The struggle of acceptance (Jacob Latimore) ON HOLD!

Chapter 12: She walks in

Jacob POV

"Give me another one." I asked, poking my lips out.

"NOPE. That's enough kisses for today." Nani said, shaking her head with an evil grin.

"Baby, there's no such thing as too many kisses" i playfully grabbed her head and pulled her towards me, stealing another kiss.

"Mmmm" she moaned as our tongues wrestled. I pulled back, biting her bottom lip.

"Well damn" she smiled, stealing another kiss from me.

"Yeah see, you know a nigga is addictive."

She rolled her eyes and pushed me. "Boy shut up. Anyways, are you excited?"

"For what?"

"School starts back up Tommorow! Aren't you ready to go back?"

"No. Only nerds are excited to go back to school.

She pouted and crossed her arms. "Actually, I'm excited because that's when practice officially starts." Her eyes lit up, which causes me to smile.

"I never knew how much you liked dance."

"I love it. I use to dance all the time in New York."

"Oh really? Wanna show me?" I smirked and grabbed her waist.

"Nooo" she moved my hands and blushed.

Ever since what happened at the meadow, she's been acting kinda shy with me. I really hope she doesn't regret it because I don't, at all. I loved seeing her like that. All vulnerable and stuff, something only I've been able to do to her.

"Nani."

"Yeah?"

"You don't...regret that day do you?"

She bit her lip, knowing exactly what I was talking about.

"Jacob you know I don't. Why would you ask me that?"

"Cause ever since then you been lowkey distant. Like when I touch you or shit, you tense up. So what's up with that ma?"

"I don't know....I guess I'm just scared."

I frowned. "Scared of what?" I leaned on the kitchen counter and brought her closer to me.

"I really loved what we did...but I don't want to rush it."

"Nani what are you talking about?" I laughed a little.

"Im not ready for sex, Jacob. Not until we really love each other."

"I understand that, and im not tryna rush you? Im not that nigga Nani." I sighed.

"I know, I know. It's just, in the past, I-"

"That's your problem! You keep comparing me to them New York niggas you use to fuck with."

"Okay. You don't have to be so fucking rude." She frowned.

"Im sorry, I just don't want you to be scared of me. Ion mind waiting, Nani. Like, foreal."

"Ok, I'm sorry." She leaned up to kiss me and I dodged it, pretending to be mad.

"Jacob you know you aren't really mad." She laughed and began kissing all over my face. "Stop being mad" she mumbled in between kisses.

"Okay okay damn" I laughed, finally kissing her back.

"Okay, let's watch a movie" she ran to the couch and I followed her.

Nani POV

*the next day*

I walked to second period and sat down, waiting for Cali. She looked extra happy today.

"Hey girl, why do you look so happy?" I smiled.

"Girl, Melissa is back!"

"Who?"

"This girl that everybody in our grade is obsessed with. We used to be cool, but she left."

"Left? Where'd she go?"

"She was a foreign exchange student the first month and a half of school. I guess she back now."

"Oh, that's cool. What does she look like?"

"She's around your skin color, but more tan, a little taller and thicker though."

"Oh, okay."

"Where's Jacob?, I usually see him right before first period." She asked.

"Oh, he had a dentist appointment. But I think he's just gonna skip the whole day."

"Typical Jacob" Cali laughed.

The rest of the day seemed to go buy fast. After practice I decided to go over Jacob's house and bring him food so we could chill.

I pulled up and got the food out when I noticed a red BMW parked in his driveway.

"His dad has a nice ass car." I mumbled, getting out.

I walked up to the front door and knocked, waiting a few minutes. I then noticed that the door was cracked. I pushed it open. "Jacob? Why is the door open?"

I heard yelling from upstairs, but I couldn't tell who it was.

I heard Jacob's voice, though.

"It's not even like that man" I heard him say.

I was going to come back another time, i turned to leave until I heard female's voice.

I couldn't make out what she was saying, so I dropped my stuff and tip toed up the stairs. About half way up the stair case, I could hear clearly.

"Then why are people telling me you and this Nia girl are together or something?"

She's talking about me.

"Nani? Ion know nobody named Neani. And im not with anybody. It's you, baby, it's always been you."

Did he just?

Yes, he did.

Who the hell was he talking to?

"I wanna trust you Jacob, but how do I know you're not lying like that's time?"

Last time? What the hell.

"Lissa, there is no one else. It's only you."

Lissa? Who the hell...

Then it all clicked.

"Melissa" I whispered, but quickly put my hand over my mouth.

That cheating ass no good son of a bitch.

"So you didn't fuck somebody named Nani?"

"No? Why would I? I only want you."

I walked all the way up the stairs and decided to make myself known.

"Oh. Really?"
