I'm Yours (Bold As Love) Read Online Free

the road, we head to Wilmington. I’ve got one hand on the steering wheel and my other arm resting on the compartment between the seats. Jake reaches over and takes my hand in his giving it a kiss before he rests it in his lap.
    “ How was your weekend at Tommy’s, Drake,” I ask referring to his friend. Drake jumps in to say that they went to the movies to watch some kid movie that just came out, played outside, played video games, and a few other things. “Sounds fun,” I say when he is finally finished. Jake finds a station on the radio and turns the music up some. He leans his head back on the headrest and closes his eyes.
    I bite my lip, wondering if everything is okay. I keep quiet until we reach Mayfaire and I park. We get out and make our way to the cinema. Jake holds one hand and Drake holds my other. “Everything okay,” I ask bumping shoulders with him once we are in line. He looks down at me and smiles, but it’s not a real smile. “Of course.” He leans down and gives me a quick kiss.
    “ What are we watching,” I ask to keep conversation going.
    “ Drake wants to see Rango.” We get closer in line and worry churns my stomach. Everything wasn’t okay; I could tell by the fake smile and how he was on the way here. Why would he lie? I try to shrug it off as he buys our tickets.
    We go inside and stop for popcorn and drinks. We head to the left down the wide hallway covered with drink machines and arcade games to theater three. We sit in the middle and wait for the previews to start. I’m sitting in the middle with a brother on each side. I look to my right to look at Jake. His jet black hair is a bit longer and the ends curl up just a bit.
    He catches me looking and leans over to give me a kiss. “What’s the matter,” he asks.
    “ Nothing. Just appreciating your good looks,” I say with a smile.
    “ Mmm. How about you show me your appreciation later?” he says with another kiss.
    “ I’ll think about it,” I smirk. The previews come on and the lights dim. We eat all the popcorn and drink all of our sodas by the end of the movie. It was pretty funny and Drake enjoyed it. “Now what?” I ask when we are back outside.
    “ We are going to spoil ourselves and eat ice cream as a late lunch,” Jake says checking at his watch.
    “ There’s a Cold Stone by the road,” I tell him remembering the first time I took him there on our first date.
    “ We have to go there,” Drake says with excitement.
    “ Well, let’s go.” We walk across one of the roads and down the strip to the end where Cold Stone’s was waiting for us. I never eat a full ice cream from this place so me and Jake shared the birthday mix ice cream and Drake ordered a chocolate ice cream with sprinkles in a small waffle bowl. All the tables with three seats where taken. There were just tables with two seats left. Jake leads us to one.
    He sits down, sets our ice cream on the table, and pulls me into his lap while Drake takes the other seat. We leisurely eat our ice cream with Jake kissing all over my face claiming I was a sloppy eater. I couldn’t help but laugh each time. I go to take a bite of the waffle bowl when I feel Jake tense beneath me.
    I look at him and then follow his gaze to the person who just walked in the creamery. Conrad. With the sun shining in the windows behind him, he locks eyes with me giving a small smile, and it was if everything slipped away. A memory of a day we spent at the beach blasted forward. I was laying out and Conrad was towering over me with the sun shining down behind him.
    He was dripping wet and gleamed a smile at me. “Are you going to get in the water or not,” he asked me.
    “ I will…eventually.”
    “ How about now,” he asked, leaning down to pick me up by the waist and carry me over his shoulder to the water. I laughed the whole way there and tried to get him to set me down. He wouldn’t, of course.
    When he was about waist deep, he threw us both down into the water.
