Scared to love

Jake's POV

Alice and Dakota have left to go to bed some time ago and just now Matthew also announced that he's going upstairs. We wish him a good night as we plan on staying in the jacuzzi a little longer. "You were inside for a while is everything okay?", I ask Chloë. "Yeah everything is fine, we were just talking", she replies. I nod and we fall silent after that. "I'm going to go sleep, or I won't be able to wake up tomorrow", Chloë says after a while. She gets out and takes a towel that she wraps around her body. "I'm going to join you", I say trying to hide the fact that I was staring at her. She hands me the last towel and we go inside. She's walking in front of me on the stairs and it's killing me. The others are right, she has a beautiful body, and I have to admit, the way her ass is swaying in front of me is give me a difficult time trying to look away. When we're finally upstairs, she enters our bathroom and changes into her pyjamas. When she returns I go to change while she gets in bed. I join her there soon after and she smiles softly when I lay down next to her.

I wake up in the middle of the night and when I look next to me, I see her sleeping peacefully. I can't help myself when I wrap myself around her, hoping that I will fall asleep faster this way. When our alarm goes off, I don't want to get up. I groan and feel some movement next to me. I open my eyes and notice that I'm still wrapped around her, yet somehow, she doesn't seem to mind. "I didn't take you for a cuddler", she says when she opens her eyes. "Ah sorry about that", I say while letting her go. She chuckles and tells me not to worry about it. "It's quite nice waking up like that", she says while getting up. She yawns, stretches and walks towards the bathroom. She leaves me alone in the bed and my head is spinning because of what she said. I'm sitting on the bed smiling, probably looking like an idiot when she returns. "All yours", is what she says before going downstairs to grab some breakfast. When I get to join her, Matthew is also there. "How are you guys the last to go to bed but the first to wake up", he asks when he sees me already dressed for the day. I shrug as I take some food and sit down. "Habbits I guess", Chloë replies.

We spend the day visiting some ruins of a castle and a museum about said castle. "I loved that", Chloë states when we leave the museum. "It's so interesting to see how people used to live in place like that and in times like that", she adds. "Yeah I agree, the castle must have looked beautiful in real life before it got ruined", Alice says. The girls talk a little more about it while we're walking to the car. When we get back to the house, Dakota pulls Matthew and I apart from the girls, who decided to cook our dinner. "What's wrong?", Matthew asks. "Did Chloë say anything yesterday after we left?", Dakota asks. "About...?", I ask. "A pregnancy?" "No why would she talk about a pregnancy?", Matthew asks. "I think one of them is pregnant", Dakota states. "Can't be Chloë", I reply. "Why not?", Dakota asks. "She's a virgin as far as I know. She never talks about guys and hasn't mentioned seeing someone either. All she does is go to school, work and stay at home", I state. "What did you hear anyway?", Matthew asks. "Alice was talking in her sleep and said something like 'no the others can't know' and 'keep quiet about the baby'", Dakota explains.

"Could there be a chance that she is the pregnant one?", I ask. "Or maybe it's one of her other friends?", Matthew suggests. "Yeah maybe", Dakota sighs. "Should I confront her about it?", he asks. "You know what, I'll see what I can get out of Chloë, maybe she knows something", I say. "Guys dinner is ready", Alice yells from the kitchen. We give Dakota a pat on his shoulder before joining the girls for dinner. Later that evening when Chloë is in our room, reading a book I decide to ask her. "Hey Chloë, I have a few questions", I start when I sit down next to her. "Wait give me a minute", she says. She seems to be reading the end of her sentence before she put a bookmark in and closes the book. "What's up?", she asks while looking at me. "This might sound weird but uh, have you been seeing someone?", I try. "No why, should I be seeing someone?", she asks confused. "No! I uh I mean no I was just wondering", I exclaim. "And uh do you maybe know someone that's like I don't know pregnant?", I ask. "Why are you asking me this?", she asks. "Alice talked in her sleep last night and mentioned something about a baby so Dakota was wondering who she was talking about", I tell her.
