Mr. Officer ( A Short Jacob Latimore Story)

Ch 27: Drifting away

I slowly opened my eyes with Jacob laid on top of me with his strong arms around me. It felt so good and I felt a little sigh of relief, I was happy he respected my wishes and didn't try anything. "Jacob" I called his name moving him a little. He quickly jumped up "You okay? He asked.

"Yeah, good morning" I chuckled at his awareness. He slowly got from around me "Good morning" he smiled kissing my cheek. I stretched a little looking around the room. He yawned began speaking "I was thinking we could go to -

"Jacob no" I said cutting him off. I didn't want to go anywhere especially since yesterday. I just wanted to relax by myself.

"Dang you didn't even let me finish what I was going to say" he said with a slight attitude. I already knew he probably wanted to go on a date but I wasn't in the mood I still kind of wanted my space, I appreciated him holding me all last night and being there for me because I needed it but I noticed I never had my space to regroup. Right after the accusations, the huge argument, and quitting my job I had a miscarriage. This is still a lot to handle and I just want a few days to myself.

"J-Jake I need some space please" I begged. Scared to see his reaction he grew confused "Huh? I thought everything was good? He asked

"It is I just need-

"You know Tia I understand that you have a lot on your plate right now but you're beginning to be a bit too much" he said getting up.

"Excuse me? I asked looking at him like he lost his mind. "You heard me" he said putting his clothes back on.

"Well of that's the damn case you don't have to date me if I'm too much go get you something mediocre then" I said crossing my arms.

"You would think you would want some comfort but it seems like everything I'm doing isn't right. I'm just trying to love your ass girl and you wont let me " he said walking out my bedroom door. I followed him

"Its not even like that" I said. He turned around facing me "Well what is it like? He asked raising his voice. Now I was getting mad because he wasn't trying to hear me out I didn't say let's break up, I just want some space.

"I just need space, I'm not saying let's break up because I don't want that to happen I just want to regroup and clear my head" I explained

"Cool" he said acting nonchalant.

"LOOK EVERYONE HAS A WAY OF HANDLING THEIR PROBLEMS YOU HAVE YOURS AND I HAVE MINE. "I yelled in frustration. It may be beneficial for you to be right by my side because it makes you feel better but for me its not beneficial just please respect my wishes" I said lowering my voice.

"You know what, you're right take as long as you need alright" he said lightly pinching my cheek before he left. I rolled my eyes sitting back on the couch.

Jacob

I was growing impatient with Tia I think she's still upset about last night. I apologized for that and the reason we weren't talking for months. I started to think about what she was saying and maybe it was one person getting in our way and I needed to fix it.

I still wanted to know why Sydney knew our business and why she was acting so petty towards Tia for no reason and the only person I could think about was Alix. I wasted no time going to her house. Last time I checked she had a boyfriend but I didn't care we had some unfinished business we needed to handle.

15 minutes later

I rung on her doorbell hoping she would be home. I didn't see her car outside nor her truck was I even at the right house. The door finally opened and I was greeted by a pregnant Alix. She in fact picked up some weight, looks like she hasn't gotten any sleep. I couldn't believe she was pregnant but I will admit she looks beautiful carrying that child whoever it is. I was so overwhelmed in my thoughts I didn't even say hi.
