A Woman Scorned
Leah's POV
"Momma wake up! Come on! We have a surprise for you!" I heard Will yell while Sarah slightly shook my sleeping form. Smiling lazily, I let my eyes flutter open to see both my babies still in their pajamas with flour all over their faces. They both grabbed a hand to help sit me upright. I smiled and kissed both their chubby tan cheeks, making them giggle.
"Momma stop it!" Will said as I tickled his sides. Sarah joined in, helping me by tickling his little feet. "Momma, Sawah pwease stop! It hurts to laugh!" He said still giggling.
"Alright…but you have to give me a kiss right here."I said pointing to my lips. "On the lips."
"OK! I'll do it." He said getting up on his knees and placing his face in front of mine. I laughed when he puckered his little lips together and leaned forward. I pressed my lips firmly against his and started kissing all over his beautiful face. He was his daddy's little clone.
Speaking of his Daddy.
The tension between Jacob and I was so thick. We barely spoke last night. Even though we had slept in the same bed, I had never felt so far away from him.
"Momma stop!" William laughed, snapping out of my thoughts, I looked at my two babies and listened intently to their message.
"We need to go downstairs so Daddy can give you his pwesent!" Sarah said, getting off the bed and pulling me with her. Once I was standing, she pulled me into me and Jacob's master bathroom with Will following close behind.
"Momma bwush your teeth." She demanded, crossing her little arms over her chest to watch me.
Shaking my head and grinning, I tied my hair up in a messy top knot so I could wash my face. While I was bent over the sink rinsing off my cleanser, I peeked in my mirror and saw William in my closet rummaging through my drawers, picking out an outfit for me.
"Oh lord." I muttered to myself. And I thought I was the mother.
After I finished brushing my teeth and moisturizing, William came stumbling back in the bathroom with what I guess where my outfit options.
"Here you go Momma. I founded you some cwothes." He was so cute. He could only reach my underwear drawers so most of what he had picked out were lingerie and negligees.
Taking his options and placing them on the counter, I bent down to his level.
"Baby thank you so much! These are all great options but these are Mommy's…"I hesitated a bit. "Special pajamas."
Looking at his older sister, he gave her a look. Sighing, Sarah moved to stand next to him in front of me. They gave me their pouty faces as if to say please.
They're getting good at this. Laughing, I rolled my eyes called the off.
"Alright, I'll let you choose something!"
Smiling victoriously, they both went over to the options and picked something. It was a nude silk romper.
Figuring it wasn't worth the fight, I put it on. And after pronouncing my waves a bit with a curling wand, applying some perfume and lipgloss.
I let Sarah and Will drag me downstairs into the kitchen.
Once we were in the kitchen I looked up and smiled at the little set up they had. Our formal dining room table was covered with yummy looking foods. Pancakes, waffles, French toast, donuts, bagels, scrambled eggs, bacon, and some type of cereal contraption of sorts that I'm guessing the kids made.
"Surprise Momma!" They yelled in unison. I smiled and leaned down to hug them both.
"Thank you guys so much! I love it so much!" I said smiling wide.
"You're welcome Momma! But we didn't do nothing. It was Daddy's idea to make you food!" Sarah said pointing behind me.
Slowly turning behind me, I saw Jacob standing behind me looking me up and down with his bottom lip between his teeth.
Blushing, I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at the ground in embarrassment. The romper left little to the imagination.
When I finally looked up I saw Jacob walk towards me timidly. I watched as he examined my features to see if I was still upset about last night.
Even though I was still angry and a bit confused, I smiled bashfully at him to give him the go ahead.
Smiling gladly, he enveloped me in a warm hug. Returning his embrace and melting into him, I felt his hands run down my back towards my behind. Stroking and gripping my flesh, I moaned quietly and buried my face into his bare chest. Taking in his masculine scent, I smiled to myself. I had missed this.
With Jake at work all the time and me taking care of the children, moments like this are pretty scarce nowadays.
Leaning down, Jake placed a few light pecks on my neck before whispering. "Good Morning beautiful. You look so fucking sexy in this." He said as he fingered the silk hem of my romper, getting dangerously close to my panties. I giggled and tried to extract myself from his hold. All this affection was clouding my judgment.
Looking up at him I said, "Jake baby, the kids are in the next room waiting for us to make our plates.."
Smiling cockily as if to say 'I got this', Jake called out "Hey kids can you make me and Mommy's plates for us?! We'll be in there in…" He said looking down at me while I giggled and placed a light kiss on his chest. "10 to possibly 15 minutes…" He said letting his hands run down to grip my behind deliciously. I moaned soft enough for his ears only.
