Chapter 3
Jacob-
I knew I shouldn't have stayed, it was too dangerous for her, but those milk chocolate eyes begged me to. And being weak as I am right now (and I mean from the bullets and alcohol) I couldn't resist.

I decided to stay for only two days to show her I would be fine, and then I promised myself that I would never see her again. It would be for the best. She did not belong in my world and I would do everything in my power to make sure she didn't get caught up in it. "So-"I started. The silence was too awkward and I needed relief. "Um…what school are you going to?" I finally asked as I sipped my water. "Julard" And the water flies out of my mouth. "What?" "Is there something wrong with that?" She asks defensively. "No, no, not at all! It's just not what I expected." "What did you expect?" "Personally? I don't know." I tell her and she laughs, "What do you do?" "Well I'm learning to become an actress along with singing. I want to be in some of the Broadway plays." She says excitedly. "That's great!" I tell her. "What about you? What would you like to do?" she asks catching me off guard. "I don't know." "Come on, there's got to be something you like to do." She exclaims. "Um…I really don't know." "What about sports?" "I like football…" "Well there you go!" She exclaims. "I don't think I can do that as a career though..." "True, too late in the season." She says, "What about cars?" "I know how to get them fixed and I know a lot of mechanics." "Do you like it?" "Yeah." "Well there you go! You could be a mechanic!" She states and I laugh. "Yeah I could." She smiles brightly and the day goes on with us having nice conversations. Until…

"Jacob I have to ask-What were you up to when you got shot?" I sigh, "I can't tell you the details but we were up a special order for my dad when another gang started shooting. I don't know how they knew about the box or if it was just a coincidence, but that's what happened. I hid and tried to reach the back door but they saw me and-" I stopped short from saying what happened next because she might feel guilty if I told her why they had tortured me. "They tortured me for information, I shot the leader in the stomach and ran, and you know the rest…" "Oh" "Nessie I don't want you in danger and if I'm here-""Don't even try that excuse Jacob. You are staying here until tomorrow and that is final." "But Nessie you don't understand-" "Jacob no." And her glare un-nerves me. "Fine, but then after that I'm leaving." "Fine."

"Hey Jake what do you want for supper?" Nessie asks. "What?" I ask confused. "What do you want for supper?" She repeats but that was not why I was confused. "No the name you called me." "What, Jake? I thought since you shortened my name I could shorten yours." " No one's called me Jake before." "Really?" She asks and I laugh, "Yeah really." "So answer the question." "Whatever you got honey." I tell her and she blushes. "Okay, what about pasta?" "Sounds good." "Jake can you grab the noodles out of the cabinet?" "Sure." I walk over pulling them down. As I turn around to hand them over I bump into her. She stumbles back and I grab her. And as she falls into my arms it feels as though electric sparks are flying over my skin at the touch. Then we look into each other's eyes and I know she felt it to. "Thanks" she breathes out and I notice how close we are and how warm and sweet it feels to have her near me. "Any time Nessie." I say and gently put her back on her feet. "Here's the noodles." I say quickly handing her the box. She nods her head and starts working the stove and I just stand there not knowing what to do with myself.

"Jacob you can go watch TV or something or sit down. I don't care but you don't have to stand there awkwardly." Nessie says with a laugh. "Ok I'll just go watch TV then." I tell her and shuffle over to it. After about five minutes of channel searching with no interest in anything I decide to go to the table and sit. "Nothing good on?" She asks. "Nothing with interest to me." I reply and she laughs getting back to the pasta. "So just out of curiosity, what kind of pasta is this?" I ask and she turns her head smiling. "The good kind." She says with a wink. "Really?" I say with a hint of sarcasm, "What other good things can you make up?" "Oh a girl doesn't spill all her secrets Jacob." "Then maybe I'll just have to pry them form you." "Not likely." "I don't know Nessie," I tell her walking behind her. "I can be very persuasive." She turns with a sweet smile on her face, standing on her tip toes she whispers in my ear, "Maybe you are." Her warm breath tickles my skin sending goose bumps all over it. "But I can be very -defiant." And she quickly turns back around to her cooking.

I'm speechless. How can this girl have that effect on me? I have never felt like this before, never felt this way towards anyone. I want to be better than myself for her. I want to be whatever she needs, whatever she wants. I would do anything for her. I want to be everything for her. But just as I realize this I remember that our lives would not allow it. I did not want her in my world. She was too pure and good, and I would not allow that to change. But that still didn't stop me from thinking about the life we could have. Maybe in another lifetime. "Jake-" She says as she turns around again, but when our eyes meet she stops. And it feels like it's only me and her in the world right now. Just us. There are no gangs, no problems, nothing but us. "Nessie" And I take her hands into mine and they fit perfectly. Our bodies subconsciously move forward. "Can I kiss you?" I ask, "Yes." And with that little statement I claim her mouth with mine. Her lips are soft and sweet, and she tastes of vanilla and all I can think about is how much it is affecting me. How this woman has my heart and I can't lose it. I won't lose it. Then she moans into my mouth as I take my tongue and sweep it over her lips and she grants me entrance. Our tongues battle for dominance and all I feel is the electric shock that runs through my veins. All I can feel is her.

Suddenly, "BEEP BEEP!" And we pull apart at the noise. "Oh the pasta!" She states and runs to check on it. "It's still intact and not burnt" She says and I smile and she smiles back. "Do you want to go ahead and eat it hot?" "I can think of something better I'd like to taste." "Oh? And what would that be?" She asks confused. I walk up to her, setting the plate on the counter. "You" I whisper as I kiss her once more.

So what do you think?! You know what to do! :)
