Future - II
It’s still early when I wake up. Jacob is deep asleep. I sit next to him, wondering what I am supposed to do. After pondering for a while, I get out of bed and wince in pain. I guess going on for hours after two months of break isn’t exactly recommended. I slip on shorts and a t-shirt, then head out towards the laundry room with Jacob’s and some of my clothes.
Tricked him real good last night. I snicker, remembering his reaction when I told him I was going out, leaving him there blindfolded. But it was hot as fuck. Too bad he didn’t let me complete what I started. No worries, now that we are together, I can get back at him someday.
But when?
My shoulders slump when I think about being away from him. I didn’t have the guts to ask him if he got any reply for college. Maybe he did, but ignored it because we weren’t together.
and Ira.
God! I was planning to call her last night after the party. But… Things didn’t go my way. I am not complaining, but she deserved a call yesterday. I pull my phone out and text her.
Me: ‘Are you awake? ‘
To my surprise, she replies immediately.
Ira: ‘Natalie? ‘
I call her, and she picks up.
“About time you finally called me… I guess it’s because you are in trouble again. Right? “
I sigh.
What should I tell her? How much does she already know?
Does she know Dad didn’t let me talk to her? Fucking lame.
“I am sorry Ira…”
“Yeah, go ahead with an automated response.” She sneers.
I hear a click, then a few more. Which sounds like a …
Lighter?
“Are you smoking?”
She stays quiet for a moment, then says, “Yeah..”
Since when?
“I guess that’s why your dad thinks I am a bad influence on you!” She adds bitterly.
Dad said that? I am furious all over again.
I ignore her jibe and ask, “Where are you?”
“Finally slept with a new boy last night. I am in his room.” She is trying to sound bold but I can hear her miserable voice beneath.
I am calling her too late.
“Mom got married two weeks ago, if that’s what you are wondering, but too ashamed to ask.”
I bite my lips. I am worse. Fuck!
“I guess you four are living together now?”
“Such a genius you are!”
“What else has happened?” Why she suddenly went ahead to sleep with someone?
“I am not in the mood Natalie…. Come see me if you want to talk,” she says and cuts the call.
I pinch my brows in frustration. I have to be a better friend to her.
… … … … … … … … ..
🤍🖤💜 Jacob 💜🖤🤍
… … … … … … … … ..
When I wake up, I see Natalie is not around, and I am late. I can still manage to reach home by 8:30 and leave for school after that.
Damn.
Another late slip.
The door opens, and she comes in with a pile of clothes in her hands.
“Finally, did the laundry!” I say, amused.
“Yeah…” she grins, placing the clothes on the bed.
I grab her arm and yank her towards me.
“Were you touching yourself?”
“When?” she asks innocently.
“You know when!” I say, pulling her closer.
“I don’t know what you are talking about,” she says, her lips dangerously close to mine.
“Yes, you do…” I grab her boob and squeeze it a little. She gasps.
A knock on the door stiffens both of us.
“Should I go into the bathroom?” I whisper.
“No. That’s ok,” she says quietly and opens the door. A girl almost burst inside the room, but Natalie blocks her way.
“Why aren’t you ready?” She asks.
“uhmmm… I am going home today…”
WHAT!
A smile forms over my lips realizing I will get a few more days with her. This is all I need right now.
To recover what I lost. To drown her with kisses. If I wasn’t naked in her bed, I would have grabbed and kissed the fuck out of her. My heart is thumping with excitement and anticipation of our ride back home. Maybe we can spend a few more nights together.
“Ohhh… Just inform the coach. But why didn’t you go with your parents yesterday?”
“Ash…. I am going home for good.”
I freeze in my spot.
Did she say going home for good?
“What? Why? Did… did you talk to coach Seb about it?”
I get out of bed and walk towards her. The girl shrieks and Natalie turns with her eyes widened. I shut the door on the girl’s face.
“What the fuck, Jacob!”
I picked her up by the waist and kiss her. She wraps her legs around me to keep her balance. I walk towards the bed. I bite her lips hard then throw her down.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” I growl at her, grabbing her shorts and pulling it down.
