No Regrets- part 3
My palms were sweaty and my legs shook a little, as I stood with a bouquet of flowers outside Jake's house. I was supposed to meet his mom and have a dinner with her and Jake tonight.Finally Jake had talked me into this, after that weekend when he announced that his mom would love to meet me. Since then I'd been thinking for hours what should I wear and what should I talk with her and how she would take the fact that I was 20 years older than Jake?
"Hello! Come in!" The door opened, disrupted my thoughts and Jake's mom stood there smiling. She grabbed me by my elbow and lead me in to the house, blabbering cheerfully something along the way. "I am so glad to finally meet you, Jake has talked so much about you." she said to me smiling. "And just between us I think is is good that he found someone about mature boyfriend instead of those young guys with nothing in life." she continued. She lead me to the living room, where Jake was waiting for us. He jumped up and rushed to me, wrapping his arms around my neck, kissing softly my lisp. I was feeling kinda embarrassed, because his mom was watching us, but she didn't seem to mind, so after a moment I lowered my arms around Jake's waist and pulled him closer.
"When you are done, dinner is ready." she chirped and went to the kitchen leaving us alone. Jake grinned to me, breaking the kiss, fiddling with my neck hair with his fingers, placing another on my back pocket. "Another?" he smiled and I nodded. I placed my lips on his, pressing, kissing him and I've almost had forgotten how good it felt. To have him pressed against me, his hands doing something all over my body and lips kissing me hungrily, ready to steel my tongue. I don't know how long we stood there, I forgot as usually.
Jake broke the kiss and took my hand in his. "Come on, mom is waiting.."
; he laughed and lead me to the kitchen. We sat on the table and his mom served the dinner. It was good and delicious, I complimented her about it many times and she seemed to like it and the whole time Jake holding my hand, his fingers entwined to my own. "So,Aaron, What do you do for living?" Elise asked When we got to the dessert. "I am finance analyst." i answered. She smiled at me and asked about my job, no one usually wanted to know anything about it since, to be honest, explaining it is boring, but she seemed to be interested.
After dinner we were sitting at the living room couch, me and Jake at the smaller one, and Elise on the bigger one. "I am so glad that you are finally here." she smiled."Jake had talked about you for weeks. I admit, i was interested who had dazzled my boy like that." Elise said and winked to me."Mom!" Jake grunted "I haven't..." he started."Shush, I am telling the truth, you have been the number one in this house."she continued and ignored Jake's glaring. We talked some more and then it was time to leave.
I grabbed my coat and put in on, Jake walked from his room with his backpack and smiled at me."I'll be staying with Aaron tonight, if that's okay to you?" he asked and handed his backpack to me."Yeah, sure." i smiled , grinned, a bit goofy expression on my face. Just the thought of having him over all night was heart warming. Elise smiled to us. "So nice of you to visit Aaron." she said and hugged me shortly. Jake opened the door and we stepped out to the windy night.
I grabbed Jake's hand and we started to walk. "Sooooo..."I grinned. "You've been thinking about me that much?" I asked and glanced at him. He let out a laughter,"Yeah..." he mumbled and I couldn't say for sure because it was dark but he blushed a bit. I laughed and pulled him closer to me. "That's good, because I have been thinking about you too." I smiled and kissed him on the top of his head.
Later on we were on my bed, I was reading and Jake was paging slowly a comic book he had found. Suddenly he shifted and tossed it on the floor. He turned to me."Aaron? There's something I want you to know..."he sighed in a one long breath. I lowered my book and my heart jumped a little."Oh..that doesn't sound good.." i slipped and he chuckled."No, silly. This is good" he smiled and looked at me."I hope" he added. I sighed a bit from relief.
"I know that we have known just for weeks, but I really enjoy being with you. and the way you got along with my mom, you are so sweet and caring, you know.Everyone likes you, me included. And I think I like you a lot. Actually..." He said and shifted himself up a little to reach my ear."I think I love you" he whispered in my ear and backed then back, rolled all the way to rest himself on his heels. his words hit my brains and I looked at him, mouth open a bit, eyes wide. "You do?" I asked."Yeah." he nodded without a sound. I grabbed his hands, pulled him a bit closer. I looked at him,biting his lip a bit insecure look on his eyes. "I love you too." I said firmly and smiled at him.
I pulled him to close to for a kiss and another and another, until he shifted himself besides me, resting his head on my chest.I wrapped my arm around him and kissed his head.This moment was perfect and I didn't need anything else than just to be with him, like this,in love, forever.
