Just A Kiss (Part 2) by zzmbrashear (reading rainbow books .TXT) 📕

sports or having anyone to teach me how to play them. I know Bella’s a girl but girls still need a Father. I will love you two until death and even after that. I understand that you don’t want me in her life so I will stay away. Maybe go and see the world. I don’t know what I will do but what ever I’m doing I will be thinking of you.

Love Always,
Jacob


A tear rolled down my cheek. I know that he truly loved me but so does James and I can’t hurt him when he did nothing to me. I walked back into the living room. James was still playing with Isabella. My Mother and Father were on the couch watching CNN. I wiped my cheeks and sat down by my parents. My Mom saw I was in distraught.
“Miley dear, will you please help me in the kitchen?” She asked me. I nodded and walked behind her. When we got in there she sat at the kitchen table. She pulled out one of the Oak chairs and said, “Sit.” I didn’t say anything. “It was Jacob.” He guessed. I nodded. She held out her hand and I put the note in it. After she was done reading she sighed. “Miley, Miley, Miley.” She said as she shook her head. A tear rolled down my cheek. “Do you still love him?” She asked me.
“I love James. I love James.” I repeated.
“Do you love him too?” She asked in a sincere voice.
“I can’t! I don’t! I mean, I’m engaged to James. I love James.” I told her. I stood up and watched him play with Bella.
“You love him.” She said. I hung my head.
“He hurt me. I can’t let him hurt her.” I told her.
“Everyone is going to hurt you sweetie, you just have to find the ones worth hurting for.” She said. She stoked my hair.
“I don’t know what to do.” I said being honest.
“This is something I can’t help you with.” She said and folded up the letter. I walked back into the living room and walked up to James and hugged him.
“You okay?” He asked.
“Fine. I love you. You know that right?” I asked him.
“Of course.” He said.
“Okay. I was just checking.” I said and buried my face back into his chest. I checked James watch and saw it was getting late.
“Well, Mom, Dad, Its getting late, I think we will be hitting the road.” I told her.
“Where do you think you’re going?” My Father asked me.
“To the hotel, sir.” James answered.
“Oh no your not!” My Mother said. “James your family. You all stay here.” She said. James and I exchanged looks.
“I’m okay with it.” He said.
“Okay Mom, we will stay.” I told her. Bella ran up to us and jumped in our arms.
“Yay!” She screamed.
Since today was one of my few days off. I had to work tomorrow. I walked into Bella’s room. She was coloring a picture.
“Whats that?” I asked her. She held it up.
“Thats you Mommy and thats Me and thats Jacob.” She said. The picture was of her in the middle and Me and Jake on her sides. I almost choked.
“Where’s James?” I asked.
“I don’t know.” She answered.
“Okay well, time for bed.” I told her. She scampered to her bed and jumped on it. I covered her up and kissed her forehead.
“I love you. Sleep tight.” I told her.
“Love you too, Mommy.” She said and then tightly squeezed her stuff monkey and closed her eyes. I walked out of her room and shut off the light. I leaned against the wall in the hallway and slid to the bottom. I was in a ball crying. I love James. Not Jake. I kept repeating over and over hopping that the more I say it that the more It will come true. James came up from down stairs and rushed over to me.
“Miley! Are you okay?” He asked.
“Sh. She’s sleeping. I’m fine.” I said as I took his hand to help me up. He gave me a big hug.
“Is this about that guy that answered the door?” He asked.
“How do you know about that?” I asked him.
“I saw you guys talking outside through the window.” He said.
“His name is Jacob. He is Isabelle’s Father. Real Father.” I told him. His hand fell to his hips.
“Oh.” Is all he said.
“Don’t worry. You’re the one I love. The one I want!” I made clear to him.
“I know sweetheart.” He said. We kissed and then went to bed.
“Goodnight.” He said as he clicked the lamp next to his side of the bed off.
“I love you.” I told him. He rolled over and put his strong arms around me. I rolled over and buried my head into his warm body. When I woke up he wasn’t there. I put on my robe and walked downstairs. James and Bella were making Breakfast in the kitchen. It smelled really good. Bella was cracking the eggs as James fried them and the bacon. My Dad and Mom came down the stairs behind me. I walked up to James and put my arms around him.
“Good morning.” I told him and gently kissed his lips.
“Good morning.” He said and he kissed me again. After we were finished eating that delicious breakfast James and I left for work. I kissed Bella bye and we left.
When I got to the firm Jasmine ran up to me. Her short black hair covered her face and she was jumping up and down.
