Lost In His Eyes - Jakob Delgado

Chapter 9 - Doubts

CARA'S POV: 

As we pulled into Jakob's driveway my stomach was still turning and my head was becoming heavy. I could feel Ethan's shoulder rub up against mine as we all sat there in complete silence for a while. 

Then the silence broke. 

"Boys your mums are coming to pick you up soon." Jakob's mum said as we opened the car doors and slowly made our way out, her voice slightly faded. I could tell she was extremely disappointed in Jakob as she ignored any eye contact with him and did not offer for the others to stay. 

"as for you sweetie, your mums asked if you can stay here so I will set up your bed in Jakob's room now." 

"Thank you but it's ok I can do it, it's no trouble at all." I replied trying to help lift the mood.

"Actually I have a better idea. Jakob can do it since he thinks his so tough." Jakob's mum then roughly opened the door and let us all in. 

His mum had always been one to help out whenever she could as well as make everyone feel at ease. It was very rare to see her like this but I guess she was just in shock and angry at what Jakob had done as any parent would.  

We then all made our way inside as Jakob took off his soccer boots off at the front and went to hose them off around the side. Chris, Ethan and I then sat on the couch in the lounge room as we waited, it was fairly quite at first until Ethan decided to speak up. 

"Why would Jakob do something like that?"

Chris's eyes then immediately moved across to me as they met mine. You could tell he thought it was all about what happened before the game but I tried telling myself it wasn't so I was convinced but It didn't seem to work very well.  

"He said he would tell me later so lets hope he does" My eyes the slowly detached from Chris's gaze as I looked down to the floor hoping Ethan didn't notice I was hiding something. 

Ethan then opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by the door slamming shut. 

Jakob's POV:

As I entered all eyes were on me although Cara was avoiding any eye contact  just as mum had done earlier. I could see guilt in her eyes as I caught a glimpse of her face. Before I knew it Ethan and Chris's parents were here as we all said our goodbyes. I then made my way to my room as Cara followed close behind me. I then sat on the end of the bed and patted the surface next to me signally her to come sit down, her eyes still trying to avoid my gaze. She slowly made her way over to my bed and sat down as the covers began to ruffle up. 

"Look I understand if your scared of me now or something but Lachie honestly deserved to be hit so bad you don't even know." My back was now falling onto the mattress and I  rested both my hands on my stomach. "I couldn't just let him get away with what he was saying Cara. He thinks he can make up complete and utter bull shit and get away with it." I then swallowed nervous as to what Cara was about to say as she cut me off. 

Cara's POV: 

"What do you mean bullshit Jakob? What did he say?" I was now worried and shaking slightly as I cut Jakob off mid sentence. 

"He.. he.." Jakob was now stuttering, this was not rare at all although this time it was because he was trying to hide something from me.

"Jakob just say it." 

"I don't want to hurt you." as he said this he put his hand on mine and sat himself up. 

"It will hurt more if you keep things from me." 

He then dropped and shook his head before meeting my gaze. He swallowed hard before opening his mouth. 

"He thought he could take advantage of you and he was making up absolute lies. I couldn't let him get away with saying something like that. My anger got the better of me and I couldn't help myself. You are honestly the most beautiful and down to earth person I have ever met no to mention the most caring and to hear someone say such bullshit about you got me pretty pissed and If your angry I understand but you have to hear me out. I was jealous, I am jealous and will be jealous of any guy to be lucky enough to talk to you or call you theirs because you are honestly so fucking amazing and every time I look at you I can't think straight." he stopped talking for a second as he clenched my hand tighter. "look I'm not very good with these things but Cara I really like you and I mean that as more than a friend. Your intelligent, funny.."

Before he could finish saying anymore I leaned closer and burrowed my head in his chest whilst pulling him in. "I can't believe you protected me like that Jakob." I then looked up into Jakob's big brown eyes as he placed his lips on mine. I didn't even finish speaking but I didn't seem to mind as all I wanted was to be close to him right now. He then leaned back once again pulling me down with him as I was now basically on top of him. The kiss was becoming more intense as I tried to speak between kisses. "we should probably set up my bed" each word coming out after every little kiss. "no need to worry about that,just stay in my bed mum never seems  to mind anyways" he replied placing kisses on my neck before wrapping me up tight in my arms. I then pulled away as doubts started to fill my head. 

 "Whats wrong?" Jakob said moving my hair from my eyes with his warm hands. 

"wait do you believe what they said about me?" my head then dropped again and I was back where we started. 

"Are you serious?! how could you ask me that. I have known you for my whole life, do you really think I would believe anything that some guy that doesn't even know you says?"

"It's just.." As I spoke I slightly stuttered as I was cut off by Jakob. 

"No don't question me. Cara your perfect and nothing people say or do will change the way I see you or feel about you."
