BECCA POV
For some really weird reason, I add more blush on my cheek than I would have. My hair is bunched up in an almost tight knot. I'm wearing a black dress with a fur jacket. It's not a ball or a party but Bailey said to dress nice. She's been to their diner before, and I haven't.
Reluctantly, I pick one of my best set of pearl eatings to go with my dressing. I don't wear a necklace because I didn't bring any, but I wish I did.
There's a knock on my door so I skip to open it.
"You look good sunshine" Bailey praises with a smirk and I smile at her, locking up behind me. I'm enjoying this little vacation so far, except for the part where Jacob just keeps showing up and acting like a saint. I swear if I see him today again, I'll peel all my hairs off.
"Where's Kai and Colton?"
"Already at the diner"
"You guys left before me?" I gasp.
"Nope. Colton couldn't handle us being ladies and wasting so much time so he left with Kai" she snickered.
"Well his problem" I sigh and Bailey nudges my shoulder.
"I'm starved" She sighs, her hands rubbing her tummy.
"You would be. You're carrying little Colton in there" I huff, making us both chuckle. We take several steps to get to the diner, in which we make small talks.
"So what's up with you showing up with Jacob today at the airport?" She asked and I tell her everything right from when I saw him at the counter yesterday. She's Listening in awe, with opened mouth.
"Wow.. he's trying hard to get you back "
"No. I think he's trying to piss me off because we are never getting back together" I say and play the line of Taylor Swift's song where she sings we are never getting back together in my head.
Bailey snaps her hand in front of me
"You zoned out. We're here"We both walk into the diner and I quickly spot Kai tossing around the table napkins and Colton trying to keep her calm. I also notice a tall figure sitting at the table, a smile on his face as he watched Colton and Kai.
"What is Jacob doing here?" I quickly ask Bailey.
"I invited him"
Sparks go in my head. "What?!"
"Relax. It's not like he'd bite. I just wanna catch up"
"Yeah right." I huff and glare at the man again. He's in a blue shirt, not fully buttoned but tucked in, his hair is a bit messy, and damn he's hot. "You just had to invite him did ya?" I grumble to Bailey and she winked at me.
The men greet us by standing and Jacob even goes as far as pulling my chair out for me. I send him a small smile before sitting down and he sits too.
We order our food and I don't hold back on eating because I'm starved. Jacob is staring at me amused and I can see a devilish smirk on his lips.
"So Jacob what's up with you?" Bailey asks him. "I heard you opened your own tech company and you've produced a lot of games yeah?"
"Something like that" He replies to her, his fingers twirling around his fork and I find myself staring at them.
"That's cool," Bailey says and then stops Kai from eating broccoli "you're allergic," she tells her.
"Yeah... it's cool sitting around playing video games all day" I Sass and Jacob smile at me. Can he stop it already? It's getting creepy and maybe turning you on bitch. What? Hell no!
"No, I don't sit around playing games all day. Though that'd be fun. I also run other businesses" he counters me.
"Don't mind Becca, Jacob" Bailey says and I cringe the way she said both our names together in one sentence. I remember how we first met. We were both attracted by our names because of Rebecca and Jacob in the bible and how they fell in love at first sight. Now, it just seems so cheesy.
"Yeah, don't mind me," I say.
"I'll always mind you, Becca," Jacob says and I stare at him long enough that my eyes waver when he doesn't waver. His strong blue eyes searching mine.
"This is good food," I said with a loud sigh and Bailey agrees with a nod.
We banter about other stuff. Colton also talks about his big promotion and we all cheer with him.
Dinner is over so soon, the cold has turned up and I'm glad I wore a jacket out.
"You still didn't wear gloves" I hear Jacob say behind me, his hot breath fanning my neck, I move away from him.
"Winter gloves on a dinner gown? How fancy" I say rigidly.
"Forgive me, I forgot you're a designer" he teases and my eyes roll but I smile nonetheless.
We're silent for a while before he speaks up.
"I expected you to flip at dinner"
"I don't have that much energy to fight with you Jacob," I tell him.
"Does this mean we're friends?"
"No. It doesn't mean anything. I still want you to leave me alone. Probably never show up in my face again until I'm out of here" I spit in his face and he was just staring at me. Even I don't know why I flipped all of a sudden. Or maybe I was just so hurt it all came out.
"Becca..."
"Don't" I warn him. "What do you want Jacob? Leave me alone. Go away, you're good at that right? Now I'm giving you a green card"
He steps closer to me and I withdraw, my back hitting the rail on the balcony.
