Are we meant to be?

CHAPTER SEVEN

I wake up the next day, feeling much better than yesterday.

Trying to get out of bed when you've been sick for 2 days is the worst, but sadly I have to.

So slowly I get up and walk out of my room, frowning when I don't see Jax in the kitchen.

I walk into the living room and feel my frown fade when I spot Jax on the couch sleeping with Marble on his lap.

( Marble is a gray cat, but that was the only pic I could find)

I take my phone and snap a picture of them.
I walk up to the couch and cuddle up next to them, feeling my eyes closing, deciding to sleep a bit more.

•••

I wake up to Jax whispering, „She's cute isn't she,Marble,"

He thinks I'm cute?
No, no it could never be me, maybe he's thinking about someone else.

„Elizabeth is the prettiest girl I have ever seen."

Okay, now he is talking about me.
But since when does he think I'm pretty?
Does he feel the same about me as I feel about him?
No, he would've told me.

„I don't know what I would do without, i don't think I still would be alive without her."

I slowly sit up, not thinking to far into what he just said.

„Good morning,sleepyhead," Jax says.

„Good morning," I mumble.

„I ordered breakfast today, and I'll make you my chicken soup later, so hopefully you feel better by tomorrow," He mentions.

„Okay, thank you, but you don't have to do all that," I say, for like the hundredth time.

„I know, I know, but I said that I want to, so you have to let me,please," He pleads.

„I'm not going to stop you," I tell him.

The bells rings just in time.

I'm about to get up when Jax stops me, „No no no, you stay and relax, I will get up and plate the food," he demands, already walking to the door.

He comes back with two plates of steaming food, which includes, a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and a blueberry muffin, my favorite breakfast ever, especially from that place

My moth starts to water as I take in the plate of food, „Thank you, Jax."

„Anything for you, love, now let's eat," He kisses my forehead.

When we are done eating I do to get up but he stops me, - again - „You stay here. You are sick, so I'm going to do the dishes, no argument."

I just nod.

„I'm going to start prepping the chicken soup, so pick out a movie we can watch, while it's cooking," he loudly says from the kitchen.

„Okay," I mumble.

I grab the remote, and search for Barbie in a Mermaid Tale, also one of my favorites.

He comes back, smelling like food and with a hot chocolate in his hand,sitting next to me on the couch.

He hands me the hot chocolate, I hug the cup with my hands, enjoying the warmth coming from the drink.

„Thank you," I say looking up at him.
„Your welcome," he says, giving me a kiss on the forehead.

He puts an arm around my shoulder, pulling me closer to him.
I put my head on his chest, sagging against him, while drinking my hot chocolate.

„How are you feeling today?" He asks after a while.
„Much better then yesterday."

„That's good."

„Can we maybe go on a little walk today?" I look up at him, „I haven't been outside yesterday or today."

„Yeah of course, do you want to go to the forest?" He asks.

„Yes, that would be nice," I say.

„Come on, dress warm, meet me at the door in 10, okay?" He tells me.

„Yup," I say.

I go to my room, grabbing a dark blue hoodie and grey sweatpants, plus a black puffy jacket.

When I'm done I walk to the door, seeing Jax already standing at the door.
I pause when I see his fit.

„There you are," He smirks.

„You sure you're dressed warm enough?" I laugh.

„I sure am, but I think you're missing something," He says, reaching for my beanie and putting it over my head, „There you go, now we're both ready to go."

He grabs my hand and reaches for the keys with the other.

We walk down to the car, he places a hand on the small of my back while opening my car door for me, I get into the passenger seat, when I am settled in he closes the door and walks around the car to get into the car himself.

The the 10 minute drive to the forest is quiet.

When we get there Jax gets out and walks around the car and opens my door for me.

He holds one hand out for me to take.
I grab his hand and get out of the car.

He closes the door and we start walking.

„Come on, you know where to go," He whispers in my ear while putting his arm around my shoulder.

Yes, I know it very well.
But I didn't know that this walk would change our friendship.
