His Mission (HIS SERIES Book 1) by SAKINA HUSSAIN (each kindness read aloud TXT) 📗

Jake. This ugly scar proves that," I reply, my eyes filling with sadness. Knowing he would always have some sort of hold on me was terrifying . . . even from deep inside the grave, he still managed to fill me with fear. Jake sighs and looks into my eyes, searching them intently before speaking.

"Whatever happens to us in life builds us into stronger individuals, no matter how painful it is. It adds on to the every layer of personality we already have making us unique from others. Pain makes you stronger Muffin." Jake says gently and I stare back at him, my own eyes filling with complete love for him.

Every word he'd spoken impacted me and I believe him, believe that this can only make me stronger. I'm going to let someone as evil as Jones tear me down, especially since I've survived years of abuse from Trevor.

I reach up, pushing his head down with my hand. The second his lips touched mine, I sigh contently. Butterflies erupt in my stomach which amazingly dulls the aching pain.

"Thank you," I whisper, looking up into his beautiful blue eyes that are drinking me in shamelessly. His eyes travel down my body, approval flashing through them.

"You have goosebumps, do I give you goosebumps?" He breathes against my lips and I nod silently, biting my bottom lip. Jake rests his forearms on the bed, one on either side of my face and his eyes fall to my lips.

I smirk, knowing he loves it when I bite my lip. It takes him a few seconds to pull himself out of the trance he's in and his eyes finally meet mine, looking disappointed.

"You're a tease," he grumbles re-adjusting himself on top of me.

"Jake junior can't handle a tease Muffin."

"Jake junior? Really?" I ask, spluttering with laughter.  Jake appears offended but he masks it over with his usual cocky expression.

"Yes, don't hurt his feelings Muffin. You may live to regret it" he winks and I look back at him, my own eyes twinkling —

"You are crazy, Jake Melvin."

"Baby, you love it."

I nod in response and pull Jake's head towards me once again. Seconds before his lips could meet mine he speaks, his eyes flickering between mine —

"You're so beautiful."

I immediately feel my body tense up at his words.

Those exact words.

Memories of the hospital come flooding back to me and his voice is clear as day now. I sit up and shove at Jake's chest, attempting to get him off me. Tobias' face flashes through my mind and this time I'm completely certain it's him that spoke to me in the hospital. He called me beautiful. The exact words he used, Jake just repeated. "You're so beautiful."

How dare he?

How dare he come to me when I'm in a coma of all times and confess his feelings when I'm his cousins girlfriend.

I feel the anger rise in my body and I shove Jake harder, not that it made any difference.

"Hey what's wrong?" Jake asks, rolling off me himself considering I couldn't even move him an inch. He's definitely been a caveman in a previous life.

"I have something I need to do." I mumble, gritting my teeth together. You're so beautiful.

My jaw tenses and I feel my body start to shake due to how angry I am.'Tobias crossed a line, a major line. I run a hand through my hair and head for the door, barely hearing Jake's protests from behind me.

All I know is that I'm absolutely livid.

And Tobias will be on the receiving end of it.

Chapter Forty Seven - Lies.

I slam the door open and barely flinch as it slams into the wall opposite. Tobias jumps from his bed in alarm but I don't notice the lack of his clothing as I storm up to him, fists clenched in anger. His hand shoots up to rub at his eyes and he appears sleepy, disorientated.

"Emily, what are you doing?" He frowns at me, his eyes widening as he notices the anger burning in my eyes.

"How dare you!" I hiss, stomping towards him. I don't stop until I'm stood in front of him, our faces almost touching.

"How dare you Tobias?!" I yell, shoving him back into the wall. He stumbles a little before standing back on his feet. He towers over me now that he's wide awake but he doesn't intimidate me, not anymore.

"What have I done now?" He asks me, eyebrows raised as he looks down at me. I clench my jaw at his words that are only making me angrier.

"You know exactly what you've done!" I tell him, my hands flying out. He reaches out and grabs hold of both of my wrists, pushing me away from him.

"Shouldn't I be the one mad at you? You threw me out of your room Emily!" He protest whilst I try to wriggle free from his hold. His grip is too strong and no matter how hard I try, I couldn't loosen his hold on my wrists.

"I heard you, you idiot! I heard you!"

Tobias freezes on the spot, his face emotionless as he registers my words. I watch as his face becomes pale, the blood draining.

"You weren't supposed to hear that," he whispers, looking directly in my eyes. I let out a frustrated yell and wrestle against him, trying to free myself once again.

"Well I did! What do you want to happen Tobias? For me to cheat on Jake like Violet did?" I say angrily. Tobias hangs his head in what I hope is shame.

"No, I meant it when I said that was a mistake," he says quietly. I shake my head, unable to make sense of the entire situation. How could he betray Jake like this again?

"So why? Why did you tell me I was beautiful? Why did you tell me you couldn't stop thinking about me? I'm your cousins girlfriend,
