Chapter 4- wallet thief

I was sat in Jake's one bedroom apartment after we were sent home from school.

My book rested in my hand while Jake was asleep in my lap.

I was running my fingers through his hair as he slept.

At least we were safe.

A knock came at the door, startling me slightly.

" Jake. Jake, wake up. There's someone at the door. " I whispered, kissing his forehead.

He rubbed his eyes and got up to investigate.

" Hey. What's up? " he asked, opening the door.

" Oh! Hey. I'm Andy. This is my cousin Joe. I was at your party the other night. I think I might've left my wallet here. Do you mind if I come in and look around? " the other man asked.

" Sure man. Knock yourselves out. " he said.

They both came inside, Andy and Joe.

Joe asked him some questions about his guitars and Andy snooped around.

" Do you mind if I go grab a glass of water? " Joe asked.

" Sure man. Kitchen's last on the left. " Jake said.

Joe went to get his water and I just continued to read my book.

" Do you have like a wallet bowl? Or something? " Andy asked.

" No! Why would I have a wallet bowl for gods sake? " he questioned.

" I don't know! Maybe so you can just steal all the wallets in the wallet bowl! Ya wallet thief! " Andy said.

" What?! Why would I want to steal the fucking wallets? " Jake shouted.

" You know what? I'm just gonna go. Joe! C'mon. " Andy called.

Joe came back into the living room with what looked like an obvious 'suspicious package' in the front of his trousers.

" Quite the package you've got there. " Jake said.

" Yeah. Can't keep the ladies off it! Haha! Yeah..the girls are always... wantin' me to fuck 'em. " Joe laughed.

I could see Jake look at me out of the corner of my eye.

" Yeah. Well, at least one of them doesn't. " I could hear the subtle smile in his voice.

I winked subtly, hearing Jake chuckle quietly.

I smiled to myself and licked my finger to turn the page.

Jake showed the two guys out not before having a shouting competition with Andy from across the parking lot.

He huffed and flopped back into my lap.

His arms were folded and his bottom lip was pushed out in a pout.

" Aww. Big Jakey baby! " I said, mimicking his pout and frowny expression.

He tried to hold the grumpy face but my impression soon made him smile again.

" So..party huh? Was it any good? " I asked.

" It was okay. I mean...you weren't there so it was pretty crap. " he said, cuddling my tummy.

I smiled down at him and laughed as he wrapped his arms around my tummy.

His smile was wide as he cuddled me.

" Yeah. It's why I was late the other night. It was a surprise party but I kept remembering where I needed to be. With you. " he whispered.

" That's okay. You didn't know about it. It was thoughtful though. " I said.

He nodded in agreement and put his head back in my lap.

" I'll text Lynne and get her to cover for me tonight. " I said.

" Who's Lynne? " he asked.

" Me. " I said.

" I did this before remember? I'll tell my Dad that I'm staying at Lynne's house. That's your house by the way. Then, when he phones 'Lynne' on my other cheap phone I'll do an American accent and confirm that I'm staying at 'Lynne's' house. It's genius! " I explained.

" But what if he wants to speak to Lynne's parents? " Jake asked.

" They died when she was seven. She lives with her older sister who works nights. So she can't take phone calls in the day. " I said.

I could see the grin start to form on his face.

He jumped up and grabbed me.

He swung me around whilst shouting: " TABBY YOU'RE A GENIUS! GOD! I LOVE YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL BRAIN! "

He put me down and kissed me softly on my lips.

I went weak in the knees when he'd kiss me like this.

I was completely his and boy, did I know it.

" Can I turn around yet? " Jake whined.

I'd made him turn around so I could change into one of his band shirts.

Legally Black was the band he played in.

The shirt dropped off of my right shoulder and I kept my panties on.

" I need to make you a stuff drawer. So you can keep some of your things here. " Jake mumbled, getting into the small bed.
I smiled at his traditional forward thinking style in a relationship.

Stuff drawers and giving me his jacket and bringing me flowers.

It wasn't quite a double but it wasn't a single either.

It was like one third of a kingsize.

He pulled the blankets back so I could get in.

I scooched closer to him under the blankets when I felt his arm around my shoulders.

He was in shorts and a big, grey t-shirt.
It smelled nice, like him. Like dogs and his shampoo and aftershave.

" Like your bracelets, baby. " he whispered, holding my arm up for him to inspect.

They were silver beads with a little jade green elephant on a pendant.

I yawned, making Jake smile.

" Aww...little sleepy baby girl. " he cooed.

I weakly hit his chest in an attempt to retaliate.

He chuckled and kissed my hand, placing it back on his shoulder where it had been before.

I closed my eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.

It was Saturday tomorrow so we could do whatever we wanted.

His arms tightened around me as he too fell asleep.

My eyelids were heavy as the morning sun shone in Jake's window.

Jake was still sound asleep beside me.
He was snoring a little bit, his mouth hanging open.

His hair was messed up from what I could gather from my droopy eyelids.

I tucked my face into the scoop of his neck and kissed his skin gently.

He groaned quietly in his sleep, his arms around my shoulders tightening.

I pursued nonetheless.

I kissed his skin with my warm wet lips.

I nibbled his neck gently and he groaned again.

He was finally waking up.

" You...naughty...girl. I could get used to waking up like this. " he mumbled, rolling me beneath him.

I grinned and stroked his hair, messing it up even more.

We lay like that for a while, just smiling and kissing.

In all honesty, I genuinely forgot about my Dad in moments like this.

I felt free to love whoever I wanted.

And that 'whoever' was Jake Pitts.
