Teach Me Love

by S. Moose

  “Jacob did you buy this house?”

  “Yes sweetheart.”

  “For yourself?”

  He laughs. “For us sweetheart. Welcome to your new home. I know that we never talked about it but I want you and Lucas to live with me. I want to wake up to my family here and take care of you both. Please say yes.”

  The tears in my eyes rolls down my cheeks. I can’t believe he bought us a house. I throw my arms around his neck and smile, “Yes of course!”

  He lifts me up into his arms as we kiss. “I’m so glad you said yes sweetheart.”

  Jacob takes me by the hand and gives me the tour of the house. Everything is decorated beautifully. Each room is finished with furniture and pictures of artwork, Jacob’s family, my family and in the family room there is a picture of Jacob, Lucas and I sitting in my living room. My heart swells with so much love and adoration for this man. The kitchen is new and all the equipment is made of steel. There is a warm embrace in here and I can’t wait to cook many meals in here for my boys.

  “Jacob I don’t know what to say.”

  He kisses my cheek, “I still have upstairs to show you.”

  We walk up the winding stair case and he brings me to Lucas’s room. “I know Lucas has his bed but I thought he’d like some things.”

  I look around and fall in love with his room. There is a bed and a nightstand to the right of the bed. There is a desk facing the window and a dresser next to the closet. It’s still bare but I think Lucas will love it. On the nightstand, there is a picture of the three of us from his birthday. “Jacob this is incredible.”

  “Come here.” He takes my hand again and shows me the other rooms. When we reach another room the door is closed, “Close your eyes sweetheart.” I do as he says. I hear the door open and Jacob leading me in. “Okay open.”

  I slowly open my eyes and my jaw drops. Jacob has an office set up for me. There is a large mahogany desk with a computer and a Mac Book. We walk around and I see there is a balcony facing the backyard. “You can always watch us when we play in the yard sweetheart. This is your space for when you want to get away and get things ready for teaching.”

  I don’t know what to say. I turn to him and throw my arms around his neck. My lips meet his and hungrily I slide my tongue in. The passion builds and I feel light. His arms hold me tight and I never want him to let go. We release our passionate kiss and look at each other. Breathless.

  “One more room,” he whispers.

  We walk to the next room. Our room.

  There is a large king size bed with a brown and white bedding set. There are throw pillows stacked up against the pillows. There are windows on each side of the bed. I walk in and see two night stands. His and her night stands. There is a large bathroom connected to the bedroom with a shower, Jacuzzi and two sinks. I walk back out and look at the closet. I run to open the door and my mouth drops. Jacob’s clothes are on one side and mine on the other. The closet is enormous! I look at the clothes on my side but nothing looks familiar.

  “Jacob?”

  He’s behind me laughing, “I had Isabella pick out clothes for you. You have your teaching clothes. Casual clothes. Evening wear and,” he points to a dresser, “Well you can see for yourself.”

  I look inside and there are beautiful lingerie sets. I cover my mouth and feel the lacey material. “Oh Jacob, thank you but this is too much.” I spin around the closet, overwhelmed by his generosity.

  “Only the best for you sweetheart. Come on let’s test out the Jacuzzi.” He winks at me and walks out.

  Chapter 21

  Jacob

  I’ll do anything to make her smile. She deserves nothing but the best. I turn on the Jacuzzi and drop in lavender and strawberry bath salts. I peek in the room to see what she is doing but I can’t find her. I check the water and it’s a nice hot temperature.

  The bath starts to foam and the smell lingers throughout the room.

  “Sweetheart? Are you coming?”

  Within a few seconds, Abigail comes in with a black silk robe. Her hair is tousled and she is wearing a shimmery red lip gloss. Her beautiful seductive eyes look at me and instantly my dick is jumping.

  “Hi,” she softly says.

  I go up to her and start taking off her robe, “Hi beautiful.” My hands open the robe and notice she’s not wearing anything underneath. I kiss her neck down to her collar bone while rubbing her perky breasts.

  “Jacob,” she moans.

  The robe comes off as she starts to take off my jeans and shirt. Once we are fully naked, I lead her into the Jacuzzi and sit her on my lap facing me. “You don’t know how badly I want to fuck you Abigail.”

