Falling For Innocence - Episode 17

So most of you suggested that they tell each other about their

feelings. So i sat both Sarah and Jake down then gave them your

advice. Lets see if they take the advice and what happens next. Btw

thanks for all your comments guys. Y'all are too much

Jake:

Its been six days since that emotionally draining night and i have

succeeded in keeping away from Sarah. I make sure to wake up early so

that I'll leave for the orphanage before she wakes up and stay out so

late that she'll be fast asleep by the time i get back. The only time

we see each other is at the orphanage and i try to make our encounters

as little as possible. Its heartwrenching to leave a room when she

comes in and i haven't been able to sleep in the last few days.

Working at the orphanage helps to keep me busy during the day. Andrew

is really working my butt off. I now know how to change diapers and

bath little kids. Yay! Who would have imagined? It isn't as bad as i

thought at first because i have developed immense affection for these

kids who deserve to be loved. I remember the first day i had to do it.

Kate was my first victim. She is a few months old baby who Andrew said

was left at the door of the orphanage when she was still covered in

her mother's blood. I almost lost it when she peed on me. Andrew had

laughed it off then gave me some clothes and a diaper before asking me

to give her a bath.

Poor Kate must have been as confused as i was when i almost tied her

up with her diaper. Sarah had come to my rescue and showed me how to

do it right. I have been wondering why Andrew make me do a woman's job

while Sarah is in charge of organizing the upcoming weekend's event. I

think Andrew is out to make me suffer.

I have been trying to keep my mind busy and away from Sarah during

the night by focusing on my music. I am putting my angst and

frustration into composing a song that came to me that night. This is

the only thing keeping me away from her room at night. Oh, and the

fact that i lock myself in my room then pull my bed to block the door.

"92, 93, 94, 96,100" i say then collapse on the bed. My muscle ache

from the continues press ups i have done to wear myself out this

night. I didn't feel like going out this night so am trying to fall

asleep even though its still pretty early. Just few minutes pass

eight.

"okay. Just a hundred more. 1, 2, 11, 15. Damn it! this isn't

working!" i growl frustrated. Maybe a glass of milk will help. Sarah

wasn't downstairs when i came home so i walk out of my room in light

steps then downstairs into the kitchen so i won't wake Sarah. I get a

glass of milk then walk back upstairs. I am almost at my room door

when i hear groaning from the toilet. I walk closer and put my ears to

the door and that's when i hear vomiting.

"Sarah!" I push the door open and find Sarah vomiting into the toilet.

I rush to her and help keep her hair out of the toilet.

"go away" she groan and try to push me away but i dont bulge. I pat her

back rhythmically for a while before the Vomiting stops.

"stop touching me" Sarah say weakly then try to stand. I hold her

shoulder and help her up. She lean on me while clutching her head.

"i said dont touch me" she say weakly but i don't pay her any

attention. I walk her to her room and put her in bed. She clench her

eyes shut then roll to the other end of the bed and turn her back on

me.

"i will be right back" I tell her then run downstairs to get her water.

All that vomiting must have left her dehydrated. It doesn't take me

more than a minute and i am back with the water. I move in front of

Sarah and hand her the water.

"i dont want that" she says then push my hand away. The glass slip off

my hand and smashes on the tiled floor. Sarah let out a loud gasp then

get off the bed quickly to pick up the broken pieces.

"Don't touch them. Let me get a broom" i tell her but she start

collecting the pieces from the floor.

"Stop being stubborn Sarah. Drop those!" i yell at her. I see anger

flash through her eyes.

"Stop behaving like you care! Just get out of my room and keep

ignoring me!" She yell back then continue picking up the shards. My

anger is so close to snapping.

"Stop that Sarah!"

"no!"she yell right back in my face. She couldn't have looked more

beautiful. With her eyes bright with anger and her cheeks flushed. I

can't stop myself. I press my lips to hers and i hear her gasp before

she open them to let my tongue in. I feel like i am on fire. How can

just one kiss overtake all of my senses?

"You think i dont care? The reason i have been avoiding you is because

i care too much. You make me feel too damn much and i can't seem to

stop this torrent of feelings." I say in between kisses.

"Then don't stop" Sarah say into my mouth and it takes everything in me

to pull away from her.

"No. Stop. We can't do this." i re assert

"Why? Didn't you say you feel something for me? Well, i feel something

for you too Jake. I can't get you out of my head. I stay awake every

night and listen for your footsteps as you come home late. That has

been killing me Jake." She sob out and i place my hand on her soft

lips.

"If the circumstance was different, I'll be elated to hear that but

this is different. What about our parents? My mom has been in love

with my good for nothing father who left us for so long. I think she

is happy with your father. How can i destroy that?" i ask and Sarah

shake her head continuously.

"I dont know Jake. All i know is that it hurts. Its suffocating! I

can't anymore of this pain." She says then wrap her hands around my

waist. She sob on my chest as i breathe in the scent of her shampoo.

"sweet pea" I whisper then release a long sigh. Sarah suddenly goes lax

in my arms and i pull her away from her to see her eyes close. Her

breathe is coming out slow and i panick

"Sarah! Sarah! What's going on?" i shake her before she open her eyes.

"Am just tired" she says softly and i breathe a deep sigh of relief.

"Sleep now we'll talk about all this-" i say before the door bell interrupt me.

Who could it be?
