Subject: the truth about iceland, chapter five.

I woke up and looked over at my alarm clock. It was 11:00am. I tried to get
up, but Jakob had put his arms around me while I was asleep and couldn't
move. He was still asleep, but smiling. He was so gorgeous.

"Hey loser, wake up." I nudged his biceps playfully. As he stretched this
arms and legs, that godly masculine scent filled the vicinity again. He
lifted me into his arms and jumped up.

"We should get ready." He said eagerly. He was like the freaking energizer
bunny.

"It might help if you put me down." I said, not really wanting to leave his
arms.

"Nah, I don't think so." He said cockily.

"Hm, I don't have any clothes to wear, but I really need to shower..." he
said.

"Oh, you can use some of mine." I said. He walked over to my closet and
opened it.

"These clothes are wery little." He said.

"No, you're just too big." I joked. He was now holding me with one hand,
searching through my clothes with the other. He found a pair of shorts that
barely fit, and a light pink Abercrombie shirt. I could only imagine how
tight it would be on him.

"Nice choice." I said, still being supported by his unbelievably strong
arm.

"You won't be saying that later." He said bitterly. He took a towel out of
the laundry bin and said, "I won't be long." He let me down on my bed and
winked at me before closing my bathroom door behind him.

While he was in the shower, I tried to decide what to wear. I decided on
one of my favorite pairs of jeans, which were dark blue with tiny cuts and
tears everywhere; surely enough to make Jakob looks twice. As for the
shirt, I chose basically the same shirt as Jakob, but a dark green one,
which I believed brought out my same colored eyes. I jumped suddenly and
turned around as Jakob came out of the bathroom, wearing nothing but a
towel around his waist, still somewhat wet.

"Wow." Is all I could say. His light blonde hair was drenched, his muscles
glistening from the water. His thick chest and leg hair was damp as well.

"I think it's more beneficial if I let myself dry naturally before getting
dressed." He said sexily.

"I-i have no problem with that." I stuttered at his beauty.

"How cute." He said, grinning.

"I should shower now."

"Wait, wait." He said, pushing me back down onto the bed. "You should wait
for the water to heat up." He said, grinning.

"I like where this is going..." I said ecstatically.

"Good, 'cause so do I." he bent down and put his lips to mine. We must've
played tongue tag for about twenty minutes, because Lilja called.

"Hello?" I answered my cell phone, reluctantly.

"Hey Nathan. I tried to call Jakob but he didn't answer his phone. Is he
with you?" her heavenly voice spoke.

"Yeah, he's right here. Wait a second." I gave the phone to Jakob, who
began to speak to Lilja in fluent Icelandic.

"I'll just shower." I said to Jakob, and walked into the bathroom. If I
thought the way he spoke English was hot, then that was nothing compared to
the way he made Icelandic sound. I nearly melted right there.

I was careful to wash my hair thoroughly with shampoo and conditioner, and
to clean my body twice with soap. I decided to do a quick shave down on
everything as well, so that when I got out, my skin was perfectly smooth.

"Here goes nothing." I said to myself. I got dressed and walked back into
my room.

"Damn." He said, whistling. He had gotten dressed, and the shirt was so
tight that his abs showed through it, so I was mirroring his thoughts.

"You look hot." We said at the same time, to which we replied by giggling
uncontrollably until Jakob said, "Oh yeah, Lilja and Anna want to meet us
at the mall down the street."

"That can wait." I said, hugging him and biting his neck.

"Ahhh-no it can't." he said sternly.

"Yes, it can." I said, playfully defying him. It didn't take much; all I
had to do was kiss him before he threw me onto the bed and got onto of me.

"Fine, but it looks like the ball is in my field." He said. He pinned my
arms above my head and began kissing me romantically. I could feel his
thick pecs on my chest, along with his large abs that protruded from his
stomach. I was completely amazed at his perfection.

"Okay okay, we should really get going." I said, panting.

"As you wish; but you're not walking." He said.

"What? Yes I am." I said, confused.

"Actually, you're not." He lifted me off of the bed again, grabbed our
wallets, and walked out of my room and downstairs.

"We'll be back, Mrs. Enzy!" he called out.

"Keep him safe, darling! Bye!" she called out from her room.

"Keep me safe? What do I have to worry about?" I asked curiously.

"Nothing, with me around." He replied, and that was exactly how I felt. His
arms were flexed as he held me, and the size of them would put any grown
man to shame. He walked considerably fast, considering he was holding a guy
who weighed 140lbs.

After thinking about that, I asked him, "How much do you weigh anyway?"

"200 pounds." He replied earnestly.

"Wow." I said. I should have known, though, muscle weighs a lot.

"We're here." He said, letting me down gently. When we walked in, we saw
Lilja and Anna sitting in the foot court at a small table with two lousy
looking guys talking to them. The girls didn't seem to enjoy their company,
even though they seemed to be our age or a year older.

"Excuse me, but who are you?" though Jakob's choice of words were polite,
his voice was not.

"Who are YOU?" the taller guy replied.

"Uhm, they tried to get us to have sex with them. We don't even know them."
Anna said.

"Who the hell is this, your brother-" the tall guy started.

