Gabriella woke to find herself in Jacob's arms in the middle of the desert. Bits of last night's activities flashed through Gabriella's head. She blushed profusely.
What had come over her?
She wasn't the type of girl who slept with a guy straight after their first date. That was the kind of thing a desperate whore would do, not a lady. And yet she didn't regret last night. She really liked Jacob. So much to the point it could be considered love. Gabriella didn't want to admit it was love after only one date but there was no denying that what she felt for Jacob was more than just youthful lust. Gently pulling herself out of Jacob's arms, she went and sat a couple feet away and watched him sleep. He looked so peaceful, so beautiful in sleep, her heart just ached for him. She began to sing to the overcast desert sky,
" Do I love you because you're beautiful
Or are you beautiful because I love you?
Am I making believe I see in you
A man too perfect to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful
Or are you wonderful because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream?
Or are you really as wonderful as you seem?
Am I making believe I see in you
A man too perfect to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful
Or are you wonderful because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream?
Or are you really as wonderful as you seem
Jacob finally woke and sitting up, he gave Gabriella a sleepy smile. Morning, Gabriella greeted him, shyly. Morning, Jacob echoed, just as shyly. Last night, Gabriella began, not looking at Jacob.
Was it okay? Jacob asked her, looking truly concerned.
Yeah. Better than okay, actually Gabriella told him.
Are you sure?
Cause if you are having regrets, began Jacob. No, I have no regrets. I wanted last night to happen Gabriella replied.
But? Jacob pried.
But I think we jumped the gun a little bit. Sex is supposed to come at least after knowing each other a little longer than a week Gabriella sighed. You're right. It is supposed to come after knowing each other at least a year.
You still don't have any regrets? Jacob asked.
Gabriella shook her head then said. No.
But you probably feel a little embarrassed, right? Jacob asked.
A little. I'm so sorry I feel that way but, began Gabriella. It's ok Gabriella. I totally understand Jacob interrupted her.
You do? Gabriella asked.
Yeah. You revealed a lot about yourself last night to me. Things you probably didn't want anyone knowing about yourself. It's ok. Your secret's safe with me Jacob reassured Gabriella, going and encasing her in a hug. Gabriella smiled and mumbled. Thanks.
