Seeking The Truth

A Dozen Red Roses

The next day flew by in a blur. When school ended I went out into the parking lot I saw Jacob leaning up against my car. I gave him a questioning lookas I walked to him he just smiled. I gave him and even more confused look. When I finally reached my car he pulled me into his arm and took me by surprise by placing a small soft kiss on my lips. He smiled broadly and hugged me to his chest tightly.

"What's up with you?" I apprehensively asked, looking up at him with my eyebrows raised.

"Nothing," He said, looking down with a gleam in his eyes. "I love you, you know that right?" I gave him a funny look and giggled, and nodded fiercely. 

"I loved you too!" I whisper, yelled enthusiastically and snuggled closer to his chest.

"Can you drive me home?" Jacob asked.

"Where's your car?"

"In the shop."

"Oh, lets go then." I said letting go of him and got in the car, before we left I turned on the radio and perfect two came playing from my speakers. Then we were off, the short car ride was silent but not an awkward silence but the kind that is comfortable the kind that made you feel as though you were having the most amazing conversation ever. When we finally reached his house I looked over and smiled.

"You want to come in and work on homework?" Jacob asked

"Sure why not?" I exclaimed happily, I put the car in park and shut off the ignition and we got out. When we got to his door he fumbled around with his keys for a minute trying to find his house key. When he finally found it and opened the door I went in and sat on the couch and began to take books out of my backpack.

Jacob came over and said, "Are you hungry or thirsty?"

"No." I answered without looking up. I brushed my hair out of my face and behind my ear and looked up and saw Jacob looking down. He bent down his head and I met him half way and he pressed his lips to mine and bit my bottom lip asking for entrance, I quickly granted him entrance and as I did minty taste exploded in my mouth. We broke away hearing the front door open.

"Jacob?" We heared Mrs. Weston yell, "You home?"

"Yeah Mom, in here." Jake hollered back. A minute later Mrs. Weston's face appeared around the corner.

"Alannah, Sweetie how nice to see you!" She exclaimed running to give me a hug.

"Hey Mrs. Weston." I laughed hugging her back.

"I told you to call me Dee Dee." She said, holding me at arms length examining me. "My, I swear you get prettier and prettier every time I see you!"

"Thank you Mrs.- Dee Dee." I replied, She smiled and walked to the kitchen. I looked at my phone and saw it was already 5:00 P.M. "I really should go its getting late." I said packing up my untouched homework.

"Okay i'll walk you out." Jacob replied, he picked up my book bag and we walked out the door and to my car. I unlocked my car and Jacob put my bag in the back. I hugged him and smiled up at him. He crashed his lips to mine and mumbled, "I love you." Against my lips causing me to giggle.

I smiled against his lips and replied, "I love you too." pulling away and he opened my door and I got into my car and he shut it behind me. He waved as I backed out of the driveway and he waved back. I turned on the radio because the silence was just so damn loud and began my drive home. When I got home nobody was there I took my book bag upstairs to my room and came back down stairs to go to the kitchen to get a glass of milk. When I got the refrigerator I found a not and it read" 

"Hi Honey, Abbie and I have a business trip, be back Wednesday." I threw the note on the counter as the doorbell rang. When I opened it I saw a man holding a dozen gorgeous red roses.
