Forever Yours - Jamie Campbell Bower lovestory

Stay - Chapter 7

"Hey what's up? You look terrified..." He murmurs, hugging me tightly, his hand cupping the back of my neck.

"I just wanted to ask you something!" I grin as he kisses my forehead.

"Ask away,"

"It's awkward though!"

"Whatever it is, I won't laugh or anything!"

"I know. Okay. So. I was thinking that we will probably see each other everyday, right?"

"Exactly,"

"So, instead of you having to drive a long way to see me, why don't you just check out of the hotel and come and stay with me?"

He looks at me bewildered, but a smile slowly makes it's way to his lips. "Are you sure? 3 weeks is a long time so are you positive?"

"I want you to,"

"I want to, too," He chuckles, "Look, Jess. I really like you. Like really really really really like you. I'm kind of falling for you so quickly I don't even know how I managed to spend two nights without you, when we were only half an hour away from each other,"

"I really really really really like you too," I chuckle, "In actual fact, if you keep going the way you're going, I'm going to be in love with you very very quickly," I smile against his lips as he kisses me swiftly but lovingly.

"Well, it's the same with me," He whispers against my lips, "Should we go home now?" He smiles, kissing me again.

"I think we should," I smile, standing up towards the door, "Just text Matt,"

"Who? Oh, right. Yes," He laughs, looking at me, his face blank.

"Laura! We're going now,"

"Is he going to stay with you?" She asks, spinning around the corner.

"Yes, he is," I chuckle, taking his hand.

We walk outside after Laura says goodbye, and decide to take my car back to my house, our conversation never stopping the whole ride home. From his work, to my work, to my childhood to his childhood, and back to mine again.

"So, you have three brothers?" He asks, "Older or younger?"

"One older, one is my twin and then one younger," I smile, "So, Austin is 26, Mike is my age and Jake is 19. How old is your brother?"

"Sam is 19 as well,"

"Does he have a girlfriend?"

"I don't know. He didn't when I left but he was obsessed with this girl, he might have gotten with her, but I'm not sure," He shrugs, "Gosh, I'm such a good brother,"

"Eh, you're not that bad. I couldn't tell you the first thing about Jake's love life," I sigh, "Or Mike for that matter,"

"Do they live with your parents?"

"Austin is married with a son and they live in California. Mike lives with two of his best friends in a flat in Sydney and Jake lives with my mum,"

"They're scattered all over the place!"

"Yeah,"

"If you don't mind me asking, when did Austin get married?"

"4 years ago. They had Hunter, their son, 2 years ago,"

"That's nice,"

He smiles, holding my left hand while I steer with my right, "What about you?" I ask.

"What about me?"

"You were engaged weren't you? No offense but that obviously isn't happening anymore,"

"No its not happening. She called it off 6 months ago,"

"Are you sure you're okay with staying with me then? You don't feel like its too soon?"

"Not at all,"

"As long as you don't feel uncomfortable," I smile, "I won't be calling anything off any time soon,"

I chuckle as he leans over and kisses my cheek, a millimeter away from my lips, "Please don't distract me," I chuckle, as he leans over to kiss me again, "We're about 2 minutes away, this is my street," I chuckle, pushing his face away from me, "You can kiss me all you like when we get inside,"

"Deal,"

I turn into my driveway and his jaw drops. "You live here on your own?"

"Yeah, it's a big house. I get it,"

"My house wasn't this big growing up. And there were 4 of us!"

"I know. My dad is a builder so I got an awesome 21st present,"

"Well, that's pretty cool,"

"It might not seem so empty for a few weeks,"

I open the garage door and drive in, showing him towards the door that leads up to the house. "So this is the living room," I smile, showing the open space containing two spacious couches and a reasonably large television, "A lot of people think Im some posh, rich snob, but I'm not really,"

"I wasn't going to say that," He chuckles, leaning his chin on the top of my head, his left arm encircling my body.

"Well, that's nice," I smile, tipping my head back and Jamie already knowing to press his lips to mine, "Come on, I'll give you a tour of the rest of the house,"

I grab his hand and pull him towards the stairwell, "I'll show you the cool rooms first," I smile, "The reason why I have so many rooms in this house, is because whenever we have family parties or dinners or something, we have it here and lots of people live all over the place as you know, so they want to stay over. I think thats the reason dad built such a big house. I'm the only child he trusts, because I was single, there aren't any children running around to destroy the place. So I guess I'm more of a house sitter, but its in my name so thats good enough,"

"Hey, I'd take it,"

"Well it's yours just as much as it is mine for the next 3 weeks,"

"Sounds good," He presses his lips to mine, deepening the kiss. When he breaks away, slightly breathless, he says, "I'm seriously falling in love with you,"
