Chapter 6

Jake took MC home once they had gotten back home MC couldn't control her urges any longer. She pushed Jake up against the wall and kissed him deep her hands found their way under his hoodie. Jake's hands ran through MCs hair and the heat between them was rising. MC grabbed Jake's hand and pulled him towards her bedroom clothes flying off as they went.

After a few hours later MC and Jake both lay on the bed catching their breath Jake intertwined their hands. MC turned to face Jake still holding hands with each other.

Jake: MC, I know this might sound stupid but I need to ask you, will you be my forever?

MC: Of course I will Jake but only if you will be my forever too?

Jake: I can't say no to such a beautiful women

Just as they were about to share a kiss MCs phone buzzed, she leaned over to check who it was. It was Phil sending her another message begging her to meet up with him as he was in trouble.

Phil: MC please I am begging you I need your help so bad right now, I am in trouble

MC: why should I care if your in trouble we are not together anymore

Phil: please!!! This is important MC I'm in trouble with my taxes

MC: So what? You made your bed now lie in it I'm busy fucking my boyfriend

MC put her phone down and grabbed hold of Jake again, in a fit of passion their hands were all over each other. Later that afternoon after their intense activities MC and Jake were making something to eat when there was a knock at the door.

MC went to answer and the two officers from the other day, they had come back to let us know about the investigation. MC stood tomome side and let the officers in.

Officer Baine: good afternoon MC, Jake we are here about Phil

MC: Okay, just tell us when the court date is, we will be there but I promise we will be putting up one hell of a fight.

Officer Grant: Yes we are here about that but not how you think, the charges against you and Jake have been dropped

Jake: What!!! But now?

Officer Baine: while we were investigating Mr Hawkins we discovered that he was being investigated by another team for tax fraud

Officer Grant: we now know the whole thing was a pack of lies, you will not have anymore problems from him

MC wasn't quite sure what to think. She knew there wasn't anything good about Phil but to dodge his taxes that was massive. After Jake had shown the officers out he came back and gave MC a hug.

A few weeks had gone by, Phil had been arrested for tax fraud, he was still awaiting his court date. Jake's shop was busier than ever, business had really picked up, everyone recommended him and always left positive reviews.

MCs POV

The group chat had blown up again and it had been quiet for ages, news started pouring in saying Hannah had gone into labor. I fought to hold back from saying anything but it was becoming harder and harder.

Lilly was begging me to help, why I don't know what the hell does she really want me to do, ride in on a horse and say everything is going to be okay.

I couldn't hold back any longer and decided to make one comment and I would be logging off from the chat.

MC: Lilly what the hell do you want me to do? I am not getting involved in this shit, not after what Hannah and Phil did to me. Leave me alone and stop sending me messages. I am not interested in what's going on, okay!!.

MC offline

MC put her phone back in her pocket and went back to work, lost in what she was doing. She didn't notice that Jake had closed the shop for the day she came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

She could smell his scent. It was so intoxicating it made her smile as she held his hands. Jake took her hand and gave her a hug. He could see that she was stressed with everything going on.

Jake: It's going to be okay

MC: it doesn't seem like it, the group chat blew up before Lilly begging me for help just because Hannah had gone into labor

Jake: What does she want you to do?

MC: I don't know, I just told her to leave me alone and logged off

Jake: come on, let's go upstairs and I'll make us some dinner

MC: your so sweet, I love you

MC stopped in her tracks. They had never said I love you to each other yet, her whole body froze not knowing what to do or say.

MC: Jake, I..I…

Jake: I love you to MC

He walked back over to her with a smile on his face and kissed her deep wrapping their arms around each other.

The next morning MC and Jake had decided to have a lazy day. It was Sunday so they just stayed cuddled up together watching Netflix. While MC was picking another movie MC phone rang it was Lilly.

Jake: let me answer you keep looking for a movie

Jake picked up the phone and answered

Jake: Hello Lilly what's up?

Hannah: Jake? Is MC there?

Jake: What do you want?

Lilly: It's Hannah, she's having to raise the baby all on her own she needs MCs help

Jake: not a chance Lilly, don't you get what your sister did to her? Hannah slept with Phil behind MCs back

Lilly: I know, but I was hoping

Jake: Lilly stop calling if Hannah needs help you help her your sister, or better yet just get a nanny that way you can both go back to being the stuck up snobs you both are.

Before Lilly could say anything Jake ended the call and went back to MC who had found a movie to watch.

MC: thank you Jake, that was amazing

Jake: your welcome

MC: You know, I've got a much better idea come on

MC grabbed Jake's hand and led him into the bedroom, they didn't come back out till it was time to make dinner. It was MCs turn to make dinner tonight so she made a homemade lasagne with garlic bread. Jake had lit some candles and had a bottle of wine ready to pour into the glasses.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

[coolman-traveler]

We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.

Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare.

Chapter 9

A few weeks had passed and the new shop was coming along really well, everything had now been gutted; it was like a blank canvas for Jake and MC to remodel. Jake explained what he had in mind and MC drew up the plans. Once they had finished they were ready to hand over to the workmen to start work.

It felt like a long six months but it was totally worth it, there were still some little jobs to finish but everything was looking amazing. While Jake was busy with the workmen MC was working on the new website adding a lot more stock and repair options for customers.

While trying to work MC had been feeling sick she just put it down tomsometbing she had eaten. As the days went on she was feeling more and more sick so she decided to go to the doctor's. She hadn't told Jake where she was going otherwise he would have wanted to go with her.

