A Cake one shot because i love them so much.
-Will it bother you...if Tad and I were a real couple?
-With my brother? He paused an instant before continuing. I love my brother. I'll be happy for you.
-Ok,cool she says not really meaning it and trying her best to hide it.
-What i just said...it's a lie. In fact the thought of someone even touching you...
-Don't Jake. Please don't finish this sentence.
-Why not?
-Because if you do...if you do i'm not going to be able to trust myself around you anymore.
-You were the one who asked me Car...
-I know she interrupted him.I know and i'm sorry for letting us once again go there. God,she said angry at herself,why can't I just move on.
Jake turn to her not being able to answer her. Her eyes were closed and she seemed so confused,yet he never found her as beautiful as in this very moment. That's when the reality hits him. All those weeks he tried so hard to convince her that he had move on,that he never thought about her anymore. When it wasn't her that he has to convince it was Amanda or Tad. It's not that he didn't love Amanda it's just that he didn't love her as much as he loves Cara. "Love" present time he thought.
-I'm not being fair to you. Or to me. He said after a while.
-What do you mean?
-What i mean is that...I love you Cara.
-Jake please,there is no turning back if you continue.
-I know that Cara. Don't you think i want it to be simple he almost yelled causing her to jump a little.
I want to love my family more,I want to be in love with my current wife instead of being hang up to my former one.I want to feel my heart skip a beat when i see Amanda,i want to feel my stomach do flips when i touch HER,i want to have butterflies when i kiss HER!But i don't,Cara. And you know why?Because the only one who can make me feel those things are you.
By the end of Jake's confession Cara was trying so hard to fight her tears. All the words she has been dreaming to hear for god knows how many times were finally spoken. But were did they leave them now.
Jake looked away,he was so sure that he could bury those feelings but he couldn't. Not anymore. He was in love with Cara and now was the time to face it. Saying those words out loud made him feel relieved but he hated himself for what he was about to do to Amanda. She never did anything to him,but the truth was that he never loved her the way he loved Cara.
-So what now?I just pretend you never said anything to me. Because i have to tell you if that's what you are expecting for me i don't know if i can do it...
-Cara...
-Actually i know that i can't. I can't Jake...
-Cara...
-You can't say that you love me and just ask me to forget what i heard or what i felt at this can't mess you my fucking mind every time you want to,...
-Cara he yelled finally getting her attention.
-What? she yelled back but not saying anything else.
-I respect my wife enough to not cheat on her...again. At least physically. But as soon as the isolation is over i'm gonna tell Amanda everything...about us. And about me still being in love with you.
Cara's eyes softened as soon as she heard those words.
-You are?
He simply nodded and she immediately got out of the bed she was sitting on and step closer to him. She looked deep into his eyes and she knew he meant every word.A small smile came across her face and slowly she wrapped her arms around him. Letting go of all the anxiety they relaxed in each other arms just enjoying the contact.
-I love you.
-I love you too.
