The light in her darkness (Slow Updates)

~chapter seven~

I couldn't do it, I dropped my notepad noisily on the floor, I could feel the eyes of literally everyone in the restaurant boring holes into my back as I walked back to the kitchen.

I removed my apron and half ran out through the back door.

I couldn't stay there, serving tables while he was there with his wife to be, making jokes and laughing and shit, I wouldn't.

I'd find another job, anyway I could.

"Andy wait" Ivan called to me, I didn't want to talk to anyone right now, I quickened my pace, I could feel the tears on my cheek, I wiped them swiftly with the back of my palm.

Ivan grabbed my elbow and turned me around to face him.

"Listen Andrea, this is probably the best job you'll be getting around here, you can't just throw it away like that because Jacob is here" he said disappointment was evident in his eyes.

I shook my head, I couldn't do it "I don't care" I said "Ivan I can't stay there and serve tables while he's with his future wife..."a sob drowned my words.

"I won't be able to handle it Ivan, I'll loose my mind" I said and turned to leave, just as I turned, I heard the back door open, and saw the unmistakable silhouette of Jacob, with his tall wonderfully made body and his beautiful eyes.

I need to get away from him, far away.

~~~~~

By the time I got back home, it was still morning, I literally had nothing to do with my life at that point except wallow in my own misery.

I tossed my shoes to the side, I was usually a very organized person, but that day, I couldn't care less where my shoes ended up.

I finally decided to play video games with my phone, hoping it would get my mind off things.

I picked the phone up, *a new text messege from unknown number* great! Just great.
I knew exactly who it was, why wouldn't he just leave me alone?
Because he loves you, my subconscious said, I scoffed.

I opened the text, it simply read *I need to talk to you* I scoffed again, louder this time.

'Well, Mr Jacob kaur... You're the last person I want to talk to, or even think of right now', I said to myself and tossed the phone away, nearly hoping the screen cracked.

I wouldn't reply his stupid ass message.

~~~~~

I didn't know when I slept of but when I woke up, it was evening, few rays of sunlight infiltrated through the white curtains in my room... My room?

I just realized I was in a bed, I slept off in the couch in the living room after receiving that stupid text message from that stupid man.

I looked around the room, it wasn't even my bedroom... We'll it once was, in Jacobs apartment.

"Oh shit," I said out loud. I could feel the anger building in me, how dare he.

"You're finally awake" Jacob said. My eyes darted immediately to his direction, he was sitting at a far dark corner of the room, it had gotten dark really quick and I could barely make out his facial features, I didn't even care.

I got down from the bed and ran as quickly as I could to the door.

It was locked, of course.

"Let me out Jacob" I said as calmly as I could turning to face him, he had gotten up from where he was sitting and was making his way towards me, he had a smirk plastered on his gorgeous face.

My anger rose even more, I wanted to peel his face with a knife, or better still, with my fingers.

"I won't, you would not leave me, until you hear me out" he said stopping inches away from me. He wore a black shirt, underneath, his beautiful body was staring at me, calling me silently to touch it.

I would never do it again.

"No Jacob!, I would not listen to you, because I don't want to, I don't have to, just let me go" I said.

He chuckled "the answer to that would be a solid no" he took a seat by the side of the bed.

"If you don't let me go, Jacob I would hate you forever" I lied, I was horrible at lying.

"That's impossible, you know it is"

"No, I don't" I felt the tears. I hated crying. "why are you doing this to me?" I asked, my voice cracked.

He looked puzzled.

"I'm trying my best to forget you and move on, trying my best to save my self from further heartbreak, trying to forget all this"
I motioned between us "because it's my only shot at having a happy life, as happy as I can get at least" I sobbed, sliding to the floor.
"But you're struggling so hard, to stop that from happening, you don't want to see me happy do you?" I asked amid sobs.

Within seconds he was hugging me to his chest, I wanted to hug him back with every bone in my body, but I didn't.

"I'm so sorry Andy" he said kissing the hair at the top of my head. "You've got it all wrong, I want to see you happy, to see us happy, together" he pulled me back and his mesmerizing green eyes met mine.
" I want you to be happy with me, be with me Andrea... Be mine, and I'll make you the happiest woman on earth" he said, I could see the meaning behind his words.

"But that's not possible" I sobbed " you're getting married in a couple of months"

"No I am not, look at me" he said softly, and I did. "I will not get married to anyone that is not you"

My heart skipped two beats, did he mean what he just said?
I could tell he did.

" but how? What are you going to do? Your company..." I trailed off.

"My company doesn't matter, I never really cared about it anyway, that's my mothers problem"

"But..."

"Don't worry Andrea" he wiped my cheeks with his thumb. "Everything will be alright, as long as you're with me, as long as we're together"

"Jacob" I said "I feel like I'm ruining your life"

"No... What you're doing is the farthest thing from that" he smiled.
" now go get ready, we have a flight to catch" he said standing up, I was stunned.

"What? A flight?" I gasped out, looking up at him.

"Yes, we're going to England" he said, I laughed, I'd never been to anywhere outside America, except that one time my mom won a trip to Greece, I was too little to remember much of it.

"You're kidding!" I said, I couldn't hide my excitement. " I have to call Ivan" I said.

"Do whatever you want," he said unlocking the door with a smile. God he was beautiful!
