it's not that simple.

Chapter 9

I woke up in a tight embrace, strong arms had woven around me and I could feel steady breath on my bare neck.

Wait... bare neck?

I shifted slightly and turned to face him, Jayce. If only I knew what had happened! Because now, I lay here pulled tight to his nacked torso. I let out a sigh of relief when I relised I had slept in my strapless dress from the day before, Therefore my neck had been bare. I watched as he stirred some more and tightened his grasp on me, he mumbled something into my heated skin but I couldn't quiet tell what he was saying.

"Morning Beautiful," He repeated siting up to face me.

"Hi," I whispered.

We lay there staring into each other eyes for a while, until.. like every morning Hali came prancing into my room.

"Up now guys!" She yelled from my doorway, I heard Jayce let out a groan and I myself let one escape my lips. As much as I didn't like being this close to Jayce, the thought of school sickened me.

"Up up up!" She chanted while flicking the light switch one and off. I wrenched the blankets up over my head and moaned loudly. I flipped on my side to face Jayce witch only ended up worse.

"Jayce!" I screamed,

He forced the blankets back down to my chest and looked at me worried,

"What!" He asked shocked,

"You!" I replied.

He then understood what I had been talking about,

"Ohh," He laughed,

Hali leaped onto the bed and began to jump, I watched her foot accidentally slip and fall in line with Jayces groan.

"Ooouuuchhh," He wailed in pain,

She fell down at the end of the bed clenching her stomach trying her hardest not to laugh,

"Geez kid," He yelled at her,

I pulled her into my lap when I noticed the tears starting in her eyes,

"Don't yell at her," I hollered punching him hard in the chest, The fierst contact of my fist to his chest startled him. I watched him jolt back and look me in the eyes, as if he was looking into my sole.

I stumbled up and yanked Hali's arm,

"Lets go," I ordered.

Se fallowed silently, I could feel his eyes burning into me as we walked away.

Like every morning the family rushed about, getting all 3 kids, now 4 because of Jayce ready for school, along with my dad who went to work and Kelly who I don't really consider part of the family. Food was left everywhere and clothes made heaping piles in the corner of almost every room. Besides the fact that me and Jayce haven't had even the slightest bit of conversation all morning, It wasn't all that bad. I flicked on the light and threw clothes out on my bed, running my hand through my thick hair, I disided on something simple for today. A pair of white skinny jeans and a ruffled grey tank top, along with my grey and pink striped flats. I forced everything onto my equally tan body and stared at the reflection before me.

My nails had been painted a light purple and decorated with a small black flower on the tips. My toe nails just the same, I let my hair out of the pony tail and watched it fall to exactly my mid back. I left it in its natural blond wave and tossed my make up bag aside. I was just as pretty without it, and today.. for some reason I felt perfect. I continued to watch myself in the mirror, lost in my perfection, when Jayce came into the room. His damp hair was still a mess under his purple and blue flat hat, and his dark skinny jeans fit exactly to his long legs. My eyes scanned over his ripped chest, and a suducing grin spread across his face. He held a white mussel shirt in his hand that would clearly show his muscular body. All this taken from a view in the mirror, since I still faced my reflection I pretended not to notice him now and went to adjusting my top. He strolled up behind me and wrapped his arms around my shoulders, leaning in so his lips touched my ear.

"It doesn't have to be this way, You know just as well as I do..."
