I wake up to the sound of dishes clattering and falling on the floor. 

I sit up and laugh. What the hell is this boy doing now. 

"Shit." I hear him say and I laugh. "Oh shush it." He says as I walk into the living room. 
"What are you doing?" 

I take in the appearance of the kitchen. There are dishes everywhere, the counter and floor have flour all over them, there is flour on his face, and there wasn't any food. "What happened?" I ask laughing at him.

"Aye. Be nice. I was trying to make waffles." 

"It doesn't take all of this to make waffles." 
"Fine. You make waffles then." He fake pouts. 

I laugh. "Alright move out the kitchen." 

"No. I'll clean it up and then you can cook."

I hop onto the counter that doesn't have flour all over it and watch him clean his mess. 

After about a half hour he's done. 

"Okay Ms. I can cook, make some waffles." He says plopping down on the counter opposite of me. I laugh. 

I slide off the counter and start preparing the batter. 

My mom taught me to cook when I was young. Before the abuse started. I loved cooking and my parents used it against me. When I wasn't locked in the basement I was cooking and cleaning. 

The waffles turned out pretty good. 

"Okay. They were so good!" Gabriel says and I laugh.

"Thank you." I say. 
"I'll clean up you go get ready for work." 

"Okay thanks." 

I go take a shower and let the hot water relax me. 
Hot showers feel so much better than cold ones. 


When I get out of the shower I get dressed for work and throw my hair into a ponytail. I slip my phone into my back pocket and head out. "Bye Gabriel!" 

I hear a muffled goodbye as I close the door. I walk down the stairs and shake my head. 

"Good morning." I hear. I look up and see Jacob. "Hey." I say back. 

"How did you sleep?" He ask.

"Good and yourself?" 

"Good. Where ya heading?"

"Um. Work." I say as I approach my car. "Ahh sweet, I am too, wanna ride together?" He asks. 

"Sure." I say and smile.

He walks around to the other side and I get in the car. I start the car and cool air floods it. I shiver and turn on the heat. He reaches over and turns the radio on and I smile at the song playing. He starts singing along but he doesn't hit every note. I laugh as he sings, moving his hands for dramatic affects. 

We get to the hotel and he gets out. I turn the car off and grab my phone. When I turn to open the door, it's already open and Jacob is standing there holding it. He holds his hand out and I take it smiling. 

I yank my hand back almost instantly. His eyes widen and he looks away from me. 

"You shocked me." I say. He doesn't say anything. He closes the door behind me and starts towards the hotel. It takes me a few minutes to catch on, but once I do, I start walking. 

It's still silent. He hasn't even looked at me. He holds the hotel door open for me, careful not to touch me again. I walk inside and go to the schedule board. 

I only have 3 rooms today, all on the same floor. 

Jacob walks up to the main desk and whispers something to the lady that was sitting there. 

"Lets go." He says in a low tone. He grabs my arm and walks me out. The moment he grabs my arm I feel it again. The tingles. He's shocking me. I try to yank my arm away but he doesn't let me. He walks me out the building and to the passenger side. He shuts my door after I get in and goes over to the other side. 

He gets in and slams the door. He extends his hand and I drop the keys in his hand, not touching him. "Where are we going, I have work." I complain as we pull out of the parking lot.

"My house." He says. 

I shake my head. "Unbelievable. See I knew you were some kidnapping freak!" 

"WHAT! I am NOT kidnapping you! Now could you just shut up and let me drive!" 

I continue shaking my head at him. I've known him not even 3 days and he's already dragging me away from my life! I bounce my right leg up and down, my anxiety spiking. 

Oh my god. What if hes with them... what if they sent him.. what if he knows who I am? 

I look over at him, he has one hand on the wheel, his other is resting on the window frame, holding his left cheek, and he's watching the road. He looks normal. 

But don't they all?

I feel my heart racing. He looks over at me and places his hand on my thigh and the other hand on the steering wheel. My anxiety starts to die down. How the hell? 

I look up at him and he's staring at the road. He moves his hand up and down my thigh, the tingles shooting through me, making me relax more. I let out a sigh. "Better?" He asks and I nod. 

He takes his hand away and I miss his touch. My leg is no longer bouncing. 

He pulls up to a drive way and stops at the black gate. "Sergio. Open the damn gate." 
He says. "Yes sir." A voice says back. 

The gate opens and I stare at the trees we go past in awe. This is beautiful. We pull into a circle around driveway. 

"This is where you live?" I ask taking in  the big white house. "Me and some others." He says.

He leads me into the house and opens the door for me. 

A girl is standing right inside the door. "Anna. Go get my parents, please tell them I'm here." 
She slightly nods her head and disappears. 

Jacob takes me into a room that looks like an office. There is a long table with chairs all around it. He pulls out a chair and motions for me to sit down. I take a seat and he slides it up. 

Anna comes into the room followed by a lady and a man. 

"Son, what's going on?" The man asks. He sits down next to me and motions for them to sit down. They sit across from us and Anna leaves the room, shutting the door behind her. 

He grabs my hand under the table and lifts it above the table. I feel the tingles shoot through my body. 

They all three exchange looks, like it's a secret code, and then the lady gasps. 

"Are you sure?" She asks him and he nods. She smiles and claps her hands together. 

"Brooklyne, this is my mother and father, Annabelle and David."

I smile slightly at them. He lets go of my hand and I wish he hadn't. 

"So does she know." David asks. 

Jacob shakes his head.

"Do I know what?" I ask looking at Jacob. 

He hesitates. He doesn't say anything. 

"That you're his mate." His mom says. 

"His what?"
