Falling By Chance

Chapter - 25

I am standing at the door waiting excitedly for it to open. I ring the bell one more time when it doesn't open. I am about to start banging on it, my patience wearing thin, when the door snaps open and a very sleepy and an extremely tired looking Jake stands in front of me in a daze.

I almost feel bad for disturbing his sleep. Almost.

“Surprise baby!!!” I beam at him, enthusiastically while he just stands there, looking at me stupefied. The sleepiness on his face gets replaced by bewilderment. Gosh!! The look on his face, hahaha priceless!!!

“Umm... Have I gone nuts?” He asks himself. The fact that I'm standing right in front of him has still not registered in his mind.

“Jake!!!” I exclaim, laughing at his confusion. He thinks I'm a figment of his imagination.

“I'm starting to see things! You can not be actually here!!!! How!!???” He exclaims, still reeling from his surprise.

I smack his shoulder, rolling my eyes at him, “I can go back if you want.” I challenge him with a straight face feeling a little annoyed at his dramatic ass.

I turn around just acting that I'm leaving, yeah I'm petty but he quickly grabs me by my right wrist, and pulls me to himself, and smashes his lips right onto mine. I instantly transport to heaven! I missed this. I missed him. I love him!

He reaches behind my back still kissing me, and pulls my bag inside along with me. He slams the door shut and pushes me against it, kissing me like his life depends on it. Like a thirsty man getting his fill after a long, tiring day at work.

A delicious moan escapes me, “Mmm...”

His hands roam all over me, feeling me up, still trying to adjust to the reality, to check if I am actually standing in his arms right now.

He finally breaks off the kiss and leans his forehead against mine, both of us breathing heavily from our heated kiss.

“Well that was quite a welcome. I didn't expect that.” I finally manage to squeak out.

“God! You're really here! I missed you so fucking much, gorgeous.” He hugs me, squeezing the breath out of me. I might just die due to lack of oxygen but I won't mind, at least I'll be dying in the arms of the man I love.

A contented sigh leaves my lips as I hug him back in the same manner, hugging him close to me. “I missed you too so much.” I melt in his arms.

“These last few months have been like hell for me. Thank you baby, thank you for coming here and making me the happiest man right now!” He smiles at me adoringly. I'm going to melt into a puddle!!!! Help!

He then takes me inside, still holding onto my hand all this while. “Do you want to drink something? You must be tired from driving all the way here.” He asks as we make our way towards his kitchen.

“Yeah. Just water.”

He nods and grabs a bottle from his refrigerator, then hands me the glass of water he just poured.

I look around his home as I sip on my water. I can feel his eyes on me. This man can't do subtle, can he? I feel a blush instantly appearing  on my cheeks at his unabashed stare.

I turn towards him and handing him the now empty glass.

“Sorry for disturbing your sleep. I didn't know you were sleeping.” I apologise sheepishly, not knowing what to say next.

“It's alright. I had to wake up soon, anyway. Are you hungry? I'll prepare something for the both of us. I went to bed without having anything and now I can feel a storm rumble inside my stomach.”
