A Girl Nobody Wanted
Chapter 50

I was just staring at him. Having all the thoughts going on in my mind. I don't know how long I stayed there.

"Enjoying what you see?" his voice brought me back to the real world.

He was smirking at me. I blushed with guilty. I felt like a small kid who got caught while doing something she is not allowed to do.

"Come..." he then said as I was still waiting near the door.

I slowly walked towards him, still looking down. I had no courage to look at his face.

"Sit..." he demanded, showing the space next to him.

I didn't feel like sitting next to him when he was just barely covered with a towel. But you must know by now that Jake is someone who never takes no for an answer. He grabbed my hand and made me sit next to him.

"Look at me..." he then raised my head with his hand.

Then he traced his index finger gently over my face.

"You look like a ripe tomato... I want to eat you..." he whispered seductively.

You are making me even red, idiot...

He then took my right arm and kept it right above his heart on his bare chest.

Have you ever electrified? Well... I got electrified right then. I don't know enough words to explain all the feelings I had when my hand touched his warm skin. I felt his heartbeats under my touch. God! his heart beats so fast... I think mine is the same... "Do you feel my heartbeats..." he murmured again.

I wanted to say yes... But no words came out of my lips. I just nodded my head.

"Only you can make this heart beats like this... Remember that forever..." he said gently.

My eyes filled with tears...

Then he removed his hand from my hand and held my face from both of his hands.

"You are so beautiful, my princess... Please tell me that you are mine..." he said when his eyes were focussed on mine.

Yes, I am yours... Forever and beyond... I would die instead of being with someone else...

"I love you, Jake... I love you so much... I am yours... Yours only..." I whispered when tears were running down my cheeks.

He looked stunned by what I said... He was staring at my face for a few seconds...

Then the next moment, his lips attached to mine... I totally lost my self in his warm lips... That kiss was so passionate... Filled with so much love and affection...

I have no idea how long we were replaceing heaven in each other's lips... I don't even know how I managed to stay without breathing for that long... Or did I breathe while I was kissing him? I don't know... It was like a dream...

He then broke the kiss and cuddled me to his chest... His well built, masculine, bare chest...

I wrapped my hands around him and got my self attached to him even more... This is my place... My rightful place in this world...

He smelled wonderful... I think it is his body wash... I couldn't help but kissing his bare chest gently...

"I was waiting so long to hear those words from you, my princess... I don't care how much my leg hurts, I have never felt this happy in my entire life..." he said, kissing my head.

Luke's POV

I help Jake to take a wash without letting his injured leg getting wet. Then I help him to sit on the bed and placed his leg on a small stool.

Jake didn't have any clothes to wear in this room. So, I went up to his room to take things he may need.

I was exhausted. I don't feel like even walking. All I wanted was just take a bath and crash to a bed. But for him, I was willing to travel around the world now, if it is required.

I went through his closet and found a comfortable short and a T-shirt for him to wear. Then I needed to replace something for Sarah too... I always keep extra clothes for me here. So I was okay...

Then I collected other things such as his cologne, face wash... It will be easier to keep all these things in downstairs.

After getting everything, I went downstairs. His bedroom door was opened as I left it. But I stopped a few steps away from the door because I heard some sounds inside.

Sarah has come to his room... She was sitting next to him...

He was kissing her!!!

They were in a very passionate kiss!!!

He was caressing her hair and her back while kissing her... Her hands were exploring his naked back...

This was the very first time I saw them this close and... kissing...

I knew I should ready to face this one day... From the moment they started their affair officially, I knew, I have to stand these things... But when it happens in reality right in front of my eyes, it was unimaginably painful to accept... God! Please forgive me for having thoughts like this...

I love both of them so much... I want nothing but happiness for them... They deserve each other... They deserve happiness...

But I am also a human with feelings like everyone else... No matter how much I want them to be happy, I can't just ignore the fact that their happiness makes my happiness disappear...

Why my life is this complicated? What have I done to deserve this pain?

Breaking the kiss, Jake then cuddled her to his chest.

Both of them seemed to be in a totally different world... Their own small world filled with love and happiness... A world that I am never going to have...

I made myself covered by the wall... I didn't want to interrupt their moment...

*************

Sarah's POV

I was startled when the doorbell rang... I was still in his arms... I quickly pulled my self from him...

"I will get that..." Luke's voice raised just behind the door.

When I raised my head, I saw him walking towards the living room. He was carrying something in both of his hands.

He was just behind the door, wasn't he?

God! How long has he been there? He might have seen everything... I am pretty sure my face again turned red.

"He saw us, didn't he?" I whispered.

"So what?" Jake chuckled.

"We were kissing and..."

"So... Did we do something illegal?" he laughed again. His whole face was lit up with a playful smile.

"You are insane..." I said, pouting.

"Don't get stressed over little things, princess. We love each other. We don't have to be afraid to show it. On the other hand, it is Luke... He is the only person in this whole world that understands and supports us without any condition..." he said in a confident voice. When he talked about Luke, his voice clearly showed how much he trusts Luke and how much Luke means to him.

How wonderful to have a friend like that...

*****

We ate pizza while watching TV. Jake was talking about some random stuff. But Luke was strangely silent. He didn't even laugh at anything we talked about. I think he was extremely tired. Poor Luke.

Jake also felt his silent behavior... He asked Luke a few times as well. But Luke just smiled wearily.

I called dad after dinner and told that I am staying at one of my friend's house. He didn't even ask who the friend is. I know he doesn't care even if I don't inform him. But Jake insisted that I should tell him.

After that, Luke took Jake to the room, and help him to get into the bed.

"I will sleep on the couch in the living room in case you need me." Luke offered.

"No need to sleep on the couch, we can share the bed..." Jake replied.

"What about you?" Luke asked me.

"I am going upstairs..." I quickly said.

"Why? You can stay here with him. You can tell me if he needs to go to the bathroom or anything." Luke again asked.

"No... I am going upstairs..." I replied.

I would love to sleep next to him. It would be a dream come true. But tonight is not the right time for it.

"Okay, then... Shall we sleep now? I am so sleepy." Luke said.

After saying goodnight to both of them, I came to Jake's room. I took a quick wash and changed to Jake's bottom and T-shirt, which Luke has kept for me.

I was feeling so tired too. So I quickly crashed to the bed. The pillow smelled like him. It actually feels like sleeping next to him. Within a few minutes, I fall into a deep sleep. Having sweet dreams about us...

********

I woke up early. Luke and Jake were sleeping so peacefully.

Letting them enjoy their sweet sleep, I came to the kitchen to prepare something for breakfast.

"Good morning..." Luke's voice raised behind me when I was halfway done with preparing breakfast.

"Good morning..." I greeted and turn around to look at him.

He still looked tired, even after sleep.

"How is Jake? Did he wake up in the middle of the night?" I asked.

"No... He slept well thanks to the pain killers," he replied, smiling.

"That's great... Do you want some tea or coffee?" I asked.

"If it is not a trouble for you, tea sounds good..."

"How is it trouble for me? You do this much for us... Can't I just make a tea for you?" I said, switching on the electric kettle.

"You were extremely tired yesterday night, weren't you?" I asked.

"Yeah... I was a bit tired," he said, sitting on a chair by the kitchen table.

"Not just a bit... You were completely different yesterday, during dinner... Like you are in a different world..." I said.

"What? Did I look like that? Then I was tired more than I thought..." he said, smiling after a small pause. But that smile didn't reach his eyes as usual. I don't know why, but when he talks, I felt there was something more than just exhaustion to his unusual behavior. Is he in some kind of a problem? Should I ask him about that? I was thinking while pouring hot water to his mug.
