I'm Yours (Bold As Love 2)

Slowly the sun begins to rise up over the mountains. It was beautiful. I closed my eyes and memorized this moment. The feel of Jake’s hands over mine and his body behind me with his chin resting on my shoulder. I open my eyes and memorized the beauty before me. “I know you said we would talk about it once we were home, but I just want to say something,” I start.

“No matter which path we take concerning the future, I want to try. I think we are worth trying to make it work. Tough times will happen and when they do, I’m going to remember this moment…the whole weekend actually. It shows how much we love each other. We are worth fighting for.”

Jake’s warm lips kiss my neck. “I love you, Sweetness. I agree wholeheartedly.”

I smiled. “I love you too.” Once the sun was up, we stayed a few more minutes to soak in the view. “Oh! I should probably see if my dad has called. He didn’t call yesterday, I think. I haven’t checked,” I said. Jake released me and walked with me to our room.

I picked up my phone from the nightstand on my side of the bed and checked it. One miss call from my dad this morning. I sat on the bed and unplugged my phone from the charger to return his call. After three rings, he answers with, “Hey honey. I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to call and check up on you yesterday.”

Not like I would have paid attention enough to answer. “It’s okay,” I reassure.

“How has your weekend been?”

“Awesome. I’ve been hanging out with Jake.”

“Figures,” he grumbles. I can’t help but smile. “Anyway, I’m glad you have been having a good time. I should be home by two.”

“Okay. I’ll see you then Daddy. Love you.”

“I love you too, hon.”

I hung up and fell back onto the bed, where I ended up landing my head on Jake’s stomach. Jake starts playing with my hair as he says, “What’s up?”

“He’ll be home at two.”

“We’ll have time to go into town for a bit and still make it back by then, though it will be a close one. Do you still want to?”

I turned my head to look at him. “Do you,” I ask.

“If you do,” he replies.

“That’s not what I asked Jake.”

He smirks. “You know, you look pretty damn hot in my shirt.”

I laughed and moved to lay beside him. “So that’s what you want to do today?”

“I have already seen the town, but if you want to go, I will take you. I don’t mind. It’s just it could be a while before I get my hands on this body,” he says placing a hand on my hip since he turned towards me on his side.

“Hmm.” I ponder. “How about some time this summer we come back and see the town?” He doesn’t even answer me. Instead, he rolls on top of me and starts planting kisses all over my face causing me to laugh.

Around ten, we have accomplished washing the sheets and towels, cleaning the downstairs, showering, packing our clothes, and eating breakfast. The house was all cleaned up. Now it was time to go. Jake carried our bags outside and I looked around one last time, hoping this wouldn’t be the last time I was here. “Ready,” Jake asks from behind me.

I turn to face him. “Yes. Jake, this has to be one of the best weekends I’ve ever had. Thank you.” I step on my tip toes and give him a quick kiss.

“You’re welcome, Sweetness. Let’s get you home.”

Jake shut and locked the door. We got in his car and then we were gone.

Jake

I agree with Emily. This had to be one of the best weekends ever. Sure, we had some things to discuss about our future, but it was looking bright nonetheless. We arrived at Emily’s ten minutes before Mike and we were able to put away her things. I was pulling out just as he arrived. I figured he would want to spend time with his daughter alone.

I drove home and walked into the house with a happy smile. Drake ran up to me and jumped into my arms. “Jake! You’re back! Guess what me and Dad did?” There’s my always excited little brother.

“What?”

“We went to watch a college baseball game in Wilmington. Dad also bought me some new games! Today, we went to an early movie and to Cold Stone Creamery!”