"Don't talk to her." Jakob told him. It was either the look of anger on
Jakob's face, or his bulging muscles, but either way the guys stopped
talking at once. "Get lost. If you're looking for a slut to mess with, you
are looking in the most incorrect direction you ever could. I don't take
this crap lightly." Jakob said threateningly.

The smaller guy was shaking by now. "Let's just go." He said to the taller
guy.

"S-sorry sir." They said to Jakob before scurrying off.

"That was awesome." I said enthusiastically. Anna kissed Jakob on the cheek
and said thanks.

"Oh by the way, we have some news for you two." Jakob said confidently.

"What is it?" Lilja asked curiously.

"Nathan and I are dating." He said.

"That would explain the hickeys on your neck." She said to me. I blushed
deeply.

"So what happened?" Anna asked. We explained last night in great detail.

"Well that's hot." They said jokingly. "Oh and, nice shirt." Anna said to
Jakob sarcastically.

"Hey! I like it. It smells just like Nathan."He said, hugging himself in a
cute sort of way.

"Annnd, it shows off his godly body!" I added.

"I've always thought he had a nice body... but we're friends, so I don't
really pay attention." Lilja said, poking Jakob in the abs, who responded
with blushing.

"He's so modest about his body, but he isn't afraid to put someone in
check... nice." I said with a cocky grin.

"Yeah yeah. Anyway, what do you all want to do?" he said, changing the
subject.

"Let's see. My best friend, my other gay best friend, his hot boyfriend,
and I have the whole day to themselves at the mall... let's go shopping!"
Lilja exclaimed.

"Where at though?" Anna asked. They all looked at me. I dragged them into
Hollister, where they checked out the cute tank tops, or in Jakob's case,
the hoodies ("They are so awesome!"). After we were done there, we went and
got a bite to eat from a weird restaurant called Penny's Pizza. Lilja had
bought three tank tops, two thin shirts to sleep in, four pairs of short
shorts, and a regular shirt. Anna had bought only a tank top and a pair of
short shorts, while Jakob bought three sexy muscle shirts, two tight
graphic tee's, and two pairs of hot jeans.

"Wow, awesome choices guys." I said, after they showed me what they had
gotten.

"You think so?" Jakob asked.

"At least the clothes you bought fit you." Lilja said jokingly.

"Yeah, really. Oh my god, this pizza is awesome!" Anna exclaimed.

"What, haven't you had pizza before?" I asked, staring at her peculiarly.

"Well, of course, but not this well made!" she replied. We were all
laughing and having a good time, until none other than Jake Eren walked up
to us.

"Hey, I need to talk to you. Alone." He said to me.

"You aren't going anywhere with him unless I'm there." Jakob said. I really
liked his tone of authority; it saved me from having to stand up to the
head jock of the grade.

Jake flinched at Jakob's words. I wouldn't blame him, either; Jake had
experienced firsthand the type of destruction Jakob can cause.

"Okay, you can come." He said, his voice quivering.

"What, you think I need your permission? I'm coming whether you like it or
not." Jakob said. Again, Jake flinched, to which Jakob snickered.

"We'll be right back." Jakob told the girls. He stayed beside me at all
times, as if expecting Jake to attack me.

"I wanted to apologize for making fun of you." He said to me.

"I accept your apology." I said, then looking at Jakob.

"I'll accept your apology, as long as you don't personally attack him
again, and if I find out that you do; I'm beating the living hell out of
you. Got it?"

"D-definitely." He said, before walking off quickly.

"Do you have to scare him like that?" I asked Jakob.

"Better safe than sorry." He replied. Throughout the day, we did numerous
things, such as walking around, going to the arcade, buying loads of candy,
shopping more, checking out the video games, and buying each other things
such as nail polish for the girls, and sexy body spray for anyone. At
around 8pm, we all decided to go home. Lilja's foster mom came and got the
girls, and Jakob and I walked home. Again, he carried me the whole way; me
in one arm, our bought goods in the other.

"You don't *have* to carry me everywhere, you know. You might hurt yourself
anyway." I said once we got home.

"I benchpress double your weight; I'll be fine." He said with faux
grumpiness. Just then, my phone started to ring. I looked at Jakob.

"It's Emma." I told him.

I answered it and said, "Hello?"

"Hey, listen, Nathan, I'm real sorry about yesterday. I really shouldn't
choose my boyfriend over my best friends... I spoke with Jake and he said
he'd apologize whenever he saw you." She said sincerely.

"Yeah, I saw him today. He told me he was sorry. It's no problem Emma,
we're all good. Besides, I have news that will make that seem so small." I
said eagerly.

"What's that?" she asked curiously.

"Jakob and I are dating!" I said excitedly.

"Oh my god, really??" she asked.

"Totally!" I exclaimed.  I knew we probably sounded like little school
girls, but I didn't care. Jakob laughed at us before saying, "Well, if it's
okay with you two, we should sneak out to Lilja's tonight. She has a pool;
it'd be awesome!" he said.

"Oh, I can't. I'm grounded for grades." She said through the phone.

"That sucks." I said, droopingly.

"Yeah, well, I better go before my mom catches me on the phone. Bye!" she
said in a hurry, hanging up.

"I'll call Lilja then." Jakob said. After about ten minutes of hearing
quick Icelandic, aka heaven, Jakob said, "We'll leave at 11."

This was going to be an awesome night.
