The Dark Phase

Chapter 18

I ran and dashed into the door. I was slamming it as hard as I could.
It was pouring down heavily. I was all wet. Every single of my hair strand carried liters of water.

"Stacy! What are you doing here?" Jacob asked as he opened the door wide for me. I jumped and threw myself at him and kissed him, hard; it was a passionate kiss. My fingers ran across his hair, to his neck. He held me by my waist and pulled me closer.
"What you doing here?" he asked again as he let me go.

"Just shut up!" I said as I grabbed him and kissed him again, this time harder. We both lost yourselves in the moment.

"Morning honey" Jacob said as he kissed my forehead gently.

"Hm" I mumbled as I rubbed my eyes gently.

"Here's your coffee" he said as he placed the cup on the table, by the side of the bed.

"What's the time?" I asked as I sat in an upright position.

"It's seven thirty" he replied as he sipped his coffee.

"Oh!" I exclaimed as I picked my coffee up.

"You ok?" he asked as he gently touched my cheek.

"Yeah! Why-why you asking that?" I hesitated a bit.

"Well you were all wet last night. I was just worried, you could have caught a cold" he replied as he took another sip.

"No I'm alright. You know what; I have a great plan!" I said as I changed the topic.

"And what is it?" he asked.

"We could go out, you know for an outing or something" I suggested.

"Yeah sure where you wanna go?" he asked as he smiled.
I had no answer to that. My mind was empty, but it was still flooded by one and only one thought.
"Tell him bitch!" my inner goddess shouted. She was right but I have no guts. I swallowed a lump.
I gathered all the piece of energy and started,"I have something I need to tell you" I finally spoke.

"You're dad is coming and he is out of his mind, I know" Jacob said as he looked straight into my eyes.
My eyes opened wide. My heart sunk. How did he knew that?!
I wanted to ask, but all my courage was shattered into pieces and fell on the ground and in no time disappeared.

"El texted you and I read that by chance" he answered my unasked question.

"I-I-I" I stopped I had no more strength left; I busted into tears. I was crying like a child.
Jacob wrapped me in his loving arms and kissed my forehead.

"It's gonna be alright" he whispered rubbing my arm, gently.

"No, no it's not. Everything's shattered. It's over everything's over!" my voice was loud, my eyes red.
"You got no idea what had happened! You have no idea!" I added.

"What-what had happened?" he asked, his voice filled with concerned.

"What do you think for what dad is coming here! To meet you?! To ask you to marry me?! To bless us with a long and happy life?! No! He is not coming for that!" I shouted, everything filled inside me came out at once.

"So...what's-what's he coming for?" he asked again.
I said nothing. My eyes were red, my face pale. We both knew what was coming forward. And we both knew we weren't prepared.....

here was a breif moment of silence and then i finally spoke.
"He wanted me to marry Kevin, but i never felt right with him. And now he wants me to fullfil his promise" i said, sobbing.
"What promoise?" he asked.
"Dad promised Kev's dad that of we got married he would sign his empire, a part of it" i replied.
"So how would your dad benefit from it?" he asked.
"Honestly speaking, i don't know. He always have a plan prepared" i replied wipping my tear off.
"Don't worry it'll be alright" he replied while he held me close.

It was seven in the evening and i was home alone. Jacob insisted on staying back but i convinced him to go to work. And somewhere i need some time alone, to sort my thoughts and clear my head. I new i need some off time to chair myself up.
My thoughts where distured by a ring on the door bell.
"Comin'!" I said as i placed the dish on the table. I knew it would be Jacob and as i knew he was stressed i made him his favorite meal.
"Welcome honey" i greeted with a smile.
"Hey honey" replied a deep voice.
"Dad!" I screced. How the hell he knew where to find me?! A wave of panic ran through my body. I froze for a minute.
"Won't you invite me in?" he asked.
"Yeah, sure please come in" i replied as cleared the way for him.
"How are you Stacy, how have you been?" he asked as he pulled a chair out and sat on it.
"I am fine" i replied as i sat on the couch.
"Don't you miss home Stacy? Dont you miss New York?" he gently asked.
"I did dad, but that was before i found peace" i replied as i held myself thoughter.
He looked at me and then looked around.

I slowly picked my phone up from the table and called Jacob.
"Are you happy Stacy?" he asked as he looked straight into my eyes. It was a weird question for me. It was first time in years since he asked this.
"Stacy i am your dad, i always wanted to see you happy" he added.
"Dad?" I asked, confused.
"Stacy i know maybe i would have forced my ways on you, but it was all for your benefits. But in this me and your mom lacked to realize that we might me hurting you" he said.
"Dad i-i know you and mom love me, and everything you did was for my well being but you went too far" i replied.
"I know honey and i am sorry" he said.
"Sorry?! Dad will that sorry bring brother back?!" I asked as tears started to pool into my eyes.
"What? What do you mean? Stacy he is in LA. And he is pretty happy" he replied.
"How do you know that?" I questioned.
"We are in contact. Stacy he is my son, how do you expect me to loose touch" he replied.

"Dad can i ask you something?" I asked.
"Sure honey" he replied.
"Why did you force Kevin on me?" I asked.
"Honey i never knew he would turn out to be such a brat. If you would have told us what he did to you, then we would have never let him be around you" he said.
"Dad can i please stay here?" I asked.
"If you're happy then you can" he replied looking directly into my eyes.
"Dad, are you-are you serious? I mean i thought you were mad at me?" I asked.
"Yes i was, but seeing you happy made me forget everything. Stacy you are, you were and always will be my baby girl i love you" he said as he looked into my eyes and smiled.
