CH: 52 WON'T LET YOU FALL

I fluttered my eyes, due to the rumbling noise around me, it took me a few seconds to adjust my view according to my surroundings, I moved my hand swiftly around the bed to check any hint of a body around me, but then I realized Mihee wasn't around me and neither was Jacob. I yawned before I lifted the blanket from above me and made my way towards the direction of sound.

I was still a bit drowsy and exhausted because of the day tour we had, I smiled when Jacob and Mihee finally came into my view, but before I could join them, the conversation I had with Jacob before I slept, struck in my head, "Was he serious about that?" I said to myself but swayed it off when I heard Mihee calling me.

"Come here uncle, we made veggie rolls for you," Mihee said while a grin painted her lips, bouncing up and down on one of the dining stools.

I returned the same energetic smile before making my way towards her, and as soon as I reached near her figure I placed a light peck on her forehead saying a good evening as it was already7pm. She repeated my action by kissing me on the cheek, which melted my heart; I could see Jacob smiling from the rim of my eyes.

"Good evening uncle." She responded back and then I went to Jacob and kissed his cheek, causing his now kissed cheeks go red as he said, "Hey! Don't do that."

"And why would I not kiss my boyfriend?" I said, but Jacob just scoffed and went to his seat while I stood there for a while trying to process what was occurring. And after I processed my brain I sat near Jacob while Mihee sat in front of us as Jacob wrapped a belt around her after taking it out from her small bag, so that she don't trip off from the stool.

"Let's dig in," Mihee roared knocking her fork again and again on the table earning a giggle from me and Jacob.

We started eating our dinner; I inhaled the scent of freshly cooked food, which made my mouth water as its smell was enough for me to make me crave for it. I dig my fork in it to take my first bite, but as it was about to enter in my watering mouth, I felt a sudden sensation in my body, because of the hand which was now placed on my inner thigh.

I jolted my head in the direction of Jacob who was the one doing this, he was still eating his food from the another hand as if everything as normal while a smirk was getting over his feature, meanwhile my body started tensing as I felt his hand stroke against my inner thigh, it was getting hard for me to maintain my composure with every passing second.

His hand was probably doing the work he was purposing in his mind because I could feel his hand travel more smoothly as it made its way a little closer to something where it shouldn't be, I hitched on my breath when his hand finally landed there, and my fork fell from my hand as I tried not to make any squeal or any sound which would make things uncomfortable for Mihee, but I think it didn't worked as I heard Mihee spoke, "are you, okay uncle?"

"Y... yes... I... I am... mm... okay!" I managed my words as I squeezed my legs together in an attempt to remove his hand, but it didn't work and he again gave me a gentle stroke on my clothed area, making me feel an arousal down there, that was quite easily visible now and made my pants tighten. He once again stroked the same area as he smirked, feeling the now grown bulge under my pants, "Uhm... JA... Jacob... please..." I spoke, trying not to make those moans which were forced out of my mouth.

"What happened Massy?" he spoke as innocence filled his eyes, a devil's innocence and now his hand clutched my bulge making me squeal. "Ah..." I finally released a muffled moan, as I threw my head back. The teasing was already taking a hold on my mind.

"He wasn't joking when he said that." I thought in my head, feeling that pleasure taking over my body and brain.

His pace of stroking was increasing with every passing second as it did its work on me getting a bit rough, and it was getting hard for me with every passing second to stop my mouth from making any sound. I knew it was quite awkward doing this in front of a 5-year-old, but I wouldn't lie by saying that I wasn't enjoying it.

His hand was doing its work perfectly and I could feel the knot in my stomach opening, "I'm close." I whispered, but his hand stopped at a halt, as he placed it above the table. I looked at him giving him a surprised yet questionable look.

"Why?" I whined as he continued eating his food.

"What Massy, you should eat your dinner its getting cold." He said as he chuckled.

"Yes, uncle you haven't eaten anything yet." Mihee pronounced looking at my plate which was still the same rather than a half-eaten bite placed there. I frowned as I took the fork in my hand, trying to suppress the still grown arousal and the disappointment, I never had any personal body contact with him, but it went like I wasn't ready for it. But now I had it, I was craving for his touch, I wanted it to never end, and it was a satisfying and crazy feeling.

