Falling By Chance

Chapter - 39

Everything has been an absolute bliss the past few weeks. Jake has been very attentive towards me, showering me with love and affection, his attention never wavering from me.

He has been pampering me with lots and lots of thoughtful gifts. Nothing extravagant but things that I value more than high-end branded things. For instance, he gave me the J.K. Rowling signed whole Harry Potter series. I have no idea how he managed that but I mean like what can get better than this? To say I was beyond ecstatic would be an understatement. I hugged him tightly to myself and he just chuckled and kissed me thoroughly.

He has been giving me the bouquet of my favourite flowers- roses, everyday since he came back to me. After his big reveal or surprise call it whatever you may, I have been over the moon that Jake is shifting here and we could be together now. No more long distance. No more missing each other. I remember what it has been like staying away from him, especially after our fight. I never want to be away from him. Ever. He is my home. He has been trying a lot to seek my forgiveness as he is still very guilty about what happened between us and honestly all his efforts are melting me away. I have already forgiven him and I'm ready to move on with him.

We both are currently laying in bed, our limbs entangled with one another and talking.

“So I've been thinking...”, He begins. His eyes locked with mine, twirling a piece of my hair in between his fingers. I look up at him at his words giving him my full attention.

I reach up and kiss his chin. I couldn't help but be touchy with him. After almost losing him, touching him assures me that he is actually here with me and I'm not hallucinating.

“Yeah?” I reply, snuggling closer to him.

“As I'm already living with you here and rarely go back to Blake's apartment, all my stuff is already here and I can't stay away from you for even a second and when you are already my home...” He rambles on confusing me more and more. I silence him by putting my finger on his lips.

“Jakie, just come to the point.” I smile at him a little, definitely sensing his hesitation.

He closes his eyes and sighs. He opens them and runs his hand through his dark, luscious locks. A clear sign of him being a nervous wreck. I instantly stiffen my spine waiting to hear what has him so anxious.

He sits up making me sit up as well. He mutters a low curse word under his breath "fuck" before turning towards me. He takes my hands in his and squeezes them. I raise a questioning brow at him.

“Jake, baby, what is it?” I move closer to him and free one of my hands to put it on his cheek. “You can tell me baby. I'm right here.” I smile encouragingly at him.

He sucks in a sharp breath before blurting out the words that made my world stop spinning for a whole damn minute.

“As I was saying, you're already my home, Roxy. I can't live without you. I love you more than life itself, so will you... Will you move in with me?” He asks, chuckling nervously at the end. His big, blue ocean blues stared into my brown orbs, full of anticipation. Meanwhile, I freeze. Roxy.exe has stopped working. Error.

“Umm... Roxy?” He calls out my name.

“Huh?” I ask, dumbly. I am too lost in my thoughts thinking about all the pros and cons of his suggestion. I mean isn't it too soon? Isn't it a big step? But you both are already kind of living together. Just not officially. He is just making it official now. What's the big deal. Right?

“Would you? Move in. With me?” He asks, expectantly.

“Jake, I...” I begin to reply to his question, my mind made up.