  I hear her sharp gasp. She leans onto my chest and I feel her heart beating against me. “If you want to fuck me, then do it Jacob.”

  “Fuck.” I move her up and bring her back down onto my throbbing and hard member. Our breathing increases as she rides me. Her breasts bounce up and down. I take them in my hands and suck on each nipple. The moans coming from Abigail makes me want to take control again. “Baby turn around.”

  Abigail looks at me with curiosity, squinting her eyes but follows my instructions. She turns around and I adjust her so that her beautiful ass is up and her hands are resting on the railing. I get up and smack her ass a few times, “Oh Jacob.”

  “You like that baby?” I slap her ass again.

  “Yes, Jacob. Oh my God.”

  Without warning, I thrust inside of her. Her loud moaning and screaming my name makes me go faster and harder. I grip her hips and pull her back towards me. Over and over again I push myself into her. She’s so wet and feels good around my cock. The electric surge of pleasure intensifies as I take my right arm and wrap it around her waist. My fingers find her sensitive area. As I am fucking her, I play with her clit. Slow and sensual at first but when she calls out my name, my fingers twirl around her faster and faster.

  “Jacob! Jacob! I’m about to come!”

  Her muscles tighten around me and with a few more hard thrusts we both find our release. The orgasm washes over me and Abigail’s body shakes beneath me. “Shhhh baby. I kiss her ass up to her back. “I love you Abigail.”

  She turns her head and smiles, “I love you Jacob.”

  I take her hand as we get out and wrap her in a plush white towel. The smile on her face warms my heart and makes it hard to breathe. I kiss her forehead as I watch her leave the bathroom, “I’ll see you soon.” She blows me a kiss and walks away.

  I laugh to myself and finish cleaning the bathroom. I look up and feel someone watching me. As I turn around, I see Katherine. “Katherine?”

  She gives me a smile and disappears. I’m not sure what to think or say but a settling peace falls over me. I finish up in the bathroom and walk over to the woman I love. She’s lying under the covers and I see her body slowly moving up and down. I climb in bed with her and kiss her on her forehead. “I love you sweetheart,” I kiss her again and see a smile on her face.

  “I love you more.”

  I bring her to my chest and wrap my arms around her. I never want her to leave. She’s my forever and I’m her always.

  The Sunday morning sun beams its rays in the bedroom. I leisurely open my eyes and look down at my Abigail, watching her for a while, her chest rising and falling with each breath. Her eyes are softly close as she rolls over on her side. She tucks her hand under her face and wiggles her nose. Damn. I can watch her all morning until she wakes up. Not wanting to leave her side, I force myself to get up and throw on some clothes. I leave a note for her and place it on my pillow.

  Sweetheart,

  I’ll be back soon. Going to get us some breakfast.

  I love you,

  Jacob

  I walk out of our house and get in my Audi. I take out my phone and send a message to Gary.

  Me: I won’t need you at all today. Have a good Sunday off.

  Instead of my original plan to get breakfast, I head over to Logan and Hayden’s
to pick up Lucas. The drive to their house is about fifteen minutes so I send a quick message to Logan to let him know I’m on my way. As I pull up into the quiet driveway, I get out the car and see Lucas open the door and run to me. I get down on one knee and open my arms wide for him. Lucas jumps in my arms, “Daddy!”

  I don’t think I can ever get tired of hearing him call me that. “Hey! How was it?”

  Lucas simply smiles. I put him down and take his hand as we can go into the house. Mila’s sleepy eyes find mine and start to smile. “Uncle Jacob! You’re here!” I walk over to Mila and give her a hug.

  Hayden’s in the kitchen making breakfast, “Morning handsome.”

  “Morning pretty. Mmmmm what smells good?” I stand beside her and steal a pancake off the griddle, “So good love.”

  “Get out of my kitchen,” she laughs hitting me with a towel.

  Mila tells me everything that happened last night and how much fun she had with Lucas. It’s great to hear how well they’re getting along. Lucas comes down the stairs with his bag and is ready to go. “Alright looks like we have to head out. Thanks again for having Lucas over. Tell Logan I’ll see him in the office tomorrow.”