"That's the problem. I don't want to go away anymore"
"That's your problem. Not mine" I say and he keeps on talking.
"I thought I didn't need you anymore when I left. I thought I'd gotten over you, but I was wrong"
"Thanks. That makes me feel all better" I sarcastically huff.
"It wasn't supposed to make you feel better. Let's face it, the last weeks of our relationship weren't total bliss and I'd told you I was leaving for Australia so many times Becca. You just didn't take it seriously"
"Oh yeah. Pin it on me"
"Stop. You're not getting me"
"I don't want to get you at all," I said before stalking off. I hear him release a string of profanities from his mouth before a vase throws to the floor. He's so paying for that.
°°°
I release my hair from the bun it was in allowing it to cascade down my back to my waist because it was that long. Jacob had loved my long hair, he even loved it when it hung low, and always reprimanded me for tying it up. But he didn't say anything tonight. Maybe he just liked it down because he always pulled it when we had sex or something.
That made me feel all hot inside but I brush it off, going to bed in my warm jumpers. I pray I dream of rainbow candies and muffins with toppings but that wasn't it at all.
I went to bed thinking of a man with deep blue eyes, luscious pink lips, dark hair, and toned skin, and I dreamt of him.
°°°
I and Bailey signed up for a snowboarding lesson, but Colton wouldn't let her get on with anything dangerous, so he stayed with her while they watched from afar, with Kai by their side trying to build a snowman.
I may not even need the lessons because I've snowboarded a couple of times but it's been a while.
I pay so much attention to the instructor until he hands us our boards wishing us luck.
"You're not planning to go like that are you?"
"You again" I huff at Jacob.
"Where's your helmet and goggles?"
"I don't have one"
"Use mine" he hands me his but I don't collect it.
"I don't want yours. What would you use?"
"I'm pretty good at this stuff"
"You can never be too careful," I say to him and he smiles.
"Do you care about me, Rebecca Sanders?"
"What? No! I just don't want a death on my hand that's all"
He burst into a deep rumble of laughter and I smile, looking down. The sound was so pleasant.
"Come here" he beckons me to him and I walk to him. He helps me put the helmet on, and the googles before getting a spare from his bag. "I bought a spare"
"Have you been stalking me?"
"Probably" he grins and I shake my head with a smile.
"You're pathetic"
"I know. Take my hand"
I hold unto him and we both take that one leap before our boards are sliding down the hillside, then we let go. I'm yelping with joy and I raise my hand hooting. I hear Jacob laughing. I double-cross him, going in front of him and he does the same to me.
"This is fun!" I scream at the top of my voice.
"Be quiet or you'll get snow in your mouth" Jacob warns me with a chuckle before fake choking.
"Look who's got snow first" I tease him and he laughs.
We slowly come down the hill and my board slows down so much, it has me flying off and landing on the snow. Jacob slides to me, kneeling in front of me, his hands cupping my cheek
"You ok, Becca?"
"Yes," I chuckle. "But my butt hurts" I grumble and he smiles.
I hold unto him for support as I stand up to my feet. I don't let go and we're both laughing, I can't remember when last I had this amount of fun with a guy. I stop laughing when I notice he's been staring at me intensely.
"Becca..." He hums and I hold onto his jacket, pulling him to kiss me and silencing whatever thing he had to say.
