"That's okay, you know, as long as you like me the best. And you think I'm good-looking - sort of. I'm prepared to be annoying persistent. "
"I'm not going to change," I said, and though i tried to keep my voice normal, i could hear the sadness in it.
His face was thoughtful, no longer teasing. " It's still the other one, isn't it? "
I cringed. Funny how he seemed to know not to say the name - just like before in the car with the music. He picked up on so much about me that i never said.
"You don't have to talk about it," he told me.
I nodded, grateful.
"But don't get mad at me for hanging around, okay? " Jacob patted the back of my hand.
"Because I'm not giving up. I've loads of time."
I sighed.
"You shouldn't waste it on me," I said, though i wanted him to. Especially if he was willing to accept me the way i was - damaged goods, as is.
" It's what i want to do, as long as you still like to be with me."
"I can't imagine how i could not like being with you," I told him honestly.
Jacob beamed. "I can live with that"
"Just don't expect more," I warned him.
