Chapter Five

Haven's Point of view//

I woke up the next morning with two strong arms wrapped tightly around me. I rubbed my eyes and looked up at Jason's sleeping face, smiling softly. My fingers went up to his lips and traced the outline of them lightly, watching him quietly. He looks so peaceful, like he doesn't have a care in the world. 

His eyes opened slowly and he blinked a few times before looking at me. "Hey," he mumbled sleepily. 

I smiled and whispered, "Hey."

He sat up, looking down at me. "Did you sleep good, baby girl?" I nodded and rolled over onto my side, hopping off of the bed. 

"I slept great."

"Good." He stood up and walked over to me, picking me up. I squealed and giggled, holding onto him. He started walking down the steps as my fingers ran through his hair slowly. His lip went into his mouth while his teeth bit into it. I licked my lips and looked away. 

"So um... Do you want some breakfast?" I asked him. He nodded slowly and put me down so I could walk over to the kitchen. I pulled out sausage links and eggs, placing them on the kitchen counter. "Is this alright?" I looked up, leading my eyes over to him. He smiled and nodded, wrapping his arms around my waist from behind. I leaned into him slightly as I cracked a few eggs into a bowl. 

"C-Can we t-talk?" he whispered into my ear, stuttering slightly. I laughed lightly, turning around in his arms and looking up at him, nodding my head up and down. 

"Go ahead, love."

He took a deep breath and looked into my eyes before speaking up. "Haven Marie Smith, I-I love you. And when I say that I love you, I mean that I'm in love with you. I'm in love with everything about you. Your beautiful smile, and the way your hair falls over your face while you're sleeping. The pout you give me when you don't get your way. And I love just.. I love being with you..." He blushed before continuing, "N-No one's ever given me these feelings before, not even Kennedy. I mean, I'm Jason McCann. I don't love, but with you it's a different story. I'm in love with you, and I don't know why it took me so long to realize it."

The sides of my lips turned up before I was even able to comprehend what I had just listened come out of my best friend's mouth. 

"I love you, too, Jason Alexander McCann." 

He grinned and picked me up, spinning me around once before setting me down on the counter. I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck as his lips moved closer to mine. Was he...? 

And then I felt his soft lips touch mine. I pulled him closer to me and moved my lips against his, closing my eyes tightly. The feelings going off in my stomach right now are unexplainable. It's not butterflies, or any other feeling I've ever felt with a guy before. It's love. Because I'm in love with my best friend, and he feels the same way.

He pulled away slightly, pecking my lips once and whispering, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

I smiled and nodded my head, hugging him tightly.
