Jacob

Can this day get any worse?

Shit!

I always liked surprises as a child… even now, but this? This I didn’t like. It wasn’t how I’d planned to start my day. Thought I still had one more day to prepare.

But…

Uncle Jack was here. He said the weekend, but it’s only Thursday and he was here.

Damn it. I grabbed my shirt, pulled it over my head, and ran downstairs.

Why did he come earlier than he’d planned? Did Kenny say something to him? About me. About Daniel. About us.

Shit! How do I face him if he already knows everything? All the dirty little secrets I’ve been trying so hard to hide.

Uncle jack left early the next morning. The visit was just a normal one. No drama or scolding, which meant kept his mouth shut.

The basketball court was too bright. I was supposed to be practicing, but all I could hear was Kenny’s voice in my head. “We’ll find out soon enough.”

The fact that he decided to to not tell uncle jack, didn’t mean he’d let it go.

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 30

    DanielWalking back to the room, with Reggie striding right behind me, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I’d seen at Mr Richard’s office.Jacob was pinned against the wall, his eyes closed, and Mr Richard… kissing him. He didn’t seem to be fighting against it… or trying to push him off him. He just stood there, eyes closed…hands raised slightly about his shoulders. And Mr Richard? Who the fuck did he think he was to do that… to kiss Jacob.He wasn’t his to play with… or whatever it was he was doing.Jacob was mine. Even without the contract… he belonged to me.And if Mr. Richard thought he would just take him from me… then he had another thing coming.The walk back to the dorm was quick, but each step I took sent shivers of pain down my spine. Wanted to run back, and punch Mr Richard in the face… hard! And drag Jacob out of the office, but there was no point doing that.He seemed to like what was being done to him… to like Mr Richard. Reggie stayed with me for a little while,

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 29

    Jacob The door slammed shut behind us, with a crack that echoed through the empty hallway. My chest tightened like I was having an asthma attack, but my feet couldn’t move… couldn’t run after him, and my hands didn’t stop trembling.There was a confusing smug on Mr Richard’s face. Like was happy about everything that had just happened.My hand balled into fists at my side, as I stared at him.The awful moment when the door opened… and then was shut, replayed in my head.Pressed my palms on my face, wishing it had all been a nightmare. Daniel’s cologne still filled the office. Then I heard Reggie’s voice echo in the hallway. “What the hell happened man?”Footsteps approached Mr Richard’s office, and then they were gone. Slumped in the chair weakly. That stupid smug still playing on Mr Richard’s face, but my mind hardly registered it. This whole thing had been a misunderstanding, but the look on Daniel’s face before he shut the door… he wouldn’t believe that so easily.Finally ma

    Daniel Still couldn’t believe Jacob would sign the agreement. He’d fought against it the very first time I talked about it, and soon after. Days after that too, and just when I’d put it at the back of my mind, he just walked in with it. I’d been shocked and didn’t know what to say or how to react. It did make me happy, real happy, but he sure had taken his damn time and now, it felt different. Not just the agreement, that was just a piece of paper, but everything else. The way I saw him, how he made me feel. The feelings grew stronger in the pit of my stomach. I hated it… or did I? Always thought Jacob finally signing the damn piece of paper would change things for us… give me the control I so badly wanted, but it did the exact opposite.Not only did I not understand my feelings anymore… I’d lost all control over them. And when he stared at me in class, my whole heart made weird noises… noises I didn’t understand… I couldn’t.Just what was he doing to me? Thank God Ares sho

    JacobDaniel just stood in the middle of the room, his eyes wide and unreadable. The night light caught the gold flecks in them.He looked beautiful… breathtaking.Wanted to say something to ease up the silence but my throat felt too tight, like it would tear apart if I tried to speak. We just stood in silence, then he walked to the table to drop the envelope.“That’s the ag…”“I know what that is, Jake.” He snapped, and I think he immediately regretted it.How could he be so mad when he hadn’t even opened it yet?Did he think I didn’t sign it?There were so many questions in my head, as to why he was acting the way he did. Wanted to reach for him, to kiss him and tell him… that I’ve signed the agreement.That I would be his dirty little secret for however long he wanted, but I never got that chance, because he knew… he knew I signed it.Maybe he wasn’t expecting me to… but I genuinely thought that was what he wanted. “Aren’t you gonna regret it, Jake?” His voice was low, and his

    Daniel The class took longer than usual, or maybe it was just me. Didn’t hear one thing the teacher said. All I could think about was Jacob, and why he was being cold today. It was one thing for him to not have called or texted after the events the previous day, but ignored me in class, like I was some pathetic stalker. The class finally ended, but there was no way I could talk to him, not with everyone there like that, and I couldn’t afford to miss any other classes. So I’d have to be like this until after the third period. Not knowing, if something else had happened… or if I’d done something wrong was killing me. Kept glancing, but he wouldn’t even spare me a second glance. It was like I no longer existed to him. Reggie kept blabbing about some stupid party. It was beginning to get really annoying, the party. Had heard few people talk about it, and yet it seemed like it would never happen. If only I could go over to him, to ask him what I’d done this time. There were many

    DanielThe first morning light crept in through the window, almost blinding me. The events the previous day had left my mind wandering from place to place. Tried to push the thoughts aside but it was stuck like a fucking glue in my head. And there were also some parts I would rather they stayed. Blinked against it the morning light, my body heavy with exhaustion, my eyes trying to close back, but I forced myself to stay awake. It was morning and time to get ready for school. Everything that happened the previous day replaying in my mind. The talk with Sarah, The event in my room… Jacob’s lips on mine, the warmth of his body on mine, the way his hands gripped the back of my neck… Then the meeting in the clearing. The texts and photos we’d both gotten before the meeting… and the sender not showing up. Jacob hiding it all from me… but I couldn’t even be mad, because I did the same thing. But it was because I wanted to protect him. My legs were tangled in the sheets, as I rolled

    DanielJacob’s hands were visibly shaking when I walked into the classroom. He didn’t look up, instead his eyes were fixed on his phone. Moved towards his direction, coughing slightly as I walked past his desk, but he didn’t still look up. Good thing everyone was trying to settle, no one noticed or turned to look at me.Made it to the school theatre after first period. Needed some break… some time to catch my breath.One minute, we were at the back of the building, with Sarah. The next, he was ignoring me.The door creaked open just minutes later. It was Jacob.This was the last place I’d expected him to come.He walked towards me and just stood there, as he got in front of me. We just stare at each other, unspoken words hanging heavily between us. Then he just slumped weakly on the chair beside me, and I pulled him into my arms.He leaned into my arms like I was the very thing keeping him from wallowing in his pain. “This is… hard.” He whispered into my neck. “It’s just… too ha

  • Jacob Hale: Enemy’s Secret Toy   Chapter 23

    Jacob Daniel’s plan was barely a plan. “I’ll talk to her.”That was it. He’d talk to her and then magically, she’d decide to keep her mouth shut. “How sure are you that’s even gonna work, Daniel?”I wasn’t expecting an answer, because from the look of things, it seemed we both knew.Sarah didn’t look like someone you could convince with just a few words. His voice was tight, not convincing at all. “She’s my sister and she’d understand. I’ll make her.” He’d said over the phone. Stared out my window, gripping the curtains until my nails dug a hike through them. The dark circles under my eyes was getting really bad… it had been hard to sleep. I just paced around my room all night, waiting for the worst to come. A knock on the door jolted me away from the window. “Pick your damn phone. Can’t have dad calling to ask about you all the time.” Kenny sounded really angry. “Thank you, K,” I yelled back, forcing my voice to be steady. My phone lights up with a notification. A text from
