Chapter Twenty-Five

I walked back in the kitchen and sat next to Emma again. "Dad wants me to return back there for a week" I told them taking a bite of my food.

"Why?" my mom asked.

"He wants me to meet his girlfriend" I told her while chewing my food. My mother smiled. I knew that she was happy for my father. Even after their divorce they remained friends.

"Nya! What did I tell you about talking and eating at the same time?" my mom scolded making me stop chewing. I rolled my eyes and continued eating. "What are you going to do?" she asked.

"I don't know" I replied.

"Don't go" Emma told me with a frown.

"You should go" Tom interjected. "Your father misses you. Only one week he's asking" he told me. Tom was always the one to clear up my mind. I smiled and nodded.

"Well, I'll be gone for one week then" I told them.

"Jake isn't going to like it" Emma teased while chewing her food.

"What did mom say about talking and eating at the same time?" I scolded mimicking my mother's voice obtaining a glare from her.

After dinner, I walked into my room and let my body sank into the bed. How come I was that tired? I sat up and my eyes automatically moved to Jake's room. Emilie and another kid were jumping on Jake's bed. I laughed as they were jumping as if there was no tomorrow. I picked up my phone and dialed Jake's number. Two seconds later, he replied making me smile. "Yeah love" he replied.

"Do you know that there are two little monsters trashing your room?" I asked casually and then heard shuffling and running in the background. Just then, I saw Jake walking in the room and his eyes widened.

"Emilie!" Jake scolded as the two little girls looked at him amused. "Out now!" Jake said sounding exasperated. They ran out of the room and laughing at Jake's annoyed reaction. I was still holding the phone next to my ear. Jake rose his head and looked at me. He smiled and walked to his window. "You'll be going to the party Friday?" he asked as he leant against his window. I sat down and took my lyrics book.

"Yeah" I answered and tried thinking about a song to write. Currently, my mind was blocked. I couldn't write anything.

"Can I look?" Jake asked after a few minutes of complete silence.

"Nope" I answered popping the p. He playfully glared at me and I blew him a kiss. Suddenly, he started climbing on his window. "What are you doing?" I asked afraid that he'll fall.

"I need a real kiss" he simply told me now climbing on mine before jumping into my room. Without waiting a second, he pulled me to him and crashed his lips to mine. "How is it fucking possible that I've missed you that much?" he asked pulling away, his forehead resting against mine.

"You love me" I told him with a smirk as he smiled.

"Yeah, I do" he said kissing me again. I pulled away and sat on my bed and he did the same. He took my lyrics book and started reading. I wasn't afraid as I knew that he wouldn't judge my writing. His eyes widened. "You wrote these?" he asked.

"Yeah" I replied. "They're crap" I told him sincerely what I thought of the new songs I've been writing.

"No" he said still reading. "They're good. They're perfect" he told me making me smile. "Would you sing one for me?" he asked out of the blue.

"Do you realize that you just ditched your family?" I asked him as I chuckled.

"It was damn boring" he stated just as I noticed someone walking in his room. It was his mother.

"Jake!" I pushed him away from the window so that his mother won't see him. Mrs Night rose her head to look at me. I gave her a nervous smile.

"Can you tell Jake to return home? Come along" she told me trying to hide a smile. "And tell him there's a door!" she said teasingly. I let out a nervous smile. Just as she walked away, Jake pulled me on him making me fall on his lap.

"Looks like it's not going to be boring anymore" he said huskily in my ears making me shiver. "Let's go" he told me standing up.

"Wait!" I said pulling my hands from his. "I need to change! I'm not going to meet your relatives like that!" I pointed to my denim short and tank top.

"Why?" he asked moving closer to me. "I find it great. You look hot!" he told me pecking my lips.

"I don't need to look hot in front of your family" I stated. "I need to look decent" I told him pulling off my short hearing a groan behind me. "What?" I asked.

"You gave me a freaking boner!" he told me biting my earlobe. I rolled my eyes and put on my jeans. I turned to see Jake looking at me with lust and love in his eyes.

"I love you" I told him kissing his lips. He put his hands on my waist and let my finger tangle in his hair. He groaned on the kiss as I tried to pull away. "We need to go" I told him taking his hands in mine. We started walking to the door and find my parents in the living room.

"When did you come?" my mom asked looking at Jake totally confuse.

"I'm going at his place" I told my mom ignoring her question.

"Why?" Tom asked.

"Mrs Night invited me!" I told him as Jake told my parents to have a good night. We walked out of the house and I hesitated before walking in his house. "What would your cousins think of me?" I suddenly felt anxious. He took my hand in his and kissed my cheek.

