I glanced up to see his jaw clench. "I'm not Jake. I promise. I won't do anything you don't want me to. I swear."

"I know that, and I never thanked you for that—so thank you for sticking up for me when I never did, but I'm just…scared, ya know?" I asked.

He smiled arrogantly. "Because I am!" he said surely.

"Sure, you keep thinkin' that." I said, laying my head on his chest.

"I will, thank you very much." He said, leaning over and getting a remote from his bedside table. He pressed play and it began showing a girl at a wedding. I frowned at it. I wish I could have a wedding. I sighed, closing my eyes and breathing in his musky scent. He smelled wonderful; of forests, and dead leaves. Most of all, he smelled of country.
