My
heart is thudding in my chest and my palms feel sweaty. I don’t think I’ve ever
been this nervous.
“Jacob.
What are you doing here?” Sam asks. I come to a stop in front of her and my
smile drops at the tone of her voice.
“I
just happened to be on my way to your house, when I spotted you sitting here.”
I notice Lily’s body visibly relax out of the corner of my eye. Poor thing
thought I would sell her out. No way in hell would I do that, not when I owe
her the world for telling me where to find Sam.
“Why
were you on your way to my house?” Sam cocks her head to the side in confusion.
“I
needed to talk to you after everything that’s happened. Can I just have a few
minutes?” I plead with her. I don’t care if it makes me look pathetic. It’s do
or die at this moment.
Sam
looks unsure and nervous for a few seconds. I release the breath I didn’t
realize I was holding when she nods her assent and hands the baby to Lily.
“I’ll
only be a minute, Lily. Can you just watch Tessa for me?”
“Take
your time.” Lily stands holding Tessa and murmurs low to the baby, walking over
to the swings.
I
sit next to Sam on the bench and angle my body towards her. I catch her scent
on a light breeze and it brings back so many memories.
Sam
stares at me silently, waiting for me to speak. She seems weary of my presence.
We never used to be this way around one another. I guess it’s all the cheap
shots and low blows we’ve dealt out over the last year, making her react to me
this way.
“Did
you hear about Brooke and Aiden?” I ask right off the bat. No sense in beating
around the bush. Besides, I don’t want to let on that Lily overheard them
fighting and spilled the beans to me about it.
“I
did,” she says quietly and gives me a sad half smile. “I’m really sorry about
what happened. Aiden told me the hell Brooke put you through. I can’t even
imagine what it must have been like for you to discover the depth of her
deception.”
Sam’s
hands start to fidget with the baby blanket resting partially on her leg. I
reach over and cover them with my own, squeezing them gently.
“Thank
you. But I should be apologizing to you for allowing her to come between us.”
She
glances down at our hands and looks up with tear filled eyes and shakes her
head. When she doesn’t say anything I decide to continue with my plan.
“I
still love you Sam.” At my words her eyes close, her face looks as if she’s in
tremendous pain. “Do you… do you think we could try? I’ve gone over it a
million times. If Brooke and Aiden hadn’t conspired to keep us apart, when you
left Aiden and came to me, we could have been together. We could still be
together.”
“I
-” she starts and then stops. She looks down again and stares at our hands
again for so long, I’m afraid she isn’t going to answer. Why isn’t she
answering? Please God, let her answer!
“Jake.
I’ll always love you.” Her words make my heart soar.
“Then
say you’ll be with me. Say you’ll let me love you forever. Say you’ll make me
whole again,” I beg her, while inching my way closer to her on the bench.
I
raise my arm and rest my hand on the side of her neck, tilting her head up
towards me. My thumb sweeps across her jaw while I search her eyes for consent.
When her face turns up slightly and her lips part just a touch, I decide to
take that as my green light. I lean forward and brush my lips gently against
hers. I instantly feel the sensation that I always feel when I’m with her. The
one that has my stomach dropping and my dick stirring.
Lost
in the moment, my lips find hers again. This time I put more pressure on her
mouth. My tongue slowly glides along her bottom lip, remembering the taste of
her. Her lips part and my tongue slides inside alongside hers. My other hand
leaves her hands and cradles the opposite side of her face, so that both my
hands are now holding on to her for dear life. I tilt her head and deepen the
kiss. My tongue explores every inch of her mouth, seeking, tasting, memorizing
the feel of it.
The
rest of the world melts away. It’s just her and me. The sounds of kids playing
and birds chirping fade. All I can hear is the light rasps of our breathing and
the small little moan that she’s making. Finding the willpower, I pull away
from her delicious mouth and rest my forehead against hers. My hands tense on
her face while I try to find my composure. That kiss has just turned me inside
out.
