Still not looking at him, Katelynn winced a bit at his interpretation of her personality because she knew it was true but hearing it from his lips – it stung. “S-Sure love…I mean..i-if you want you can come to the condo he gave us to meet him there?”
She wasn’t sure how else to tell him about the third present and scrunched her shoulders together to await whatever words he was prepared to throw at her. That wasn’t even including the conditions.
Jack froze in his seat as he heard the words she tried to slip in. “W-wait, he gave us a condo?” He didn’t sound angry or worried, just shocked. His first instinct was to say ‘no’ outright, but he wanted to hear the rest of the story.
She nodded her head slowly, taking a deep breath to calm her nerves. “He transported me to his condo and said he was moving out and if I wanted it..I mean we’ve been saving to get a b-bigger place and he wouldn’t take no for an answer even though I said I couldn’t thank him enough so he um..set a condition in exchange for him to be allowed to sleep over when he needs it…”
Oh god…this is nerve wrecking..I..I didn’t see anything wrong with it at first but he’s..I guess I should have thought he wouldn’t be happy with this..? She bit her lip, turning her face away to hide how scared she was.
Okay, that was a little easier to swallow. If this guy had been planning to move out anyway, offering the place to a friend was a reasonable thing to do. The condition seemed reasonable too. If the person who’d made this offer had been … well, normal, Jack would have been thrilled.
As it was, he was still willing to hear more.
“I-it’s a nice offer, I have to admit,” he said. “I’d still like to meet him before we decide anything, though.”
