Chapter 72: Chapter 72

I raised a brow in surprise as I asked, "You can cook?"

"Yeah." Jake answered, looking proud and that made him look hotter. Nothing much was hotter than a confident man.

"Yet you were surprised that I could cook?"

"Yes, shockingly." He replied as he stood up from the couch.

I stood up too and said, "I'm gonna go now while you whip us something to eat, dear mate."

He chuckled as I started towards the stairs. I started up the steps and made my way up to the top floor to my room to get ready for the day.

After I was done showering and getting ready, I walked into the dining room to find two plates of toasted bread with eggs on the dining table and hot chocolate in a mug beside it. Jake was sitting at the table and was scrolling through his phone with one of the plate of food in front of him.

He looked up when he heard me come in. His lips quirked up in a small smile, "Hey."

"Hey, you." I replied as I smiled back at him while walking to the seat beside him where the other plate was laid on the table.

He stretched out his arm and pulled out the chair for me when he realized that I was approaching it. I sat down, giving him a grateful smile, and he said, "I would like to know what you think about my cooking."

"I would like to know too." I said as I turned to my plate.

Picking the toasted bread with both hands, I took a bite. It tasted good, but it was only bread. I used my right hand to pick up my fork and I used it to take a piece of the eggs. As soon as I placed it in my mouth, I was blown away. I didn't know when I moaned in delight of eating something so alive with spices and tasted so good.

I felt Jake's hot gaze on me and I looked at him to see him staring at me with a heated look of want. "So?"

I stretched my lips in a grin, "It tastes so good, even better than my cooking. I love it!"

He chuckled in his deep voice as he also picked up his fork to start eating his eggs, "I'm glad that you like it."

"What else can you make?" I asked as I placed more eggs in my mouth.

"Almost everything, but I'm not good with snacks, and I do make a mean spaghetti and meat balls, so it has to be the best."

"Then you have to make it for me, I'm sure that I'll enjoy it even more than this." I said as I picked up the mug of hot chocolate. I sipped it and it was even better than the eggs.

"Of course, I'll definitely make it for you later tonight." He grinned as he watched me eat while eating his own toast and eggs. It was obvious that he liked how I was enjoying his cooking.

I let out a chuckle in excitement, "Thanks, babe."

"Yeah, so eat up before we get late to class." He said as he glanced at the wrist watch on his wrist.

I raised both brows in question as I asked, "Since when did you care about going to school on time?"

"Since I learnt that you need to be a good student to prove to your dad that you're changing."

I wasn't surprised that the reason he wanted to go to school on time was me because he was Jake and he always thought of me first. Another reason for me to love him more. I nodded, still grinning as I finished the last piece of toast. I stood up from the table and Jake stood up with me as well.

Looking at his plate, I realized that he has also finished eating. Before I could pick up my plate, he picked it up with his then placed them together and picked up our mugs with his other hand. He started towards the kitchen, and I quickly followed after him since I needed to wash my hands.

As we entered the kitchen, Jake placed our used plates and mugs on the counter then walked to the sink. He opened the faucet and water sprayed from it. He started washing his hands under it. I also walked to the sink and placed my hands under the water.

He glanced at me and took my hands in his then caressed them under the water to wash them clean. When he released my hands, I cupped some of the water and splashed it on it him. It hit his face, and he smirked, "Two can play at this game, baby doll."

Before I could reply, he has splashed water on my face too. I laughed as I splashed him back. He switched off the faucet and picked me up bridal style as I laughed, "No need to get wet when we're about to go to school."

"Wet you say?" I smirked as I looked up at him, still in his arms.

He shook his head with a laugh, "I can't believe I'm the one saying this, but get your mind out of the gutter, baby doll."

I laughed, and he did too. Our gaze connected, and I felt pulled to him as butterflies fluttered in my stomach. Our faces kept moving closer and our lips almost touched when I remembered our commitment last night. I shook my head as I brought up my index finger and pressed it against his lips, "Remember that we have to keep our distance until at least your dad comes back."

He raised one brow that always made him look hotter and said with my finger still pressed against his lips, "Really, baby doll? It's only a kiss and not a make out session."

My gaze was on his lips as I tried to protest, "I know, but we don't know where it might lead us."

He let out a sigh, "Fine."

He puckered up his lips and pressed a kiss on my index finger. I felt a delightful shiver run through me and I had a stronger urge to kiss him. Oh, he was such a tease. I took my finger back and smashed my lips against his. I wrapped my hands around his neck and my legs around his waist so that I would be straddling him as we stand.

He gripped my hips and moved us to the nearest wall as he kissed me deeper. My back hit the wall gently and his hands roamed my sides and thighs as his lips were on mine. Our little kiss turned into a full out make out session and I could feel every inch of him against me. He wanted me, alright, but I could tell that he was holding back.

I didn't know when my hands roamed under his shirt to feel his rock hard abs until I heard his breathing become deeper. I pulled back from the kiss and rested my head on the wall as we stared at each other. We were both out of breath as our chests rose and fell quickly.

His heated eyes were now a dark hazel of his wolf touching the surface and their want for me and my wolf. His voice was husky as he said, "Now, that is the best kiss that I've ever had."

I felt my lips widen into a smile since I knew that our make outs have never been as heated as this one. I was also happy that his kiss with me was the best when he has been with many girls before. "Mine too."

I glanced at his hands gripping my thighs and his hips against mine as he held me up against the wall. "Let's go to school, but I think you need a cold shower to cool down."

His heated eyes moved to my lips as I talked before looking back to my eyes. "I can cool myself down, baby doll. I have enough self control."

Stephanie's POV

I closed my locker and glanced at Abbey as she read a white card that she had picked up from her locker that was next to mine. As she did, she grinned. Why was she so happy? Was it a love letter? I stretched out my hand and plucked the card from her hands.

"Hey!" She protested as she turned around to see who the culprit was. When she saw me, she shut up. Good, she better not go against me because I was her everything. She was lucky that I let her in our clique.

I glanced at Poppy closing her own locker and Cindy standing beside me. I smirked as I said to them, "Let's see who wrote Abbey a love letter."

Cindy smirked too, she wasn't high this morning and I liked her better that way since she was more like me. Poppy clapped her hands excitedly as she exclaimed, "Yay!"
