Love At First Sight Part Two

Chapter 224 - Friends

Eve's POV again

"Can we go for a walk after breakfast, maybe? Just the two of us? I need to talk because I'm quite confused.", Jadon says whilst we're setting the table. I nod and say: "Of course, we have to walk Luna anyway." "Thanks. I really need that. It is nothing bad, I just need someone to help me sort my thoughts.", he says and shows me a shy smile. I smile back and hug him for a moment. Then we continue setting the table.
After having eaten breakfast we put on our boots and coats and call Erl's and my dog. Luna immediately runs towards us and presses herself against Jadon. He starts smiling bright and pets her which she seems to appreciate a lot. I watch them for a moment, then I put Luna on leash and we leave the house. We walk the first few minutes in silence but as we have arrived at the forest I ask: "Sooo... What do you want to talk about Jadon? What is confusing you?" The englishman sighs and thinks for a moment, then he says: "It's... Jude and I took a bath yesterday and it was wonderful. The way he talked to me, looked at me and touched me was so... Respectful and affectionate and it all was so intimate. I really enjoyed it...especially the way he touched and kissed my scars. I was so scared he would hate me for them and tell me they're ugly but he did the opposite, he made me feel okay with it. And whilst we were sitting in the hot water we talked about so many things and he softly stroked over my upper body and it felt really good. I felt so loved and maybe even beautiful." He then stays silent for a moment and I use those seconds for saying: "That sounds great Jadon. I'm so happy for you. But why are you confused now if everything was so nice?" He sighs again and then explains: "After all that happened with Andre I promised myself to not give my body to someone else that fast ever again. And I didn't think I could appreciate body contact. And now I'm confused because I didn't plan to do things like that that early but it also felt so good and now I just don't know how to feel about it." I nod, I get what he means, and then hug him as I realise that he's sobbing. I softly stroke over Jadon's back and whisper: "Shhhh, Jadon, it's okay. You know... I think if it felt that good whilst you were sharing this intimate moment and you still talk about it with so much happiness afterwards it was the right moment for it. It might have been earlier than you imagined it to happen but that's totally okay as long as you enjoyed it. And the way you talked about it sounds like you really did. And Jude loves you more than anything else in the world and he would never hurt you. Jadon, I really don't think you should be worried or confused right now. I think it was the perfect moment. And if you don't feel ready for more that's totally okay. Jude will understand that and he will show you his love in the way he did so far. Just talk to him, tell him how much you enjoyed it but that you aren't ready for more. He will be happy that you liked it and that you talk to him about your feelings because you don't do that often without being asked for it. He will enjoy your trust and show you that he's worth it. And he'll show you your worth. You mean so much to us but even more to him and I don't think he'll ever stop showing you his love. So just talk to him and everything will be okay, hm? And of course Erl and I will always be there for you two. And Julian, Maddy, Gio, Marie and Gabi too." While I'm talking Jadon's sobs become more quiet and in the and stop, only his breath remains a little shaky. I just keep hugging him and stroking over his back to calm him down and Jason seems to really appreciate it, I think he needed exactly that.
As he's calm enough he says: "Thank you so much Eve. You're totally right, I will talk to Jude about how I feel about it and everything that could happen in the future. And yeah, it was the perfect moment. I was ready, it was in a place I felt safe in and with Jude who makes me feel the best I could ever feel. It was the right moment and it was fantastic. And I'll tell him. Thanks for helping me sort my thoughts and thanks for always being there for me. I really don't know what I'd do without you." I just smile bright and ruffle through his hair for a moment but then Luna tries to get our attention because she wants us to throw her ball for her and Jadon does that with a lot of happiness.
