Life, Love and Tragedy

Chapter 26

The talk
Hannah's pov
I woke up the next morning and I wanted the ground to swallow me up. I felt like I couldn't face the day. There was a knock at my door I dragged myself up and opened it. It was Sian and Racheal.
H- ugh
R- good morning to you too
H- sorry I just feel shitty
S- and we are here to make you feel unshitty
I laughed
H- unshitty?
S- what it's a word
R- of course it is Sian, keep believing that
Racheal and I locked eyes and laughed
Sian looked annoyed. We looked at her and she burst out in laugher too
S-well can we come in then? Or are we just gonna stand in your door step?
H- come in then.
They walked in and bounced onto my bed. I slowly trudged behind them. Sian walked over to the curtains and pulled them open. I acted like a vampire, the light was blinding.
S- get out of this rut. He hasn't broken Up with you! It's not over! I'll admit it's not in the best place but it's not over. And we are in Dubai! It's not like you will be here again anytime soon, you need to enjoy yourself! You can't come back from Dubai pale you need a tan!
R- and besides, staying in your hotel room moping about isnt going to do you any good. You need to get out and have fun. Take your mind of it! Come on look at that beach out there! It's calling us. Racheal Sian Hannah, I have a perfect spot for you. Racheal has reserved sunbeds so you better get ur asses down here!
I laughed!
S- see that's that smile I wanna see! Come on.
H- ok I'll go get a shower youse go and start getting tanned
R-don't leave me too long I don't wanna go much blacker than I already am
H- ok I'll be down soon.
The girls went down and I got ready.
I threw on a pair of shorts and a vest top with my bikini underneath and went down stairs, I was walking through the reception when a familiar face walked through and caught my eyes. Jake. I stopped in my tracks and he did too. Then he walked over to me.
J- Hannah, can we talk?
H- Yep, er yes of course we can. Now?
J- nows good.
We took a seat on the couches in reception. There was an awkward silence for a moment.
J- Hannah?
I looked into his eyes with a deep sense of hope but he turned away.
J- you love me right?
H- Jake of course I do! Your the onl--
J- why then? Why didn't you tell me?!
I paused for a second.
H- because, because I didn't know how. It had happened before we were together anyway. I didn't cheat on you, I never would.
J- oh did you say that to make me feel guilty? Because I did?
H- no! No of course not! I'm not trying to guilt trip you. I'm just trying to tell you what happened. The truth.
J- what. What that you were with Nicky and obviously you still have feelings for him otherwise you would have kicked him in the balls and told him to fuck off instead of telling him to show his feelings. That I was only a rebound from him. As soon as he admitted his feelings you'd run straight back into his arms? Screw me and Lucy. Who cares and the cheater and the ice queen? That's the truth isn't it?!
The tears fan down my face!
H- no! Jake it's not! I promise you. Yes I was with Nicky, but the rest just isn't true! I don't have feelings for him. Ok I'll admit when we got together, I was still having thoughts of him, but every part of me hates him for what he did. He told me that he was going to dump Lucy so that we could be together. He truth was he was never going to do that! Apparently he loved me but he couldn't break her heart. And he couldn't even tell me himself, I found out from Chloe! And the bit about still having feelings? That's a load of bull. I told him if he'd really had feelings for me he would have shown them. I never said destroy your wedding, we will live happily ever after holding and skipping, destroying others lives along the way! No! He came into me before the wedding and I told him I loved you! I want you and he can drop dead. I promise you.
I put my hand on his knee but he pulled away.
J- I don't know. How can I be sure your telling me the truth and your not going to double cross me in some evil twisted plot of revenge on me for Jessica?
H- this is how.
I kissed him, he kissed back. I felt our fingers interlocking and bodies getting closer.
H- I'm sorry. I promise you, no more secrets.
J- no more.
We put our foreheads together and laughed. We were ok.
H- the girls! I promised I'd met them on the beach over an hour ago!
J- I'm sure they won't mind. Come on let's go and make up some more.
We went upstairs into our room. I jumped on him and wrapped my legs around his waist, he collapsed onto the bed. Landing on my feet.
H- ow!
J- sorry! Are you ok?!
H- I am now that we are together again.
We kissed passionately again and again. Clothes filled the floor and the blanket came over our heads.
It was perfect. He is perfect ...
Jakes pov
