A Girl Nobody Wanted

I drew my self a bit away from him and stared into his eyes. My heart started to beat faster without knowing what he is going to tell me.

“I want to keep us a secret..” he said, softly.

I knew this was coming, right? The moment he told me that he can't tell me why he wants to protect me, I knew we can't seen together outside.

Though I knew that deep down my heart, hearing it from him was painful. It was so painful and heartbroken.

Removing myself entirely from him, I took my legs up on the sofa and buried my face between my own legs. I couldn't res my tears falling down.

“Babe... his voice was filled with sadness and pain.

He put his hand around me and started rubbing my head.

“Please don't cry... I can't stand your tears, please... “he was saying.

I don't know why, but I couldn't stop crying.

He forcefully raised my head and looked into my eyes, as I didn't stop crying.

“sarah.” his eyes were also filled with tears.

“I know it is painful... I am really sorry. I make you cry. Even after I tell you who am I, 1am not able to stop you from crying I am sorry... he said, trying to wipe off the tears from my cheeks. He was holding my face in both of his hands.

I couldn't bear when he keeps on apologizing to me. He doesn't deserve to apologize to a girl like me.

“l am 50 helpless, princess. I don't even own my life. Maybe this is all a mistake. I should not let you come to my life and suffer like this... I have never heard him speaking this broke.

“Not” I screamed.

He looked at me with his eyes stretched.

“Suffering is not something new to me, Jake. Even though I don't enter your life, I will suffer. There was nothing in my life than suffering since I can remember. But with you... I am willing to suffer... If it means I have you by my side... There is no happiness in my life other than you..." I managed to tell among tears.

“I just fell sad because you know... I am such an unfortunate girl. I can't let anyone knows about my brother... Now I can't let anyone knows about you as well... feel like my whole life is nothing but a big secret...

“Babe...” he hugged me again.

“I want to scream to the whole world that you are mine... Mine only... I can't stand even when other guys look at you... You ate my precious princess... My life and my soul... I don't know why you have to keep Shane is your brother as a secret. But when it comes to us... This is just a temporary thing... After that, I will let the whole world know about us...” he said, kissin my head.

My life and my soul... his word was repeating in my mind... Godt He loves me so much... Cold, arrogant Jake loves me that much...

“50... Until that... You will have to pretend to be the same cold, arrogant jerk who doesn't even know that a girl named Sarah exists in this world..." 1 said.

“What” he asked, breaking the hug and looking at my face.

“That's how you think of me?” he asked, scratching his head.

“What?”

“You think about me as a cold, arrogant jerk?”

His tone and facial expression made me laugh... God! How wonderful it to laugh with him.

“How else I should think of you? You haven't at least smile with me until recently. Even the few times we talked you tried be so cold and rude... I said, teasing him.

“I did everything to protect you... You know how hard it was to act like that when each and every cell in my damn body w: craving for you?” he said pouting.

Oh Dearltl He is such a cutie... I pinched his cheek playfully and placed a kiss.

“I got to know it just now... I don't think about you like that hereafter...1 promise... I said.

“How you think about me now?” he asked, making a serious face.

“You are not cold... Not arrogant... Not a jerk." said, laughing.

“Jokes apart... I am serious... You know... I have told you about my feelings... I want to know about your feelings too.." he said. Yeah... No jokes... He is damn serious...

My heart started to thump like crazy... What is he asking? Is he asking if I love him? Well...

suddenly the doorbell rang...

thank Godin

He stood up, placing another kiss on my forehead.

I heard Luke's voice near the door.

jake was telling him something, I couldn't hear properly.

I stood up. I felt a bit embarrassed...

“sarah. Luke ran to me and hugged me tightly. I remembered Jake's words... I can't stand even when other guys look at you...

I looked at him quickly, without knowing how he would react. But he was just smiling and looking at us. Maybe he doesn’ care when it comes to Luke because he trusts him.

“ am so happy for both of you. I have waited for a long time for both of you to get together. You two owe me so much. Yo have to at least name your first baby as Luke to honor me...” he said, laughing.

I blushed... Babies... What the hell is he talking about? We haven't even properly kissed yet. He is talking about babies here...

But Jake seemed to be fascinated by hearing that...

“Of course... We would do that... But what if we have a girl first?” Jake asked.

“Then the next one...” Luke said.

“What if the next one also a girl?” Jake asked again.

“Then you better try until you have a boy... Luke said, laughing.

“That is great, isn't it babe?" Jake asked, laughing at me.

I am sure my face turned to red like a tomato. I looked at him frowning.

But he just laughed playfully.

