Fallin in love

Thinking

The next morning

I woke up and noticed that Jacob was gone.

I didn't think much of it since he goes to the gym a lot now.

I decided to just get up and drive to the beach alone.
I hadn't had alone time in a long while so this should be nice.

I slid a dark green jacket over my black sports bra I had slept in, along with black activewear shorts.

I slid my brown converses on before grabbing a matching brown hat and throwing it on.

As I grabbed my keys and bag to leave I realized that it was 5 am so I needed to be quiet.

I crept down the stairs, avoiding any and every creek.

Once I finally got out the front door I let out a sigh. I hadn't realized I was holding my breath the whole time until now.

As I walked to my car I saw that Jacobs was still there.

Weird. He must be in the kitchen or something.

I left the house without a worry and headed to the beach.

*jacobs pov*

I walked back into the room to see her gone.

What the fuck?

Immediately I checked the bathroom but she wasn't there.

..

I grabbed my phone from my pocket and called her without thinking twice.

"Hey" she answered, cheerfully.

I sighed from the relief of worry.

"Hi." I responded.

"Where are you?" I asked, sitting on the bed.

"I'm going to the beach for some alone time" she replied.

"..oh" I said without thinking.

"What's wrong?" She asked, noticing the change of tone.

"Nothing, I was just worried" I said, letting myself slump into the bed.

"Worried?" She questioned.

"Well yeah. I mean I leave the room to get a drink and when I come back my girlfriend is gone. Of course I was worried" I said.

She chuckled before I heard what sounded like her engine shutting off.

"I'll let you enjoy your alone time." I said with a small smile.

"I'll see you in a bit" she replied.

"I love you" I stated.

"Okay!" She said cheerfully.

Huh.

"I said I love you!" I said annunciating my words more.
