Chapter 11

A week went by but Seth had yet to say anything to anyone. Roxanne was curious as hell but knew it wouldn't be right to ask. She had a feeling this was more pack stuff than a personal thing. So, life went on as usual.

Jacob had taken her to meet Caroline , who was a very talented tailor. Her prices were nominal and she even offered to give discounts for bulk orders. All in all, the meeting had been successful.

"So, what's my commission?" Jake asked Roxanne once they had returned and settled onto her living room coach with snacks and t.v.

"Your commission? I didn't know you'd want any." Said Roxy

"Well, normally I wouldn't but you're special so..."

Roxanne snorted "You're going to charge me for being special?"

"What I mean is I'd love for us to go out again. Our last date was cut short and I wanna make up for it." said Jake

"You don't have to make up for anything. It was an emergency."

"Argh... why do you have to be so difficult?" Jake asked frowning

"Do you want me to be easy?" Roxanne says with raised brows

"NO! No...that's not what I meant. Look I'm just asking you to go on a date with me again."

"Aah! You're actually asking me this time? Not tricking or ordering?" Roxanne asks with a smirk. "How magnanimous of you!"

Jacob laughs at her sarcasm." And look where it's got me. The one time I ask you, you don't answer so maybe my previous methods were more useful."

Roxy rolled her eyes but answered" Fine"

"Cool!" Jacob claps his hands together. "So I'll pick you up tomorrow at five?"

"Actually maybe you could just tell me where to meet you cause I have a meeting with tomorrow so I can drive from there."

Jacob shrugs "Ok. Is it fine with you if we visit that restaurant again?"

"Yeah sure. Their food was good."

"And what about the company?" Jacob asks wriggling his eyebrows

"Hmm could be better." Roxy says thoughtfully.

"What did I do?" Jake asked crestfallen

"Oh I don't know...sometimes it's just difficult to believe that there's actually a guy behind the giant ego."

Jake snorted."When you have a hot bod, it happens!"

"You keep telling yourself that."

"What? You don't think I'm hot?" Jake asked invading her personal space and getting real close to her.

Roxanne felt her heartbeat increase. It happened every time he got close to her.

"Hey! No action in my house!" Emma said as she entered her home to find her sister getting hot and heavy on the couch with a guy no less...eww.

"Your house?" Roxanne asked feeling slightly hurt because this was their granny's house and she had given it to both of them.

"Yeah.. it's not like you help out with anything around the house so it's more mine than yours." Emma replied completely unaware that she was hurting her sister with her words.

Roxanne frowned but stayed quite.

Jake picked up on her mood and once again felt bitter towards her sister for hurting her.

"You know my house is your house, babe!" Jake said with a wink

Roxy stared at him but instead of a smartass comment she smiled a sweet grateful smile. She understood what he was doing and appreciated it.

"Well, be careful. I just might hold you to that."

"There are lots of others things for you to hold on to!" Jake flirted while bumping his hips with hers.

"If you keep throwing these cheesy lines at me, very soon I'll be waiting with a baseball bat." Roxy retorted while narrowing her eyes.

Jacob laughed but knew she was half serious.

"Hey guys! What's up?" said Leah as she made her way into the house.

"The toys room" Roxanne

"Toys room?" Leah asked confused while Emma and Jake looked just as confused.

"Yup! You guys have your toys room just above where Leah's standing."

Leah froze and looked up before chuckling while Emma blushed. Jake looked somewhere between intrigued and disgusted.

"Okay so, I'll be heading off now but don't forget about tomorrow." Jake said as he got up. He had a few work assignments to finish.

"Fine. I'll call to let you know when I get there." Roxy said as she got up as well to see him off.

"Sure. No problem." Jake said easily as they were standing outside her house.

It was still slightly awkward between them. They hadn't really given a name to their relationship but Jake knew he was in it for life and Roxanne was immensely attracted to him as well. But they still hadn't really progressed in their relationship.

"So..." they began then stopped and smiled a little coyly at each other.

"Listen. I may not express myself in the right way always but I do care for you. And I know you have your doubts, which is normal, but just know that I'm here to stay and I won't break my promises to you. I know this sounds cheesy and overused or something but...you know what I mean right? You get it?" Jake finished off looking sceptically at Roxanne who had been silent during his rant.

"Yeah, I know" she said quietly. For some strange reason she wanted to believe all of this. She wanted to believe they could have a future together. She was a little scared of the unknown but she knew in her heart that she wanted to give them a chance. She had already decided she would give him a chance.

"Good" was all Jake said before he kissed her forehead and went away with a smile on his face. He was looking forward to their date tomorrow.
