Mariah Oneshots

Started From the Bottom ~~ Part 6

****Jay's POV****

I walked along the sand to the entrance of the restaurant, Mariah fast asleep in my arms. I had really grown some strong feelings for her, and I felt like it was my responsibility to care for her and love her. She was everything I could ever ask for, and I just wanted to be the best thing she could ask for as well.

"Mmmm, Jay....." Mariah mumbled, moving her arm around to feel for me.

"I'm right here, baby." I said. She fully opened her eyes and looked up at me, then she gave me that beautiful smile of hers.

"So, I'm your baby now?" she smirked.

"Well, that's your decision to make but I-" I started. Mariah kissed my lips, interrupting what I was saying, and I had no problem accepting her kiss.

"There, I've made my decision. Does that clear things up for you?" Mariah asked after pulling away. I just stared at her with a big, stupid grin on my face, shocked that she was already comfortable enough to do that.

"Anyway, I like this restaurant......it's really pretty in here. What's it called?" she continued, changing the subject.

"It doesn't exactly have a name.....it's just a part of the island we're on." I stated, causing her to look confused.

"Wait, island? What are you talking about?"

"We're on an island.....go look for yourself, baby." I said, putting her down. She ran outside of the door and I followed her, only to notice her anxiously running her hands through her hair as she stared at the ocean.

"OMG, WHAT THE HELL?! WE'RE REALLY ON AN ISLAND?!" Mariah squealed.

"Yep, this is my private island. It's in the Caribbean, just in case you were wondering where we were."

"What's the name of it?"

"I haven't named it; I've had it for about 2 years but I don't really know what to call it." I told her.

"You're not really good at naming things, huh?"

"Nah, not really." I laughed. She giggled a little at the situation and sighed, then she turned around to where she was facing the ocean.

"So do you always bring girls here on first dates?" Mariah questioned. I went and wrapped my arms around her waist, causing her to turn back around and face me. I looked at her and played with one of her long curls, making her smile at me.

"I've never brought any woman out here; nobody has ever meant enough to me for me to bring them here, nobody but you." I explained.

"You really mean that?"

"I'm being completely honest with you, baby girl."

"I just wanna be sure, Jay. I fall in love fast, and once I'm in love I'm a sucker for it. Baby, I've already started to fall for you and I never want to be hurt by you. I just can't handle being hurt anymore; I care about you so much that I wouldn't want you to leave me."

"Mariah, I'd never intentionally hurt you....and I put that on my life. But I know that I'm not perfect, so if I were to ever do something that you feel offended by I would want you to tell me so that I could fix it. I'll NEVER do anything that I absolutely know will hurt you, though." I told her.

"I'm sorry if I sound insane, but you're just really amazing to me. I know that I'm talking really seriously for us when we've only known each other for a week, bu-" she started. I decided to do to her what she had done to me earlier, which was interrupt her with a kiss. I pulled her closer to me while kissing her, and she gave up trying to continue talking.
