I wake up in Jack's arms. We talked to about 3 in the morning. We both decided not to make a huge deal about the whole Tiana thing. Even though I felt uncomfortable thinking about it, I can't hold it against Jack forever.
"Morning." He said while pecking my cheek.
"Morning." I yawn and stretch out my arms.
"So what's the plan for today?" Jack asks while I walk to the bathroom and brush my teeth.
"We should try to find a venue." I say while spitting into the sink.
"A venue for what?"
"Our wedding dumbass." I throw a pillow at him.
"Oh yeah I forgot about that." He joked.
"You're not funny." I playfully slap his arm. I shower and put on my robe while I pick out what to wear. I decide to put on some jean shorts and a crop top with sandals. I blow dry my hair and leave it out naturally. Then I go downstairs and wait for Jack to get ready which wouldn't be long. I make some scrambled eggs and toast while he showers.
I felt my phone buzz and it's a text from Jake.
Jake: I need to talk to you
Lacey: okay, when?
Jake: today.
I was about to respond but I see Jack come downstairs.
"You look nice." I smirk while pecking his cheek.
"Thanks. And you look cute." He kisses my forehead.
First we stop by Jill's house to see Genesis since she's ditching daycare and going to the carnival with Carol all day.
"There's my princess!" Jack says while picking up Genesis and spinning her around.
She laughs uncontrollably, "Hi daddy!" she squeals while pecking him on the lips. I found it absolutely adorable how close they're bond is.
"Mommy!" She screams and jumps in my arms.
"Hey sweetie! Did you have fun?!" I say while setting her down.
She nodded her head up and down, "Ms. Jill is taking us to the carnival!" she says while jumping up and down.
"Really? That's so cool!" Jack says.
Jack and Jill start to talk about politics, which I'm not interested in. So I head downstairs to see if Jake was home. Luckily he was.
"What's up?" I say making him jump.
"Hey Lacey." He says while typing on his computer.
"You wanted to talk?" I ask while sitting down.
"Yes. It's a good thing you're here. I just wanted to give you the full story behind...Sam." I felt my heart drop. Every time I hear his name I see flashbacks of everything he did to me.
"Oh okay." I mumble.
"So basically my mom had no choice to send Sam to a facility where I guess children with mental illnesses went when he was about 11. He tried to kill our younger sister. So after she sent him away, she decided to put him up for adoption because he was a threat to our family and she didn't want to risk anything." He spoke pretty fast.
"He tried to kill your sister?!" I exclaimed.
"Shh! I don't want Jill to hear." he rolled his eyes.
"Right...sorry. So..he wasn't adopted or?" I ask full of confusion.
"They put him into the foster system because my family refused to take him back. At times I feel bad and guilty but then I remember everything he did to me and my family." He whispered loudly.
"But he was only eleven?"
"When he was 15, he was already in a foster home. So I was 19 and had my car. He slashed its tires and tried to set it on fire while I was in the car."
"Oh my god." I whisper loudly.
"I changed my last name because I didn't want to be associated with him. And I didn't want my kid to have any connection with him either. So I took my mom's maiden name." Jake was speaking very quickly. He seemed scared when talking about Sam. He must've been pretty bad, I mean, who would be scared of their own brother?
"Look Jake. I have to tell you something but you have to swear you won't tell anyone." I whisper.
Jake just nodded. "Last time I went to visit Sam, he said that the only way he would take a paternity test for me is if I paid him one grand." I mumble.
"You didn't give him anything right?" He asked worried.
"I only did it because Jack doesn't know that Sam raped me. And I don't want him to find out!" I whisper.
"And what if the baby is Sam's? And comes out looking exactly like him. Then what would you tell Jack then? You have to tell him sooner or later." I quickly shook my head.
"I can't Jake. Jack means so much to me, he'd hate me forever. Plus Sam said once I pay him, I'll never hear from him again."
"That's bullshit. You can't believe anything he says." He chuckles while ruffling his hair.
"Babe?! You down here?" I hear Jack coming downstairs.
"Yeah I'm here!" I say back.
Jack came down and looked at Jake.
"Hi I'm Jake." Jake got up and shaked Jack's hand.
"Jack." I could sense the jealousy off of Jack. He firmly shaked Jake's hand, "I'm Lacey's fiance." He said pretty clearly.
"I didn't know you were engaged Lacey. Congratulations." Jake said ignoring Jack's attitude.
"Lacey we have to go." Jack mumbled while wrapping his arm around my waist.
"Alright. Bye Jake!" I smile at him and wave while we walk up the stairs.
"Bye Jill." I give her a hug. Then I give Genesis a big hug practically suffocating her. Jack did the same then we headed to the car.
"That Jake guy. What were you two talking about?" Jack asked.
"About college. Why?" I lie.
"Just wondering."
"Is someone jealous?" I smirk.
"I'm not jealous, I was just curious."
I just chuckled, "Okay then Gilinsky."
