Up all night
September 2003
The phone just kept buzzing, it felt like time stood still, neither of us moving. Jacob had glanced down for a quick second to see who it was. Apparently he wasn't interested in speaking with her because his attention was immediately back on the road.
I tried to act casual, I looked out the window, I ran my hands through my hair, all while trying to glance briefly at him. I wanted to see his reaction. Unfortunately it hadn't changed since the call, he looked just as relaxed and calm as before. He even started chatting again about a bonfire his friends were throwing next weekend. I brushed aside the fact that his ex girlfriend just called and joined in on the conversation.
My mood had drastically changed, but I don't really know if I had a right to feel this emotional. It was just a call, and technically we weren't exclusive. All that said though I was annoyed. When we pulled up to his house I remained on auto pilot and followed him in. Jacob poured us a drink and we went upstairs to his room.
"Want to watch a movie or something?" He held up a couple dvd's and I pointed to the comedy. About half way through we were too busy making out to pay any attention to the movie. All thoughts of the call were forgotten as his lips touched my neck. Unfortunately somewhere between removing my shirt and his, my insecurities creeped back in. I pushed him off me and sat up.
"Everything ok?" Jacob asked.
"Yeah...no, I don't know. It's about earlier, in the car. Your phone lit up and you got a call?" He still looked confused so I continued. "Kim, as in ex girlfriend Kim called." The memory registered on his face. I expected him to react nervous or something, at least that's how Cal would have reacted. But instead he just smiled and shook his head.
"Kim is the name of my ex girlfriend, but it's also the name of my aunt." He grabbed his phone from the nightstand and flipped it open, scrolling to missed calls he opened up the contact and there was a small picture of a women holding a little boy. The picture wasn't great quality but you could tell she was older. I instantly felt a little embarrassed. Jacob noticed my reaction and raised his hand gently to cup my cheek.
"Hey, I can see where the confusion happened. But honestly I haven't given the other Kim much of a thought in I don't know how long." This did make me feel better but I knew I still had to say something.
"I guess that makes me happy but what I don't like is how much it bugged me. I mean we're not exclusive or anything but the thought of you still talking to her made my mind wonder and I didn't like thinking you might also be seeing her. " I looked up at him.
"Juliette, I'm not seeing anyone but you. In fact I don't want to see anyone but you. I didn't realize you didn't know that." He exclaimed. He had stood up now and was leaning against his dresser facing the bed. I crawled off the bed and walked toward him. Reaching up on my tiptoes I raised my hand, brushing it through his hair then pulling his head to me. His forehead rested on mine.
"Well I'm not seeing anyone else either." I said in an almost whisper. His mouthed curved into a smile. I moved my lips to his and gave him a quick kiss.
"So, you saying what I think you are?" He asked before giving me another quick kiss.
"You think we should see other people. " I said leaning my head back and giving him a crushed look. I couldn't keep a straight face though and started smiling. "Not what you meant?" I squealed when he pinched my ass and pulled me closer.
"Just shut up and kiss me Jujie." With pleasure my mouth found his.
I woke up the next morning with Jacob's arm around me. He wasn't awake yet but I had to pee so bad. I slowly moved his arm off of me and ran to the bathroom. When I returned he was already getting dressed.
"Sorry I woke you but I had to pee." I smiled as I watched him pull his shirt down over his delicious abs.
"It's OK, I'm starving, my girlfriend kept me up all night working out. " I couldn't help the huge grin that appeared when he called me his girlfriend. We got ready then headed to IHOP for some pancakes. I had a class that afternoon so he drove me home after. It was hard breaking away from his kiss to go inside but somehow I manged to.
When I opened the front door I was greeted by Amanda and Alicia. They were sitting on the couch laughing at some photo album. Stepping closer to see I noticed one of the kids in a picture was me.
"Let me see that! " I yanked it away from the giggling girls. The photo was a large group of kids of all ages. In the back row of children I was standing with my arm around Amanda on my right. Next to me on my left was Jacob and we were standing so close or cheeks were touching.
"How freaking cute, how many people get to say they have a photo cheek to cheek at five years old with their boyfriend?" I glanced up from the album to see Alicia grinning. Amanda had a different look however. .
