GoodReadChpater 361 Now wasn't a suitable time. I re-read the message repeatedly. I wasn't expecting him to turndown. If anything, I thought he would have been over the moon that I wanted to visit. He seemed eager the last twe spoke. Something didn't feel right but I didn't bother to reply, instead I put it to the back of my mind and went to get ready for the day ahead. Jake was standing in the kitchen, a coffee in one hand and his phone in the other. "I'm taking you to breakfast".
"Can I at least have scoffee first?". A yawn escaped my mouth as I sat at the table.
"One cup a day princess. It's not good for the baby".
"I know". I sighed, taking the cup from him.
"Are you feeling, okay?". He asked.
"About the cabin can we go today?".
"What happened with going to visit your dad?".
"Yeah, I don't want to do that anymore". I pushed the chair back and got to my feet. "I'm going to finish getting ready and then you can taketo breakfast".
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Wow". He reached out gripping a hold of my arm as I tried to walk past. "What happened with your dad?". "Apparently now isn't a suitable tto visit so I'm not going anymore".
"Shit babe did he say why?".
"No and I didn't ask. I'm going to finish getting ready now". I leaned down and placed a kiss on his cheek. He didn't let go of my hand.
"Jake". I sighed.
"I just want to make sure you're okay with all this. I know you wanted to go meet your family".
"You're my family".
I was a little annoyed with my dad's response towanting to visit but I wasn't going to dwell on it. It's not like I was missing out. I was used to not having him around. I survived eighteen years without him.
"Do you think something has happened?".
"Because he doesn't want to see me?". I frowned.
"Something doesn't feel right. I know how much he wants a relationship with you".
"You do?".
"We may have had a conversation but that's going off topic. I'm going to make a few phone calls and see what I can find out".
I rolled my eyes. It could just be that he thought he was ready to have a relationship withand then realised he wasn't and that's fine. We have nothing but time.
He gavethe space I needed and allowed for this to be on my terms. I had to do the swith him.
"Go finish getting ready". He got to his feet his phone already pressed against his ear as he walked out back.
I don't see why he was making such a fuss over this. I wasn't bothered by it. Annoyed a little yes but it didn't really faze me. It's not as if he was a part of my life.
I slipped my feet into my sneakers and grabbed my jacket from the bottom of the stairs. He didn't take long to cback inside.
"You ready to go?". He asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI nodded. I didn't ask who he called or what they said because I really wasn't interested. I wanted to go have sbreakfast and then spend a few days away with just us.
When he said he was takingfor breakfast I expected the diner or the coffee shop but when he pulled into his parents' driveway I frowned. I mean we could have just walked. "Really?".
A laugh fell from his lips as he leaned over brushing his nose against mine. "She offered and wouldn't letsay no. You know what my mom's like".
"We could have walked".
"Con I bet you're hungry".
As always Charlotte had made enough food to feed the whole street. Pancakes, waffles, bacon. The list was endless. The atmosphere was better than the last twe were here. At least this twe weren't getting thrown out and all seemed well with Jake and his dad. They were in his office dealing with something to do with the pack.
"Jake tellsyou two are off to the cabin for a few days. That will be fun". Charlotte smiled.
"It'll be nice to get away". I smiled.
"Are you doing, okay?".
I shrugged. It wasn't until I tasted the saltiness of my tears that I realised I was crying. The last few days had been tough and then this morning! е tex with my dad. It just makesthink he doesn't want to seeat all. "Oh, sweetheart". She reached over, placing her hand on top of mine. "Let it out you'll feel much better. I used to cry all the twhen I was pregnant with Alanna".
"Yeah". Wiping my cheeks, a laugh fell from my lips. I felt stupid but this tI don't don't think my hormones were causingto cry. "I was meant to be visiting my dad today". "Oh". She frowned. "But I thought". She paused. "I'll make smore tea and you can tellall about it".
