Chapter 17

adeline pov

sometimes, you don't always get what you expect. life is full of surprises, good or bad. but knowing that jacob is a fighter now, i can't tell if that's good or bad.

a bad surprise is when your period decides to come for a unexpected hello.

but i don't know if jacob will think of me differently. my past is a nightmare, a complete terror. sometimes i think it's something that would come out of a movie.

you know how everyone says 'oh, that'll never happen to me'? well, i guess that's not true. at any moment your life could make a complete turn and make everything different. everyone could change, could completely turn their back on you. even worse when you least expect it.

"you okay? i know that was hard," jacob questions, rubbing the side of my arm as we are still in his back seat with me curled up on top of him.

the simple gestures he does towards me drives me crazy, makes me feel safe. he doesn't rush anything, he goes at a pace.

"yeah. we can leave now," i mumble into his chest.

"you sure?" he asks, wanting to know if i was just saying that to get rid of him.

"positive." he sits up and opens the door, carrying me back into the passenger seat and buckles me in. he heads over to the drivers side and buckles himself in, looking at me again to make sure i'm okay.

"are you cold?" jacob curiously asks.

"a little, but i'm fine," i assure him. but i see him lean towards the back, grabbing something under his seat.

"here you go," he says, laying the blanket out on me. i give him a confused look but he's to concerned about me.

"how about you go to sleep," he suggests. i decide not to protest and lay my head on the consul, moving around to get comfortable.

jacob starts to drive as i close my eyes, hoping i'll be able to sleep and forget about everything. but i feel his right hand caress my arm and then massaging my hair, sending tingles up and down my body.

i smile lightly to myself and let myself drift off into sleep.

"adeline, we're here," a voice whispers above me.

god?

"no, it's not god," a familiar voice chuckles. was i thinking out loud? how embarrassing.

"i'm comfy," i explain, hoping he'll leave me alone. but two arms scoot under me and scoop me up. i nuzzle into jacob chest, feeling safe and secure that way.

as he's leading me into a room in my house, i inhale his cologne, making me smile at how good he smells after he got back from the gym.

i'm being placed on my bed as he makes sure the blanket is still making me warm. he adjusts my body position and makes sure i'm comfortable. i open my eyes a bit and look at him, giving him a heart-warming smile and he gives me one in return.

he leans down and leaves a lingering kiss on my forehead, holding his lips there for a while. the kiss sent tingles from my forehead and to my toes.

as much as i wanted to kiss jacob, he knew i was hurting and didn't want to pressure me. the wait for that one kiss is taking forever. sometimes i wish i could just go for it and have the courage, but we all know i can't do that.

"jacob?" i whisper ever so lightly.

"yes?"

"can you um- can you hold me?" i ask nervously.

he smiles and kisses my forehead again, "of course."

i scoot over and he hops in bed. i lift some of the blanket off me and place it on him. we tangle our legs together and he wraps both arms around me, placing his chin on the top of my head.

"i'm sorry that you had to find out this way," jacob explains. "i know it was a lot to take in."

was it a lot to take in? yes. it didn't help that asher was a total ass towards me either. but he just want himself either, and i was destine to find out why.

"it's alright. i basically spilled out my whole life story towards you," i chuckle.

"you know, you are something adeline. you are so much more different than other girls because of your background. i'm extremely proud you ranted to me. if you didn't, then i just would be a lost puppy," jacob tells me. i smile towards him and snuggle into him more.

i always knew from the moment that i met jacob, he was a good looking kid. you would have never guessed what he did for a living. but that's what's special about him.

i guess we all have our secrets to spill. whether they come out naturally or forcefully, they will come out some how.

i look up at jacob and see his eyes closed, him sleeping as gracefully as possible. his brown hair was slightly messed up, but it still looked perfect. his cheeks were as red as always, making me smile. his lips were ever so plump and pink, making me want to kiss him even more than what i already wanted to.

but instead, i place a kiss on his jawline and tuck my head under his chest once again.

i knew i liked jacob, that was something i couldn't deny. but i knew that my liking for him was become stronger every second. and soon enough, i couldn't be around him with just being a friend. it would be too much to take in.

but right now, i'll take what i can get.