  “Alright I will. Bye Lucas!” Hayden and Mila walk over to Lucas and give him a big hug.

  When we get outside, Lucas has my hand in his, “Miss me?”

  “Oh of course Lucas. We both did. Mommy’s going to be so surprised and happy to see you!”

  Lucas claps his hands together, “Oh really? I missed her too. Can we play today?”

  I laugh, “Yes we can play all day today. Alright get in the car.” I open the door and help him. I make sure he’s all set before shutting the door. When I get in the car I turn on the radio as we listen to Luke Bryan and bopping our heads to the song. When we get to our house, I tell Lucas to be quiet when we get inside so we can surprise her.

  “Where are we?” He asks while getting out of the car.

  I take his hand, “Our new house. What do you think?”

  Lucas’s eyes go wide. “Wow! Do we have a pool? A playground? Is my room here? Is Mama excited?”

  I let out a loud laugh and rub his hair. “Easy little man. We’ll get all of that soon and yes Mama is very happy. Your room is almost done. We just need to bring your things from your house to our new one. How’s that sound?”

  “Amazeballs!”

  “Amazeballs?”

  “Dad it’s the cool thing to say. You’re so old!”

  “I’m not that old,” I mutter.

  When we walk in, Lucas pulls my arm down to let me know he wants to jump on my back. I get down low so it’s easy for him to climb on. When he’s on, I hold on to him tightly and we walk into the bedroom.

  “Surprise,” we yell out.

  “Mama!” Lucas squeals jumping up and on down on the bed.

  “Hi baby boy. Did you have fun last night?”

  “Yes so much fun. Can we play outside?”

  “Why don’t you go watch some cartoons first and then we’ll go play.” Lucas scrambles off the bed and runs to the living room. I hear the bed creaking. Abigail’s arms are around my neck. She rests the side of her head on my shoulder.

  I look into her eyes and I see happiness and love, just like how I feel. We hold this embrace without saying anything for a few minutes. Having her in my life and teaching me to love again makes me realize I can be a better man.

  Abigail’s hands are on my face. I close my eyes and breathe her in. “Let’s go play with Lucas. Come on.”

  Chapter 22

  Abigail

  Jacob is out of town for a few days and I miss him terribly. I start packing my house and look around, the memories made here playing through my mind. It’s hard to let my first house go but I’m happy to be moving on with Jacob and creating a new chapter in our lives. I take a seat on the floor and look around. Everything is about to change. I take out my phone and scroll through my pictures. There are so many of Jacob, Lucas and I. Each picture brings a smile to my face.

  The door bell rings. I get up to answer it and find Hayden standing with Mila holding bags of groceries, “Hello!”

  “Hi girls!” Mila wraps her little arms around my waist and I lift her up. “How is the most prettiest girl doing?”

  “Hi Abigail. Where’s Lucas?”

  “Upstairs babe. Go ahead and play.”

  We watch Mila run up the stairs. Hayden and I hug. “What brings you over?”

  “Just thought a girls night is in order. Heard from Jacob today?”

  I help her with the bags as we walk into the kitchen. “No,” I pout. “I know he’s busy with meetings and signings but still I miss him.”

  Hayden takes out the chicken breasts and vegetables. “That’s weird.”

  “What?”

  “Ah um nothing.” Hayden looks away from me and focuses on getting the mixing bowl to put the chicken in.

  “Hayden? Spill it!” I grab her arm and look into her eyes. There is confusion and sadness. “Jacob didn’t have meetings today huh?”

  She shakes her head. “They met with Anthony today and took some clients out for lunch but that’s it. Logan is back at the hotel sleeping. He said Jacob didn’t come with him.”

  Before I can do anything, my phone rings. It’s Marilyn. “Hey.”

  “Go to your computer and pull up Star’s Report Card.”

  I run to my laptop and pull up the internet browser. Hayden comes over to me and places her hand on my shoulder. I type in “Star’s Report Card” and press enter. I feel the tears coming down my eyes.

  REPORTING NOW! MR. HOT AND DELICIOUS IS OFF THE MARKET NOW LADIES-FOR GOOD. LOOKS LIKE LOVE WITH AUDRINA IS HEATING UP. BYE BYE ABIGAIL HELLO AUDRINA.

