Taking A Chance

by Kacey Hamford

  “It was just a couple of dances… Nothing more.”

  “So, are we ok? You’re mine?”

  “Yeah, I’m yours… But I don’t like you keeping things from me… You need to earn my trust and you can’t just not talk to me for days. If you’re going to be busy tell me in advance, so I know.” He nodded his head and then pulled me across the seat so I was sitting in his lap. “And what the hell is Amelia up to?”

  “I don’t know, babe… I only went because I saw you in the picture.”

  I nodded my head. “I need to keep an eye on her… She seems different lately… Did you ever see her out before me?”

  “Yeah a few times… She likes attention.” He was running his hand up and down my thigh.

  “When was Matt with her?”

  “Not sure… A few months ago. Why?”

  “Just curious… I need to get back.” I climbed off of his lap and put my seat belt on.

  “Come and stay with me tonight.”

  “I can’t… I’m afraid to earn that privilege you will need to do the whole meeting the parents… I told Mum we weren’t together anymore.”

  “Why did you tell her that?” He asked, starting the car.

  “Because that’s what I thought.” I shrugged my shoulders.

  “Fine, set it up… Sooner rather than later.” I nodded my head and he drove me back home.

  Jacob and I are back on x

  Seriously? How come? Does that mean I have to see more of douchebag Matt? x

  Yeah I’m afraid so, sorry. x

  Ok, I would only do it for you. Are you sure you can trust him? x

  I’m hoping I can x

  “Rose.” Mum called up the stairs.

  “Coming.” I called back. I made my way down the stairs to eat with the family. I needed to mention about Jacob coming to meet everyone. I walked into the kitchen and Mum, Dad and Amelia were sitting at the dining table waiting for me.

  “Hi, honey. Where did you disappear off to earlier?” Mum asked. I knew that she was only concerned for me, but it got annoying me having to tell her where I was all of the time.

  “Out with Jacob.” I told her, as I picked up my knife and fork and cut into my chicken.

  “Jacob?” Amelia asked. I looked up at her, nodded and smiled. She smiled back; I could tell that it wasn’t genuine. “I thought you weren’t together? What about that guy you were with at the party?”

  “What guy?” Mum asked. Great, now I was going to get the third degree. I knew Amelia was doing it on purpose.

  “I was only dancing with him… Jacob and I sorted things out.”

  “I don’t think I like you going to parties to be with all these different boys.” Mum said to me. I looked at Amelia and she was smirking at me. Mum and Dad didn’t ask where she was all of the time as she was over eighteen. I would be eighteen soon and I couldn’t wait. If only they knew what she got up to, they would soon keep her locked in her room.

  “I’m not with loads of boys, I was dancing with one and Jacob is my boyfriend.” I snapped as I stood up quickly, causing my chair to fall over.

  “Was it only one, Amelia?” Mum asked her. Amelia went to speak and I cut her off.

  “Why are you asking her? And not me? Can’t you see what she is doing? She is trying to get me into trouble as she wants to sleep with MY boyfriend.”

  “Oh Rose, don’t be so dramatic… Sit down and eat your food and then we will discuss whether it’s a good idea you seeing this boy.”

  “Discuss it? There is no discussion, he is my boyfriend whether you like it or not.” I shouted and stormed out of the house. Discuss it? I was fed up of them treating me like a baby. I hit Bonnie’s name on my phone to call her; she would have some good advice for me. No answer. I was walking; I had no plan in my head where I was going. I tried calling Jacob next.

  “Hey, babe.” He answered.

  “Hi, are you busy?”

  “No, what’s up?”

  “I had a fight with my parents… I’m out walking.”

  “I’ll come get you, where are you?” I looked around, I didn’t realise that I had walked to the beach. It was a nice night and the sun would be setting soon. I started walking down the steps to the sand.

  “I’m at the beach.”

  “I’ll be there in five.” He hung up and I sat on the sand. What was I going to do about Mum and Dad? I wasn’t going to let them control my life; if I wanted to spend time with Jacob then I would. And why was Amelia stirring things up? Because she wanted to sleep with Jacob? Or was it just because he chose me? My mind was going over everything while I watched the waves crashing and the sun setting. I didn’t hear Jacob approach until he sat behind me and pulled my body back against his.

