7. Dinner

Hannah Lydia Terolb

I woke up to find someone's arm wrapped around my waist and their nose in the crook of my neck, their breath fanning over my back. I didn't react at first. I always get nightmares so I was just waiting for the plot twist, but nothing happened! I tried my best to look over my shoulder without disturbing my visitor. I immediately sighed in relief, it's just Jacob. Wait a minute... Jacob! My heart started racing as I tried to remember what happened before I fell asleep. I was reading my book and then... I don't know!

My door opened, effectively distrusting my quest for answers. My mom's eyes widened once she saw me. I looked at the clock. 6:32! I tried to get up off the bed but the arm around my waist gripped me tighter. I looked back at Jacob, but he was still asleep. His leg hooked around mine and pulled me even closer.

"Hannah Lydia Terolb! I hope you have a good explanation for this!" She looked at me as if she caught me having sex with him.

"I don't... I-I didn't... I-" I looked back at Jacob. Still asleep. "I j-just fell asleep, I d-don't know, I like just woke up."

"I expect both of you to join me for dinner in 15 minutes." She said still bothered.

"Yes ma'am."

"Mom! Is Hannah with her boyfriend?" Alex's voice yelled from downstairs.

"Yes she'll be down soon." She yelled back before giving me a glare. She left without another word.

Jacob's breathing started coming out in shorter and faster breaths. I struggled to look at him with his iron grip on my stomach.

"Are you ok?" I asked. "Wait! Are you laughing? Are you serious! You left me to be yelled at by that woman while you just hid and made it worse!"

He lifted his head. His lips were only centimeters away from mine. My breath hitched. "I don't know what you're talking about."

I opened my mouth to yell at him some more, but before I could, Jacob pulled me towards the middle of the bed and pinned my wrists above my head.

"You enjoyed it didn't you?" He asked. The audacity! I gasped at him.

"No you jerk! You're a poop!" He laughed and leaned in to kiss my forehead.

"Didn't I tell you no reading? Why can't you listen to the rules for a few minutes? I made you food, but no! You had to go fall asleep while READING a book. You think your mom's punishment is going to be bad, just you wait, tomorrow is going to be hell Dia." He smirked.

"You made me food?" I asked.

"Is that the only thing you grabbed from that!" He was trying so hard to look angry but he just looked cute.

I laughed. He released my hands and sighed. I couldn't get up because he was still sitting on me.

"Get off me! We have to go downstairs for dinner."

He smiled. "First I need you to agree to something."

"Ok what is it?"

"Tomorrow we are going to document every single encounter and injury." He said. He brushed his thumb over my collarbone. I looked down. My tank top shifted over revealing a hickey Ethan left from last week. I nodded. It was going to be hard but I needed to do this.

"Yes sir," He smirked.

"Sir?"

"Hey! Get that dirty mind out of here!"

"I didn't say anything dirty, that was you." I groaned. He chuckled but climbed off of me. I sat up and adjusted my tank top. A realization hit me.

"Do you think my mom saw it?"
