Chapter 19

UNEDITED 👈🤞

Clarissa gave Jacob a brief summary of her childhood and he couldn't help but feel that he already didn't like her parents.

"Tell me about your childhood." She Inquires.

He clears his throat and tightens his hold on her. "I had a great childhood. I have three sisters, and being the only boy, I was spoiled rotten by my mother."

She smiles. "I'm happy to hear that a happy home exists. Your dad, What did he do?"

He clears his throat again. "He left when I was eight. Sent Money...but never really came around...He actually remarried and had two more kids, both boys." He takes her hand and begins playing with her fingers.

"So you have five siblings?"

"Yep...One is twelve and the other eight..." He laughs.

She giggles. "Really?"

"Left my mother to raise four children on her own and will probably do it to this woman too." A bit of resentment rang in his voice.

"You know... I know it's sad when you grow up with your parents apart, but you might have been better off...And if your dad...is a toxic person like my mother is...then maybe you growing up without a father was for your own good."

"Yeah." He agrees softly. "I think I just realized that."

He turns himself to loom above her and stares like she is a rarity. His eyes roll back in his head when she glides her fingertips through his hair and her hand down the side of his cheek.
He turns his head and kisses her palm. "Clair." He whispers. "Something is happening to me."

"Me too." She admits in the same whisper.

He studies her intently, wondering how she became so important to him. How did her pain become his pain so suddenly? How did God create such a magnificent being? Why did he feel like he was under a spell? Her everything magnetized him, drew him in so much, it was overwhelming. He dips his head down for a long gentle make-out session.

Heavy breathing and panting became the sounds to filled the air in her studio apartment. His hands roam her tiny body, caressing and squeezing her thighs.

Then, unexpectedly she felt his phone vibrating in his pants pocket. It ruins the moment. "Oh.. your phone..."

He sighs and rolls on his back while pulling it out. "Just one of my sisters."He dismisses the call.

"Don't do that." She says.

"It's fine." He makes a move to come back over her.

"Wait...Didn't you say you have a family thing?"

He drops his head back on the pillow and lets out a breath. "I do." It was a family tradition to spend every Sunday at his grandfather's house. The whole family would come over and cook all day and just hang out. No one missed it. It was a rule not to miss Sundays unless there was something very important. With the ageing of his grandfather, it became even more mandatory. Family has always been number one in his life so he always went no matter what.

"You should go then... Call me later."

"I should." He pulls her onto his chest. "But I don't want to leave." He felt like she needed him to be here right now. And if he were honest with himself, he was scared that the moment he left she would panic again. He truly did want to be with her he realized. All this time he was kinda waiting, expecting his feelings to change for her, but it's only been growing, and now he wasn't sure he could ever leave her alone. "They'll see me next week during Christmas break." He lets her know.

"Okay... Well...do you want to eat? I'm starving."

Oh yeah... food. He thought. "My stomach is empty but somehow I feel pretty satisfied." He smirks.

Unable to hide her blush she gets up from the bed and busies herself in the kitchen.

He stayed the entire night even though his phone kept ringing. He finally turned it off after a while. The next day was back to routine. Sadly that routine included classes, studying, and extracurricular activities. It left them barely seeing each other, so when the weekend came around again they locked themselves away.

They literally stayed in the whole time intertwined in one another. That wasn't Jacob at all though. He never stayed in, even when he had nothing to do he went out and found something.
Over the last week, if he wasn't with her, he wanted to be. He would drop everything if she asked. It was reckless to let someone have so much control over you, yet he felt as if he had no power over it, nor did he want to fight it.

Monday morning came too quickly... This Friday was Christmas and they both had plans of going back to their families for the break. He had an hour's drive and she had to book a two-hour flight. He dropped her off at the airport and went on his way.

When he arrived at his grandfather's house all his family was there.
It was loud laughter and talking until the moment he walked in. Everyone froze.
His sisters gave him crap about missing two Sundays and he took it, but in his head, he didn't regret being with Clarissa.

Later, while they are all busy having fun, he sneaks away to a bedroom to call his girlfriend.

"Hey." She answers.

"I miss you." He responds.

She was quiet for a second before speaking. "I miss you too." And her tone wasn't what he expected.

"Everything okay?" Suddenly, he hears a woman's yelling coming from her side of the line.

"I have to go." She quickly tries to hang up.