  “Hi.” I said, quietly as I snuggled into him.

  “You ok?” He asked, wrapping his arms around my middle.

  “I am now.” I smiled. I turned my head and he kissed me gently.

  “You want to talk about it?” I shook my head.

  “Let’s enjoy the sunset.” I told him. I felt happy and relaxed in Jacob’s arms but I needed to get to the bottom of why Amelia was acting the way she was. “Amelia was being a cow tonight.”

  “Was she? In what way?”

  “She told Mum and Dad that I was all over another guy at the party and now Mum thinks I’m fucking everyone… If only they knew it was Amelia, then the sun wouldn’t shine out of her backside.”

  “So tell them.”

  “I don’t think they would believe me, she is little miss perfect to them, can’t do anything wrong.” I shivered as the sun went down; it had got a little breezy and I was still in the sundress I’d put on earlier.

  “Here put this on.” Jacob draped his leather jacket over my shoulders. “Let’s get out of here.” He helped me stand up and we walked to the car park and over to Jacob’s bike.

  “I can’t get on that, I have a dress on.”

  “Zip up the jacket, sit on the bike and then tuck your dress under that gorgeous ass of yours.” I did as he said as he climbed on and got the bike started. “Ready?”

  “Yep.” He rode off. I wasn’t paying attention to where he was riding. I was surprised when we pulled up outside of my house. I didn’t make a move to get off of the bike. Jacob climbed off and held out his hand for me. “I wanted to go to your place.” I sulked.

  “Come on, let’s get this mess with your parents sorted.”

  “You’re coming in?” I asked, surprised.

  “Yeah, they can ask me whatever they want to see if I’m good enough for you.” I still didn’t move from the bike. Jacob put his hands around my waist and lifted me onto the pavement. Once I was standing in front of him he placed his hands on either side of my face and kissed me gently but passionately.

  “It’s probably not a good idea to turn me on before going and seeing my parents.” I giggled.

  “Good point… We’ll stand an arm’s length apart.” He told me. I grabbed his hand;

  “Don’t be silly.” We walked in through the front door and Dad was waiting in the hallway for us. He must have heard us pull up outside.

  “Where have you been, princess?” He asked, pulling me close for a hug.

  “I’m sorry… I needed to get out, I was feeling suffocated.” I was mumbling as my face was still buried into his chest.

  “Rose?” Mum called out. I looked up and saw her walking towards us. I stepped back from Dad and stood in front of Jacob and he placed a hand on my hip. “Oh Rose… Why did you run off like that?”

  “I think we should talk… Mum, Dad you remember Jacob. My boyfriend.”

  “Good evening Mr and Mrs Baker.” Jacob held his hand out to shake my Dad’s hand. Dad shook it and Mum said;

  “Let’s go and sit down, shall we?” Mum and Dad walked towards the living room and we followed them. Mum and Dad sat on the three seater sofa and Jacob and I sat together on the two seater.

  “So are you going to tell us where
you ran off to? Though I’m sure I can guess.” Mum said looking at Jacob.

  “Mum, this isn’t Jacob’s fault; in fact he was the one who brought me back here, telling me to sort it out with you two.” Mum looked surprised. “I need some room to breathe… I’m seventeen and have to ask for permission to go out. If I go out without telling you I get the third degree…”

  “We’re only worried about you, princess.” Dad said.

  “You’re not like it with Amelia… She’s out every weekend and doesn’t always come home until the morning. You don’t quiz her about where she is.”

  “She is an adult now, honey.” Mum told me.

  “Yes and I will be eighteen very soon… You need to accept the fact that I have a boyfriend and that I will be staying at his place with him some nights…”

  “We will have to discuss that…” Mum started saying.

  “No… It’s happening… I…”

  “Hi, J.” Amelia purred as she walked into the living room. She ran her hands down his chest from behind and kissed him on the cheek. He looked uncomfortable.

  “Amelia!” I shouted at her. “Get your hands off of him.”

  “Oh Rose, calm down she is only being friendly.” Mum told me. I looked at Jacob and gave him a look as if to say I told you so. Amelia could do no wrong in their eyes.