“Lemme see it! Lemme see it! Lemme see it!” She screamed over and over again while jumping up and down like a little kid in a candy store.
“Okay. Okay.” I said and held out my hand.
“Holy Shit! Look at the size of that rock!” She screamed.
“Sh. Keep your voice down.” I told her with a giggle.
“He’s a keeper.” She said. We started walking towards my office.
“He’s a keeper but not because of the ring, because of how he is with me and how he loves me so much.” I told her.
“Just like Jacob loved you.” She brought up.
“Hey!” I yelled.
“Okay, sorry.” She apologized.
“You don’t know what he put me through when I was younger. When your a teenager you will believe a guy if he says I love you. You will believe them when they say forever and it hurts more than anything when forever comes to an end.” I told her. She stopped dead in her tracks. “What?” I asked her and all she did was point to in front of her. When I looked up Jake was standing before me. I turned around and tried walking away. He ran in front of me and stopped me.
“Miley!” He said. When I tried to plow through him.
“Don’t!” I told him in a stern voice.
“I can’t let you go. You’re my world. Everyone has one true soul mate and your mine. Not his! Don’t you see. We share a child. A beautiful girl who I want to be a part of her life. I don’t just want to be a friend. I want to be a Father. Someone who she talks to. Someone who makes a difference. I want you back. I was wrong. You’re the one for me. I love you!” He said. Emotions boiled inside me.
“I will not make the same mistakes that I did last time. I will not let myself cause myself so much misery. I will not break the way I did, I fell so hard. I’ve learned the hard way to never let it get that far. It took years to forget you. Because of you I turned so many people down. I played on the safe side so I wouldn’t get hurt. James is the first one I let in in a long time.” I told Jake. He had tears in his eyes.
“But I love you!” He yelled.
“The easiest words to hear are but I love you. The hardest words to hear are I love you, but.” I told him. I hugged him as he cried. “I love you but, my heart belongs to James.” Jasmine was sitting in a chair watching this whole thing. She was almost crying. I know how she felt because I wanted to cry too. I couldn’t.
“Goodbye, Jacob.” I told him. As he walked out of the building James walked in. He gave Jake a weird look. I didn’t know what it was about. James came up to me and kissed my cheek.
“Hello Darling, ready for dinner?” He asked me.
“Yeah. Let me grab my coat.” I told him and then walked to my office and grabbed my coat. Jasmine was waiting for me.
“How could you let him leave? I’ve never seen a man cry like that.” She said.
“Do you think it was easy? I loved him a one point but that was a long time ago when we were kids.” I told her.
“Miles, you still love him.” She said.
“I love James.” I told her. I was getting really sick of everyone telling me who I love when they are not in my head. They don’t know anything!
“And Jake.” She added.
“Why does everyone keep saying that! You don’t know who I love. You don’t know!” I told her. She saw a tear escape from my eye. She walked up to me and hugged me.
“I know honey.” She said.
“You don’t know how it feels to be left to raise a child when you’re still a child yourself. I was terrified and the only one I had to help me get me through it was my Mom and Dad. Jake was running around with other girls. Having fun, while I had to stay home from school and breast feed. I lost my way so many times. I couldn’t cry because its a sign of weakness and I had to be strong for Bella. I was forced to fake a smile everyday.” I told her. She wiped my tear. “All the guys I met and ran away from couldn’t have possibly broke my heart because it wasn’t whole to start with.” I told her. Then I saw James standing at the door. He heard everything. He knows that I still love Jake.
“James!” I said. He turned around and started walking. “James!” I yelled.
“What! Do you want to marry me? or am I just wasting my time?” He asked me.
“I love you! I want to marry you! Don’t question that!” I told him.
“I want you. Thats what I need.” He told me.
“Jake knows your the one I love. I let you in. Don’t break your promise.” I told him.
“I love you so much.” He said and put both hands on my cheeks. “The thought of losing you almost kills me.”
“I’m not going anywhere.” I told him. He slowly pressed him soft lips on mine. When I pulled away he pulled me in for a tight hug that I really needed. We went out to dinner and calmed down.
The next day I had a day off. I spent every second of it with Isabelle. We walked to the park. She is so smart. She’s six years old. I feel horrible about missing so much. I bought each of us some ice cream.
“Guess what happened in school today!” She screamed so excitedly.
“What!” I asked trying to seem just as excited.
“Mrs. Bubonic let me erase the board. I got a gold star!” She said and then
