We were in his bed, naked except for his shorts and my panties, just lying in each others’ arms. We didn’t want to ever let go of each other again after the fight. Clothes just kept us farther apart. We didn’t speak or even move. Just enjoyed each others’ company in silence.

Jacob broke it. “Billy wants me to finish school through home schooling. I have to miss to much school otherwise.” He chuckled at this.

“That can let you graduate early, you know,” I stated. I did some tutoring about fifteen years ago. Most of the students I worked with graduated at around seventeen.” I smiled.

“That’s what I’m hoping for, actually.”

“More time for the pack, then?”

“I was thinking more time for you, actually.”

I smiled. “I’d like seeing more of you like that. Maybe I can help tutor? I don’t sleep, so I have nothing else to do with my time than study.”

“Study what?” he asked.

“Music mainly. Dance, piano, and violin. But also history, art, math, literature…”

“Okay, you have a lot of free time,” he laughed. “But you play piano?”

“Yeah. Alice wants to see Edward and me have a round of dueling pianos. She’s trying to acquire another piano to do that.”

“Awesome. I would like to see that, I heard he’s really good.”

“He is. He has written some great pieces, too.”

“Do you sing?” he asked, getting the subject back on me.

“Yes, soprano. Operatic. What’s with the sudden round of 20 questions?” I chuckled.

“You’ve never mentioned a lot of this, so now I have a lot to ask and learn.” He shrugged.

“I haven’t mentioned a lot of things. I’ve been around for a while, remember?”

“What else haven’t you told me?” He was genuinely curious.

“Umm… I’m fluent in Latin, Spanish, French – hell, all the Romance languages (he laughed at how nonchalant I said this), as well as German. I want to learn more, maybe some Northern European or Asian languages.” He looked like he wanted to know more. “I don’t know what else to add!”

“Awards, honors, and accomplishments?”

“Countless awards in music and dance. They’re all in storage units across the US. Valedictorian once or twice in my rounds of high school,” Jacob raised an eyebrow when I said this. “I got bored and school took up some of my time! I only decided to be a know-it-all a couple of times. The rest of the time it was star performer/athlete/artist/whatever. I would only chose one aspect of my life to excel in. Did a lot of modeling, might want to pick that up again.”
