A Look into the Future: Jacob Black Ch 5
Annabelle had Mr. Dormsey's Coffee and breakfast ready and in place on time as she swung into the habit of it. She was already getting the notes and meetings planned and organized for the day. She was unusually smiley and upbeat. Shane seemed to notice
"Now missy you better tell me whats going on?"Shane said with stickys all over his fingers. He walked over to her desk with a pen in his mouth
Annabelle looked up form her leather notebook. "What makes you think theres something going on?" She came back from leaving Mr Dormseys morning notes in his office,
"You are way to chipper this morning- annnddd tapping your pen, you never do that, like there are birds in your head" Shane said sticking some of the stickys in his notebook, and scribblinb something down on another sticky and stapling a sheet to his day schedule. He stood their in front of her desk waiting
Annabelle scribbled a few of her sticky notes. "Just don't tell okay, I know you love gossip, Jacob and I kinda spent the weekend together." She smiled. "I slept in one of his tee shirts kinda weekend. And their was only minimal drama apparently Saturdays are reserved for Kai."
"Oh- that kind of secret. Its gonna kill me! but because he is my boss i wont tell a soul" He said wiggling back to his desk, to finish everything before Jake got here.
"She had the nerve to call me a homewrecker!" It still irked her. "And he bought me this gorgeous dress im supposed to wear it to the Gala."
"OOO, so he invited you? Wait! does Mr. Dorsey know? Oh man, Natalia is going to be pissed. And Kai i expect her to make a big deal, she is so not the kind to let it go" Shane shook his head and stomped his foot when he couldnt find the highlighter.
Just as he found it, Jake walked in with loads of papers. "Oh Sir let me get that for you" "Shane seriously, you think you can get all this- " He smirked, Shane opened the door for him really quickly. He dropped all the mail and papers onto his desk, "No on phone calls till i finish these" He told Shane. Shane closed the door and sat down. Just as h did so Dorsey came in with Natalia. Dorsey greeted her with a nod of his head, and Natalia made a snooty face. They walked into his office and closed the door with a slam, intentionally. "Mr. Black's desk, how may i help you" "Send him in here now" A gruff mr dorsey said and hung up. Shane was about to knock on his door just as he walked out, "I heard him" He accidentally said. Shane looked at him funny, how could he hear that? wierd. Jake walked in without knocking like usual and sat down at the table. "So i hear you took the secretary to dinner and her recital after party?" "Yes I did" "And why is that- she is a secretary- And Kai? She was very mad- she saw you two holding hands at your place?" "Yes she did, i didnt even know that she knew where i lived" "Whats going on here Jacob, son, are you making the right choice?" "Sir, just because im not with your daughter doesnt mean im not making the right choice, i know you want me to be with her, but i cant do that when i have found someone i really like. Kai was a thing, i have no feelings for her- honestly, she was a time pass, nothing more" dorsey was taken back by the comment, and Natalia stared at him wondering how he knew. "Im sorry natalia, but like i said, your my little sister, i cant see you as anything more" The issue was settled. Damien seemed to accept it. He relaxed back into his chair, "Join us for breakfast" Jacob sipped at Coffee, and sunk into the chair. "Hilton Carborator Inc. Has me doing shit ton of paper work-" He mentioned off handedly.
Annabelle and shane were eavesdropping of course. How could they not. "Cant you press that button to hear in?" Annabelle asked. She had heard everything for the most part she didn't like the demeaning way Mr. Dorsey said "the secretary." The secretary had a name. When all was said and done she looked up at Shane a bright smile spread across her lips. "Did you hear that! I was defended!" she tried imagining natalias face and wondered if she couldget used to those kinds of faces again. She had had them before with her past in Canada but now it was strange she would have alot of looks like that if she was to be on Jacob's arm
at 7:30 jake walked back out and gave Annabelle a quick wink and walked back to his office. He knew that she and Shane were evesdropping, usual Shane, its wierd to him how they get along, Shane never got along with any of Dorseys secretary's
Annabelle smiled at Jacob through his office doors every now again when his eyes met her own. She was just about done organizing a few files about filters or cylinders whatever it was that went into cars. "Where do you wanna go for lunch today?" She asked shane casually. "Do you have any white out?"
"Lunch- hmmm Sushi?" He said throwing the white out in a perfect arch over to her desk
"Eactly what i wanted." Lunch time rolled around. She wanted to ask Jacob if he wanted anything or if he wanted to come with them for that matter. She knew better though.
