.” Jake hummed and kissed her forehead. “Where’s your phone?” 

She rolled on top of him to grab it, typing in her passcode and opening the Door Dash app. Jake took it from her and she wrapped around his front like a koala, basking in his warmth.

Jake typed in his order and hers, then pulled his card from his wallet and typed in the information.

“Did you get one for Paisley?” Sarah mumbled into his chest. “No, she went on a breakfast date with Tyler at like 7:30.” She hummed an ‘okay’ and Jake felt her fall back asleep.

It doesn’t take long for the Door Dasher to get there with Jake’s black coffee and Sarah’s iced coffee with southern pecan creamer and a blend of two syrups.

“I don’t understand why you wanted iced coffee, it’s pissin’ and pourin’ outside. And it’s February.” “And?” She sipped it happily before kissing his cheek, “Thank you for getting coffee, Baby. I appreciate it.” He smiled down at her, “Of course, Sweetheart.” She pecked his jaw and moved to the couch to start the video game she had pulled up.

As Jake stirred some sugar into his coffee, a knock pulled his attention away. 

He glanced at Sarah, seeing that she was zoned into whatever was happening on the screen.

He went over to the door and opened it.

Jake nearly fell to the floor laughing at the sight in front of him. The guy at the door looked like a wet chihuahua, shivering slightly from being soaked to the bone from the rain while only being in a pair of track shorts and a hoodie. And the guy was built like a string bean, obviously a pole vaulter or short distance runner.

“You must be Kyle,” Jake concluded.

 Kyle looked him up and down, eyes widening a little at Jake’s muscles that were on full display thanks to the Navy tank he was wearing. “Uh, yeah, yeah that’s me. Is, uh, is Sarah here? I kinda need to talk to her.”

Jake hummed, nodding while taking a sip of his coffee. He swallowed, “Why?” 

Kyle pushed his wet hair off his forehead, “Look, we went on a date and it ended kind of rough. I wanted to apologize and maybe get a second chance.” Jake’s brows raised in amusement and he was about to tell him to just fuck off…

But Sarah came to the door, “Kyle? What do you want?”

Kyle sighed in relief, “Hey, Sarah, can I talk to you? In private?” He eyed Jake when he said that last part. “Why in private?” “I really don’t want your roommate listening to this, it’s not his business.” 

Sarah and Jake shared a look, silently communicating on how to play this out.

“No, whatever you need to say, you can say in front of him. I’m probably gonna tell him anyway.”

Kyle groaned, “Okay, fine.” He looked at her, “I’d like another chance at that date.”

Jake’s hand clenched around the door handle and sat his coffee down so he didn’t spill coffee everywhere.

Sarah sighed, a smile forming on her lips, “No. Goodbye.” She tried to shut the door, but Kyle stopped her by stepping in the doorway.

Jake’s body jerked forward but was stopped by Sarah’s hand on his chest, “We both know you could take him.”

He clenched his jaw, but backed down.

“Come on, Sarah. I think I deserve it after the way you just left last night.”

Oh, he really wants to get punched.

“‘Deserve’?” Jake spit through gritted teeth like the word burned him.

She scoffed, “Kyle, you showed up an hour late, not me.” “Seriously? That’s what you’re hung up on? It wasn’t even-” “Shut up, I’m talking.”

Jake proudly wore a smirk on his face, loving the authority Sarah held when talking to someone that made her feel small and uncomfortable the night before.

She shoved a finger in his chest, “Then you stared at my tits while we tried to make conversation. I told you the same story twice and you didn’t notice. Then-” She laughed, “Then you body shamed me in front of the restaurant, TWICE!”

“I wasn’t body shaming you! I was just looking out-” 

Jake had enough.

He gripped Kyle by the shirt, and got right in his face, “Unless the next words out of your mouth are ‘I’m sorry’, shut the fuck up and listen.”

“What’re you gonna do? Huh?” Kyle tried. “Do you really wanna find out?”

Sarah patted his back and Jake put him down.

“Kyle, I didn’t even want to go on the first date I had with you. So, I’m glad it went poorly, because it showed me who you really are. Have the day you deserve.”

Just then Paisley came up to the door, a smirk on her face at the scene in front of her.

She looked at Sarah, “Are you two still friends?” 

Sarah smiled, “Nope.”

Paisley kept her eyes on Sarah and tossed her coffee on Kyle, “Great to see ya, Kyle!” She moved past her roommate and brother, glancing back at the runner, “Oh and don’t worry, it’s decaf.”

The blonde sees the rolls and grabs one, and she quietly gets her brother’s attention “Hey JT!” He looked at her and she tossed it to him.

“Sarah, I- look, I know you’re already insecure and I just- HMPH”

 Jake shoved the roll in his mouth, “Looks like you need it. Carbs give you energy.”

He pulled Sarah to his side by her waistband. 

She gave Kyle a sickly sweet smile and a cute wave before going back to her game. 

Jake gave him a cocky grin, “Byyyyee Kyyyle.”

And when Kyle tried to step forward, Jake slammed the door, listening to the pained groan as it collided with Kyle’s forehead. 

He waited for the electronic lock to lock before moving to the couch and relaxing with his girl as she pulled up Minecraft. “Wanna build a house with me?”

Her eyes were bright as she sipped her coffee and held out a controller to him. He took it. “I’d love to.”

After a moment, Jake had to ask-

“Really, him?”

She snorted, “Shut up.”

“I’ve used toothpicks thicker than him.”

They both laughed and continued to build their little Minecraft house together, Paisley snapping plenty of photos.
