[He could make a smart-ass remark about being 'incredibly attractive' (his ego agrees) but then when their eyes meet and he gets it.]
Hey.
[He catches the hand she'd used to tip his head back, squeezes her fingers gently and then kisses her knuckles, never once taking his eyes off her face.
He's never really sat down and examined his feelings for Sherry in the grand scheme of things. Frankly? He's never needed to. There wasn't a point putting a name to something so unknowable. Jake's a pretty simple guy when it gets right down to it. Used to be his life was 'go out, get paid, sleep whenever, rinse repeat'. He didn't put labels on things and he didn't really slot his life into neat little organized boxes. That was too... society for him. Something he eschewed whenever possible. When he was younger, he did it because he had no respect for the system that let his mother die of something completely curable just because they couldn't fucking afford it.
As he got older, it stuck around. Habit.
But he's already broken half a dozen for Sherry, what's one more?]
you are not the only one aah these babies
