How To Steal A Heart

Driveway

I don't know what it is, but this guy has always found flirting to be a good way to pass time, and it's often with me! I just glared at him, staring straight into his eyes while he towered over me. 

"What're you doing here?" Julie questioned again but he wasn't answering her, he was just staring right back at me. 

"What're you doing here, Jacob?" I asked. 

He sighed and I tried to step back but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. I huffed while cursing under my breath but standing there. It's just best to listen to him, honestly. Otherwise, he never gives it up. 

"I'm back," he smirked, "The school couldn't keep me there so they requested I pull my name out and I gladly did. After that mom and dad talked to John and Rose," Those are my parents. "And I was told to come here. To live with you guys." 

You're telling me that his parents and my parents decided he's gonna live here with us? Lewis and Elizabeth, his parents, decided to do that? We're all on a first-name basis here. Okay, can he stop staring into my eyes like that? It's kinda creepy. 

"Why don't you move back to our place? You can't live here," Julia huffed. 

"Why not? It's her place, let her decide," he nodded at me. "You've got two spare rooms, Mads. It's a big ass mansion." 

It's an old ass mansion too. It's been here since my great grandparents and we've only renovated it once. It is huge but that's because my entire family used to live here. Parents, grandparents, and my uncle and aunt. Now obviously, they don't. It's in great condition though, all white and polished. I don't like it. Looks too perfect for the chaos that we create inside, doesn't justify it. 

"Which bedroom do you want?" I sighed in defeat. 

"Maddie, what are you doing?!" Julia looked at me, bewildered. 

"He needs to live somewhere, Julia. If our parents said here, then here it is. Which room?" I turned back to him. 

"The one upstairs," he smirked. 

Maybe I shouldn't have given him that choice. There are three bedrooms upstairs. Mine, Nick's and one guest. Julia stays in the one downstairs where the other guestroom is. Of course, he remembers where my room is, he used to barge in there like he owned it. Before boarding school, he lived in his own place by himself which is why I don't understand why he can't do that now but the bottom line is, he can't. And we all are gonna have to deal with it. 

"Now if you will," I sighed, "Can you move your car out of the driveway?" I arched an eyebrow at him while folding my arms across my chest. 

He narrowed his eyes slightly on me, looking me head to toe. "Missed ya," he mumbled before getting in his car. 

I got into mine and backed up so he could too. I parked in my driveway and he drove up, parking his car behind mine. Great, so I can't get out without him either. I should have parked behind him. I got out of the car and slammed my door shut, opened the back door and grabbed all my books. I was about to drop them but he caught them in time. 

"I'll get them," he smirked. I rolled my eyes and locked the car before leading everyone into the house. 

"What about your stuff?" I asked while grabbing a bottle of water before going up to my room with Jacob following. 

"It'll come in tomorrow morning," he replied while placing my book on my desk. 

"Okay," I sighed while placing my car keys on my desk. 

He grabbed my arm and spun me around to face him. "What're you doing?" he asked, his voice low. 

"What am I doing?" I questioned in confusion, my voice softening in front of him. Damnit! Why does it do that? 

"You can't avoid me any more, why are you still trying?" he arched an eyebrow at me. My breathing got a little heavier when he leaned in next to my ear. "You're stuck with me now," he whispered. 

I shoved him back and rolled my eyes. "Get out of here, Jacob," I huffed. 

"Why?" he plopped down on my bed. 

"Or don't, I will," I shrugged before going into Nick's room. I knocked before opening the door and he was sitting there with his girlfriend, Riley. "Hey," I sighed. 

"You met him, huh?" Nick questioned, putting his phone down. 

"He is such a pain in the ass," I groaned. 

"What happened?" Riley questioned. 

"Jacob's back," I huffed. 

"Dallas?" she questioned and I nodded. "Don't tell me he's living here," she sighed. 

"Sorry," I shrugged. "I'm sorry to myself," I shook my head before going downstairs to grab water. I grabbed a bottle from the fridge and closed it to see Jacob leaning beside it, making me jump when he appeared out of nowhere. "What?" I said through gritted teeth. 

"Needed water," he shrugged before taking my bottle and drinking from it. He handed it back to me but I shoved it back to him before going into Julia's room. 

"You're making a huge mistake. He's gonna drive us all crazy," Julia scoffed. 

"You don't think I know that? Parents' orders, Julia. We'll figure it out," I shrugged. 

I mean how long can someone keep their bullshit going? It's not gonna be that bad. He had to have matured a little. 

Right?