“Ah, I forgot... brought you some clothes..." Jake said, handing me some bags which were on a chair a bit away from the sofa.

“What? Did you go to my house?” I asked, surprised.

“What? Nott I brought them from a shop...” he said.

“When did you go shopping, I asked.

“Before you woke up...

“Really... You didn’t have to, Jake.. I said worriedly.

“I know you prefer wearing Jake's clothes. But you can't really go home in them, right?” Luke asked, blinking. Jake also laughed with him.

I blushed again... What is wrong with Luke today? He is not that sweet innocent guy anymore. He is so playful...

On the other hand, this Jake... I never expected him to act this funny and laughing... He rarely laughs and acts funny. I thought he doesn't even know to be funny.

“I don't want to be in the clothes that are double in size of me... replied pouting.

“ am going to change...” I said, going up the stairs without letting them speak.

I heard Luke was laughing and Jake was yelling at him before I closed the door.

I went to the bathroom and took a quick wash.

After coming back to the room, I went through the bags Jake handed me.

There was a pink color beautiful floral dress. He definitely has a very good taste.

An unknown shiver ran through my spine, as I saw what were inside the next bag.

There were a pink color bra and a matching panty...

Godt Did he really went to a shop to buy me these... Oh, my poor Jake...

These must be really expensive, I can tell them by just looking at them.

They were right in my size... How he managed to pick everything in my exact size? Even my underwears? I should certainly ask him someday.

I wore the clothes he brought and combed my messy hair. I was about to put my hair to a ponytail when I remember wha that girl told me in the salon that day.

He loves my hair... So just kept it lose and watched my self in the mirror.

The beautiful girl who has happiness filled in her big eyes and healthy blush on her cheeks... She is a total stranger to me Where had she hidden all this time?

How was my life just sometime back when I left this room. Jake was just a guy who helped me, nothing else. But now, whe I return to this room, after some time... Jake is not just a random guy... He is the person who loves me... He is the person who kept his feelings hide just to protect me...

How much someone's life can change in a little time?

I know today onwards my whole life would be different. Though I can't let anyone knows about us, every time I see him ir university, I will die with happiness thinking he is mine... That handsome, smart Jake, with whom I was so obsessed, is mine... Only mine... 1am not a girl nobody wanted... My Jake wants me... He loves me more than anything... Luke also love me as his own sister... My life is not miserable anymore. I can face any obstacle that comes in my way with a smile becaus I have these two with me... They say God gives the best for people who wait... I think they are right... I wait this long, without having anyone by my side, bearing all the pain... But now I have people in my life to share my happiness and my sadness... They are willing to protect me at any cost...

I went down...

“You want cheese or butter on bread..." Jake said as he heard my footsteps, without turning to me.

“Mmmm...” I said, thinking.

“God!” Jake screamed, looking at me.

“What?”

“You looks like an angel..” he said, smiling.

I laughed.

Luke also gave me a thumbs up.

“I am so happy that I can tell you how beautiful you are in person now.” Jake said.

“You seriously need to change the way you wear, Sarah. You are such a beautiful girl, but you dress like an old lady” Luke said.

“What to do? I had to go through a lot even to afford those old lady's clothes.” I said smiling.

“Oh... 1 am sorry, Sarah. I didn't want to hurt your feelings.” Luke apologized.

“Hey... Don't worry... My feelings don't get hurt like that. ” I said, laughing at his face.

“I think I should buy you some more clothes..."Jake said, thoughtfully.

“What? Not” I protested.

“Why?” he asked.

“I have told you, Jake. I don't want you to spend money on me.”

“But.”

“No buts... “I said, sharply. He may be so rich, but I can't just use him to get what I want. He is my source of happiness, no my source of income...

“You are 50 stubborn and proud, Sarah,” he said finally.

“Don’t tell jokes, Jake. You love her because she is stubborn and proud, don’t you?” Luke asked laughing.

jake didn't say anything, he just frowned at Luke.

suddenly I heard my phone rang...

Luke handed me the phone.

“It is Shane.” I said, forgetting to breathe.

Shane never calls me... Maybe they know I didn't come home yesterday... God! Mom and dad must be really pissed off. Th are going to kill me...

“Answer it.."Jake said since I was just staring at the phone.

“What should I tell, if he asked where was I last night?”

“Tell him, you are at Penny's house and you will come home soon," Jake replied casually.

“What? Penny? I don't even know her much...”

“Don’t worry, I will take care of it Jake replied.

I answered the phone...

“Hello.”

“Is Luke With You?" he yelled without even saying hello...
