Isaac and Alex - Book 2

Eight...

Isaac took a deep breath as he walked into Jacob's house. Nick smiled broadly when he spotted him.

"Come on make yourself at home" he said and pointed at the dinner table. Olivia was setting down plates and glasses. She had on a pair on short shorts and a tank top, it was impossible to not look twice and Isaac swallowed hard. She smiled seductively when she spotted him looking at her and walked back into the kitchen to set down serving dishes.

Jacob clapped his hand together and rubbed them when he saw food on the table.

"I'm starving" he said and walked past Isaac. Isaac followed and took a seat next to Jacob. "What are we having?"

Olivia lifted the lids from the serving dishes. "I made roast potatoes, chicken, rack of lamb, greens and for desert, red velvet cupcackes"

Isaacs smiled at the sound of that. Olivia took a seat next to Isaac, Jacob sat on the other side, Nick at the end and Eric next to Jacob and two other hunters next to him. Isaac swallowed hard recalling the last time he was in their presence. Olivia put her hand on his upper thigh and suddenly he had other things on his mind. As much as he wanted to remove her hand, he just grinned. She giggled and all through dinner she rubbed her legs on purpose against his. She even dropped her fork once and felt him there then apologized.

After dinner Eric invited the boys to the wreck room where he was smoking weed. He convinced them to take a puff and gave Isaac more. Isaac remembered Olivia entering. She was dancing and then he passed out. He got up when she dangled a glass of water infront of him. He squinted his eyes to the morning sun rays coming in through the window. She grabbed his hand helping him up.

"Come on stoner" she giggled and laced her fingers in his. He looked down at their hands joined then pulled lose to run his fingers through his hair. She giggled as she glanced back at him.

"Come on" she said and he followed her as she ran upstairs and then opened a door to one of the guest rooms. Isaac stepped inside. There was a double bed covered in blue linen and there was blue curtains.

"You like it?" Nick asked standing in the doorway. He threw a credit card on the bed. "The day you were born" he said "Thats the pin. My children should have the best but in the end its all up to you"

Isaac startled when his phone vibrated. He hesitated then answered Alex's call.

"Where are you?"

"I'm at Jacob's"

"Again. Wow. We're still going to the movies later right?"

"Yes" he let out "I'll pick you up at seven"

Isaac opened the closet and found new clothes with tags on, expensive clothes. He bit down on his fingers. These were the clothes he always walked past in the clothing store.

"Gym time" Jacob called out dressed in a pair of shorts and sneakers. Isaac followed him to the back of the house where the gym was. They found Eric already busy punching away on a punching bag.

"I know you're a hybrid but you still need to know how to fight" Eric said as he taught Isaac a few moves.

Isaac got a call from Erastus.

"Hi, I'm at the gym and you are not here" Erastus said.

"I'm at Jacob's had a session here instead"

"Okay" Erastus replied sounding somewhat dissapointed and concerned. "I hope you know what you are doing"

Isaac nodded even though Erastus could not seen him. He hoped the same. "Yes" he replied. Then a wet towel swashed his face.

"Come on, Olivia made breakfast" Jacob let out.

"I got to go" Isaac said in the phone and ended the call before he listened to what Erastus finished his good byes.

"We're going to grab a few drinks at the bar later tonight" Jacob said.

"I can't, I'm meeting Alex"

"It's just one drink"

Isaac agreed but the one turned to two drinks and when he was about to go he saw Olivia having an argument with an older boy. He grabbed her wrist and Isaac intervened.

"I think you better let her go"

"Who are you, her next fling?"

Isaac did not quite know what he was to her.

"Just let her go okay"

The boy lifted his fists and swung but Isaac grabbed his fist in one hand and forced his arm down.

Olivia rushed outside and Isaac followed. She was hugging herself breathing in air.

"You okay?" He asked. She spun around

"You're already outside, just take me home, please" She begged. He nodded and took out his keys.

After he dropped off Olivia he drove to Alex's but no one answered. He tried to call her but she ignored his calls. He cursed the air and looked in the direction of his father's house. He was not looking forward to spending the night alone so he turned the car around.

Alex peeped through the window and bit down on her nails when she saw Isaac turning the car around and drive off. She was hoping he would go to his father's to be close to her. It was getting harder to ignore the feeling in her gut that he was pulling away from her.
