Chapter 6 - Revealations.

For so long, Jace has been my number 1. He's gone through girlfriend after girlfriend and I've loved him all the way. But now, he has turned to me and I will never let him go.

We sit on his bed for a while, in silence before I say "I think I'm in love with you too."

"Really? Tara you don't have to say it just because I said it, you know."

"I know. And I know that I'm in love with you."

He sits up and looks into my eyes, signalling that I should sit up too. Once I am up, he shifts his body closer to mine. He wraps his arms around my waist and I wrap my legs around his. Suddenly, we are so close together.

Then, he kisses me, harder than the last time. My hands instantly go to his hair, his brush my back. Our mouths intertwine, and our breaths quicken. His hands now roam around my body and my arms move down to his waist. He is an unbelievably good kisser. His lips are so soft as they touch mine, I love this. I don't want the moment to end, it is amazing. I try to move my body as close to him as possible and he moves closer too.

He is the one who pulls away. We stare into each other's eyes for what feels like forever and then he opens his mouth to speak

"I've wanted to kiss you like that since forever."

I blush red and move my head down to my crossed legs. I twiddle my fingers and then mumble

"Me too."

He doesn't hear me

"Pardon?"

"I have too. I've loved you since forever."

And we kiss again, but it is soft, gentle. Like he is responding to what I just said. The kiss is only short, but Jace leaves me wanting more. I will always want more.

We talk for a while, I don't even know how long. I sit cross legged and listen to him, he talks about nothing important. And the best thing is. He is mine.

...

I wake up in an unfamiliar room. The lights seeps in through the closed blind. I blink once, twice and my eyes adjust. The room is no longer unfamiliar. It's obviously Jace's room. His covers are wrapped around me, and are so delicate and soft. The pattern is a screw now, but you can still see the lines of the black and white stripes. I turn around, slowly, as to not wake Jace. The duvet crumbles and then there is silence when I am fully turned over. He sleeps peacefully. His breaths are short and quick. Beautiful.

He mumbles something, snorts and then he slowly opens his eyes. I feel so lucky. I am the first thing that he sees. He instantly smiles once his eyes are fully opened. My heart flutters. I love the feeling. I love loving someone this much. I turn around to look at the clock. It read 7:15 am.

"Jace, how long does it take to get to school?"

"About half an hour. Why?"

"It's quarter past 7. We need to be at school at 8. I cannot get ready in 15 minutes!" I start to shout.

We both jump out of bed. I go into the shower first. I rinse my hair and then hop out of the shower quickly. Jace hops in after I have exited the bathroom. I throw my cloths onto my body and chuck my things into my bag. Jace exits the bathroom and gets dressed amazingly quickly while I do my hair and makeup. He does his hair fast and then we both brush our teeth. I look at his clock after and it read 7:35.

"We can grab some breakfast on the way!" Jace puffs.

I nod and we head downstairs. Jace grabs his keys from the kitchen side and we walk out of the door hand in hand. I am so in love with the person right beside me.

"I am so in love with you, T." Jace says to me and I squeeze his hand even tighter.

"I love you too, Jace."

He gives me a quick kiss.

"The bus!" He screams

We run to the bus, and jump on just as it leaves. We get a seat together. I'm so tired. I lean on his shoulder. I really want to sleep.