  “No! That’s enough; you think the sun shines out of her backside… Well, it doesn’t. She has told me plenty of times that she wants to sleep with Jacob and she tried to get him mad at me last night too, with the photo of me dancing with Karl…” I turned towards Amelia. “That one blew up in your face, well done on helping us get back together. He is my boyfriend and you won’t be getting your claws into him anytime soon.”

  “We’ll see about that.” She whispered as she passed me, so only I could hear. I lost it and lunged towards her, pulling her hair back and slapping her across the face.

  “ROSE!” Dad shouted. I let go of Amelia and Jacob stood up and pulled me towards him. I was shaking my hand as it was stinging from hitting her. “Get to your room… Alone.” I didn’t move.

  “Clearly this boy, with the tattoos,” Mum pointed at Jacobs arm. He had a tattoo sleeve on his left arm, “Is a bad influence on you… You don’t EVER hit anyone… Get out of my sight.” I couldn’t believe that they thought she was so sweet and innocent. I was angry and upset. Jacob pulled me towards the front door.

  “I’d better get out of here.” He said, kissing me gently.

  “Wait for me… I’m just gonna grab a change of clothes and my bag for college.” I turned to run up the stairs.

  “Do you think that’s a good idea?” He asked me. Tears filled my eyes at the thought that he didn’t want me to go with him. I took a deep breath and hoped they wouldn’t escape and fall down my cheeks. He must have seen how upset I was, as he walked towards me and pulled close. “Of course I want you to come home with me… I just don’t want to make things more difficult with your family.”

  “I don’t wanna be here… I can’t…” My voice caught in my throat and he pulled my face up to look at him.

  “Ok, go and pack a bag.” I started walking up the stairs. “A small one, remember we are on the bike.” I nodded and he walked out the front door to wait for me.

  Ten minutes later I was walking out of my family home. I put my bag on my back and climbed onto Jacob’s bike. He had the engine running, so as soon as I was sitting close behind him, he drove off.

  Chapter 11

  I was lying in Jacobs bed when my phone started ringing; I pressed the ignore button once I saw that it was Amelia calling me, again. I waited for it to cut off so I could send Bonnie a message. Jacob was in the shower and I was wearing one of his t-shirts and my panties.

  Fell out with family, I’m at Jacob’s, see you at college tom x

  OMG What happened? x

  Amelia. Will tell you all about it tom. Night x

  Goodnight x

  I placed my phone down on the bedside table and pulled Jacob’s pillow under my head. I didn’t know what I was going to do, I had to go home tomorrow. I couldn’t stay at Jacob’s forever. I couldn’t understand why Amelia was being like she was. Why did she want to hurt and upset me? What did I do to her? Nothing, that’s what. I always had to watch her being the golden girl, watch my parents think she never did anything wrong, when I knew different. Jacob walked out of the bathroom in just a towel wrapped around his waist; that made me sit up and take notice. I had only had sex once before Jacob and that wasn’t anything to write home about. Since sleeping with him two days ago my body always seemed to be on fire and I needed him to cool me down. I sat up and pulled the duvet back for him, smiling. He started to walk towards me when someone shouted;

  “Yo, J!”

  “Who’s that?” I asked, pulling the duvet up to cover myself just in case anyone walked in.

  “My brother.” He told me as he grabbed a pair of boxers and put them on. I slid to the edge of the bed and said;

  “I want to meet him.”

  “Not dressed like that you aren’t. Stay in bed, I’ll be right back.” I pouted and he kissed me. I pulled the duvet back over my body and stayed quiet, trying to listen to what was being said. A couple of voices were raised and then Jacob walked back in, shutting and locking his door.

  “Everything ok?” I asked him, sitting up and resting against the headboard.

  “Just my idiot brother.”

  “Sounds like my sister, maybe we should set them up… Is he hot?”

  “Yeah some people say he’s hot.” He chuckled “I tend not to think about it.” He told me, climbing into the bed beside me. “Let’s see what’s on TV.” He grabbed the TV remote and began flicking through the channels.

