Lost In His Eyes - Jakob Delgado

Chapter 18 - No Messages

Cara POV:

I woke up the next morning, the smell of Ethan's alluring scent filling the room as I fluttered my eyes to adjust to the light. As the room became clearer, I turned to find Ethan still asleep. His lips lightly parted and his breathes slow and heavy as they were felt upon my bare neck. Whilst looking at Ethan I noticed our legs to be intertwined, the hairs on his legs brushing lightly against me and his ever so soft skin that became noticeable to me now, sent shivers up my spine as his warm touch gave me the urge to do so. I didn't want to move from where I was laying as the warmth of Ethan's body next to mine was impossible to leave and walk away from.

As I was laying down, Ethan's legs still intertwined with mine, he began to shift a little causing his scent to refill the room, making me smile. I could tell he was waking up as time went on he began to move around more before his eyes slowly opened, revealing those dazzling brown eyes that I had always loved.

"Morning", I said smirking as I sat up a little more, still making sure to not move my legs too much.

"Morning", he replied in his husky morning which caused me to zone out for a minute as I could feel my cheeks heating up. "Sleep ok?", he added.

"Yes thanks, What about you?"

"Better then I have in a very long time.", This caused me to blush as I sat my head back down on the pillow beside Ethan's, his eyes then making their way to the end of the bed where our legs were. He only just noticed and for some reason I was terrified of what he would say or do next.

A smirk was then seen on his face as he turned to move my hair from my face. We then sat staring at each other, our noses lightly touching and our lips so close yet so far. His eyes captivated me as his hand made its way back onto my waist where he had previously placed it last night. His lips seemed to be getter closer and closer to mine, our noses now beside each others. I knew what was happening and I couldn't bring myself to let anything happen as I slowly tried to pull away, I could hear the buzzing of Ethan's phone which was placed in the dip of the doona in which was between Ethan and I. At this moment we both just pulled away, panting a little as Ethan licked his bottom lip and picked up his phone. His face confused as I followed his eyes to the end of his phone screen.

"Whats wrong?"

"Nothing", he replied blankly, turning off his phone quickly before putting it underneath the doona, out of reach.

ETHAN'S POV

'have you seen Cara?' - Jakob

I then remembered what I had done last night once Cara fell asleep. I couldn't help but feel guilty for what I had done but as my feelings grew stronger for Cara last night I knew the only way I could have her was to do what I did.

As she was sleeping her phone began to buzz, not just once, multiple times. I thought to just leave and ignore it but as time went on more and more messages started to come through. Not being able to contain myself I had to see who was trying to reach her. Of course when I picked up the phone the same name was seen all over her lock screen. Jakob.

As I read over all the text messages he had sent her, something came over me and the only thing I thought to do was get rid of them. The longer I stared at her messages, the more that came through.

'I need you Cara'

'Something happened'

'I don't know what to do'

'Please reply, I need you right now'

'Where are you? you need to be here'

'Look I'm sorry just please, something bad has happened and I need someone right now'

I knew what he was doing and I wouldn't let her be played for a fool. He was doing this to get her back but he couldn't do something like that to her. I knew Jakob more than anyone and because of that I knew this wasn't going to be anything serious let alone anything at all. So I did what I thought was the best for Cara. I deleted all the messages Jakob had sent her, although this was out of jealous that wasn't the only thing, all I wanted was the best for Cara and being with Jakob wasn't something that was going to do that for her. I then waited with her phone in my hand, waiting to see if anymore messages came through that I had to delete to avoid her seeing anything but no more seemed to have been sent. I then placed the phone next to her once again, making sure to put it exactly where I found it in the first place.

I know it was wrong of me to do but who else would of protected her?

JAKOBS POV:

I woke up on a cold and stiff chair that was surrounded by many just like it as I wiped my eyes from the tears from the early hours of the morning. The smell of anaesthetic then hit me suddenly as I tried to gain the strength to pull myself up from the chair beneath me. My legs were fumbling and my eyes stinging every time I shut them. As I continued to try and pull myself up, the hand helping to do so was now covered by someone elses. I quickly turned my head to find Mikaila staring back at me, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Jakob, Were not allowed to see her yet."

I then used my other hand which was not covered by Mikaila's to wipe her tears away. "I know, I just need to walk for a bit. Do you think you will be ok here?"

"I will be fine, go ahead", she replied sniffling as she took her hand off mine. "I will come find you if we hear anything." I then nodded and forced out a smile as I used the last bit of my strength to pull myself up and make my way to the front of the hospital. I took a deep breath once I was out of the building, letting the fresh air fill my lungs and hit my bare legs which were immedietly covered with goosebumps. I could feel my cheeks become numb and cool as I pulled my phone out to find the messages to only have been read by Cara. I know she asked for time and space but at a time like this I thought she would at least put aside our differences as we needed each other more than anything right now and I wasn't just saying that.