Jake stuck his head out of the door, or more like took up the entire door frame as he stood there, "What are you guys doing for lunch" He asked though he already knew.
"eating?" Annabelle said as she gathered a few of her things before they were to head out
Jake looked up from the papers mock surprised, "Eating! What- you guys cant be doing that in this office" He said in a serious tone.
Shane shook his head, their flirting was terrible.
Annabelle smiled. "Do you wanna come with us? Im sure Shane would enjor your company as much as me."
Jake wanted to go but was debating, "Nah, i was just curious" It might look bad to others, plus he had a lot of work to be done.
"Want me to bring you anything back?"
"How about some Vanilla Black Milk Tea, with Tapioca please, from the bubble tea cafe downstairs. That crap is addicting" He said returning to his office, but the door stayed open.
Annabelle walked out with Shane. "We should trade bodies for a day, you could judge if he's a good kisser." She nudged him jokingly
"Omg! thats a fantastic idea. Btw- IS he a good kisser? Is his body that perfect close up? What does his house look like" Shane had questions to fill her ear
Annabelle almost laughed. "Fantastic kisser, not to pushy with it, im probably a more agressive kisser than him.
Annabelle chomped away at the Sushi, she was starving and had no idea why. "Are you taking anyone to the Gala?"
"Really? MM so he is a soft kisser? Yum! You dont find that in a man. And no- no boyfriend, plus there is no plus one at the Gala, you are either invited or not, its exclusive." He said as he dipped a sushi piece in the soysuace using chopsticks
Annabelle looked up, "I really dont even understand why im going besides to wear that dress. Jacob will probabbly be busy most the night. and what is it? just a bunch of dollar bill signs walking around showing off?"
"Actually this is a huge night for CarCo. Rich Family's bid on Cars built by the company. Jacob did a lot of the ideas and a lot of the hands on labor with the laborers in the basement. Which is surprising for a Co- CEO, oh yea, Jake is going to be named Co-CEO at this dinner, he doesnt know it but Dorsey told me so i can improv if need be. I am SOOO happy for him. He totally diserves it." Shane was now picking away at the tempura
Annabelle smiled. She hated that she still really didnt know much about the company, but she assumed that would be a huge deal Jacob becoming a co CEO. "thats great! im sure he'll be really siked." She checked her clock and looked at the time, "is there anything we assistance have to do to? like be thier early? is moore of a just lay back relax kind of thing or are we still on duty?"
"No no my dear, you are funny! We are guests like everyone. But take my advice- Keep your eyes and ears WIDE open! Listen to all teh gossip, listen to every conversation. Mix and Mingle, Network! Make them fall in love with like Jacob has!" Whoa, did he say that last part out loud! She wasnt supposed to know yet, and she would be curious as to how he knew. eh-
Annabelle looked down. "I dont even know how i did that." She paused. "Shane can i ask you something? Am i to plain? I know im not all that great on the eyes, Jacob looks like he belongs on the cover of GQ magazine and should be dating a Victoria's Secret model.I kinda feel like im just out of place now more so than what i was."
"Oh dear. Just because you are not like EVERYONE else, doesnt mean you dont belong here. Honestly i think you should only care what Jake likes. He like his women wearing certain things at certain places, he does have high taste, but when youre alone with him just wear what you want to wear. But in the public eye, i suggest you take him up on his advice on attire. But really, dont you worry too much about that." Shane dabbed at his lip and was clearing out the table. "Lets go"
Annabelle stopped in th cafe to get what Jacob had asked for. Shane took his place in his desk and continued his work as he usually did. Annabelle walked in. "I have what you asked for Mr, Black." She smiled
"Set it on my desk there Annabelle" He said with his nose stuck in some data chart. He was sitting on the floor with his tie undone, his shirt untucked , hiss shoes off and his pants hiked up. "Can you tell Shane to turn the damn AC up he called after Annabelle as she left
Annabelle turned back "are you trying to strip naked for me in here?" she laughed and waled on. "Shane you heard him,"
Jake wanted to laugh at her comment but was annoyed that she would make a comment like that at work. He ignored it. it was 8pm. Jake was incredibly tired. His eyes hurt and his fingers had tons of red little scares from paper cuts. He was half naked and halfhazard looking. "Im so tired" he said walking out of his office "Im going home- wait why are the two of you here still any way?" Shane looked up, "Keeping miss lady here some company"
"I wasnt sure if you had brought my car back. And i didnt wanna disturb you again, you seemed kinda busy." She and shane had been discussing tha Gala and everything. she was a good listener and he had picked up on that.
