Lust for Love

Chapter 11.2

"Let's get married too!"

A huge bolt of lightning struck just a second later as if an indication of the start of something unfortunate.

The bright light from the thunder lit up the room but the shadows that followed it felt ominous.

No no I'm just overthinking. It's probably because it's the first time I'm staying away from Nathan and Gray and because I'm still not ready to take such a huge decision yet.

Does that mean I'm not sure about Jacob?

I quickly regained my composure and answered him, "Haha! Jacob, what's the matter? Why the sudden rush? Didn't we agree to wait a little longer? Plus I'm still too young and I'm not sure if I can handle such a huge responsibility. Also, we haven't even gotten blessings from Nathan and Gray for our marriage. It's only been a couple of months since we started going out."

I tried to appease him with my words but he suddenly stood up straight looking at me with intimidating eyes which softened as soon as they detected fear creeping into my face.

Did I say something wrong? Did I do something wrong?

"Does that mean you're not sure about me because I didn't spend much time with you? Because you don't know me longer than Tyler?" His reason seemed silly but I wasn't going to judge him for that.

I'm sure there's a reason why he feels that way and I should try and reassure him.

"Hold up! What does Tyler have to do anything with this?" I wondered when it suddenly struck me!

I mean I can understand him acting out of insecurity as both of my brothers don't particularly hold any affection towards him plus we have a three-year gap which I don't really think is a problem.

And maybe he feels insecure about my relationship with Tyler, as we did spend more time and he probably knows more about me, plus we're the same age which gives Tyler the advantage of getting along with me better, at least according to him.

But even so . . .

"Aww, Is my Jacob feeling a little jealous?" I tried to pamper him but little did I know that it would light a different kinda fire in him.

"Come on, Jacob you're being silly." I giggled. I couldn't help but find him adorable but it seems he was really serious about it.

"Am I really though?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" I tried to coerce any details that might help me find any clues to how I could calm his insecurities.

Jacob let out a sigh as he sat on the bed with his face buried in his palms.

"Hey, are you okay?" I asked feeling a little concerned. This was the first time I saw him expressing such a strong disapproval but I was happy in a way because that meant I was getting to know him better.

"Hey talk to me will ya. I'll try to answer as best as I can." I tried to reassure him.

He finally looked up with a slightly pained expression but was still happy that I was willing to answer his questions.

"Umm, did you ever have feelings for him?" He decided to get straight to the point.

"Pfft! Come on he is family." I shrugged it off as if it wasn't even a valid question. I saw Jacob's tense shoulder relax slightly.

Was that bothering him so much?

"Do you often stay over at his plac—" Before he could finish I tried to clarify it for him.
