章 5: ~Chapter Four~ The Kiss

As I was driving with Kyle and Seth in the back. Jacob was in the front passenger seat. " I honestly don't know if mom will let me go to the field trip." I said as I stopped at a red-light. "Why not?" Jacob asked as Seth leaned in to join the conversation. "Mom is very controllable wherever I or Kyle goes. She has to be there no matter what." I said looking over to Jacob as he smiled. "She's one of those parents." He said smiling looking towards the front. "What do you mean?" I asked. He glanced at me with a smirk. "She is one of the protective strict parents. She needs to know where your at. At all times." He paused. "Uncle Bill is like her. Always worrying about us." Seth says. I Look at the light that hasn't changed. I sigh. "Don't worry. I'll ask her to let you come." I stared at Jacob. "No way! There is no possible way you can ask mom and she will say yes!" Kyle said as he held onto Jacob's head back of the seat. Jacob smirked. "Watch me. Drive towards your house." Jacob ordered grinning at me. I sighed. "It's worth a shot." I shrugged as I drove straight home. Within the few minutes we were home. "Damn! that's a big house!" Jacob said as his eyes widened surprised at the house. "I was sure there was no one living on this hill." Seth said confused. "Mom wanted a place of isolation away from civilization. She didn't want neighbors around her so she decided to work hard and get good money to buy this place." I said as we got out of the car. We headed straight towards the door. I grabbed the keys."Your mom worked hard." Jacob said. I nodded. I inserted the key into the keyhole and turned it as the door proped open. I walked inside and closed the door behind. Mom was in the kitchen looking towards us. "Hey! You didn't say we were having guests over!" Mom said as I went over and kissed her cheek as Kyle followed and did the same.Mom took a step back and looked at Kyle. "Mijo! que te paso en la cara!" Mom asked grabbing his face examining it. "What happend to your face!?" Mom demanded answers."Kyle se fajo mama. Kyle got in a fight." I said looking at mom as she turned to me. "Who was it?" mom asked looking at Kyle. "Already took care of it ma." I said as mom looked at me and then back at Kyle."Did you at least get a few punches in?" Mom asked. Kyle nodded, as she smiled. She then turned to see Jacob and Seth. "Hi Ms. Quintana. I'm Jacob and this is Seth." Jacob said with a bright smile shaking hands with mom. She looked surprised she had a soft smile and greeted the two boys with a hand shake. "It's nice to meet you Seth and Jacob. If I have known you two were coming  I would have put on more suitable clothes." Mom says embarrassed in her pjs. "Non-sense! you look beautiful." Jacob said as mom blushed. "Aw! stop! You boys are too much." Mom says as she walks into the kitchen. "I finished making dinner." Mom said as she grabbed more plates from the cabinet. "You boys hungry?" Mom said as they nodded. "I guess your staying for dinner." I said as I went to help mom grab some forks and knives and some spoons.As I helped her set the table I noticed Jacob would help mom with many things and so did Seth. They would help place the plates of food on the table. When they were finished we all sat down. Mom sat  at the head of the table I sat on her right and Kyle sat on her left. Jacob sat beside me and Seth sat beside Kyle. Everyone grabbed their plate and started to serve themselves. "Help your selves to everything boys and if you want to take some food home I'll pack some for you." Mom said chuckling as the boys smile shyly. "Your too kind Miss M." Seth says chewing some food bits in his mouth smiling. "OH! please call me Maria." Mom says as me and Kyle look at each other worriedly. "So, how did you guys meet?" "We met in front of the school Kyle and Ave seemed lost so we decided to help them out." "That's awfully kind of you." Mom said smiling and Jacob smiled with Seth. "It's really not a problem maria." Jake said with a reassuring voice. "We always look out for the newbies. The sophmores always like to start trouble with the freshmen." Jacob said as he glanced up from eating his food and finishing the plate getting more rounds. He was physically fit and still able to eat with a wolf's appetite. "oh, are there a lot of fights?" Mom asked. "Not a lot since me and the boys have been involved in stopping them." Jacob said as Seth nodded. "Well, that's good." Mom said as she continuously asked about Jacob and Seth's home life. After awhile Jacob began. "We have a field trip tomorrow at school and was wondering if Ave can come. It's a high school tradition." Jacob