My heart belongs to...? (Jacob Sartorius book)

Meeting Mark

I woke up and looked across the street to see Jacob sitting on his porch with a black hat planted backwards on his head as he looked across right at my window. I smiled and waved and he smirked and walked over to my driveway, "Hey Gabi, let's go for a walk." He yells from outside and I quickly close my window and head to my closet. My mom was at work and my older sister, Alex doesn't ever care what's going on an just sits in her room. I pull my black and white tribal print crop top off a hanger and snatch my white shorts with little fringes on the bottom. I put my hair in a sock bun and put a braid around the bun. To finish it off I put my big blingy stud earrings in and applied mascara and chap stick. I sprayed Beautiful Day (perfume) before heading out the door quickly. "Hey Jacob." I say as I feel the sun beam on my skin. He looks at me and his eyebrow raises. "Uh, hey. You look really pretty." He says and I blush. "Do you mind if Mark comes?" Jacob asks and I nod. Mark walks out and joins us as we walk.

Marks P.O.V
Oh my gosh! I walked out to see a beautiful tan girl with blonde hair and she's a little shorter than Jacob. "Hey, this is Gabi. Gabi, Mark." I tried to tell her hello but I couldn't speak. Jacob told us that he would be right back and I figured that this would be a good chance to get to know her a little more. "So Gabi, you live right next door?" I ask but then shake my head. "Wow, that was a stupid question to ask...I mean obviously since I watched you walk out and meet Jacob. I mean..." She laughed and when she laughed it was like a million butterflies inside my stomach. hes so cute. "Yup I live right next door." We started talking when Jacob finally came back out.

Gabi's P.O.V

I reached for my door handel when I noticed two hands grabbing my wrists. I smiled as I look back to see Mark. I was expecting Jacob but instead I seen Mark. "Oh hi." I say as he smiles and lets go gently. "Gabi, I just wanted to let you know that I had an amazing time tonight. Jacob did too. Thank you for letting me join too." He said while fixing his hair. I sigh to myself and think 'Why do both of them have to be so cute!' He leans a little closer and so do I but then we both realize what we are doing and he turns around to walk off the porch with a smile that indicated to me that he was saying goodbye. "Bye Mark, tell Jacob I had a good time and for him to text me!" I say as he puts a thumbs up while walking into Jacobs house. I bit my lip and walked into my house when I noticed my mom leaning on the counter and talking on her phone. "Gabi, wait I need to talk to you after I get done on here." She whispered to me so I waited by sitting on the island in the kitchen. She finally hung up and sighed. My mom is a fashion designer and has a lot of fashion lines but she never knows where each one will and should be held. Wherever they are held we end up moving or she leaves for around 5 months. I hate it because it causes us to never see her AND shes always on the phone working. "So my next line will be in New York...you guys can come or stay but grandma and grandpa aren't able to watch you guys anymore and even though Alex is 16...I don't think she will provide enough attention to you while im gone....for a year...." My mom said and I frowned "Mom I don't think I can be away from you that long...Cant you just relocate it or something?" I ask and she chuckles, "I wish but unfortunately I cant. Look kiddo I asked Mrs. Sartorius if you could stay with them while im gone and Alex is going to stay with her friend Regan. Would you be okay with that?" My mom asked. I honestly was kind of nervous to live with Jacob for a whole year. Like what if I was in need of certain things like new pencils or school stuff or like when she washes my clothes...I'd feel bad. I thought all of that when I should've told my mom "I guess that will be ok. When do you leave?" I ask and Alex joins me. Alex was beautiful and my mom always asked her to be a model in her lines but she never agreed to it because her boyfriend and her were really close and that would mean that she would have to travel which makes me laugh. "Girls I leave tomorrow...so Mrs. Sartorius will be taking you to church and then Alex is off with Regan and you stay Jacob." I feel my eyes tearing up and my stomach was in knots. I walk up to my room and tart to pack. I start with my clothes and end with makeup and hair stuff. Oh my gosh...what am I getting myself into?
