"It was true, don't deny it. I just haven't mentioned it before." Sara had a small scowl on her face and acted as if she showed no mercy.
"Okay, okay! I was wrong. I'm going to see what Winnie is doing." Jacob stood up and made his way towards the kitchen. His gaze travelled around as he walked, and that was when he noticed that there seemed to be no movement coming from inside the kitchen.
In the meantime, Sara started playing with Dora. A soft chuckle escaped her lips as the cute dog barked happily at her. Animals lived a simpler life compared to humans, which was why it was much easier for them to stay happy.
As she thought of this, her eyes were filled with nostalgia. She and Jacob had gone through a lot of ups and downs but the house was still the same and so familiar to her. Now that they were both relatively mature enough, they naturally had to pay the corresponding price.
Right now, Sara looked more elegant. The passing of time had done well for her.
When Jacob walked into the kitchen, his eyes darted towards the neatly arranged table. All the tableware were safely stashed away inside their respective containers and Winnie was nowhere to be seen.
Jacob strolled inside the place and turned his head around, looking for signs of someone present. The silence was deafening, and Winnie definitely was not there.
He turned his head once again and looked back at the living room. When he saw Dora placing her paw on Sara's hand, an unexpected laughter escaped him.
"What's wrong? Why are you laughing?" Sara asked. She raised her eyebrows and did a mini jolt upon hearing Jacob. As his laughter died down to a chuckle, he slowly approached them.
"It's okay. Winnie isn't here. It looks like you and Dora are having lots of fun over here," Jacob replied. He smiled softly before sitting next to her and placing his arm around her shoulder.
Sara raised her eyebrows and smirked at him. It was funny that Jacob would follow her closely wherever she went.
"Can't you live without me now?" Still wearing the smirk on her face, she slightly moved aside.
"Why? Don't you like me?" Jacob furrowed his brows, his expression turning more serious.
Sara shook her head. "I didn't mean it that way." She pouted her lips, acting like as if she was apologizing.
"Well, that escalated quickly." The man rolled his eyes and sat up straighter.
"Forget it. I don't think that you are serious enough." She deliberately moved aside this time and gave him a disgusted look.
"What did you say?" Jacob raised an eyebrow as he inched closer to her.
"Well, well. When Winnie sees you behaving like this, what will she think of you?" Sara curled up her lips into a sweet smile as she tried to hold back Jacob's approaching body.
"It doesn't matter. Like you said, I'm not decent enough." The corner of his lips formed a smirk and she thought that he looked attractive.
Seeing him like that, she couldn't help but burst into a fit of laughter. Jacob was acting like a child at the moment.
Her laughter had momentarily stunned him, he paused and looked at her for a moment before laughing along as well.
"Didn't you use to say that you wouldn't show your teeth when you smile? You've sure changed a lot. Why on earth are you laughing all of a sudden?" He was caught off guard by Sara's sudden change in her personality that he could feel his face turning red in embarrassment.
"What? You've changed as well, so why can't I?" The tip of her finger gently landed on Jacob's nose as Sara tried to push him away.
"If you push me like this, I will be giving you some punishment later." He raised his eyebrows and looked at her provocatively.
"Punishment? What are you talking about? Let me tell you..." Before Sara could even finish her words, she was interrupted by Jacob's violent kiss.
Her eyes widened as she felt his lips crashing hard into hers. As they sat on the sofa in the living room, Jacob became more and more shameless.
The weird thing was that Sara didn't seem to want to stop him at all. In fact, she was beginning to enjoy the kiss.
Jacob could feel her lips curling up into a smile as he continued to kiss her. Little by little, she finally started to close her eyes and savor the moment.
