I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. For some strange reason, my heart was racing faster than a Formula One car. I took deep breaths, I'm here to see Jeremiah, there was nothing to be nervous about.

The door flew open and revealed Jeremiah's elder brother, Andres.

"Hi!" I smiled at him, my eyes going down to his stomach that was out of view because of the grey shirt he had on.

"About time you showed up," Andres said and stepped aside so I could come in. "And no, I won't take off my shirt so you can feel my abs."

"You, my friend, are becoming rude," I said and looked around the house.

"All I hear is bull crap and before you ask, Jerry is upstairs in his room moping."

"Don't call him Jerry, he's name is Jeremiah!"

"Yes sister in law."

I rolled my eyes and headed up the stairs but turned back to look at Andres who was already staring at me. "I want you to know that I appreciate what you've done with your body, looking fit and all."

Andres just stared at me.

"And when I say I love you, I want you to know that I really really love you."

"You mean my abs."

"It's still part of you. So there, I said it, I love you Andres Sebastian."

"I love you too Cassandra Yen."

"My last name isn't Yen."

"Mine isn't Sebastian either."

"Hmm," was all I got out before continuing my journey upstairs.

"Chiaha," Andres called and I turned. "My last name is -"

"Adedeji, I know and make sure you come running when I call for back up."

I waited for Andres to nod before I continued and came face to face with Jeremiah's door. I opened the door slowly and peeked in.

"What do you want?"

"To come in?"

"No, go away."

"I'm coming in anyway," I said and stepped in, shutting the door behind me. "Can we talk?"

He turned to face me, "what do you talk about first? How you totally left me hanging and went after dumb boys? Or how you totally ignored me when I came after you? Or my personal favourite, how you asked my ex to dump a baby that wasn't even mine on me? Take a pick."

"First of all, I didn't know you dated Angelique and Felix is not a baby, he's a toddler."

Jeremiah just stared at me.

"I'm not helping my case, right?"

He didn't even nod, he turned away from me.

"Jeremiah, I'm sorry I advised Angelique to dump a baby on you, I didn't know you were her ex and I probably shouldn't have asked her to do it regardless of who her ex was."

Jeremiah shook his head, "this isn't about Angelique or Felix, this is about us. This is about how you made me feel when we were together and how-"

"Wait a minute! When we were together? When were we together? All I remember was having that kissing game behind Geoffrey's back because I wanted to try something wild behind his back."

"Of course it was a game to you but did you once consider how I felt? Did you check to see if I was okay with just kissing you? Did you check to see if I wanted more?"

I rubbed my forehead with my hand, "How would you want more? I know my kisses are awesome but you can't fall for someone that quick."

"I had a crush on you which was why I agreed to this in the first place and I thought that with time you'll like me like I like you but oh no, you had to move and date boys that weren't me and you ignored me, if I'm permitted to add that."

He had a crush on me. Jeremiah Adedeji had a crush on me. Oh My Word!! Time to act cool and pretend I don't care.

"You had a crush on me, big deal. What I don't remember was you coming after me. "

"How would you remember? I'm the guy whose eyes you always met but was quick to turn away, I'm the guy who would always tell you to be careful but you didn't really notice did you?"

I tried to think of a time I had seen Jeremiah in the past months but couldn't remember, I tried and tried and that was when it hit me like a bucket of ice water.

My mind travelled back to the day I jumped off the cliff.

I was running things over with Geoffrey, trying to make sure things would work out just in case Saheed didn't catch me and Geoffrey excused himself to go call the guy bringing the trampoline when this guy came up to me.

"Do you have to do this?"

I turned to face him, "nah, but I think I'll love the thrill of falling from a cliff."

"Be careful, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you."

And to when Saheed caught me, only one boy didn't exchange cash with Geoffrey, only one guy stared at me with so much relief and my eyes locked with only one boy whose smile turned into a frown when I looked up at Saheed.

"OMG!" I said and started laughing. "I remember now. You were the one who tried to stop me from posting that note on Charlie's locker the day  he caught me. And you also delayed me."

Jeremiah just stared at me.

"I'll forgive you because Charlie and I wouldn't have kissed if it weren't for you. You should have been there to see the kiss, it was electrifying."

"I saw it."

"Good for you."

We went silent for a while with me thinking of ways to leave and Jeremiah staring out the window.

"You want to know what I thought when I saw you kissing him?" Jeremiah asked pulling me out of my thought to go ninja and jump out of the window.

I looked away from the window that was shut and studied Jeremiah. Maybe he was before and I didn't notice it but Jeremiah was shirtless and I wish I could say he had his brother's body but my mom didn't raise a liar.

I shook my head, "Nope."

"I thought 'I don't really know what she sees in him, he isn't even kissing her right.'" Jeremiah walked up to me and stood directly in front of me and I knew he wanted me to back up into the wall but I just wanted to jump out of the window and go home. "I could kiss her better than that."

I took a deep breath, trying to control my heart. When a boy is that close to you, your mind goes into overdrive.

"Listen Jeremiah, I really believe you can kiss me better than that but-"

I couldn't complete the sentence because Jeremiah was kissing me and I wasn't planning on resisting any time soon. My hand rested on his chest and Jeremiah was pulling me to him.

We pulled apart and rested our foreheads on each others'.

"I told you I can kiss you better than that," Jeremiah said and as much as I wanted to agree with him, the urge was great.

I pulled away from Jeremiah and ran towards the window giving a war cry. In no time at all, I was throwing myself at the window, breaking the glass and landing with a thud and I swear I heard something break.

"OMG! SANDRA ARE YOU OKAY?!" Jeremiah's voice came from the sky.

"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" another voice asked.

"It didn't happen like this in my head."

***

I know the question on all of our minds, who the heck is Jeremiah, where did he come from and why are we just hearing about him now?

Even I would like to know where Jeremiah came from because that wasn't how it happened in my head.
