Our Love, Your Demise [18+]

Chapter 21

This morning was different. I woke up before Jake did, I moved my head away from his neck, seeing him with his mouth open and small snores coming out of his mouth. Carefully, I turned my body around, and seeing the time was 5 am.

Slowly, I got out of bed, wanting to watch my movements as I didn't want to wake him up. He doesn't need to be on deck until 6 am. I walked down the steps, deciding to wear the black trousers I wore on our first day as they've been cleaned. My shirt is the same style as yesterday but blue. I put black boots on as well as put my hair in a braid.

When I was fully ready, I moved around the room, blowing the candles out before moving towards the bed. The clock read half 5 now, but this was the time he normally got up.

"Jake." I sang softly. When I got up, he moved onto his tummy, hugging my pillow. My hand stroked his hair as I sat on his side of the bed. He grumbled before rubbing his face on the pillow. I laughed quietly as I leaned down to kiss his cheek. I watched as he moved his right arm from underneath the covers to wrap around my waist.

"Jake." I squealed as he pulled me around his body to lay in the middle of the bed. Jake smiles cockily at me as he keeps a tight grip around my waist. I shake my head before turning to lay on my side.

"You've got 15 minutes before they're going to come knocking on our door." I whispered, moving some of his hair away, room his eyes. He groans, pushing me down and resting his head on my chest.

"Don't make me." He says, rubbing his nose on my shirt. I laugh, making him smile and look up at me.

"I don't want to." I say, smiling gently as he leans upwards and kisses my lips. Jake groans loudly before rolling back onto his side and sitting up.

"If I don't get up, they will come in here." Jake says, stretching his muscles cracking, making me gag at the noise. Jake laughs as he walks down the steps and pulls on grey trousers and a white shirt and vest.

When he was ready, he took my hand, and together, we walked outside. Surprisingly, there aren't a lot of people outside yet. Xavier and Rosanna were. They were standing by the edge looking out.

"Hello love birds." Rosanna says when she sees us walking towards them. Xavier turns smiling before looking at my neck.

"She is still my sister." Xavier says, pointing to my neck before laughing quietly. He knows he wouldn't stop us. Jake doesn't say anything but looks proud of himself.

"Good morning." Kingston says, coming out of his room with the captain and Desmond in tow. We wave to them as they walk past.

"You're needed in the map room after breakfast. First, we need those sails down so we can go full speed." The captain says, looking at us, even Rosanna. We nodded our heads, and immediately, the two boys whistled, and the crew got out of their rooms getting to work.

I look over the edge, seeing the water hit the edge of the ship, watching as it bounces off. I wished I had done this sooner.

"How are you enjoying the journey so far." Rosanna asks as she leans over, watching the waves. I smile widely. I love every minute.

"I'm loving every minute. This is my family. I can't wait for you and my brother to have children so I can become an auntie." I say, smirking to Rosanna, who looks eyed wide for a moment before slapping my arm.

"I can't wait for you and Mr. Show off up there to announce you're having a baby." She says back, smirking. I laugh at her before looking down.

"Especially after last night. You two were loud." She whispered. I gasp and smack her shoulder again. What caught my attention was the smell of food hitting my nose.
