My Dad's Bestfriend

Chapter 10 : Jealousy

Jacob

This evening was weirder than the previous ones, at least....for me. While everyone seemed to be perfectly enjoying their evening, something felt off.

The coffee tasted increasingly bitter against my tastebuds as I observed Evelyn laughing and chatting with that new guy, sitting a little too close for comfort. My comfort.

There was no denying her breathtaking beauty. Her silky dark hair, enchanting hazel eyes, captivating smile, and radiant complexion held an irresistible allure. Beyond measure. They beckoned to me like forbidden fruit, tempting me to indulge in sinful desires. Oh, how I longed to take her to my room and ravish her!

Damn it, I knew I had to contain my thoughts. But, I just couldn't.

The memory of her lips pressed against mine in the kitchen still haunted my thoughts. Relentlessly

She was driving me to the brink of madness, every movement, every word, every smile and laugh sending shivers down my spine. Even without actively doing anything, she had an uncanny ability to ignite an inferno within me.

I was well aware that I shouldn't be acting like a love-struck teenager at my age.

Yet, my entire being, body, mind, and soul, yearned for her.

The depth of her impact on me was both exhilarating and terrifying.

I could sense her desire for me, an unspoken longing that she yearned to fulfill. She wanted me to have her and denying it won't make it true that I did want her as much as she did.

It was undeniable, but I had to resist. I couldn't allow myself to have her.

The truth was, she existed outside the boundaries I had set for myself. She was considerably younger than me, and to complicate matters further, she was Samuel's daughter. Entertaining such a risk could jeopardize everything I held dear.

My eyes moved to glance at her from afar. The lack of distance between that boy and her really bothered me; In a way, it shouldn't have. Nonetheless, I could not help it.

My fists continued to clench involuntarily, and my grip on the coffee mug handle tightened even further.

Calm down, Jacob. She is not yours.

Hell, I can't calm down!

I closed my eyes, taking a deep breath, but the moment I opened them, they landed on Evelyn once again. This time, a surge of rage coursed through me as I noticed that guy's hand resting possessively around her waist, while he whispered something into her ear, prompting her to giggle.

Her gaze briefly met mine, but she quickly averted her eyes, refocusing her attention on that guy.

Okay! Enough was enough.

What was she trying to do?Allowing that guy to get all close to her....for fuck's sake, she was practically sitting on his lap!

"Hey, mate," Samuel's voice suddenly broke the tension, as he walked into the hall. "What are you doing here? I've been looking for you."

"I went to the kitchen to grab some coffee and heard the loud chatter of Evelyn and her friends, so I decided to check it out," I explained, dismissing the tension with a forced laugh.
