Walls

Chapter 4 part1

The next day I found Jace on my door step.

I am relieved.

I was somehow worried with the way he acted before he left last night. I am worried he will start to act differently with me. I am afraid he would act cold towards me. He is my best friend. I cannot afford losing him.

He acted pretty much the way he was before. He still act sweet towards me the same if not more than he used to be. He just seemed to constantly making a way so we could be physically in contact.

"Is there something wrong?" I just have to ask him.

He was surprised.

He looked at me then smiled.

"Nothing is definitely wrong Danielle."

I pouted. I know something is up. I just don't know what it is.

"Stop pouting or I'll kiss you." He said to me staring at my lips.

I made a puzzled face.

He laughed.

"You're terribly cute." He told me.

I blushed.

What is so wrong with this guy that makes him tease me?

"You look more cute when you blush." He said while leaning forward towards me.

His face was so close into my face. I just felt my cheeks went warmer.

He chuckled as he poke my blushing cheeks with his finger. He still held that close distance between our faces.

"H-hey.. stop it." I said as I gently pushed him.

He just chuckled without leaving his gaze at me.

I felt extremely conscious with myself right now.

I tried to excuse myself and went to the bathroom.

I heard him laugh as I closed the bathroom door.

***

Jace didn't tease me again as I went back. He stayed all afternoon in my place while we watch movies.

After the 4th movie, Angels and Demons, we've decided to turn the television off.

My eyes are tired from watching all afternoon that I've decided to close my eyes.

"Sleepy?" I heard Jace asked me.

I simply shook my head.

"My eyes are just tired. I just want to rest them." I said.

"Would you like me to leave?"

"No."

I felt him move closer besides me. He shifted my head towards his chest as he wrapped his arms around me. I moved towards him adjusting myself so I can rest my head in him comfortably.

I can feel him breathe. I can almost hear his heartbeats. It just felt so warm and comforting.

I felt that he let out a sigh.

"So, Danielle, what are you looking for in a guy?" He asked.

I opened my eyes and found him staring from afar.

He shifted his gaze towards me to meet my eyes.

There is something in his eyes that I cannot understand.

"Hey close your eyes. Rest it for a while." He told me as he gently closed my eyes with his other hand.

I closed my eyes again and leaned against him.

"So?" He asked again.

"I don't know."

"You don't know?" He asked me.

"I don't know. I don't know if there could possibly be someone I exactly want."

"Which is?" He asks.

"I just want someone to be with for a life time. Someone who will make my life happy. Someone I can get along really well. Someone who understands me. Someone who can be my best friend/ partner/ protector. Someone who will take care of me. Someone who will protect me. Someone who will never leave my side. Someone who will stand with me forever. Someone who just truly cares and would love me endlessly."

"I just wanted someone who I can be weak without worrying about my welfare because I know that someone will be protecting me." I added in my thoughts.
