Mr. Officer ( A Short Jacob Latimore Story)

Chapter 25: Recovery

I slowly opened my eyes looking at the window. It was dark outside and I wondered what day it was. I turned around grabbing my phone it was 8 at night. I slowly got up walking towards the bathroom. I turned on the light to look at myself in the mirror. I honestly looked like I got ran over by a pick up truck. I sat on the toilet to use the bathroom just thinking about everything I still couldn't believe this really happened. I looked at my hand and it had a little bit of blood on it .I rolled my eyes washing it off. My doctor told me the bleeding would stop in a few days although its been almost a week since it happened. I turned on the shower letting the water get hot. I stripped down stepping into the steaming shower. I felt like I haven't bathed in days. I grabbed my body wash lathering up my body. I shortly dipped my whole head it letting the water rain down my body. I began to cry at least no one could hear me. Once I finished bathing I threw on a new set of pajamas. I didn't even know if Jacob was still here. I opened my door walking out towards my living room to see him watching a basketball game. I felt so jittery inside and had some butterflies flowing around he never left my side as he promised.

"Hey" I said. He turned "Hey you" he smiled getting up walking towards me. "Sorry I overslept" I said yawning.

"Overslept? Babe you slept all day yesterday you didn't wake up once" he said pointing at the take out boxes of food. "Here's breakfast lunch and dinner" he chuckled. I laughed a little but also was a bit sad. "Are you hungry? He asked.

I sighed "No not really"

"Well you have to eat especially since you didn't eat yesterday, at all" he said. "Ummm no I'm fine" I said walking back to my room. I looked out of the window just staring at the city line. I felt him behind me "You okay? He asked. I lightly smirked letting him know that I was fine even though I wasn't. "Yeah, I'm fine" I said turning around. "No you're not" he said sitting on the edge of my bed. He then pulled me in front of him and pecked my stomach wrapping his hands around my waist. It was silence nothing was said and that's all I needed.

The Next Day

Jacob

I decided to take Tia out on a date she's been in the house for damn near a week. I wanted her to get some air and get out before she really gets depressed. It was already 3pm and I made reservations for a nice restaurant. "Babe" I called her. She rolled over "Hmmm" she mumbled.

"Get up we're going out, somewhere nice" I said. She groaned "Ughhhhh I'm tired" she said. "You've been sleeping all day for 5 days come on get up you 2 hours to get ready" I said. She lifted her body up staring at me as if she was amazed or shocked "Come on, I'll be back at 5" I said.

"Okay" she said.

"Were are we going? She asked getting up. "Don't worry about it, just look nice" I said before leaving.

Tia

I will admit Jacob has been making me feel so much better. He's everything I ever wanted in a man the fact that he's stayed here just to watch me sleep met so much to me. The fact that he just keeps his word, and just tells it how it is gives me butterflies. I did need to eat matter of fact I was starving. Although I was still sad I knew that I needed to get some air. I think I'm even more traumatized the way it happened. In my bakery where I conduct business was crazy. I'm still embarrassed thinking about it. I looked in my closet finding a simple black dress to throw on. I wasn't in the mood to go all in I picked out a simple leather dress with my black louboutins
