Walls

Chapter 7 part1

Since then, Jace and I grew closer together if that is even possible because we were close even before.

We were almost together all the time.

We cuddle, hug and kiss all the time.

I am personally not a fan of public display of affection though I like holding his hands a lot. Him on the other hand is very showy. He likes hugging and kissing me, in public and more in private.

I talked to him how I felt about public display of affection and told him to at least control himself when we are in public. He agreed only after laughing and thousand of bargaining. His condition in controlling himself is if I would agree to meet his family.

That made happy. I am glad that I can finally meet his parents. His older sister is already based in Thailand, where she met her husband, so I cannot meet her soon but I'm still happy.

Jace and I were talking about our plan in meeting his parents. He scheduled it next month after I settled with work. The result of my exam will be posted tomorrow.

As I came across that thought. I felt uneasy again.

I am nervous. I want to work as a nurse here. That is my passion. But though I am hoping to have a positive result, I still prepared myself for the negative. Jace has offered a position in the restaurant he worked in if ever I got rejected.

"You'll do okay." I heard him say to me. As if he could read my mind.

I just smiled. We are in my couch sipping wine as we talk.

"Jace can you do me a favor?"

"Sure."

"Can you stay for tonight please?"

I want to be with Jace especially tonight. I don't know how I'll feel when I'm alone. I don't know if I can sleep with how nervous I am.

"Sure." He said warmly.

After he got his things from his place and got ready to sleep, he joined me in my bed. We both agreed he'll sleep with me in my bed.

Having Jace lying in bed with me is comforting. Though I can't deny there is a thin tension between us, because its  basically our first time to lay beside each other in the same bed.

I went near him and hugged him.

I felt his arm wrapped over me.

This is what I need.

Jace has made everything easier.

I used to handle all of my emotions alone and now I have Jace to share all of those with.

I for sure opened my inner self to him.

He earned it.

He didn't asked for it. I didn't gave it to him. It just happened. I just came to realize I've opened my whole self to him. I've shared to him all of my secrets. And he gladly accepted everything.

I can put my defenses down because I know he is here protecting me.

I closed my eyes and instantly felt asleep.