"Yes its in the parking lot. Lets go" Dorsey had left already. Natalia had said a word to him all day she was mad at him. The entire building had cleared out at 7 like usual except the over achievers and headed off to his car after he gave french hug to Annabelle, "See you tomorrow baby girl!" He said over his shoulder. It was just Jake and "So- I actually carried your car into the parking lot" He smirked.
Annabelle smiled. "Is that so?" She looked up. "So aside from coming out defeated with a ton of papercuts was your days as dissapointing as it seemed to.
pandora_93ramirez: "And im sorry for my comment earlier, it was a lil innapropriate." She proceeded to her car. "Same time same place tomorrow, my love?"
"My love-? You stole my words"-Jake quickly pulled her back, "I think this is a little inappropriate" He said before giving her a firm kiss. His hand rested on the side of her neck and slid down her side to her hip and he pulled her a little closer. He needed a little pick me up. "Would your brother mind that much if you cam home with me tonight?" Jake asked voice all husky "You company would make my day a ton better"
Annabelle smiled. "I'll make a call." she said leaning uo kiss him once more. HIs hands fit perfectly against her skin. She kissed his neck and took a playfull bite.
Annabelle had walked a few feet a way and dialed up Declan. "Annabelle hey! i rented two movies, Blade, and Breakfast Club. We havent seen these in forever, do you want me to order pizza?" Annabelle frowned. "Oh...umm do you think maybe we could save that for tomorrow Jacob asked if i could go over to his place." She heard a pause. "Annabelle, i told you im not comfortable with you staying alone at his place... how about an established time? Will you be home bye 2am?" Annabelle looked back to Jacob, it was hard to say no to Jacob it was even harder for her to say no to her brother. "Yea i think that'll work. I'll call you before i come home." with that she clicked the phone to an end. She walked back over to Jacob. "Good news is i can come over and u get me for six hours." she smiled. "I said i would be home by two."
"Hmmm curfew- My plans werent meant for a curfew, but i think i can work with that" He smirked. Jake kissed her on her forehead- "I was thinking maybe we could just run back to my place, it would be faster and you wouldnt have to waste so much gas"
"Run?" She looked at him as if he was crazy. "Im in heels."
"No baby, me run, im going to phase and you will ride on my back- i run faster than any car, plane or vehicle. And you will get to experience something you have never in your entre life"
Annabelle looked up at him nervously. "Umm..." Last time he had phased he scared the hell out of her but she was prepared this time. "Why not." She smiled Bookmark "and what did you have in mind for tonight?"
"I was thinking a good old spa night"
he walked over to the forest that lined the parking lot. This was out of camera sight. He took his clothes off, and kept his boxers on. He folded it up and thre it into his breifcase. "Hold this for me will ya" He handed her the briefcase. He phased slowly so as not to scare her. he nudged his head for her to get on. He laid flat on the ground so it would be easier for her to climb. His mouth cant make human words, his jaw isnt shaped like that.
Annabelle stared in awe as he changed. it wasnt a frightening experience at all this time around she found him rather cute. like an overgrown puppy. She smiled at him and climbed on his back she leaned down and kissed one of his ears. "Not to fast." she said.
He wined hoping she would understand to hold on. Jake was off he started off slow and gained speed within 8minutes they were on his front lawn. Jake quickly went into his backyard and up the stairs. He allowed Annabelle to slide off. He phased back to human form, no pants. "Lets go inside, our spa ladies are waiting inside." He took the briefcase from her and took out his pants. He quickly put them on and followed her in. The living room was set up like a spa treatment area. The aroman of white lillies filled the house. Cherries sat in a bowl next to the mattress thing for them to eat. "After you my dear." "Hello, Annabelle and Mr. Black. We have your towels and robes in the next room all ready for you" The lady said getting everything ready Jake went to the other room and took his pants off again and wrapped the towel around his waist and put the robe on and he was walking out as Annabelle came in, he knew she wanted her own space to change
Being with Jacob was exhilarating he moved so fast she hardly had time to blink. it was a wonderful feeling to be with him and to feel the wind whip her hair around. When arriving she wondered why she had never thought to do such a thing at her own house. Annabelle had slipped into the robe laid out for her. She slipped into the robe that was laid out for her and walked out to see Jacob. How original he was she wondered if the two would ever do the same thing twice in a night. "And here i thought you'd have a cow for me staying late at the office to wait for you."
