The Robin Hood Society

After the call, Jacob received a text message from J. "Can't make it at dinner. Will be home late."

Jacob smiled at the thought of J making effort to inform him that she can't make it to dinner so as to not make him wait. He replied, "I'll pick you up."

J saw Jacob's reply but wasn't able to reply back when Lily noticed her looking at her phone. "Urgh... does he keep on checking out on you? As if I am going to abduct his beloved wife!"

J gave her a genuine smile. All through the night, they talked mostly about county music, Kane Brown and his brother. The two never had a dull moment. J enjoyed Lily's company. She never had a good time with another person before except for Lance and Diana.

Well, Jacob is an exception. Her moments with Jacob cannot be compared with Lily, Lance or Diana. Thou she didn't know yet how to describe how she feels whenever she is with Jacob, she is certain that it is different from how she feels when she is with Lily, Lance or Diana.

The two of them went out of the hotel. Lily keeps on insisting that she should give her a lift and take her home but J keep refusing.

Jacob who was inside his SUV saw the two walked out of the hotel. He frowned when he saw his wife. Good thing he decided to pick her up. With her looks tonight, he doubts if there is any man who didn't take a second or a third look on her. Some may probably stare at her.

He immediately gets out of his SUV and walked towards them.

Lily was not surprised to see her brother coming their way. "Hmm... as expected."

J confused, looked at the direction that Lily is looking at. There he saw the most gorgeous man he had ever seen walking towards her although she can see the frown on his face. Is he mad? She thought.

"It's late," Jacob said looking at Lily with a cold gaze.

"He-he.. yeah, we know. That's why we are going home now. Good thing that you are here to pick her up. You know... sister-in-law is too gorgeous others might be tempted to steal her." Lily said mockingly then quickly run towards her car.

"Lilybeth Parker!" Jacob clenched his fist in annoyance. The thought of others stealing his wife irks him to the point that he wanted to squash someone.

He turned to look at J. He sighed... damn it! I have to take her away before someone steals her from me. Jacob thought to herself. But the annoyance in his eyes suddenly turned into tenderness. How could he stay mad at a sight like this?

J still looking at the direction where Lily was, then turned to look at Jacob who is now staring at her. Their eyes met.

Jacob sighed. Then he takes J's hand to his and said, "Let's go home." That's the most he wanted to do right now, take his wife away and keep her home in his arms so no one could steal her from him.

J's heart flutters when she felt Jacob's palm in hers. Jacob dragged her away from the hotel and walked towards his SUV. J looked at Jacob's back and a flash of a smile appeared on her face. She is starting to get used to this affection that grows inside of her, thou she tried to warn herself, she can't help but be hopeful.
