She must feel my presence because she turns around to me so I hold up my knife and run at her. "ARCHIE STOP!" she says as I pin her into the hard brick wall. I hold my knife up higher and tears stream down her face. "Archie you don't have to do this...
I pull into Jacobs driveway with tears filling my eyes. I have to do this. I can't stay guilty forever and keep this from him. Sighing, I get out of my car to knock on his door. He opens it and smiles from ear to ear. "Hey Angel Face!" he kisses my forehead.
I gulp. "Can I talk to you?" I ask and he nods, letting me into his house. We sit down on his couch and he puts his hand on my side, waiting for me to talk. "I-I um" I nervously play with my fingers.
He holds my hand. "It's okay baby, just tell me" he smiles.
My heart melts. He's so damn cute... but what I did isn't. "I... I cheated on you" tears run down my cheeks and he drops my hand then stands up with his jaw dropped. "I didn't mean i-"
"What the fuck, Katie?!" his voice raises. "You cheated?! With who?!" he asks and I look at him with a frown, we both know with who. "That damned death row prisoner! Of course! You were always fond of him!" he walks off.
I stand up. "I'm so sorry! It just happened? It was just a kiss!" I say and he look at me. "Okay two" I add and he rolls his eyes. "But-"
He shakes his head. "Just leave it, Katie. I can't believe you cheated on me with Archie, you barely even know him. Clearly I can't trust you with that guy... so either you stay the hell away from that guy or we're over"
I drop my jaw. "I -I can't! He's getting better, laughing and smiling! I can't leave him... I'm helping him and if I leave him, he's gonna go back to his ways" I say.
Jacob shakes his head. "Then were over. Get out" he points at the door and I look at him. "Go!" he slightly shouts and I frown as I leave.
I get in my Prius and drive to the empty playground Archie and I were at. I sit on the swing and look at the ground with my tears hitting the sand. Then I see feet standing in front of me so I look up to see Archie.... "I knew I'd find you here" he sits on the swing next to me.
I wipe my tears. "Why were you looking for me?"
He sighs and looks at me. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to kiss you... I just... you're so damn beautiful, Tiger" he says, making me smile. "And I want to restart everything and get to know you... I want to know everything about you"
My smile grows, "Tell why don't we play a game where we ask each other questions?" I ask and he nods. "I'll start, what's your favorite color?"
"Red" he says. "Yours?"
"Burgundy!" I chirp, making him laugh. "Favorite animal? Mines a horse, which is obvious!" I chuckle.
He playfully shakes his head. "A Tiger" he smirks. "Now forget all those silly questions, would you have sex with a killer that was in death row?" he smirks and I look at him with my jaw dropped. His smirk grows and he raises an eyebrow.