"I don't care what they think but I'm hundred percent sure that they will love you because you're perfect!" he told me casually making my heart swell.

"You're so sweet!" I said pinching his cheek and his door flew open. A blond girl stood in front of us with amusement. I quickly pulled my hand as it was still on his cheek.

"Hey" she greeted with a smile and surprisingly pulled me in a hug. "I'm Britney" She said. "This Dork's cousin" she said as Jake glared at her.

"I'm Nya" I told her. I already like her. She seemed cool. Jake took my hand and pulled me in his house. We walked to his living room to see his relatives.

"Well, this is Nya, Jake's girlfriend" Mrs Night introduced myself. "Nya, This is my sister Clara and her husband John" she said pointing to a red head woman and a blond man. "Their children, Britney, Sarah and Dawson who's in Drake's room" Mrs Night continued. I greeted them and Jake took my hand in his and walked to Drake's room. He walked in and I was surprised to see a blond guy sitting on Drake's bed. I was expecting to see a kid but instead I found myself in front of a photocopy of Britney.

"Dawson, this is my girlfriend Nya, This is Dawson, Britney's twin" He said amused by my reaction.

Dawson's eyes widened as he stood up and shook my hand.

"How the hell do you do to catch so beautiful ladies?" he asked Jake eyeing me making me feel uncomfortable.

"Stop dude" Jake warned. "She's different" Jake simply said before kissing my forehead.

"Damn" Dawson said in amusement. "I never thought I'd seen Jake Night go soft or better... Whipped" He said before bursting out laughing. Drake walked in looking slightly annoyed at Dawson.

"He's not whipped. He's simply better than you" I stated getting irritated with him. Jake didn't say anything but simply glared at his cousin who was staring at me in wonder.

"When you're done with her, send her to me" Dawson said to irritate her more. Britney walked in the room glaring at her brother. Jake was going to Dawson but I stopped him and rubbed his arm in a soothing way and he soon relaxed.

"Would you stop being such a jerk?" Britney asked sounding really pissed. "I'm sorry about him" She apologized.

"No worry" I told her with a smile. "I'm used to assholes like him" I said casually as Dawson glared at me. I walked out of the room pulling Jake along with him.

"I thought he would change but he's still the same" Jake muttered and he looked damn pissed.

"Forget him" I told him kissing his hands but he didn't relax. I feel that this annoyance had a thing to do in their past. "Why are you so angry?" I asked as we walked in his room.

"Because" he said and he stopped. I turned to look at him and he looked hesitant.

"You don't trust me?" I asked and I could hear hurt in my voice.

"I do" he said quietly. "I just don't know how you'll react" he said as he sat on his bed.

"Spill it" I told him resting my head on his shoulder.

"Well, last year, I met that girl" he started making me tense. "I wasn't a player then" he said turning to look at me. "I felt in love with her and then she cheated on me with Dawson in my own house" he stated with clenched jaws. I didn't know what to say. I simply stayed silent trying to process this out. How can someone cheat on him? He was perfect and Dawson couldn't even reach his level. Why was Jake reacting like this? Was he still in love with his ex? Damn! My bead was aching with questions. "Please say something" he pleaded and kissed my frown away.

"Do you-" I started not knowing how to ask. "Why are you that angry? Are you still in love with her?" I asked slowly looking at the wall in front of me. He held my chin and turned my head so that he was looking at my eyes.

"No" he answered surprised by this question. "I'm simply afraid that it will repeat all over again" he mumbled. I slapped the side of his head.

"It's never going to happen!" I told him seriously. "I fucking love you!" I exclaimed, tired that he was still feeling insecure. "I would never hurt you! You need to start trusting me because it's getting annoying!" I told him standing up and starting to walk away. I knew that it was difficult for him to trust because of his ex but right now, he needed to change that because I loved him. I was soon pulled backward and pushed against the door.

"I'm sorry" he apologized. "I love you too. It's just that, all of this" he said motioning between us. "Is too perfect. I feel like I'm going to wake up from this dream" he told me resting his forehead against mine. "I love you too princess" He told me before crashing his lips against mine. "Promise me that you won't hurt me" he said. It was now that I've realized how vulnerable he felt about pouring his feeling out. That's he turned onto a player. To avoid getting hurt over again.

"I promise that I'll never even think of hurting you Jake" I told him. He leant forward and pushed his lips against mine. He was kissing me with so much love. I felt my knees turned weaker. As if knowing, he picked me up not breaking the kiss and put me on his bed. He hovered over me and it felt damn right to be with him. I belong to him now.
