Chapter7: Cuddles And Clouds

Jerome's POV

I sighed and wiped the blood off my hands with a wet cloth.

I had to take care of that Adam guy. Just only beated him a little to get some information out of him.

I went to the bathroom and cleaned the blood off my face. Then I went to my room and changed into sweatpants and a normal shirt.

Then tip toed into Michelle's room. I smiled. She was already asleep.

I closed the door quietly. So I wouldn't wake her up. Then I locked the door.

I walked to her bed and slowley crawled in. I laid beside her and pulled the covers over us. Then I pulled her close and she smiled and cuddled back in my chest.

I smiled a little wider and kissed her forehead and closed my eyes. Falling asleep with her.

Mitch's POV

I smiled at him as he kept a tight grip on my head.

It's been 5 hours since I left his side. He wouldn't let me go. He was scared that there was a chance that there maybe another guy waiting to hurt me if I was by myself.

He looked at the empty space on the wall. It was next to the last portrait which was the newest one. It was Jerome's mom and dad.

"I think we'll be the next perfect family", he looked at me and was smiling like crazy ,"Don't you think"?

My cheeks flushed deeply and I barley smiled. Then nodded and looked up at his mom and dad's painting. So he couldn't see me frown.

I plan on maybe telling him or doing something extreme to make him call off the wedding. I don't want him to marry me then be disappointed when he finds out after were married that I'm a guy.

I bit my bottom lip.

He wants a family... I can't give him children... only sorcerers can make a potion to make a guy pregnant, and they perished many years ago. So there was a zero chance of that.

He grabbed my chin softly and made my gaze look him in the eyes. My whole face turned red.

"Michelle... your crying... what's wrong?"he whispered.

Kissing my forehead. He hugged me close and I hugged him back even tighter. Then started crying loudly unconsciously into his neck and shoulder.

He rubbed my back and leaned his head over to kiss my temple here and there.

Every time he gave me a sweer delicate kiss on my head, it made it worse. It made every thing worse. Knowing if he knew the real me, he wouldn't really love me and these kisses would be waisted and not mean anything. They mean many to me, but not to him. He was adorable though.

"I-I'm fine...", excuse excuse ,"Just.. J-Just miss my dad".

He nodded and pulled back. Keeping his arms around me.

"It's fine. I miss my mom Michelle. We're in this together. Don't worry"he whispered.

My eyes teared up more and I smiled.

He's so sweet. Kind hearted and caring.

I squealed as I was suddenly sweeped off my feet. He picked me up bridal style and I held onto him close so he wouldn't drop me. I doubt he would though.

He laughed softly at me. Then kissed my forehead. I snuggled my head in his neck and closed my eyes.

He walked to his room and nudged the door open with his foot. He walked to his bed and laid me down on his bed.

He covered me up to my shoulder.

"Get some rest and I'll be back in a minute. I gotta go do something. Okay?"he whispered.

I nodded and he kissed my nose and cheek.

"Love you Michelle".

My eyes teared up ,"Love you too Jerome".

He left the room and I immediately sat up.

I just can't. After that. He loves Michelle... not me.

I sniffed and wiped my eyes after tears pricked in them. Then I got up and went to window. Looking out and starring into the sky. Daydreaming away.

Jerome's POV

I knocked on my dads study room and he quietly granted me permission to come in.

I opened the door slowley and peeked in. He was just working on papers. I closed the door behind me and went to his desk. Sitting in the chair on the other side of him.

He put his papers down and looked me in the eyes.

"Well?"he mumbled.

I scratched the back of my head ,"I tried the best I could Pop. He only said his name was Adam Dalberg, he was a previous life long friend of Michelle's and... that's a boy it".

He sighed and waved his hand away.

"If that's it then leave please. I'm busy and we need to plan tomorrow. Come back if any more good information spills out of his mouth".

I nodded and greeted him bye and left the room. I sighed and rubbed my face.

Great, I annyoyed him. Now he's gonna be stressed till he finishes his work.

I walked quickly into my bedroom and looked confused.

Mitch was leaning against the window and starring out it. Daydreaming with a big smile on his face.
