Chapter Six
Jacob
Every second in her presence makes it harder and harder to not take her. Not that Iâd know what Iâm doing but I do understand the basic biology of it from school. At six in the morning, I leave the room and seek out the gym. Every morning begins with a workout. Today, I am going at it much harder than I usually do. My frustrations are at an all-time high. I need her like I need oxygen. I wonder if itâs because itâs the first time in forever I have been in close proximity with a young woman, but I quickly dispel that. I was a healthy kid growing up. Went to a coed Catholic school. Iâve been around girls before and I never wanted them the way that I want her. She's ethereally beautiful, like a dark angel, but it's more than that. She's sweet and cares for me. Cares about me. If I didn't know better, I could swear that I'm in love with her. Instantly and irrevocably.
When I return to the room, she's up and pacing but not dressed yet. She's wearing the same ridiculously threadbare pajamas as last night, only this time I can see her nipples. Her perfect, perfect nipples. I have a sudden urge to bite them, to mark them. I am just wearing a pair of grey sweatpants and a sweat-soaked t-shirt.
"Where were you?" she asks concerned.
"At the gym, why? What's wrong?" I am immediately on alert and concerned for her.
"Uh, I, uh, didn't know where you were. I was worried," she says stiltedly, wringing her hands.
"I'm fine, darling."
"You shouldn't call me that," she tells me, walking into my open arms. I can't help smiling.
"What should I call you then?"
"Beth is fine with me."
"Beth is a fine name," I tell her rubbing her back.
"We should go back to the church and be sure the damages won't interrupt the Sunday service."
"Of course. I am just going to take a quick shower." She makes a strange gurgling sound in her throat and backs away from me.
"Good idea. Iâll leave you to it,â she says going back into her room.
I decide to keep the room until I can see what kind of damage we are dealing with and if itâs safe for Beth to stay there. When I emerge from the bathroom, I find her dressed, without her wimple on, sitting on the couch watching a reality show.
âWhat is this?â I ask simultaneously appalled and intrigued by the two cast members making out on a boat.
âBelow Deck. Itâs my guilty pleasure,â she says suddenly looking up from the TV at me. âIs it wrong for me to like this? I never thought about that before.â
âNo, darling. Itâs fine. No sin there,â I say reassuring her. She is unbelievably beautiful. I want her to be mine, but I know that can never be.
âOh, good. I havenât been able to let it go completely.â She looks relieved which makes me smile.
âYouâve got time, though I still watch sports.
