Love Story
Chapter 3
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said…
Jacob stared into Edward’s eyes as they danced in the middle of the other pairs. He was aware of the eyes that followed their movements, as he was sure Edward was as well… but at this moment he couldn’t bring himself to care. Edward’s hand felt so warm against his own.
“So you are Edward Swift,” Jacob stated. Edward grinned.
“So everyone keeps telling me.” Jacob laughed softly. “I find it hard to believe that I have never met you before.”
“I spend a lot of time in the country,” Jacob explained. Edward nodded in understanding. The dance ended, much too soon in their opinion, and Edward escorted him off to the side of the room. Jacob glanced down at the floor and then looked back up at Edward. “Why is it I feel like I’ve known you before now?”
“I was wondering the same thing.” Edward raised a hand to stroke Jacob’s cheek when he glanced behind Jacob and dropped his hand to his side. Jacob blinked wide eyes and was about to ask why he had stopped when a familiar hand rested on his shoulder.
“Good evening boys, Jacob, I see you have met Swift’s eldest son,” Billy said. Neither of them missed the slight growl in his voice at the name.
“Yes father, Edward and I were just talking,” Jacob answered being sure to stress Edward’s name. His hatred for the Swift’s had faded the moment he met Edward’s eyes.
“More than just talking as I see it,” Billy stated. “Edward, I believe it is time that you leave.”
“But father!” Jacob protested.
“Goodnight Edward.”
Edward heard the threat in the elder Black’s voice and knew he should take his leave. Edward placed his hand behind his back and bowed to the owner of the manor. “Goodnight Sir.” Edward then met Jacob’s pained eyes, he didn’t want this evening to end yet either but he wasn’t going to be thrown off the grounds. Reaching out he took Jacob’s hand and let his lips brush against the tanned knuckles. “Goodnight Jacob, we will see each other again,” he promised. Standing straight Edward turned and left the room.
“Jacob go to your room,” Billy stated. Jacob turned to look at his father.
“But father… the guests are still here…”
“And they may stay but you are going to excuse yourself to your room. I will not have you becoming involved any more with that Swift, is that understood?”
“But father…”
“If you defy my word one more time…” Jacob swallowed and cast his eyes to floor.
“Yes father.” Jacob sighed and headed for the stairs. On the way to the stairs he avoided numerous questions, offers for dances and said a brief goodnight to Leah.
Once in his room again Jacob changed into something more comfortable and paced. He wanted to see Edward, wanted to dance with him, wanted to let Edward finish what he had started before his father had interrupted. Jacob sighed and doused the light and settled into his bed. Laying there he stared at the ceiling for hours thinking about Edward and how he had captured his heart… that was what he had done right?
“Blast you Swift! If I find you on my grounds again I’ll have your head! Stay away from my son!” Billy Black screamed.
Jacob jerked awake, not sure when he had fallen asleep, at the sound of his father’s voice. He could no longer hear the muffed music in the ballroom below so the party must have ended. Throwing the covers back Jacob went to his window and saw the guards running into the darkness, his father was standing on his balcony scowling. Jacob opened the door to his own balcony and stepped out onto it.
“What’s going on father?” Jacob questioned covering up a yawn.
“Just go back to sleep Jacob, it’s nothing for you to concern yourself with,” Billy replied. Jacob sighed and turned to go back into his room when he heard footsteps. He stepped back into his room so his father couldn’t see him and listened. “Well?!”
“Sir, we didn’t find any sign of Edward Swift on the property. We believe that discovering that the room he was throwing pebbles at was yours scared him enough to flee,” one of the guards informed him.
“Alright, keep increased patrols on the perimeter of the property and if he is found I want him held until I can deal with him, understood?”
“Yes sir!”
Jacob listened to the guard’s footsteps fade before he allowed himself to smile. Edward had been throwing pebbles at his father’s window thinking it was his own. After his father’s balcony door had closed he closed his own and headed downstairs, he was much to excited to go back to sleep now. Going to the kitchen he found an extra lantern and lit it before heading back upstairs to go out to the garden. Jacob froze when he heard footsteps, thinking quickly he ducked into a small closet and placed the lantern behind his feet so the glow would not escape under the crack in the door.
“My lord? Do you need something?” A servant, there always seemed to be one around when you needed one, asked.
“I need to make arrangements for in the morning. Should that Edward Shift be found I want to make sure my whip is ready. I will show him what he gets for trying to trick my son. On the other hand, if he is not found I want Jacob’s things ready to leave for the country house at first light.”
“Yes my lord, it will be done.”
“See that it is.”
Jacob waited until the footsteps had faded once again before peeking his head out into the hallway. The hallway was quiet and dark letting Jacob set out a sigh of relief. Picking up the lantern Jacob quickly made his way outside and to the garden. Near the middle of the garden there was a large fountain, stairs led up to its edge. Jacob set the lantern down on one of the steps before collapsing to it himself. The tears he had felt prickle at his father’s words now trickled down from his eyes. If Edward were caught…his father would whip him until his throat was raw from his screams. All because of a dance! It wasn’t fair!
“Please find a way back to me Edward…” Jacob whispered. The crunch of gravel under foot made him lift his head quickly. His tear filled eyes widened when he saw Edward standing before him.
“Jacob…” Edward murmured coming to kneel beside him. Raising his hand he brushed Jacob’s tears away with his thumbs.
“Edward…” Jacob threw his arms around Edward’s neck and pulled him close. If he could protect Edward from what his father would do if he caught Edward… he would gladly do it.