"Ugh…I hate when they kiss." I heard Sarah say in a disgusted tone from the dining room causing me to laugh into Jacob's chest. I felt the vibrations in his chest as he chuckled at our children's disgust for our affection.
As soon as the door closed Jacob picked me up and placed me on our sparkling black granite counter top. Once seated, I noticed I was now face to face with Jacob. He smiled placing himself between my thigh with his arms on each side. My eyes rolled back as he pressed his bulge against me.
"Finally…I get you all to myself." He said leaning in to capture my lips in a fiery kiss. He was reaching for my panties again when I pulled away. We needed to slow this down. Sighing in frustration, Jacob leaned his forehead mine.
After a moment passed, I let out a breath to calm my nerves.
"I think we need to talk Jacob."
Another moment passed and he hadn't responded. He was avoiding me.
"Jacob?" I asked again. He finally pulled away.
"Yeah?" He replied, obviously uncomfortable. Readjusting himself in his grey sweatpants, he leaned back against the opposite counter to put some distance between us.
"It's nothing really… I just-" I stopped, running my hands through my wild and wavy brown hair. I put my head down so he wouldn't see the expressions I made while my mind pondered whether I should ask him about last night.
Sighing, Jake started. "Lee baby…you know you can tell me anything…what's going on? I know things have been a bit off…" He said in a concerned tone. Oh god, I can't.
"It's stupid. I don't even know why I'm bringing it up." I said laughing dryly. He looked at me with a face as if to say 'come on'. So I took a deep breath and said it.
"Last night when you got home late…You smelled like perfume. A woman's perfume." I said obviously startling him. He immediately grimaced. I watched as he ran his hand through his hair, letting out a deep breath.
It was silent for a moment and I watched as about a thousand expressions crossed his face. Finally he stood up straight and looked me in the eyes.
"What you are saying, Leah?" He asked in a hurt tone and an offended expression. I sighed.
"It's just that. Last night when you came in you smelled like perfume and I don't wear anything like that so it just thought…I don't know…made me feel as if you were maybe with another woman." I said quietly and unsure.
Once the words came from my mouth, Jacob scoffed in disgust.
"So because I come home smelling like perfume, I'm cheating on you?" He asked, getting a little riled up. I opened my mouth to answer but Jacob interrupted. "That's real logical thinking Leah." He laughed to himself, turning to walk away. "I'm not doing this with you today."
Sliding down the counter top to my feet, I stood in front of him chest to chest. I'd had enough of this. One moment he wants to finger fuck me on the counter, the next he wants nothing to do with me.
"Oh but it's not just perfume Jacob! You've been hours late coming home from work. When you get home you take a shower and go straight to sleep. You wake two hours earlier than you need to go to work..I barely get to see you!" I yelled trying to reason with him. He scoffed and rolled his eyes.
"You see this is the shit I don't understand with you. Why can't you seem to understand that I'm working?! I work so you can keep driving in that pretty little Benz and keep buying those expensive ass clothes. OK?! Don't even try it Leah." He said getting in my face. He was yelling at this point.
I tried to get a word in but he cut me off. "If I were to spend every waking moment with you Leah, we'd still be back in La Push in that small ass house with no money and no recognition! We wouldn't have shit!Is that what you want? Nothing?" He yelled louder. My eyes started welling up with tears. He didn't understand.
"Why can't you understand that we never had nothing!" I said with hot tears running down my cheeks.
"Jacob we had each other! And back then that's all that seemed to matter us. We had each other! I don't know if you know this Jake but I don't give a flying fuck about the material things." I said my voice cracking. He started to look apologetic but I kept going. "So don't stand there and make me seem like a gold-digging bitch! How dare you?! I've stood by you through it all. Jake you can take the roof from above my head, the clothes off my back, the money from my pockets and the food out of my mouth and I'll still come running to you Jacob! All I want is you!" I said crying into my hands. I was hysterical at this point. It was silent for a moment until I heard Jacob sigh and walk towards me for comfort.
"Baby look I d-" He said reaching for me. I slapped his hands away and pushed him away again.
"Don't touch me." I hissed at him, tears obstructing my vision. Jake ran his hands through his hair in frustration. He looked at me with a mixture of pain and confusion.
"Baby I don't want to fight. Jesus-can we just forget about this and go have breakfast with the kids." He asked. I wiped the tears from my eyes sloppily and nodded in agreement. I needed to calm down and put up a good front for my babies.
As I sat at the table with Jacob and the kids, I couldn't help but wonder:
What's happening to us?
