He yelped in a pain when my elbow touched his wound. I tried to get up but he tightened his hold on my wrist making me stay there. I rolled my eyes at his antics."Jake, let me go. You are in pain." I said."I'm fine." He said with the pained expression.I hold my laugh and glared at him."No, you're not fine. Let me go,""You won't let me take a shower and I won't let you go," He said with the smirk."You're incorrigible," I said shaking my head.I tried to get up again but he put the arm around my waist locking me to his side. I looked at him with a frown and he wiggled his eyebrows at me challenging me to make him let go."I know how to make you let me go. Don't challenge me," I said running my hand on his rigid smooth chest and teasing his skin."It's not working, princess." He said with the smirk challenging me again.My eyes went his moist lips and my breath hitched. I looked into his eyes and saw the same fire in them that he showed me in the hospital when I kissed him.I wante
[A day later]I looked at my parents who were staring at with a smile."Be safe and call me when you and your friends arrive there." Mom said.I kissed my mom's cheeks and hug my dad."Did you check the gas in the car?" Eric asked."We will be going in Anna's car. But yes, I checked the gas," I said.My twin pulled me in a hug and kissed my head."I hope you wouldn't do anything stupid," He mumbled in my ear."You know me so well, dear twin," I said with the sarcastic smile."I'm serious Elena." He glared at me."I will not do anything stupid trust me," I said while trying not to look into his eyes.I didn't tell him that I will be leaving with Jake, not with Anna and Sharon.Only Anna knew about my plan and she wouldn't mind lying for my sake. She knew Jake and she trusts me. Sharon didn't know how to keep a secret so we didn't tell her anything."Goodbye," I said.I got in the car and drove to Anna's house. She was waiting for me outside her house."Hey, go and park the car in the g
Jake's POV:"I want to stay here with you. I knew you would like this place." I said."I want you to share everything with me. I want to know about your past. But it's difficult for me to see you hurt and angry,"She placed her hand on my jaw and looked into my eyes.I took the hold of her wrist and moved her hand to my lips. I kissed her fingers and she blushed. She had no idea how her words affect me and my heart."I don't want to hide anything from you that's why I brought you here," I said.She moved closer to me and pressed her forehead on mine. We closed our eyes standing there while wind caressed our faces."I'm hungry," She mumbled.I laughed at the timing of her words.She frowned at me then shot me a short glare. I sobered up."What would you like to eat Miss Edwards?""Anything would be fine," she said."There's a very famous restaurant here. But we will need to drive there." I said."Let's go. I'll drive," she said.She dragged me out picking the car keys on the way. I gui
Jake's POV:"I grew up in this house till I was seven. Amanda loved me and Mr. Carter cared for me. Veronica and Jacob would play with me." I said."It's hard to believe you are talking about the same people I know," She said sounding mad.I kissed her head. She sighed and snuggled closer to me. I reached for her silky soft hair and started to play with them."Mr. Carter set up his business in North of Boston. We all moved to your neighborhood. I met Brandon and he became my friend instantly. Veronica and Jacob got busy with their studies and made new friends. Amanda and Mr. Carter started to stay out late. They would leave me alone in the home without anything to eat. Days turned into months and I was losing weight and getting sick. Then Jenny came." I said.I recalled the day when she came into my life. She was as beautiful as an angel."Jenny?" Elena asked confused."She was hired to babysit me and do some chores around the house. She used to read me stories, play with me, help me
Elena's POV:My heart was completely shattered. I knew Jake Carter since I was four. I saw him smiling, I saw him crying, I saw him angry and I saw in love. But I didn't know why I never noticed his pain.When I said I wanted to know everything about him. I didn't know I was signing up for this emotional and heart-wrenching roller coaster.His life looked perfect like any other teenager of his age. Why did hide so much from us?"Jenny was my real mother, Elena. I felt some kind of connection with her. But I didn't understand what it meant until it was too late." He said looking sad."Where did she go?" I asked him hoping he would know."After the truth came out, I tried to look for her. I searched for her everywhere. But I failed to find her. I don't even know if she is alive or dead. It has been so many years." He said.I noticed how frustrated he looked. He wanted to find her."But she knew where you were. Why didn't she contact you?" I asked him.It was beyond my understanding how
Jake's POV"How do you know that you love me?" I asked."I know how it feels to see the person you are in love with sad and in pain. That's what I am trying to change. I want to make you happy." She placed her hand over mine and gripped it."How can you be so sure that it is love?" I asked her with the soft smile.I didn't want to make her cry. I knew how soft and fragile her heart was.She closed her eyes and pursed her lips."When we were kids, I always liked you." She said making smile."I know you liked me, after all, I was your partner in crime," I said recalling how many times I had bribed her to annoy Brandon."Not like that. I mean I used to imagine you as my prince. I had a crush on you. I even told Eric about my feelings. That's why he started to annoy you so you wouldn't come to our house more often," She said.I was really shocked. I never saw her like that in the past.She was just a cute little sister of my best friend for me."You left for college and I started high sch
Jake's POVI felt my stomach flip when he pressed himself on mine completely.Slowly, I looked at his sinfully handsome face.He sucked in a sharp breath."Don't look at me like this so early in the morning?" He said."How I am looking at you?" I asked him confused."Like you want to eat me," He said with the grin.I felt my cheeks getting hot."Let me go, I-I need to take a shower," I mumbled."You plan to take a shower without me?" He asked.I scowled at him and he grinned.Suddenly, he pulled me closer letting me know what I was doing to him. He leaned towards my ear with the smile."I'm going to wash you very gently if you allow me. I have never done that before," He whispered.I closed my eyes feeling the heat pooling inside me at his words."First, you've to promise me, you will keep your eyes close in the shower," I said.He frowned then smiled mischievously once again."Maybe the steam inside won't let me see anything," He said.The smirk on his face was making clear his inten
Elena's POV“Are you J-Jenny’s son?” She asked.Jake froze and my eyes widened in shock.The woman was staring at us and we were gawking at her in shock.I decided to speak because Jake looked terrified to speak.“How do you know Jenny?”The woman turned her attention to me and frowned.“She used to work here in my café when she was a young little girl.” She said.My hand was resting on the table and he slowly moved his hand and placed it over mine. I could see it on his face that he was scared to find out more about his mother.“How did you recognize him that he is her son? Did she talk to you about him?”I asked her hoping that she would tell something that will explain why Jake had to spend his childhood without his mother.“No, I just assumed that he is her son because he looks a lot like her.” The woman laughed lightly.Jake’s grip tightened on my hand. The hopefulness and sadness were clear on his face.“What do you know about her?” I asked with the smile.“She used to work in t
