*Alexa's point of view*
I had asked Jake if we could share a bowl of cereal. I never really ate much. He agreed and asked which one I wanted.
"we have, lucky charms, coco puffs, captain crunch, froot loops-"
"FROOT LOOPS" I yelled for my favorite cereal
He laughed and reached for the high cabinet. He handed me the box and I started eating hand fully of it while he reached for a bowl.
"don't choke Alexa."
"sshhhhh"
"haha, that pretty little mouth of yours sure fits alot in there" he said with a grin
I immediately spit on the cereal and looked at him with big eyes.
"I was kidding Alexa! I make a lot of perverted jokes."
"don't do it when I'm eating" I whined
"alright I'm sorry" he chuckled pouring milk and cereal into a blue glass bowl.
He walked over to the counter where I was sitting and lifted me up to take me to a clear glass table where we started eating froot loops and staring at eachother with smiles on our face.
"what are you looking at punk?" I asked pretending to be a thug.
"you have a horrible thug impression" he laughed scrunching his nose at me
"don't hate .." I stuck my tounge out at him
We finished our cereal and I begged him to carry me back to the room. He picked me up bridal style and started walking to his room.
We were laying under the covers and talking nonsense. I guess the vodka had kicked in by now.
"I wanna get a pet unicorn and name him taco" jake said staring at the ceiling
"why taco?" I asked giggling.
"because I love tacos. And if I get a pet unicorn I'd learn to love it so therefore I'll name it something I love" he said shrugging his shoulders.
"makes sense to me" I agreed and turned to my aside so I could face him
He then did the same and we were both facing eachother two inches apart.
I could smell vodka and sweet sugar on his breath. He smelled quite delicious actually.
"are you tired Jake?" I asked breathlessly as his blue eyes bored into my soul
"no, are you?" he asked not breaking eye contact
"no.." I answered quietly
Everything seemed like out of a romance novel. Like a script of a love story and for some reason I couldn't accept it. Things never turned out right for me. Why would they be this perfect now? My stomach was In a knott and my tounge made it hard to speak, especially when my brain was telling it to say corny sweet stuff. But of course I didn't say it because my lungs were sucked dry from all air, making it nearly impossible to speak.
Jake broke my mental rant as he warped his arms around me to pull me closer. As a natural instinct I filched at the touch. Making him hesitate before proceeding with his way.
"why do you flinch? I won't hurt you" he asked with honesty and concern in his tone
"I'm sorry, I know you wouldn't hurt me," I lied. Everyone was out to get me in my head, flinching was a reflex developed by all the abuse I had experienced during the past years.
"it's just I'm not used to people holding me.." I said blushing and looking away to his chest trying to avoid his gaze.
"well get used to it because I love holding you" he said kissing my shoulder. He made shivers course my body.
*Jake's point of view*
I Kept my hands on Alexa's lower back holding her close to me. She was so warm.
" you're hands are cold" she shivered at my touch.
"sorry, my hands are always cold, I guess I'm cold blooded or something" I joked
"it's cuz you don't haves a soul" she said giggling at her own comment
"you did not just laugh at your own joke." I stared down at her with a smile
She burst out laughing and burring her face into the pillow.
When she finally looked up and stared at me she was red and looked out of breath from laughing so much.
"you're so lame Alexa. Who laughs at their own jokes?" I said laughing really loud with her
"I'm sorry Its just I'm kinda stupid sometimes" she said through laughs.
" sometimes?"
She jokingly smacked my chest, but she kept her hand there turning the scene intimate In an quick second.
I looked at her beautiful shinning eyes, I just wanted to gauge them out and put them in a necklace so everyone could admire their beauty. It sounds disgusting I know, but it's just they're so beautiful I wanted to have them with me at all times.
"you're pretty" i said withouten thinking. But i didnt regret it Because i meant it.
"you'repretty too" she blushed a bright pink
"you're a virgin" I said teasingly
"shut up" she said smiling sheeply.
"we can change that you know?"
maybe I was taking it too far, but my body was aching to make her mine, to concet with her intimately to make sure she knew she was beautiful, for her to know she's gorgeous in my eyes. I wasn't looking for a lustful night to just be gone before morning and never see her again. I was looking for a night where i'd make love for the first time. I've had sex before, but I had never made love. And I knew she was the one. Wait, did I just realize I love this girl? This beautiful stranger that I somehow feel like I've known my whole life.
I wasn't just having lustful thoughts, I was having an honest thought about her. And I was gonna make it clear to her.