I started munching on my roll feeling a bit uncomfortable because of the unwanted and unexpected boner sitting under my sweat pants, my whole body was going hot and beads of sweat were forming on my forehead, I finally stood up from my seat quickly running inside the washroom to fix the bulge as I heard Jacob laughing while Mihee asked for the reason why I ran away. Before I could hear the answer the sounds already turned muffled as I reached to the washroom.

15 MINUTES LATER~

I came out of the washroom and peeked at the table just to see Mihee and Jacob laughing and playing while my plate still lay there with my half-eaten roll, I dragged my feet towards the table to continue my cold food, I glared at Jacob when he passed me a smile to me as if he didn't know what he did.

Mihee was still laughing as Jacob tickled her stomach while she asked him not to do that, I ate my food silently enjoying the scene of them playing, and after I finished, I picked up the plate and went to wash it when I heard our doorbell, as Jacob and Mihee were still playing I decided to check who it was. I opened the door to see Mihee's mother standing there with a smile along her face, "Hello son! I am here to pick up Mihee." I nodded my head before I called her inside and then went to inform Mihee's mother's arrival.

After a chat of few minutes and thanking us Mihee's mother went away, taking Mihee with her, it was a quite pleasant experience for me having a little kid around me to take care of. Even though Jacob was the one who was beside Mihee all the time, but still I had few, moments with her too which made me smile.

I walked inside the house as I closed the front door behind me, as I reached towards my room I saw Jacob was sitting still on the bed, I remembered the event which took place half an hour ago, I went near Jacob to scold him but I was taken aback when I saw his blank face and a few hints of tears forming in his eyes. I didn't waste any time and pulled Jacob in my embrace as I asked, "what happened Jac, are you okay?"

He shook his head indicating that he wasn't okay, as I asked further, "tell me what is bothering you."

"It's just that after having Mihee here I do felt like a happy family, like a one I ever desired to have. But unfortunately, I never had one, even though I had a person who was called a dad but he never acted like one, rather than that he just toyed me and forced me in the dark to cry there and to stay there." He said as he sobbed a bit in my arms hugging me back tightly.

"It was so dark there Mason, I never thought that I would get out of there but here I am enjoying the bright time with you, having a person to love, to be loved. That was such a shady time for me. Mason thank you. Thank you so much. But I am still afraid that I will lose it all, I don't know what to do, and I don't think I can lose my loved ones any more Mason, now that I saw what brightness is I am afraid to go in that dark again." He continued as his tears stained my tee-shirt making it wet.

"Don't cry Jacob, no matter what happens, you should believe me because I promise with my death that I won't let you fall in that darkness of loneliness, sadness, and angst ever again," I said as my hand caressed his back pleading him to calm down.

We stayed quiet for a while before Jacob parted from the hug, and said, "I love you, Mason."

"I love you too Jacob, more than anything I could and will always do that," I said as I leaned towards him to capture his lips in mine, perfectly molding him in my arms to show my love through a kiss if it was possible. My hands still draped around his waist keeping him in my embrace, giving him a hint of the warmth he wanted.

And it was the moment when I realized that, everyone survives in different conditions, having different pains. Some fights against it but some don't. But if one helps the person to do, it can change their world, as I changed Jacob's and as he changed mine by showing me things which I never knew existed in the same world with me and around me. He didn't only change my mindset but made me open up, he opened up the bottled up emotions and feeling which were embedded inside me for past years, eating me from inside but I was too coward to let them out.

He made me realize that mental pain is way worse than a physical one and when it overloads it leaves you with the option of letting it out with your tears. Tears which doesn't only show weakness but sometimes, a need of warmth, a sting in the heart, and sometimes happiness too. And now that I learned all this from him, and opened up myself there was no way I was going to let go him any time soon, I was going to cherish him, embrace him, and love him till the eternity.

"I LOVE YOU JACOB," I whispered one last time in my head before we both drifted to sleep.
