Chapter 9: I love you too
Alli's POV:

Today was the begging of my Junior year and the way it started was wonderful; I was woken by Jacob, who had spent the night on the couch, and the delicious smell of his blueberry pancakes with my mom's homemade blueberry syrup. Jacob had taken me to school early so we could spend sometime together before I had to go to my classes.

After school Jacob was there to pick me up as well, I wasn't expecting to see him parked out in the bus loop standing at the bottom of the staircase for me. I ran down to him and hugged him tightly my legs wrapped around his waist. He laughed softly at me as I kissed him all over his face playfully, I unwrapped my legs from him and slid my arms off of his body and held his hand gently, I knew somewhere in the back of my mind, that it wasn't necessary for me to do so; to hold his hand like a little kid's, but it felt like I needed to.

As we started walking to the truck he picked me up and carried my bridal style, despite my best attempts at kicking and almost screaming my way out, he would not let be down until he set me on the seat. I continued on with my pouty face as I buckled myself up and he went over to his seat.

"Come on Alli-bear, you used to love that as a little kid." He said laughing before buckling himself in and turned on the radio as he backed out of his place. I started dancing in my spot like a spaz as Jacob stole a few glances before laughing, "For a classically trained ballerina, you really suck at dancing." He laughed at me and I hit him playfully.

"I'm not JUST a ballerina, I can do the Argentine Tango, speaking of which you need to learn too, but I can also Venetian Waltz, uhmm I dabble in contemporary, I can do Jazz, I just don't like too." I said trying to count the numbers of dances.

"You realize, the only dance I recognized in that sentence was Jazz right?" He said looking at me with a puzzled look on his face. I rolled my eyes and rested my hand on top of his hand.

"Whatever how was your day sweety?" I asked rubbing my thumb across his hand absentmindedly.

"Good." He blushed softly and grabbed at my finger tips and brought my hand up to his lips and kissed my hand softly as he continued to drive on. "And yours?" He asked with a big goofy smile on his face.

"Fine.. except. Ohh you don't want to hear about it." I said looking out the window playing with my cotton dress with my free hand.

"No I do. What was it?" He looked at me a bit concerned as we pulled into the driveway of his house.

"Its nothing... just." I sighed softly. "This guy, Michael, he won't quit hasselin' me. He's the captain of the football team so he thinks he can anyone he wants I guess he chose me this year." I said shyly playing with my hair. Jake started looking pissed.

"What has he said, and done to you?" He asked through his teeth. A low growl started building in his chest.

"Nothing, just like 'How you doin' sweet thing?' and stuff like that. Jake calm down!" I said holding onto his arm. "You're the only person I care for and want to spend time with hun." I tipped his jaw down and kissed him gently calming him down "I chose you babe. My heart belongs to you." I said softly before unbuckling myself as he did the same. We both got out of the truck, he opened the door like a gentleman and I said hello to his father who had a very similar smile to Jake's on his face. I sat down near the small table and got out my homework. After I finished the small amount of homework I had I got up and started making dinner.

We were having a pleasant dinner of garlic roasted chicken with rosemary potatoes with some broccoli when all of the sudden Jake burst out something that neither me or his father was expecting.

"Dad, Alli and I are dating." His dad practically choked on his broccoli, but after some coughing it was made clear he was fine.

"But Jacob, she's so young." He said resulting me to become extremely shy about this whole situation. I folded my hands into my lap looking down as Jake and his dad not-so-civilly worked out the conversation that I tuned out for the most part.

"GODDAMNIT, DAD," A heavy sigh from Jacob. "Just.. just look past her age okay? She is a mature young woman. She makes me feel like how mom used to make you feel." He sounded so desperate, sad also, he was on the brink of tears.

"I love you too Jake." I said softly whispering to myself with my right hand flat on my heart still looking down at the cold half-eaten chicken on my plate. The was a long pause of silence as the two men's attention shifted to me almost in shock. "A-and it not just stupid hope that it'll end in a fairy tale, because I know it's not always going to be easy, but I've loved you for four years now." I got up from the dinner table and started to walk out with Jake following me and the rest of the night was spent in silence as he drove me home.