  “Oh, ‘Vampire Diaries’ lets watch this.” I said grabbing the controller out of his hand. He chuckled at me and he propped his pillows up so he could get comfy and I snuggled in beside him. It felt nice being in his bed with him, I felt like I had known him a lot longer than a week. I just had to keep reminding myself that it was fun and not start obsessing about marriage and babies. I didn’t think Jacob was the marriage and babies sort of guy. I felt so at home with him that I couldn’t help letting my mind wander.

  As we watched the TV Jacob kept running his hand up and down my side, it didn’t tickle, it felt nice and he was making my panties wet. I looked up at him and he looked like he was playing a game on his phone. I took the opportunity to swing my leg over his hips and straddle him; he lowered his phone and looked at me with his eyebrows raised.

  “Am I boring you?” I whispered into his ear, just so my breasts could lightly touch him. I felt him begin to harden underneath me. I loved the way his body reacted to mine, as mine did the same whenever he was near me.

  “Not at all babe… In fact I love where you’ve chosen to sit.” He dropped his phone onto the bed and placed his hands on my hips underneath the t-shirt I was wearing. I wanted to take control this time around; I’d never had sex with me being on top before and I wanted to try it but I was worried that I would do something wrong. I rocked my hips and felt his hard cock pressed up against my clit, the sensation shot through my body and I whimpered. Jacob grabbed the end of my t-shirt and pulled it off over my head, he ran his hands over my breasts, stopping to play with my nipples. They hardened as soon as he touched them. He sat forward and sucked one into his warm mouth. I ran my hands up his back and into his hair; I held his head still as I arched my back pressing my breasts closer to his mouth. I felt a groan coming from him and if it was possible it made me wetter. I felt him tap my bum gently. I looked at him and he said;

  “Take your panties off.” I stood up on the bed, with my legs still each side of his and wiggled out of my panties. I tried doing it seductively and sexily but I wasn’t sure if it was working. When I looked back down to him he had removed his boxers. I sat back down on him and threw my panties onto the floor. He pulled me close to him so that I was pressed up against his hard cock.

  “You’re so wet.” He groaned. I nodded and began to rub myself against him. He used his thumb to play with my clit and I felt a hot sensation take over my body. I wanted him inside of me. I rose up and positioned him against my opening, as he began to slide into me he suddenly stopped.

  “Shit… Need a condom, babe.” He reached into his bed side table and pulled one out, holding it out to me. I wasn’t sure what he was asking; did he want me to put it on him? He lifted my hips so he was no longer buried inside of me. I handed him back the condom and he shook his head.

  “I want you to do it.” He put his hands behind his head and watched me as I tried opening the packet. “Use your teeth, it’s easier… But don’t rip the condom.” Oh great, now I was under pressure. If I managed to rip it but not notice I could end up getting pregnant. It was a good job I was on the pill. I carefully opened the condom and slid it onto him. “You can carry on now.” He told me. I lifted myself up and I carefully slid down onto him. It felt good, I felt fuller and it felt like he was deeper inside me than the first time we’d had sex. I sat very still enjoying the new sensations, when Jacob said;

  “Babe, you’re killing me… You need to move.”

  “Oh… Um, I’ve never done this before… Tell me if I do it wrong.”

  “You can’t do it wrong. If it feels good to you then it will feel good for me. Here...” He placed my hands onto his chest so I could balance as I moved my body up and down. I started off at a steady pace, but as I could feel my orgasm approaching I worked harder, moving my body faster. I wanted Jacob to enjoy this as much as I was. I knew he was close when he began thrusting up as I was slamming down onto him. Our breaths were both heavy and panting, and we were both covered in sweat. I was moaning as he was moving with me and soon we both fell over the edge into a long and blissful orgasm. I fell on top of him, I was exhausted, but it was definitely worth it.

  “Do you wanna shower now or in the morning?” He asked me, sleepily.

  “Morning.” I mumbled. I was falling asleep on top of him and I felt him move me slightly, which woke me up a bit. I guessed it was so he could sort out the condom. I was too tired to move, but I felt him move away from me and I hated the coldness that was left behind. Within seconds he was back and wrapping his body around mine, I sighed with happiness and fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
