Innocent ✔️

Twenty nine

We spent the night in bed in each others arms. We were both wide awake probably thinking about the same thing which was the answer of the question what's gonna happen to us.

The sun light slowly filled the room and for once, I hate it knowing that I have to get up and risk my life. It's like waiting for something so bad to happen but you don't know what it is or when you're going to have to face it.

I turned around in his arms and hid my face in his bare warm chest. "Morning babe." His soft voice said.

"Morning." I softly answered as well.

"Come on. Wake up and get ready!" He said and sat down in bed taking the covers off of me.

I quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him to lay next to me again and made his arms to hug me closer to him. "A bit longer."

I felt him tense from the sudden action but then felt his muscles calm down and giggle in my ear before placing a kiss there. "You're so adorable."

"What do you want me to get ready for anyways?" I asked, ignoring his compliment as usual, not knowing what to answer.

"It's Friday. We have a party tonight." He murmured and scoot closer to me.

I widen my eyes remembering what happened the last time I went out of the room. Now he is asking me to get ready. What for?

"It's your party. Why do you want me to get ready." I asked, trying to sound calm but inside I was burning down from fear.

"This time you're coming down with me. I'm not leaving your side ever again." He murmured in my ear again then bite my earlobe, nibbling at it then let it go.

"What will people say? You are hanging out with a maid?" I asked.

"You wouldn't be known with a fancy dress and makeup on as a maid, love." He groaned and start rubbing my stomach.

I grabbed his hand and throw it away then sat down in bed and looked down at him. "Jackson, this is so dangerous."

"Scared you'd get hurt?" He asked, turned around to lay on his back to have a better view of me.

"I'm scared you'd get hurt!" It was true. I was always more worried about what could happen to him more than what could happen to me. I know that mine will be worse but I'm sort of used to it, he is not.

"Don't be. We'll be fine. Nobody will notice." He finished his sentence with a smirk then took my wrist to turn me around so my back was facing him then he formed his arms around my waist to pull me down on him. I closed my eyes feeling myself getting relaxed just by laying in his warm arms.

"We have to get up babe. I have a lot of shit to deal with." He said then placed a kiss on my cheek.

I stretched and nodded, taking my hands off of his, letting him get out of bed. He opened his closet, obviously looking for something to wear making me take the time to look at each tattoo on his back. He didn't have a lot on his back though. He had a couple, including the cross tattoo.

I kept my eyes on it taking the time to really look at it. I closed my eyes and took a few deep breathes knowing he won't hurt me. He had a perfect body and a perfect personality that he doesn't show to so many people around him.

"Do you want to come with me to go down the city to buy a few things?" He asked, putting on a shirt, taking me off of my thoughts.

"N-No. I'll be fine here." I never really went to the city. Of course I went a few times but it wasn't alone. I wasn't free. I found it so huge for me to make one of my dreams come true.

"As you like." He came and kissed the top of my head then walked out the room. I took the time to realize where I am now and who I am with. The fact that I am in love with someone is already something I wouldn't have even imagined a few months earlier.

I bit my lip, trying to hide my smile then got up and walked to his closet and took out a random shirt of his and changed what I was wearing on top of it and kept my leggings on. I took one last look in the mirror then opened the door and followed him downstairs.

"Oh really? So you know nothing about it?" Jonathan's voice made my smile vanish from my lips when I saw him standing in front of Jackson's angry eyes.

"Jonathan! How about you stay away from me!" Jackson said. I kept walking down the stairs. I wasn't sure if I want them to see me or I should hide but before picking, Jonathan's eyes met mine then his eyes formed to a smirk.

"Should I say good morning? Because it seems like it was a great night!" He said, looking straight into my eyes.

Jackson looked behind and when he saw it was me, his angry eyes turned to worried, scared eyes. But why was the question.

"Anyways, I came to take a few things Father sent me to get then I will go back down the city so I won't be a bother for so long." He winked at me on his way upstairs.

I walked to Jackson and placed my hand on his shoulder making him turn around and take my two hand in his. "You are definitely coming with me. I'm leaving you here alone."

I was gonna say I will stay with Miss Robertson but I remembered that she leaves on Fridays so I had no answer.

We both left while Jonathan was still upstairs. I was sitting in the front seat next to Jackson that was the one driving the car. I watched the trees that I saw not so long ago when we were first on our way here. I smiled to myself, feeling like I was so happy and nothing could change that. I was living a life that I could ask for anything feeling like Jackson will do his best to make it happen. It was so different from before when I used to have someone ordering me around, telling me to do things I hated and I couldn't say no. I never knew how to say no.

A few minutes later, driving out of this forest we were staying in, I finally saw buildings, cars, people walking, laughing, talking. I was smiling like crazy but inside me, I was scared. I didn't know why I felt this fear inside me but I couldn't stop it. It was like I feared to be happy and when I feel it, I get scared that this happiness is going to end soon and I will go back to being sad again.

I felt a touch on my hand all of sudden making me flinch and quickly turn my head to Jackson. "Hey, it's just me." He caressed my hand and interlock our fingers together. "What's wrong babe?" He sofly said, taking a quick look at me then back to look on the road.

"Nothing." I sofly said then held his hand tight. He made me feel safe. Nothing could hurt me or get to me. Nothing can make me sad and that was how my muscles relaxed and my eyes kept looking at the building flying by us.

I felt like I'm missing life. I've waisted too much of my life being a prisoner and it wasn't unfair for me. Why me?

I sighed and closed my eyes, hoping to have a better life soon. That thought made me look at Jackson. His eyes were shining bright from the view of them I had from the side. His blue eyes were focused on the road and his hand was still in mine.

It gave me the opportunity to scan the beauty of his face. His lips. His eyes. His side of face. But then again that feeling that what we are doing is wrong found its way to the surface of my brain.

Why do I always have to find something to make me worried or cause me to be sad when I'm happy? Don't I deserve to be happy?

"I love you." He softly said, taking a quick look at me with a soft smile at the corner of his lips then looked back on the road, causing my heart to melt and all of sudden, I felt like everything just faded away but his voice repeating those three words over and over again.
