LOVING TWO

Chapter Sixty: Calling It Quits?

Jake- I would've wanted a brother...I always did...I felt so alone growing up...I just never expected my enemy to be related to me..

Jazmin- Jake don't say that...You both shouldn't even see each other that way anymore..

Jake- I don't Jazmin..At least not anymore...But he will never accept me as his brother and you know what?..That's fine with me...

I could've seen in his eyes that was far from being the truth. He truly wanted a brother bond with James. Though I also knew that wouldn't happen. James was too hard headed and prideful. Even if he did deep down wanted a chance to get to know Jake. His huge ego would never let him say what he was really feeling. He would never put aside the fact I once belonged to Jake also. That made him hate Jake enough not to bother with getting to know him as a brother.

Jazmin- So how did you enjoy the party last night?

Jake- Oh I didn't go..

Jazmin- Why not? You had purchased the costume and all..

Jake- Ashley wasn't feeling up for it..

Jazmin- So what exactly is up with you two?..I know you wanted to say something when we met at the store..

Jake- Honestly...I don't know..

Jazmin- Jake you must know when your relationship with her began to fall down hill...

Jake- I rather not talk about it..

Jazmin- You can trust me Jake you do know that right?..

Jake- It's just that...

Jazmin- What happened?..Just spill it..

Jake- *Takes Deep Breath.....I...I called her your name while we made love one night..

Jazmin- (I awkwardly raised an eyebrow of shock as I looked down).....Um....Wow....I don't know what to say...

Jake- Well she had A LOT to say...That's not the worst part...

Jazmin- Oh no...There's more?

Jake- The baby we're expecting was from that night...So you can imagine she's not very fond about her pregnancy or me for that matter...

Jazmin- She must hate you right now..

Jake- At this point she probably wishes she never met me...

Jazmin- Still that doesn't excuse her reaction towards the pregnancy..

Jake- I know..but hey enough about this..How about we go to the park?..

Jazmin- *Smiles..That sounds great..(Perfect timing to change the subject...I didn't want him to get into detail..Even if it was clear he hasn't fully moved on from what we had)

We grabbed a couple sweets to go and drove to the nearest park. The afternoon was beautiful. It was fresh outside and the sun was shining with just the right warmth. The park was half empty which was perfect. Jake went excitedly crazy taking Aquamarine on every slide and even sat with her on a swing. As I was sitting on a bench enjoying watching Jake holding Aquamarine. My mind wondered off. I visioned James doing everything Jake was doing with Aqua. I smiled as I pictured a perfect family that in reality was only far from reach.

My smile soon vanished as I replayed those nights I had spend with James. The way he touched me the way he kissed me. How only a stare of his could ignite my entire body. I felt like I was set on fire every time I was with him. I thought about the night before. How I had him so close. Feeling his lips again troubled my mind and caused me to have unwanted questions linger in my head. Did I really move on? Would I possibly neglect a chance of happiness with the one I had loved so much if he would ask me to come back? I wasn't certain anymore. I blamed James for that. He had the power to destroy everything I had build with Miles over the year in just a couple of minutes. It wasn't fair..not for Miles or for me.
