She would die for them

CHAPTER THREE (The aftermath)

"Where is he?! He had to pay a guard to get us out! And usually, they say no! This isn't fair! I was better in prison!" Liya continued

"Liya! Get a hold of yourself, this is good! Were free! And Plus, food." Liya stood

"Food?" Liya ran to find herself in the Livingroom

"Where is the kitchen?!" Jake walked to his chair, not in his usual suit

"What, are you wearing?" she asked and Jake looked at her,

"You don't know what Pajamas are?" Jake asked,

"No, I know it's just, you're wearing them." She laughed her heart out, Jake soon after buying her and Emily a pair of pajamas Liya got a pair of black bottoms with white small skulls and a plain black t-shirt. Emily got a nightgown that had unicorns all over.

"Mr. Micane-" Jake began to talk before she asked anything

"Do you know what love it?" he slouched in his lazy boy awaiting an answer

"Yes," Liya answered

"Do you?" he asked Emily

"Yes." She replied,

"Teach me," he said, "Teach me what love is, and how to feel it," Jake told them

"What do you mean?" Liya asked

"I never loved anyone...But one." Liya and Emily were shocked by this news

"Who?" Emily asked

"My wife, she was beautiful. She did many things, but after her death..." he paused

"What about her death?" Emily asked. Jake started to cry, Liya wanted to hug him, even though she usually didn't hug others, he was just trying to find someone to listen to him, to talk to. Liya got up and hesitantly walked to him, she embraced him in a warm hug, she felt different, she felt warmer, her last boyfriend was a cold-hearted freak that wanted her dead.

"What are you doing?" Jake asked

"Hugging you, now shut up. You're a big sap!" Liya demanded, she smiled. Liya never felt happy before,

"Thank you, Liya..." Liya broke from the hug to see Emily smile

"Oh, shut up Emily," Liya said giggling

"He ain't my first, I guess I like people with a big heart", Liya left to find the kitchen.

"Found it!" Liya yelled. Emily walked up to him,

"That was a lie." She said deadly serious

"Just a trick, try to get her on your side." She continued

"No, it wasn't" Jake got up and looked through his photos taking out a picture of his wife,

"She looks like..." Emily pause

"I know, you say nothing about it...Please," Jake begged,

"Fine, only because you helped us, and her, she had a hard first year. She needs someone." Jake got their chef to take the day off. The chef was in shock when he had the day off,

"What do you like?" Jake asked

"Food-wise? Or in general?" Emily asked

"General." Emily went on and talked about her husband with three kids

"Maybe, I could live with them? I'll still visit! I'll bring my sons and Quinn! My husband" Jake nodded, Emily, packed some things and left tossing a page with a phone number on it. Liya smiled

"Miss, you, sister."

Liya turned to Jake

"Mr. Micane" Liya pause because she heard something extraordinary

"Call me Jake." She would smile that he was being so generous.

"Favorite food," he asked,

"All, no sushi though." She answered,

"Ok, my turn, Favorite band?" Liya questioning him

"Buried in the sky" he smiled shyly

"Really? mine too!" she said excitedly Liya's stomach growled

"Hungry?" Jake stood up

"Always," She left to find the kitchen, after finding it, Liya saw Jake already making food

"Is that," she stuck her nose up smelling the air

"It is! Man, where did you learn to cook?" Liya laughed

"My father, he learned to cook after I started going to pre-school," Jake responded

"Jake, do you?" Liya was about to ask

"I believe so, I mean if that's what you mean..." he mumbled.

"Jake, I'll be clear, just because I live here doesn't mean it's going to happen, don't get me wrong, I do like you. Just as friends!" Soon after their meal, they were on the two different ends of a couch.

"Wow!" Liya exclaimed Jake smiled finishing her meal. It went quiet for a few minutes before Jake asked

"Why were you in prison?" it was no touchy subject,

"I killed my boyfriend, He tried to kill me using a knife but seeming I had a gun. You know the story" And it went silent.

"Feisty," Jake giggled

"What? You're not scared?" Liya exclaimed

"I can tell you one thing after you were put into that cell after I set the rule if no-one listened, I killed my wife, she is like your husband, murderous, hungry for things beyond her reach," it was quiet.

"I get like that sometimes two. But I can't have everything, you know?" Liya looked at Jake,

"Jake, I..." Jake stopped her

"I know" Jake leaned over, and from that forward, things would become different.
