>Jacob's P.O.V.<

Sam fell asleep on my lap while I was reading. I put the book down then laid Sam on the pillow behind me. She was absolutely beautiful to me. I admired her while she was asleep. I leaned over under my night stand and grabbed my notebook. It wasn't just any ordinary notebook. It was the notebook I wrote my thoughts in which I turned into poetry.

Too My Love,

You are my rose.

You have my heart stored away with yours.

For you I shall give you my eternal love.

The day I hurt you will be the day I will never forgive myself.

The day will not bloom will be the day my heart stop beating for you.

As I hold you near I shall say

"I Love You"

I sighed.

Nana: Jacob?

I looked at the door to see my Nana.

Jacob: Yes Nana.

Nana: Come help me with something.

I put my journal on my night stand without thinking to close it. I followed Nana downstairs into the library. The library is my favorite room of the house. Thousands of books here to read and many to live by. Nana look into the book case like she was searching for something.

Nana: Jacob tell me something?

She spoke while still searching.

Jacob: Sure. Anything.

Nana: Is that the girl your heart desires to be with?

Jacob: Of course Nana. Why would you ask a question like that?

She didn't speak. Her eyes steady to the book case.

Nana: Jacob, hear me when I say this. The day you bring one into this world will be the day something must leave.

Her words spoke to me in a way I didn't understand.

Jacob: What does that mean?

Nana: You will find out in time. Just be patient. But remember you never know when the last good-bye is.

I was confused on so many levels.

Nana: You look so much like your father. Handsome and intelligent. Here take this but only open when the time is right.

It was a little black velvet box. Kinda like a ring box. With a bow attached to the top.

Nana: It was your mothers. Your father gave it too her before he left she kept it hidden away for you. Take care of it. It's very special.

Jacob: Then why are you giving it too me.

Nana: Because I see that Samantha is special to you Jacob.

She cuffed my face and kissed my forehead.

Jacob: Thank you Nana.

I gave Nana a hug to thank her and left her to her studies. On my way to my room I thought about everything Nana told me. Why would she give me this? Even now. I walked into the to see that Sam was waking up as I walked in.

Jacob: Hey, baby how'd you sleep?

She rubbed her eyes. I put the box in my pocket so Sam wouldn't see it.

Sam: Great actually. Your bed is so comfortable.

I climbed in the bed next to her and kissed her nose.

Jacob: I know. You can sleep in it whenever my baby is tired.

I tackled her with kisses. Slobbery kisses.

Sam: Quit Jacob.

Jacob: Why don't you want my kisses?

Sam: No the slobbery one.

Jacob: Fine.

I pecked her lips one last time and started getting up.

Sam: Where are you going?

She pulled me back and kissed me like she had been urging for them. I didnt stop myself either.

Bark, Bark.

Sam push me off of her and looked at Beans.

Jacob: Well damn. I guess we got a little carried away.

Sam: Says your dog.

I just laughed at her. She looked at me with her beautiful eyes. I still cant get over the fact that's she's mine. She kissed me one last time and laid back on my bed.

Jacob: Come on.

Sam: Where are we going?

Jacob: To get you home before your friends think I kidnapped you.

She laughed.

Sam: What time is it?

Jacob: Like 11 at night.

Sam: Really? How long was I asleep?

Jacob: I dont know.

Sam didnt say anything. She just slipped on her shoes and I went to get my keys.

Jacob: Ready?

She nodded.

Jacob: Lets go.

~Downstairs~

We walked downstairs and my mom was home. She looked at Sam and I.

Mom: Leaving so soon.

Sam: Yes mam. Jacob said its getting late and he doesn't want my friends to get worried.

She turned to the clock then back at Sam.

Mom: Yeah it is pretty late. But here take some snacks and please return if Jacob doesn't run you off.

Sam: He wont and thank you.

Jacob: What about me?

Mom: Boy your always home for snacks.

That earned a smack to the head.

Sam: Bye Mrs. Perez.

Jacob: See you in a minute mom.

Mom: Bye yall.