  “I have to go.”

  “Bu-but Abigail,” Marilyn yells.

  I hang up my phone and scroll through the pictures. Jacob is holding hands with her and she is looking lovingly in his eyes. He’s holding her close to his body as they walk out of Tiffany’s. “No,” I shake my head, “I don’t believe it!”

  Hayden comes to my side. She closes the laptop and brings me into her arms. “Shhhh you are right. Jacob loves you!”

  My heart breaks and I can’t breathe. This isn’t right. We are about to live together. All of us. Lucas, Jacob and I are going to start our lives together. How can he do this to us? How can he break his promises? I cry into Hayden’s arms.

  “Why Hayden?” I sob. “He promised me he would never hurt me or break me.” I can’t breathe. I close my eyes and feel my heart slowing down. This isn’t happening.

  “Shhh Abigail. We don’t know the whole story. You know how the tabloids are. We need to talk to him and hear from him.” Hayden reaches in her pocket to get her phone. I lay my head on her lap and cry. “Hi babe. Sorry for bothering you. Is Jacob there?” Silence. I hear her sigh. “Tell him to check the internet.” Silence. “Yeah.” Silence. “Okay bye. I love you too.”

  “Wh-what’d he say?” I try to talk between my sobbing but I can’t control anything. Nothing makes sense. I keep picturing how happy he looks in the picture with her. I cry into Hayden’s lap. Everything seems so small and not real. How can he do this to me? To Lucas?

  “Listen sweetie. You don’t know if it’s true. There’s nothing you can do. I want you to look at me.” Hayden lifts me up. “Jacob loves you and Lucas alright? He would do anything for you both. I do not believe that article! Yes he and Audrina had a fling or whatever but you’re his future not those other whores!” She gets up and takes my hand, “No more crying! Come on let’s have some wine and eat dinner.”

  I wipe my eyes and think about what Hayden just said. She’s right. There’s no point in crying until I talk to him. I give Hayden a hug and thank her for being my friend. We go into the kitchen and make dinner for us and the kids but my mind can’t forget the words on the screen and a piece of me breaks, thinking about the possibilities that Jacob could be cheating on me.

  *****

  “Sweet
heart,” I feel his lips on my forehead. “I’m home.”

  I’m dreaming. He’s not here. I’m not supposed to pick him up until tomorrow night. Just go to sleep Abigail.

  “Sweetheart.” His warm touch on my shoulder and cheek ignites me. I slowly open my eyes and see him sitting before my eyes. He’s here. The sight of him startles me.

  “Jacob?”

  “Hi sweetheart.”

  I wonder if he talked to Logan. I sit up on my bed and we stare at one another. Neither of us says anything. I’m actually not sure what to say to him. Should I let him know what I saw? Should I wait for him to tell me? I bring my hands over my face and rub my tired eyes. None of this makes sense.

  “I’m sorry I didn’t call or text you. Things have been a mess.” He looks away from me and rubs his knee. Oh no. It is true. He’s here to tell me that it is over.

  I hold my body tight and turn away from him. I just can’t handle this. I try and think about Hayden’s words. Yes he does love me and Lucas but the pictures shows him with her!

  “Abigail, sweetheart what’s wrong?”

  “I don’t know. I just saw something online and I don’t know if it’s true.”

  He looks at me, “Do you trust me? Trust that I love you and Lucas?”

  “But the picture Jacob.” I can’t stop the tears streaming down my face. Jacob takes my hand and my cries get louder. “Why Jacob? Why!”

  “Sweetheart those pictures are old. I know what it looked like. Logan showed me the pictures. I had a meeting earlier but then I was free.”

  I shake my head, “But where were you?”

  Jacob stands up and paces my room. He looks nervous. He looks like he is going to tell me something. Before I can say anything, he comes back to my bed and reaches inside his jacket pocket. He takes out a black velvet box. My hands fly to my mouth. Oh shit.

  Jacob laughs. “Open it.”

  I take the box and slowly open the box. Inside there is a three stone diamond ring in a platinum setting. It’s beautiful and takes my breath away. “Jacob is this…What is…Oh...”
