" You can discuss it with me " said my uncle his eyes twinkling with a humorous gleam " Maybe I can help you out with -" I didn't quiet catch on his words because for reasons unknown as I stared past because past the stall that was selling some fresh dishes with tomatoes , I spotted the last person I thought I will ever expect to see at the Church - Jacob Knight .  Alright , fine technically speaking he was outside the church and that's where the entire fundraising rummage sale thing was going on and there weren't much people who were seriously considering about purchasing from us but I still certainly didn't expect Jacob him to be among those people . My words faltered and my forehead creased with a frown when I saw him leaning against his Lexus as his gaze locked with mine .   " I'm considering that your problems have lot to do with that guy ?" said my uncle as he followed my gaze and his

He shook his head and looked straight ahead " you don't know the real truth "  " then tell me " I said looking down at his leaned head . Jacob pushed off my shoulder then looked me right in the eye " I hated her " he confessed his voice harsh and cold " I hated her the moment Dante brought her back , I knew what happened to our family wasn't her fault but I still turned all my anger and hatred upon her when she was just a baby . I ignored her for a better part of her life and never actually made an effort to see what was happening to her "   " It wasn't your fault -"  " you are not understanding what I'm trying to tell you "  " then make me understand " cupping his face , I give him a hard look " you can trust me Jacob , I will never hurt you . You just told me that you want our relationship to work that you want to reconcile with me , then let me

Jacob smiled looking quite amused at Chris's indignation but when I tugged his wrist he graciously abandoned his pursuit of happiness upon the sacrificial ceremony of my brother's happiness and followed me out of the diner entrance to the parking lot .    " what are you gazing at so intently ?" I asked feeling his burning gaze at my back   " That little sway of your a*s " without so much as batting his eye , he answered my question " Its unintentionally proactive and I -"  " Don't be such a prude " blushing furiously I glanced around I would be real down on my luck if someone especially my co workers heard the star quarterback of the town telling me how 'proactive' my a*s was " And just for the record my a*s ain't swaying proactively QB , I'm walking - simply walking . Will you get your head out of the gutter , please ? "   " But

When we reached Potter's , I was really glad that I dressed up nicely for the date instead of going with Jacob's 'you look beautiful no matter what '. Nervous and a bit excited , I tugged at the hem of my dress as I walked beside Jacob who was carrying Annabeth in his arms . A ninny - no , a high maintenance,well poised and neatly coiffed hostess was walking in front of us , her back ram rod straight as she lead us to our table. I stole a few glimpses furtively as we walked past the occupied tables. Most of the tables and booths were full and as for the patrons they were dressed exquisitely ranging from business suits to cocktail gowns. Even the unoccupied tables were set with bone white china plates , tiny square vases , folded cloth napkins and spotlessly clean goblet maybe used for wine or water , whatever the patrons preferred .   On the right , there was a silver haired man was playing violin upon a raised white marble platform and beside

'Trust is an unexplainable part of any relationship ' when Jonathan and my mother separated their way this was exactly what my nanna told me , in her words when trust fades away from a relationship there is nothing left except an empty shell that traps two people together until they decide to even break that shell that was tying them together . I was a firm believer of this theory which was why I didn't want to doubt Jacob after what Chris just told me but still after much tossing and turning I was still widely awake , staring at RM poster on my ceiling point blank .  But for some reason even my charming RM couldn't get my mind off Jacob , after the 'very nice 'chat with my brother - I came to my room to watch Korean dramas on loop , stalked cough platonically surfed RM 's official page but nothing - my mind was still in a mess.  " god dammit !" cursing I sat up straight and glared at the wall opposite to my bed , I