"Wait." He orders. "What's going on? I hear yelling."

"Everything is fine. I'll call you later..." She ends the call.

He was gutted. It registered to him where she was, and what kind of Christmas was she going to have with her parents. Why would she decide to put herself back in that situation?

Immediately he books a flight and once onboard the plane he notifies her of his arrival time. She tried to talk him out of it but it was of no use.

At the airport, she ran into his arms and sobbed. It was such a relief to hold her.

They get into a cab and hold onto each other as if it had been a year and not a day.
"I'm taking you back." He states. "Why would you spend your Christmas where you hate it?"

She sniffles. "If I didn't go would you have gone to see your family?"

He was taken aback. He clamps down on his jaw in anger. "I don't want you to ever do that. Don't ever...do something that makes you unhappy for anyone else...including me. Do you understand?"

She nods.

The driver pulls up in front of a nearby hotel where they rented a room for the night. "We'll get your things and take another flight out in the morning." He states.

She nods again.

Once in the room, she goes into the bathroom to freshen up and when she comes out he is sitting on the edge of the bed with his hands joined and his head bent low.

"Are you okay?" She steps in from of him.

"Come here." He grabs her waist and rests his head on her stomach. "Don't ever do that again. So what if I hadn't gone to my family? I would have been where I wanted...I would have taken you with me."

"Jacob please...." She rests her hand on his head. "Please don't be upset about this. I am okay...This is nothing new to me."

He lifts his head and meets her eyes.
"Well, it's new to me...I'm here now...and I refuse to let this continue. You are my responsibility now...I don't want you to go there, and if you have to, then I'd like to come.

"I'm your responsibility?"

He stares straight into her eyes in all seriousness. "You have become very important to me. I want to be there for you every day and in every way."

"Jacob." She kisses him. She kisses him with more intensity than ever before. She even stuck her tongue into his mouth causing him to growl and pull her on top of him.
He couldn't hold back anymore. He flips her on her back and kisses her deeply.

"I'm ready." She declares while in his mouth.

He pauses and inspects her features. "What?" He swallows. "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." She pulls his lips back on her waiting mouth. She was much more aggressive than usual and he loved it.

She lifted her legs so her knees were in the air and he made himself comfortable in her V, and just out of need, he grinds into her.

She gasped at the rock she suddenly felt.

"That's what you do to me." He affirms in between her mouth. He was relentless. When his pressure eased up on her swollen lips. He placed it elsewhere like he had to taste all of her. Then, like the expert tease, he dared to inch down her panties to her pubic bone and tap his lips.

"Jacob." She breathes in.

"Yes, baby." He answered even though he knew she really wasn't calling him. She was moaning his name and god if it didn't make him go crazy. He relished in it.

"Jacob." She takes in a breath.

"Yes, baby." He answers again while adding more kisses on her inner thighs.

Clarissa was on the edge of an explosion. She didn't know how to describe what she wanted but she wanted. "Jacob please." She begged.

"What happened, baby?" He comes back over her face. "Tell me what you want."

"I want." Her squirming was getting worse even though he stopped. She just wanted him to touch her again. "I want you." She pulls him by his neck back to her mouth.

"Hmm." He moans. The most exciting thing he had ever seen was the look of lust in her eyes. The naturalness of her need was so sexy. To be the one pleasuring her, so satisfying.

She unbuttoned his shirt and glided her soft touch all along his chest and stomach.

His breaths evened. He realized over time that she didn't show affection much, but when she did, it weakened him. He closes his eyes.
"Clair." Shivers run through him. He had no idea that you could feel something that was this powerful and intense between two people. He thought sex was as great as it got but she made him feel like never before.
He didn't comprehend why men settled for one woman until she became all he needed.

She pushes his shirt off his shoulder and with his assistance pulls it off completely. Then surprising him she pulls her dress over her head.

His glare became pure lust-filled. Her flawless skin and plump breasts lay in wait for him. He became transfixed. Her hourglass figure and innocent beauty were mesmerizing. He kneels and studied her entire body. "Wow...Perfection."

He made love to a woman for the first time that night. He was actually focused on her needs and wants and not his own, but he wasn't completely unselfish because he might have been enjoying more than she was. He was never so satisfied before. He might have never been satisfied before... until now.

This night was a special night...the night Alyssa was conceived...

END OF FLASHBACK...
