I must have dozed off because when I woke I was in Jake's car with a blanket wrapped around me. Sitting up I turned my head looking out the window. He was just about to pull into his drive.

"Hey baby". Placing his hand on my thigh he squeezed gently.

"Hi". I yawned.

"You okay?". He asked as the car came to a stop.

Was I okay?

"Not really". I whispered.

"Come on let's get you to bed"..

As I unclipped my seatbelt he was already out the car and opening the passenger side door for me. "Did you lift my bag?". I asked taking his hand as I got out.

"Shit". He cursed. "I'll go-....".

Squeezing his hand I shook my head. "I'll get it tomorrow". Feeling the shiver run through my body my teeth started to chitter. The temperature had dropped, the late night air cool.

"Come on". With my hand still in his he led me up to the front door. "First door on the right, you can wear one of my T-shirt's if you want. I'm going to check a few things before I come up". Kissing my fore head he pulled back his eyes locking with mine.

"Thank you for coming back". I whispered.

"I'll always come back babe. You need me I'm there and that goes for anything. Go get sorted, I won't be long".

Finding his room I took a seat on the edge of his bed. I was ready to start something with him. Everything else didn't matter anymore.

I knew deep down I would always have him. He was mine and this time I wasn't letting anyone get inside my head.

Glancing around his room I got to my feet so I could have a nose around. It was simple, neutral walls, big screen TV, a lamp in the corner and not to mention his massive bed.

"You okay?".

"Just tired". Giving him a small smile I felt the butterflies rise in my stomach. I had made the right choice by staying with him tonight. His presence alone was comforting.

"Anything you want to talk about?". He asked walking further into the room.

"Not tonight". I whispered shaking my head. That was a conversation for tomorrow. Right now I wanted to sleep and forget it happened.

"You sure?".

his bed I kicked off my shoes. "I'm sure, can you get me a T-shirt?". I was already pulling his hoodie over my head. Unhooking my bra from under my T-shirt I pulled it down my arms and out
