What the heart wants

59

Jared sighed as he stared at the wall in the living room of his old house.

" Enough with the fucking sighs!" Jacob snapped taking off his glasses.
" I'm trying to work here!"

" It's my house idiot, I can do what I want."

" But I'm living here!" Jacob snapped slamming his hands on the desk.

" You're just mad cause you're lonely."

" Fuck…Jared just sort things out with your wife and leave me and my work alone."

" I can help you with your work." Jared chirped.

" No thank you." Jacob replied.
" Just stick to your architecture and I'll stick to literature."

" It's so hard to believe that you own a  publishing company."

" It's so hard to believe that you found someone who could stand the sight of waking up next to you every morning."

" Real mature Jacob." Jared deadpanned.

" I try."
" Now let me read this manuscript in peace."

" I'm hungry."

" Then make a sandwich or order a pizza!"

" That's not food!"

" Oh I'm sorry! Not all of us are married to a foreign wife who makes delicious African meals."

Jared was about to speak but was interrupted by the door bell.

" You don't think that it is… talk about speak of the devil." He muttered.
" You know what, if she's the one tell her I'm not here."

" No. Jared I am not going to lie to your wife. Sisters before misters."

" You knew me before you even met her!"

" I don't care, I am not lying to her." Jacob stated as he walked out of the office to answer the door.

" Hey Aria."

" Hey Jacob."

" Wanna come in?"

" No, I'm good. Is he…in?"

" Yes." Jacob sighed.

" Does he want to see me?"

" No…I'm sorry Aria-"

" It's fine, I understand. He needs space. I just came to confirm if he was actually here and I brought him some clothes and food for both of you since you can't cook to save your lives."

" Thanks Aria."

" It's nothing. Can you tell him that I love him and that I really miss him?" Aria asked softly staring at the floor.

Jacob wanted to bash his best friend's skull in for making her sad.

" Of course."
" Thank you again for the food."

" It's nothing." Aria replied brushing it off.

" Take care of yourself and of the little one."

" I will."

" P.S, I call dibs on being the godfather."

Aria giggled earning a smile from Jacob.

" I think you're gonna have to fight Zayn on that one."
" Bye Jacob."

" Bye Aria."

" Why are you staring at me like that?" Jared asked with chipmunk cheeks as he ravaged the food Aria had brought.

" You're an idiot."
" Jared she misses you, she loves you. Just go home!"
" I'm not ready!" Jared snapped as soon as he swallowed.

" I'm not ready to have a kid! Jake I'm fucking terrified of children. Please, just let me be."

" Fine." Jacob said raising his hands in mock surrender.
" I just hope that this doesn't cost you something big. I only have one word of advice for you, talk to her."

Jacob picked up a piece of grilled beef and walked out of the kitchen.