"Nope- i was hoping you would stay" He said grabbing her hand as she walked out. "I really needed some time to relax after today- and i wanted you with me" Jake hoped on his little mbed thing. He took his robe off and laid face down on the table. "There are shit tons of knots in my back Marybelle, make sure get them out" "Will do sir"
Annabelle was never good with people she merely smiled and took her place. "I'll have the same he's having." sheturned her attention to Jacob "Jacob about the Gala. Are you sure you want to go with me? Who would have been your escort otherwise?"
"Probably Natalia- But you are 't escorting me, or my you, you are going as Dorsey's assistant, we dont want to make it obvious we are together. people wil then say that we aernt working that the office is an excuse for us to be together and have fling, and i dont want that" Jake groaned in pleasure as she kneeded in his back with oil and pressure
Annabelle shook her head confused. "I dont understand..." She thought for a moment, she misinterpreted the way shane had explained it to her she sighed a bit annoyed but let relaxation overtake her
"Nevermind." She said. and turned to him. "Shhhh your the one who needed to relax so much. i just need to catch up on sleep, i sware i think the last Mr Dormsey secretary must have died from sleep deprevation
Jake chuckled and relaxed into it. he had fallen asleep and woke to a nice serene song, rocks on his back and a heavenly scent. He looked over to Annabelle who was passed out inthe bed. "Marybelle, take these off of me" Sh took them off and he stood up feeling much better. "Thank you my love. Ill take her out of here and you can clean up" it was around 12am, he didnt want to wake her up yet. He carried her to his bedroom and laid her down. He made sure to wrap the towel around her again. He laid down next to her in his boxers and put the covers on her. He laid his arm across her stomach and fell fast asleep When he woke next it was late. He looked at his watch, 1:30am. He quickly woke himself up and shook Annabelle lightly to wake her up, "Babe"
Annabelle moaned and rolled onto her side. "no." she hadnt slept well since the last time she stayed the night with Jacob
"Baby you got to wake up" She moaned again. Jae woke up put some cloths on and went downstairs to get her cloths. He knew he shouldnt do this, but he needed to get her dressed. "He took the towel off and put her her bra on clumsyly, try really hard not to waker her up again. He then put her shirt on and then her panties and skirt. He carried her in his arms, he put her shoes in her bag and carried her bag in the other arm. He didnt phase this time. He ran all the way back to the office on two legs. Placed her in her car and did 100mph all the way to her house. He parked her car in her space and carried her up to the door and knocked
Declan was awake reading a book the knock at the door, she was two minutes early. He opened the door to see Jacob and Annabelle's limp body in his arms she looked exhausted. "You killed her." He joked "Its partially my fault i kept her up late." He gestured for him to come inside. "Annabelle's room is over here." The two walked in. "Thier were few traces of finding out anything about Annabelle bsides the tond of picture frames she had all over,
Jake chuckled "yea, killed her with a spa treatment that knocked her out." Jake walked inside. Walked into Annabelles bare room and place her on her bed. "Do you want to change her, or would you like me to?" Jake asked bore he folded the covers on topp of her "She has been wearing those all day"
"I'll change her." Declan said looking through her dresser grabbing her usual pajama attire of a simple tank top when he had to dress her. He was used to it really before when things went bad she usually passed out from the blows to her face her father gave her. "Thanks for having her home on time."
"Yea uh, take care" Jake showed himself out. He thought it extremely wierd, kinda sick, that a grown older brother would change a younger sister, who was also an adult- that was way to creepy for him to think about. Jake wondered if there was something fishy going on between the two even if he did have a girlfriend Jake ran again on two legs back home. He undressed and fell into bed. exhausted from the day
Annabelle had spent her Sunday with her brother. Shopping, dining, the opera, and of course just being couch potatoes. She had spoken to Jacob over the phone a few times during the day. She liked having the space, she enjoyed his company more than anything else in the world but she loved the time she spent with her brother, It was Sunday night and the two laid in her bed a bowl of marshmallows and licorice strung out over the bed with watching their box set of Dawson's Creek. Annabelle clicked off the flat screen. "Okay Declan its almost midnight I have to be up in five hours and you in six. We should both go to bed." Declan chewed another piece of licorice. "Yes I suppose," he clicked off the lamp beside him. "Night," He turned over pushing her off the covers and getting under. Annabelle smiled, the two usually shared a bed something that always seemed to get on Saphire's nerves. She leaned over and kissed his cheek then turned off her lamp.