At the doctor's they asked her all kinds of questions, one being was she pregnant but MC just dismissed the idea. So to make sure she gave them a urine sample and it was sent off to be tested. It was a long couple of days wait when she got the results back MC was indeed pregnant.

MCs POV

How am I going to tell Jake that I'm pregnant? We haven't been together that long and now this is happening. We haven't even spoken about the future yet we haven't even talked about marriage. He's not going to want to be with me now, not when he's just opened up a new shop for the business.

I'm going to have to find myself somewhere to live, where do I even start. I've got nine months to get all this figured out what the hell am I going to do.

MC started to pace up and down with a panicked look on her face, Jake had just gotten back home when he saw what MC was doing. He put his stuff down and walked over to her putting his hand on her shoulder causing her to jump.

Jake: Hey, are you okay? You look worried

MC: Oh, erm yeah…

Jake: MC you're acting strange what's wrong?

MC: Okay, here goes Jake there is something I need to tell you, I'm pregnant

Jake:

MC: I know this is something we never talked about and you are probably not ready for all this. I get it I'll just figure out somewhere else to love you don't need to be in the baby's life

MC went to walk towards the bedroom when Jake grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. He kissed her softly on the lips and she moaned into his mouth as his hands cupped her face.

Jake: MC I am over the moon that you are pregnant, I'm sorry I didn't say anything my brain was thinking about how I get to be a dad and you a mum.

MC: You really mean that Jake?

Jake: of course, I love you MC your my world

MC: I love you to Jake

Jake: You know we should look for a new place to live

MC: You think so? What's wrong with the apartment?

Jake: Well for one it doesn't have a garden for our bundle of joy to play in

MC couldn't help but smile at all the things Jake was saying, she started to wonder just how lucky she had been. Finding Jake was the best day of her life. She loved him so much and now she gets to have his baby they both get to be parents.

A couple of weeks had passed and the shop was now open and was doing better than ever Jake was busier than ever. It seemed that people outside of duskwood would travel from Colville just to have Jake repair their computers, laptops, phones, anything tech Jake knew how to fix.

In-between answering customers requests on the website MC was looking for a new place to live. There weren't many options in duskwood and she was about to give up when she found the perfect place. It was a 3 bedroom house with a white picket fence with a medium sized front garden. At the back the back garden was massive, plenty of space for a baby to play.

MC went to check if Jake was with a customer before she showed him the house, he was just finishing up when MC came from the back of the shop.

Jake: Hey beautiful, someone looks happy

MC: I am very, specially with the man of my dreams

Jake: And who would that be?

MC: You of course silly, before we get distracted I've found a place for us.

MC showed Jake the place on her laptop Jake loves everything about it, Jake said they should call the estate agent and request a viewing. MC pulled her phone out and contacted the agent right away; she arranged for a viewing later today after the shop had closed.

After the shop had closed MC and Jake walked to the house it wasn't far from the shop. While walking they could hear someone shouting MCs name when they turned round it was Hannah.

Jake: don't worry MC I'll deal with her

MC: why doesn't she just get the message

Hannah: Oh hey, glad I caught you guys I just wanted to say no hard feelings after what happened

MC: What is it you don't get? Don't your ears work? Or are you really that stupid? Maybe it's just both leave us alone

Hannah: I just want to be friends with you both

MC: come on Jake we need to get going

MC grabbed Jake's hand and they both walked off leaving Hannah standing there shouting at them.

Hannah: fine if that's how you want to be I'm going to tell the others about this and they will all be on my side.

An hour later MC and Jake had finished viewing the house, it was everything they had wanted. The agent left them alone for a moment while they talked it over.

MC: Jake, as much as I love this house can we really afford it?

Jake: don't worry about that MC I've got more than enough money tucked away

MC: You have? Why have you never told me?

Jake; I'm sorry if I didn't, that wasn't my intention

MC: So how much do you have?

Jake: well with everything we did to the shop £5.3 million

MC: WHAT!! you have…..

Jake: It was money my grandparents left me when I was little. I just left it in the bank and let it work for me. I made a few investments and they paid off.

MC: wow! I can't believe it

Jake: I am sorry I never told you

MC: it's okay, I'm glad you told me now

After a few more minutes of talking the agent came back over and Jake made an offer on the house. The agent contacted the owner and they accepted the offer all MC and Jake needed to do was sign the paperwork. After everything was signed they were given a move in date. On the way back to the apartment they saw Cleo and Richy walking towards them.

Cleo: hey you two haven't seen you in ages how are you?

MC: Hey, we are both good. How's things with you?

Richy: can't complain the garage is doing so much better now thanks to you MC

MC: Don't mention it, i was happy to help with the revamp

Cleo: we spoke with Hannah awhile ago

Jake: I guess you are taking her side in all of this

Cleo: No, what she did was wrong I can't be on her side not after what she did to MC

Richy: Cleo is right, the way she's been acting is wrong I can't take her side either

MC: What about the others?

Cleo: you know what a sucker for baby's Jessy is, Lilly will always be on her side, Dan hates what she's done too.

Richy: He said he's going to stick by her tho for the baby's sake..

The four continued to talk. They told them about the baby and the new house, they were so happy for them they said if they needed any help on moving day to let them know. They arranged to meet up at the weeknd and catch up some more.

no one does miscommunication like griddlehark. they're so bad at it that they don't even do the communication part. they just do utterly insane things out of love for each other and then each one interprets the actions of the other in the wrong fucking way