explained. "What time will you be home?" Mom asked. "It's sorta a 3 month trip vacation." Jacob said as mom looked at him a little confused. "3 months? To go where? How much is this?" Mom asked. "It's gonna be at a ski resort up north. It's called "La Santa Montanilla." Mom looked at Seth like he was crazy. "That ski-resort costs a lot of money and I don't have that much in the bank right now for you to be there 3 months." Mom said as Jacob smiled. "It's free Maria. I promise we'll take good care of Ave. We have a group of my cousins and brothers that will be there." Mom gave it a thought for a few moments. She looked at me and then back at Jacob and Seth. "Fine, I'll let you go but under one condition." I looked at mom. "Call you 24/7." I responded as she nodded. "I've never been there and I wanna know if you got there alright and if you found your room alright and the people your with AT.ALL.TIMES." Mom said as I smiled. "Promise." I said with a smile. After a few more hours Jacob, Seth, Kyle, and I helped wash dishes.Once Seth and Kyle finished their half.They went upstairs to see if they could help with any other chores. I was in the middle of washing dishes when I felt someone behind me. I glanced behind me. "Hey." It was Jake wearing a huge smile. I glanced back at what I was doing as he leaned against the counter facing me. "So, tell me. How did I do?" He asked chuckling. His elbow against the counter. I cracked a smile. I looked at him. "I don't know if you placed a spell over mom or what but you actually managed to gain her trust." He smiled a me with a big mischievous grin. "So, this means you owe me." Jake said with a side smile. I laughed. "Oh yeah? and what would that be?" I jokingly said as I stared at him as he leaned closer. "I don't know yet. But I'll think of something..." Our faces inches away while he smiled. I could tell he was looking at my lips. His facial expression turned frustrated, with his narrowed eyes staring at me.  I don't know what it was about  his eyes but I knew what he was thinking. should I kiss her now? or should I wait? He tried to process his thoughts as he slowly leaned closer he finally came into a conclusion.Our faces barely touched as I felt his hand creep up and cup my cheek. "Jake..." I softly said as he leaned in closer. I looked into his eyes as he did with mine. He leaned in and softly placed his lips upon mine. I closed my eyes and slowly relaxed into the kiss. I slowly placed my wet hands from washing the dishes and touched his hand. I felt the breathe being sucked out of me. I felt the pit of my stomach swim with butterflies in a matter of seconds. I've never felt this way before.. His warm embrace...I felt the warmth of his muscles as he pulled me closer to his body. In a strange way I felt safe in his arms. His free arm wrapped around my waist making sure I was close to him. As we made out I could feel his lips slowly leave mine. I could see it in his face that he was  trying to figure out if he wanted to kiss me again or not. We stared into each others eyes. His eyes narrowed as he moved his hand from my jawline to my chin. "Jake..." I said breathlessly as he looked at me and caressed my cheek. I saw him crack a smile. "I bet no one's kissed you like before. huh?" He said as he stroked my cheek slowly looking at me. "No one's kissed me period up til now..." I said as his smile grew as he chuckled. "Good, then that means your mine." Jake said with a wide grin. I rolled my eyes with a side smile in disbelief. "Just cause you kissed me doesn't mean I'm yours...Yet." I said with a pause and continued on while I turned back to sink and finished rinsing the dishes."Then what do I have to do to make you mine?" Jacob asked with a serious voice tone and a wide smile.I stared at him. He had now moved beside me to my right. " Get to know me. And let me get to know you." I said placing the last few plates on the drying rack and dried my hands off. I then went into the living room. I heard foot steps coming down the stairs. I looked back and saw Seth and Kyle coming down the steps. "It's time to get going Jake. We gotta pack." Seth said as Jacob nodded. "I'll give you two a ride back." I said as I grabbed the keys. Jacob and Seth said goodbye to Mom and Kyle as we left to get in the car. Once I started the engine and everyone had their seat belts on I drove off. Jacob told me the directions and I followed. We turned and swerved through many brown dirt roads followed by trees. Once we were there I saw a brown native architecture house. It was 2 stories with their own little garage that held two cars. They had about 3 more outside the house.
