Hard Heart to Crack

Chapter Eight: The Beginning in The End

I was woken up at 6:00 AM by a certain boy. I was sleeping peacefully, until BAM! Jaden bolted into the room and jumped on my bed, causing me to be launched into the air. I ended up on the floor with Jaden looking down at me from my bed. He batted his eyelashes and gave me an innocent smile. 

"Morning Sweetheart."

I scowled at him, then I stood up and dusted myself off. Jaden looked me over, I then realized that I was only wearing shorts and a tank top. I felt my face warm up as I reached for a blanket to cover myself with. Before I could react, Jaden grabbed my hand and pulled me back into the bed. I raised an eyebrow at him as he laid down on the right side of the bed. 

"You think so low of me, Sweetheart?"

I rolled my eyes and laid down on the left side of the bed facing him. His blue eyes analyzed my face, his gaze lingered on my lips before going back to my eyes.
He gave me a goofy smile.

"I could get used to this, you know Sweetheart." 

He reached his hand out and stroked my cheek,pushing my loose curls behind my ear.
I scooted closer to him, wanting to close the space between us. I put my head on his chest and inhaled quietly. Taking his scent in, he smelled like fresh apples which I somehow found appealing. His hand was now on my waist, I felt like just laying here in this position forever.
Just then, my gran walked in.

"GOOD MORNI-oh. Oh. OH." 

Jaden and I both looked up at her from our position. She had a smirk on her face.

"Next time, at least warn a gal and put a sock on the door!"

"GRAN!"

She giggled and left the room.
Jaden looked back at me, and smirked.

"I'm glad your Gran has such faith and trust in us."

I rolled my eyes, and got out of the bed. 

"I'm going to go shower."

He smiled, "Okay, I'm going to go and pick an outfit out for you."
I snorted, "Whatever you want, babe."
He raised an eyebrow, "Oh so its babe now huh?"
"You call me Sweetheart, I call you babe. Unless you'd rather me call you big mouth."
He laughed, "Nope, I'm good with babe!"

I winked at him, then I went and got in the shower. I soon realized that I had a problem. I didn't have my clothes with me and Jaden might still be in the room. Oh great.
I wrapped the towel around me and opened the bathroom door just a sliver. 

When I didn't see Jaden, I quickly exited the bathroom. I found an outfit, that I presumed Jaden had picked out, laying on the bed.

I started looking thru it, thankful that he hadn't taken the opportunity to pick out my undergarments for me. He had pulled out a pair of black jeans, and a dark blue T-Shirt for me to wear. Just before I was about to change, Jaden walked in.

"Chris are you rea- OH!"

He covered his eyes and turned his back to me. He started apologizing, I snorted.

"It's fine Jaden, I'm not going to be scarred for life just because a boy saw me in a towel."

"First of all: not just a boy, your boy. Second: what about me? Not that I'm complaining. But seeing you in a towel is going to be the topic of discussion in my dreams tonight!"

I rolled my eyes, I walked over to him. I spun him around so he faced me, his hand still over his eyes.

"Jaden, open your eyes."

"Are you still in your towel?"

"Just open them."

He took his hands away from his eyes slowly. He opened his eyes, they immediately widened. He went to put his hands over his eyes again, but I stopped him. His eyes never left my face.