She laughs and pushes me away.
“I have to pack my stuff… Inform coach and do so many formalities.. I do not have time to fuck!”
“A quickie never hurt anybody.” I say, pulling her panties down.
I keep my eyes on her face, trying to read her. Her eyes bright, her grin naughty, and her lips parted.
“Say it…” I urge her, rubbing my finger across her slit and toying with her clit.
“Yes…” She breathes out and I pump my fingers inside her to make it ready for me again.
….
After having sex for one more time, which apparently wasn’t a quickie, I help her out with packing. It’s almost noon when I stumble upon her personal collection of vibrators.
“Was it enough when I wasn’t around?” I tease her.
She blushes and pulls them out of my hands. “You are lucky I didn’t have a cock ring with me last night.”
I raise my brow at her. “Seriously?”
“Yes!” she raises her chin in defiance. “I plan to buy one for you. So you cannot jerk off when I ask you not to.”
“Come on!” I drawl, “You are saying as if you didn’t enjoy it.”
She laughs at first then goes quiet.
“I don’t know, Jacob… How will we stay away for four years? I don’t want to stay away from you anymore.”
I smile. “Come here. I have news.”
I pull her into my lap. She looks at me, perplexed. “Did you get accepted here?”
I shake my head ruefully. “I got accepted at University of Illinois.“
“Oh…” she says.
“It’s not much… but it’s something… Only two hours of flight. I can even drive here to meet you…”
“Five hours of drive. Right?” She thinks and asks.
I nod. Arizona was a four hours of flight away from this city and driving this far wasn't even an option.
“Oh, God,” she hugs me tight. “I couldn’t sleep last night thinking about it… You have no idea how much it means to me.. This is much better…”
A warm rush of content washes over me. I really wanted to share this news with her. I am glad she is happy about it.
It will still be tough to manage but for her I can make anything work.
“For me too…”
I get to keep the career of my choice and my girl.
What else do I need?
……
Natalie does all the formalities to quit the program. I meet her coach and feel literally jealous. I am not even sure why.
Probably because he got to be around her, not me and the fact that she seems close to him.
Damn, I am being pathetic again.
“He is hot. Isn’t he?” Natalie quips when we walk away from him.
“Seriously!”
“What?” she asks while hopping in the car with me.
“He is probably your father’s age!” I say in annoyance and shake my head in disbelief.
“Awww, you are jealous…” she says, pinching my cheek.
“Quit it!” I brush her hand away.
She shrugs. “Ok! But he is only 32.”
How the fuck she knows his age?
“Natalie… he was a teenager when you were born… Stop lusting over him, for God’s sake!”
She laughs and I shake my head, amused.
……
After driving almost more than an hour, my phone rings. It’s dad. I can get it later.
Then it rings again and again.
“Should I pick it up?‘ Natalie asks.
I sigh.. “Yeah, go ahead…”
I am not sure why he is being persistent.
“Hello! Hey Mr. Miller. It’s Natalie..”
He says something and Natalie looks at me, confused.
I glance at her and ask, “What?”
“Wait, wait, I don’t understand… Let me put it on speaker.” She says.
“Jacob!”
“Dad! What is it? I am driving.”
“Where are you?” Dad says in an anxious voice.
Is everything alright?
“I am almost an hour away from home. What happened? ”
“Just come home straight. Okay? We will talk. Just come home.”
“Uhmm…Okay..” I say and suddenly see a flash of blue and red lights behind me.
The car gives me a siren.
I glance at my speedometer and realize I am going 20 miles above speed.
Fucking great! I didn’t even realize.
“Dad, I am getting pulled over. Bye!”
“Jacob, just cooperate with them. I will be there,” Dad says, and the call disconnects.
That was an odd thing to say.
….
What happens in the next few minutes does not make any sense until the officer slams my head on the ground while arresting me.
I see black spots in front of my eyes and then it finally clicks…
Riley...
Something happened to her..
