My eyes slowly opened, still heavy for sleep. I looked around to see that I was in my room.
How did I get here?
I rolled over to look at the other side and froze.
Jake was sleeping right next to me.
He must have brought me here. But did he do anything?
I looked under the blankets and saw that my clothes were still on.
Good.
Jake moaned as if he were waking up and I stopped.
Please don't wake up. Please don't wake up!
Slowly and quietly I tried getting out of bed. As I was about to get up something pulled me down and I was back on the bed.
I looked up and Jake was smirking at me.
"Where do you think you're going?" He asked holding down my arms so that I couldn't escape.
I didn't answer. I just looked at him and noticed how cute he actually was.
Wait, what was I thinking?!
Jake laughed and leaned in. He was right by my ear.
"You know, you're really cute when you're asleep. So when I found you on that hill I couldn't leave you there. But when I brought you back, I couldn't leave you," he whispered in a deep tone.
I started blushing. At that moment I wanted more. More of that voice, more of him. I didn't deny it.
He got up and looking at me. He laughed at went back down but stopping inches from my lips. Before he closed the gap he whispered, "You're too easy."
When we connected my heart skipped a beat. He didn't hold back either. He forced my mouth open and and didn't hesitate to put his tongue in. It became difficult to breathe but he kept going. He let go of my hands and wrapped his arms around me, pulling me closer as if we weren't close enough. I tried to pull him off but he held me close.
He finally stopped but didn't let go. He just looked at me with eyes full of desire.
I kept trying to get him off of me but he was too strong.
He started to lean back in but before he could reach me I covered my mouth with my hands. My eyes were shut tight as I waited for him to try to pull my hands off.
"Sorry, was that too much?"
I opened my eyes and loosened up.
Jake's eyes were full of desire still but he was holding back. What did this mean?
He moved back giving me space. Confused I moved my hands away and pulled myself up.
"This may sound cheesy but, the moment I saw you under that tree, I lost myself. I..." He stopped and looked at me. His blue eyes shined as he looked at me. "I fell in love with you. In that moment you took my breath away and time stopped. But I tried to deny it. I was afraid of truly loving you."
I was shocked. He loves me? But, I'm nothing special. And he's, I took a good look at him, something.
"Why were you afraid of truly loving me?" I quietly asked, even though it seemed like a dumb question, without looking into his eyes. I couldn't. Every time I did, I got lost in them.
"Because... because me and the others, we're all connected. We all like the same things. So if I were to accept my feelings then they would too."
Everything was just going too fast. I couldn't understand what was happening.
"Wait, how are you guys connected? Are you all brothers or cousins?"
Jake laughed. "Sort of."
I looked at him waiting for the rest.
"You see we're all orphans," he said as if it meant nothing.
Orphans! Why would their parents abandon them? Unless that didn't happen...
"All of us were put into the same orphanage and we quickly became friends. As time went on we all were adopted and brought back. Multiple times." He paused and fiddled with his fingers. "No one wanted us and we became too old for anyone so we left. We worked together and started living as one. But when your mom offered to house us, we couldn't say no. We wanted a place to really call home, parents who loved us and cared for us. We all felt the same. We're just connected."
He looked waiting for my reaction but my face was still shocked from earlier.
"I know you're going to ask this so I'll go ahead and answer it. Christopher and I are brothers. Alex is our cousin and that's it. Everyone else are only children abandoned."
I opened my mouth but nothing came out. I was glad nothing did because the question I had in mind would probably be too personal.
After a while in silence I finally said something. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to poke into your life."
"No it's fine. Besides, I want you to know."
He looked at me with even more desire and need to have me. It made me a little uncomfortable but I also liked it. I looked away embarrassed by the feeling.
He laughed and leaned back in to kiss my cheek.
"You really are cute. I'm glad to have had that moment. Maybe some other time we could continue."
With that note he left leaving me to my own thoughts. They went straight to the kiss and me waking up to him. I softly touched my lips.
"He loves me?" I whispered to myself still so confused on what just happened.
I laid back down to my bed and groaned glad it was a Friday. I curled up on my bed somehow still tired. I fell asleep only to dream exactly what happened.
