Chapter 8: home alone!

Chapter 8

-Sam's place—

Jake slid off his mares back and helped Sam down, he smiled at her and kissed hher lightly on the lips and said "meet you inside," gesturing toward the makeshift paddock beside the 10 acre paddock as he added "I'll put Witch away."

Sam smiled and turned walking into the house.

-Jake's POINT OF VEIW—

Sam, my Sam, flounced away from me and into the house.

I was still in complete shock, Sam would soon be my wife! I was so excited I had wanted this for so long. Quickly remembering that my mare needed tending to I turned to her.

"Aren't I the luckiest person in the world, I have Sam." I told my mare.

I then put Witch into the paddock after a quick rub down. I turned and started off towards the house, while rubbing Witch down I had figured out no matter how much I wanted to spend the night with Sam I wanted us to save ourselves for the honeymoon.

-Normal POINT OF VEIW—

Little did Jake know, Sam was thinking about the same thing and came to the same conclusion as Jake, She just hoped he felt the same way.

When Jake walked in Sam was sitting at the table really wanting to get this 'talk' over and done with.

Jake looked at Sam determination shone in her eyes, "Sam, we need to talk." He said quietly "can I go first?"

"Sure."

"Um… Sam I don't know how you feel about this but I want to wait till the honeymoon before we… I mean I-I don't know how to say it." He looked slightly embarrassed and he rubbed the back of his neck.

Sam realised what he wanted to say and finished it off for him "I do understand and I feel the same way, but Jake you are staying here for a couple of days and you are my fiancée," Sam could see Jake getting confused and hurried up to finish., "so what I mean is that I want to sleep in the same bed as you just not… yeah you know I want to wait." Sam sighed after she finished hoping Jake had taken her words in the right way.

"Of course Sam, I do want that to," He smiled.

Sam jumped up and hugged him. "Jake you can borrow my truck to go back to your place to pick up some clothes for the next few days."

"Sure… Brat." He said quickly grabbing the keys and running outside towards Sams truck.

"I'll get you Jake Ely! Don't ever call me brat again!" Sam hollered running after him. Just as he reached the truck she reached him and turned him pinning him against the side of the truck.

"Mister Ely soon to be Mr Ely, don't ever call me Brat again or else."

Jake wasn't exactly fighting to stop her pinning him against the truck with her body it felt just right. He lifted his hands to rest on her waist. "Or else what… Sam?" he asked with his lazy tomcat expression.

"No more of these!" she said pecking him on the lips.

"I can live with that." He replied still with the same expression on his face.

"What!" Sam cried outraged! Wasn't it he who just asked her to marry him? She pulled away not sure what he meant.

Jake pulled Sam back to him and said, "I much prefer kisses that last a lot longer than 1 second." He exclaimed before pulling her closer and capturing her lips with his.

After a little while Sam pulled away and said, "you go get your clothes and I'll start dinner or do some chores or something."

Jake got into the truck and started the engine; Sam waved and walked towards the barn. When she got in there she realised her and Jake had been in such a rush they hadn't cleaned out the barn before they went over to the Ely's to share their good news. She quickly ran to the barn and noticing some candles were still going she went round blowing out the half burnt down candles, thinking how lucky they were nothing caught on fire. She put all the candles in a bucket and started to sweep up all the roses in the aisle of the barn.

-30 minutes later—

Sam admired her work she had done; the barn was back to its normal looking self. As she walked into the feed room ready to start to feed the horses she found a note stuck to the feed bin.

Sam,

The horses are fed all the chores are done just go inside, your gram insisted that you have the ingredients to make lasagne and for the other nights she froze some food for you and Jake, I know how much you used to love pizza so despite your gram's wishes there is some of that in the freezer too.

Luv mum, XOXO

Wow, Sam thought to herself, Bryanna signed mum! Hang on I wonder if I can still make Lasagne? Al well there is a recipe inside. Sam turned and raced toward the house with two things on her mind, a shower and to and that recipe.

After a nice hot, relaxing shower Sam walked out of the bathroom deciding she would be fine to just wear her towel around her body while she looked for the recipe.

After a few minutes Sam found the recipe and went to the kitchen to put it on the table while she went upstairs to get dressed as she walked into the kitchen she noticed the front door open, curiosity getting the better of her she quickened her pace and walked into the kitchen, there sitting on a chair at the table was Jake.

"Geez Jake, shut the door you had me half scared!" she said looking at him she forgot she was wearing a towel and went to put her hands on her hips she suddenly realised her towel had started to fall, just before it could fall far enough to show her chest she grabbed it and pulled it back up. Sam blushed and said, "After I put on some clothes guess what I am going to make?"

Jake sighed he couldn't help feeling that he wouldn't have minded if her towel had completely fallen, shaking himself from his thoughts he walked over to her and stood looking over her shoulder.

"My guess is on lasagne," he chuckled lightly in her ear, Sam felt shivers go down her back and sighed, why had she left when he made her feel like this?

Jake felt her shiver at his voice and felt good that he still had that effect on her even after being apart for so long.

"Ja-ake," Sam turned to face Jake using her best puppy dogface, "can you pretty please get the ingredients out of the fridge and cupboard for me, please?"

"Hmph fine." He grumbled she knew how to get him to do what she wanted and that was not good!

Sam left him to get the ingredients and went to change.
