*Jackson pov*
She smelled like juniper blossoms on a cold wintersnight but also like strawberrys freshly plucked
Her aroma surrounding me in a hug of fragrance... she is so close to me I can barely hold myself back from kissing her.... if only I could. I whisper to her "You smell really good." Even with my smell taken away, mostly her scent so strong came through the haze of my broken sense... or was her presence reminding me of a time in my past when everything was good
Her just being here was like a warm hug.*Layla pov*
I looked into his soft eyes. I couldn't resist myself. I knew it was wrong. I knew we weren't technically allowed. But I kissed him in the nose. Just because it was so cute.
*Jackson pov*
Oh crap... she kissed me........
Why am I light headed.....
"I... uhh... I dont feel... so....."
My eyes close and darkness covers the room as I fall backwards into a deep sleep....*Layla pov*
Before he hit the ground I had caught him with a loud 'umf' This precious man was so heavy. I sat down on one of the steps and rested his head on my lap. He'll be fine in a few minutes. Hopefully. But for the time being I played with his soft hair.
*Jackson pov*
"Ugh... my head.... how long was I out?" I groan out as my eyes open to a foggy view of the hospital room I woke up in... "Layla where are you?" I say to the room as my dry mouth starts speaking.
*Layla pov*
I shot up from my chair. Yeah, when, after an hour, he still hasn't woken up I called an ambulance. I got to cancel my afternoon classes too. I moved closer to him and took his hand. "Shh its ok. I'm here. You where out for about 14 hours. It's like night now. Here." i gave him a cup filled with water.
*Jackso pov*
I slowly drank the water and just as slowly absorb the info she just gave me. "Why cancel ur classes over me? I'll be fine see" I try sitting up only to fall back down. "Damn... must've hit the stairs pretty hard huh." I try laughing to lighten the mood but it just spiked my headache. "Sorry you have to worry bout me but I'll be fine"
What I really wanted to say was that I want her to stay here with me. I want her to climb in next to me but I've only known her for 2 days, I cant ask that. "Dont u have to go home soon L"*Layla pov*
"Nah. I got the work I missed sent to my computer so I'm not behind." I hesitated a bit. I've only known him for two days. But then I thought, screw this. And then, thankfull the doctor was only coming back to check tomorrow, I gently got on the hospital bed to comfort Jackson. He looked so sad. But he was so nice and warm.
*Jackson pov*
Did she read my mind....
I slowly tucked my arm in behind her neck then flipped to my side then with my other arm pulled her body close to mine and I wispered in her ear "how'd you know I wanted you next to me?"
Obviously under normal circumstances I wouldn't pull such a bold move but I didn't even think for a second about my actions... I just wanted to hold her.*Layla pov*
I smiled at him, "You looked so sad. And holding someone usually helps." I had memorized every inch of his face when he was asleep. He looked so peacefull then. He has smile lines around his eyes and mouth. His nose was a little crooked but had character. He was beautiful in a masculine way.
