Chapter 41: Chapter 41

His eyes widened, looking shocked that I actually said that. The shock seemed to wear off as he let a small smile touch his lips, "I see what you did there, yet you're calling me the perv."

"Yes, I was only giving you a taste of your own medicine." I said in a teasing tone. "I need to use the bathroom, which door is it?"

"The second door after your room." He replied, gesturing with his chin at the door. I looked over to see the white door before looking back at him.

"Okay, I'll see you at breakfast." I said as I turned around to walk back into my room without waiting for his reply.

As I entered the room, I turned around to close the door as I saw him watching me with a smile. I smiled back before I closed the door and walked to my suitcase to bring out my clothes for that day.

After showering and changing, I walked down the stairs. As I reached the ground gloor, I saw that Jake was eating a sandwich as he watched football on the TV. He didn't seem to notice me, so I walked towards him.

It was when I neared him that he turned his head around. "Hey, baby doll."

"Hey."

He used his free hand to pick up one of the two plates of sandwiches on the center table that I was just noticing and passed it to me. "Here's your breakfast."

"Thanks." I took the plate from him and sat down beside him on the couch, leaving space between us.

I placed the plate on my lap and picked up one of the four sandwiches. Taking it to my mouth, I started nibbling on it as I glanced at Jake to see his concentration on the football match. He was done eating his sandwiches now and was cleaning his hands with tissues from the box of tissues on the center table.

I took larger bites of my sandwiches as I watched him. He was so hot, especially when he was wearing a white top that showed off his muscles and tattos. His dark jeans also matched well. He finished cleaning his hands and placed the used tissues on his empty plate. He turned his head to me with a smirk, "Enjoying the view, baby doll?"

"Yeah, very much."

He chuckled, "I am glad that you are. So let's call Tanner to meet after you're done."

"Okay. By the way, how do you plan on getting back at Stephanie and her crew?" I asked as I picked up my third sandwich and took more bites of it.

"We're going to have the news spread that they're murderers. Shane's already digging up the girls they drugged to death."

"That's so good, they're going to be too scared to show their faces."

He shook his head, "Not them, maybe Abbey, but certainly not Stephanie. They're still going to go to school. Even if everyone knows their dirty secret and hate them, they still have those group of students that worship the ground they walk on."

"So they won't believe that they did it?" I raised one eyebrow in question.

"Nope, they're not going to believe it because in their eyes, the bimbos are too perfect to do any wrong."

"Wow, that's really crazy." I said as I bit off the last bit of sandwich. I placed the plate on the center table next to Jake's then drew some tissues from the tissue box.

"I know, but that's how they are. But still, the other students would hate them and their influence on the student body will reduce."

"And they'll feel really bad that their secret's out." I added with a smirk as I finished cleaning my hands with the tissue and placed it on my empty plate.

Jake smirked too, "Yes, they will and that's what they deserve after what they did to us and those other girls they killed."

"True." I replied as I pulled out my phone from my blue jeans pocket. "I'll call Tanner now."

"Okay." He replied, and watched me as I scrolled through my contacts.

I tapped on Tanner's number as soon as I reached his name then placed the phone against my ear. The phone rang a few times, but he didn't pick up. It finished ringing, but no answer. I called him again, but no answer.

I sighed as I took the phone away from my ear and faced Jake. "He's not answering. Maybe he's with Kane."

"Maybe, so let's leave meeting him for later and I'll call Jane to bring over the guns now."

"Okay, what about your dad?" I asked with furrowed brows in concern.

"He's out of the house, so he won't know, and I'll hide the guns before he returns." He answered with a reassuring smile as he stood up from the couch and picked up both our plates. Without another word, he walked towards a door that was facing the back of the large couch.

I stood up and followed him to where I guessed was the kitchen. Jake had kept the plates on the counter and was now washing his hands at the sink. I walked towards him and he glanced at me, "Here."

He moved aside and I placed my hands under the tap. He moved behind me and placed his arms around me. My stomach filled with butterflies at our close contact and he took my hands in his under the water. He rested his face against my cheek as he caressed my hands under the water in an attempt to help me wash them.

"I can do it myself you know."

"I know, but I want to do it for you." He replied as he took his hands from mine and closed the tap.

"You just want an excuse to touch me." I said teasingly.

He chuckled as he stepped back, "That too."

I turned around and faced him as he leaned back against the counter.
