Soft Spot

Chapter 14

Sorry for the little break currently writing a new book which you should 100% check out! It's a creepypasta fanfic, i'm also about to start my exams for university so its going to be very slow over the next month but will get better when I am on my summer break.

Phew, well that was a lot closer than I expected but soon came Jim and Harvey running around the corner. Jim I'm not surprised but the fact Harvey kept up I'll admit I'm pleasantly surprised. I started to giggle at myself slightly while we continued to drive, Tabitha was too in the zone to even notice that I laughing so much. Finally we managed to make it back to the apartment and we saw the van was back I'm assuming they abandoned the truck as that would be way too obvious if we just casually left it outside. I jumped out of the car and grabbed a few things out of the back in order to help Tabitha and we walked up to the building in silence. Once we walked in I was almost instantly lifted off of my feet, I squealed slightly at the suddenness but turned my head to see some ginger hair and knew it was Jerome. "What the hell man you scared the shit out of me!" I said as he put me down, he simply shrugged not really knowing why he did it. We all walked into the main living area to see Theo standing there an unimpressed look on his face. "I hear you failed." He said looking over the men in the room. Jerome huffed next to me crossing his arms. "It's not our fault the lighter YOU gave us didn't work." Greenwood said angrily, dam he was pissed probably because he couldn't go and munch on the kiddies. I cringed at myself for thinking that but regained composure pretty quickly.

After about 10 minutes of the boys being lectured we were finally all able to go back to our rooms, Jerome looked pretty bummed out as he shuffled his feet along the floor. I really didn't like seeing him like this it was better when he smiled and was laughing and joking about it was so contagious! So to cheer him up I invited him over to my room once he was changed and we could do something he agreed and we separated into our separate rooms. I walked over to my drawers and looked through them trying to find some comfy clothes to just lounge with, I decided on a pair of grey joggers and a oversized dark green t-shirt. I flopped on my bed looking up at my ceiling.

I was interrupted by a knock at my door followed by it opening revealing Jerome smiling, he seemed a bit happier now at least and I sent him a huge smile in return. He was also wearing some grey joggers and a oversized t-shirt expect his was a burnt orange colour. "hiya gorgeous." He said as he flopped down on the bed next to me, I rolled my eyes and punched his shoulder lightly. He pretended to be hurt by my action grabbing his chest before we both started laughing.

We had been sat in my room for a couple of hours now just talking and messing around, he had definitely cheered up more which I was very happy about. Currently we were pretending to dual one another, he stood in a fighting stance and pretended to swing a imaginary sword at me. I jumped back from where the sword was swung and launched myself at him lifting my imaginary sword up in the air about to bring it down on him, he swiftly moved his arms up so they clashed and we stood pretending to struggle against one another. It didn't seem like either one of us were going to stop until Jerome swiped my foot from under me causing me to fall flat on my back a 'ooft' escaping my mouth on impact. He proceeded to stab me, "I win!" He yelled out, "Hey no fair you cheated!" I yelled back slightly annoyed. "Oh come on don't be such a sore loser Jess!" I huffed crossing my arms, an idea popped in my head. I quickly swiped his leg while he wasn't looking causing him to fall I stood up, "Aww no the mighty Jerome has fallen!" A devilish glint appeared in his eyes and I gulped slightly. He sprung up and charged at me tackling me to the ground, I tried thrashing at him to get him off but he managed to pin my arms to my sides with his legs rendering me basically useless. 

Once I calmed down and gave up fighting I looked up to see him staring at me, a look I had never seen on him crossing his face. I started to blush slightly seeing how close he was to my face. I could feel his warm breath run across my lips, he flickered his eyes down to my lips. I just stared not really wanting to move. He looked to be leaning in and i tilted my head to the side.

Knock. Knock.

I inwardly groaned while Jerome just snapped his head towards the door clearly pissed off at whoever was at the door. Reluctantly he got off me, "Yeah come in!" I yelled as I stood up, a blush still evident on my face. The door opened revealing Barbara, she raised one brow and looked between us seeing both of our flustered looks. A smirk crossed her lips, "Foods ready." She said simply before turning and walking down the hall. Me and Jerome just looked at each other. Wtf was that.