Becca POVMy hands twitch and I pull away from Jacob, staring up at him, his eyes are glued to my lips as he watches me pant from the intense kiss we just shared. What is wrong with me? He's just using me and then he'd leave just like before.I walk away from him in silence, going to pick up my board that crashed against a tree while I was trying to come to a halt. Jacob is watching me steadfastly as I walk around aimlessly."What are you doing?" He finally asked."Trying to get back up the hill""You can just keep going down, and we can take a cable from there back up," he tells me and I bite my lip in embarrassment at how I didn't think of that. So I brush past him, walking down the hill."Rebecca!""What is it, Jacob?" I question, my eyes full of regret and anger."Don't act like that didn't
Jacob POVBecca is crashed out on her couch, her hand's folded beside her head, knees bent, and her lips pouty so that she looks too adorable that I take. I can't help but stare and grade my knuckles over her face. Since I knew Becca, she was always one with cold feet. And not the literary one. Cold weather disturbed her a lot.When we were together, she'd always talked about going to live in Florida, open up her restaurant, or a sea bistro. She'd sell the best meals, a lot of crabs, and even one a tuna grill. She was always a sucker for tuna. We discussed it. How we'd finish school in NY, go to Florida together and start a life there. Also, she didn't need to bother about the cold.Back then, I'd also done personal researches. I was like a lovesick teenage boy that found a germ and wanted to treasure it forever. Becca was my everythin
Jacob POVI'm distracted from staring at Becca when my phone vibrates in my pants. Letting out a grunt, I reach out to get the gadget. Seating by the fireplace has also helped me loosen up a bit because I was having a little bit of trouble with the cold too.Claudia's name flashes on my screen when I successfully retrieve it. I don't get why she's calling me so often for the last two days. Yes, I told her I was at my dad's but it's like she doesn't believe me. I want to tell her where I am, but if I do, there's no doubt she'd come here and that's not a scene I want to create right now. Especially when I'm trying to get Becca back.I walk to the balcony, so I don't wake Becca up."Yes?" I say into the speaker."Jacob!" Her squeaky voice has me pulling the phone away from my ear for a couple of seconds before returning it. "I miss you. Can I
Becca POV You'd think after the intense kiss Jacob and I shared, that he'd grab my hair, wrap my legs around his waist and carry me to bed, just so we could have sex, but he pulled away from me, a bright smile on his face while his hands stroke my jaw softly, lovingly. "You're as beautiful as I remember" he then says and chuckled. Of all the things to say. Jacob. We're interrupted by a knock on my door and then I see a worried Bailey walk into the sitting room. Her head moves from me to Jacob who had my hand in his. "Becca! Are you ok?" She takes the other side of the chair, touching my palm. "Gee, I'm fine. How was your play in the snow?" I ask in the least accusing voice I could muster but I gave myself away. "Come on now...Kai was being too attentive and I didn't want to leave her alone. Also, I knew you were in...good hands"
JACOB POV It's like a fucking blizzard by the time I get to the mountain. The peak where Becca and I stood yesterday. There was no trace of her or anything in sight at all. My hands fly to my mouth, breathing into my hand. Shit! I ran out of there without thinking, now I don't have on any gloves or scarf. I do a little sprint to a little cottage that I see abandoned by the top of the mountain and I'm glad when I see an old couple in it, seated close together, their hands entwined as they watched a series on a flat-screen.It's not exactly a safe and warm place to be relaxing but it's better than being out in the storm, because there is fire and two mugs that had steam filing out of them, sitting on the coffee table.The lady smiled at me. "Come sit. You must be cold"I shake my head. "I'm looking for someone. A young lady" I go to descr
BECCA POVThe only thing I could remember last night was Jacob, coming to rescue me from the dreaded snow, carrying me to a cabin, and taking my clothes off, after which he wrapped me in a blanket like a breakfast burrito. Now, my head feels a bit heavy, my body is still a bit shaken from the cold and my hair still hasn't lost its dampness. I look through the window, to see there's still a blizzard outside, thankfully, the glass is tightly shut. And I hope we're safe here.I've heard of Blizzard destroying huts and little things in its way. Yet, I feel safer than ever because I'm with Jacob and I know he'd never let anything hurt me.I hear a crackling sound from the other end of the room and I try to lift my head when I notice that I'm still naked. Where's Jacob? Where are my clothes? My brain does a rerun to see if I forgot anything from
BECCA POVJacob's gaze darkens with longing even though they don't leave mine."I need to know you're okay," he said with his brows etched. It's sweet of him to care about my health and all but I need him and I don't like this considerate Jacob. He never questioned sex before."Does it matter? I need you" I reply with quickness. He shakes his head after giving himself few seconds to sink that in."Not it doesn't, I guess".Despite my desperate plea for closeness, when he does move my breath catches in my throat. My back flattening against the bed. Goosebumps cover my skin immediately when it comes in contact with the cold abandoned pillow.A dominant and needy Jacob is the one I know, this new behavior, I'm still trying to get used to it. He moves closer to me, his face stopping inches from mine, looking down at me
BECCA POVJacob takes slow steps toward me, I'm moving my hips slowly to the music, tempting him the more and he had a smirk on his face. Of course he's enjoying this little show I've put up for him. I place my hand behind me on the couch when he kneels in front of me, I'm still moving my hips."This song..." He breathes into my hair and I smile. This song was a secret to a lot of our multiple hardcore sex, it became our favorite song. It was both slow, sensual and daring. The guy's voice in the song usually gave me goosebumps but it increased when Jacob kissed me or touched me."Yes" I hum..."this song" I smile and then sing along with the man "....If you like your coffee hot, let me be your coffee pot. You call the shots babe, I just wanna be yours..." I grin and Jacob chuckles, lowering his head before he raises it again, holding my face to his."You use
