Triplets (j.s.)

Chapter 18

Jacob pov

adeline was curled up in my arms as we were watching tv in her room. after our nap together, we have just been laying in bed. the warmth of our bodies spread to one another, making chills run from my shoulders to my toes.

i look towards adeline and stare at her side profile. the freckles that were on her nose and under her eyes were faint, but ever so adorable. her eyelashes were long and black, making her blue-green eyes pop out. her lips were such a beautiful shade of pink, plump and luscious.

i loved the when her hair was in her face and how she combed her fingers through it, flopping it on the top of her head. her hair was a brown, but had a glow of red in it.

adeline had turned towards me and smiled.

"do i have something on my mouth?" she asks, taking her sleeve and wiping her mouth. i laugh a bit seeing how concerned she is.

"no silly, nothing is on your face," i truthfully say and grab her hand, removing it from her face.

"i don't know if i should believe you," she says and looks at me with an amused look.

"oh really?" i question, returning her amused look.

"hey, you might just be saying that now, but if i go in public and people are looking at me, i will blame you," she says, trying to be serious but also trying to hide a smile.

"what!? if anything, people will be looking at you because of how beautiful you look. not because you have something on your face," i tell her.

she looks at me for a second and her eyes get big. but soon afterwords, a smile starts to appear on her face.

what'd i say?

"you know, i have rewind everything now because you decided to lie to me," she says with a giggle.

"well ouch," i respond, putting a hand on my heart in the process. she giggles and rewinds the tv, snuggling back into my chest in the process. she also grabs my arm and places it around her, making me feel butterflies.

i rub my hand up and down her arm, making sure she feels safe and secure. if she didn't feel safe around me, i don't know what i would do. she has become a huge part of my life, my top priority.

it killed me every time that she cried. i always feel like it's my fault, that i made her cry. her eyes get glassy and red, making me just want to hold her and kiss her, telling her it will all be okay.

but saying 'it'll all be okay' doesn't work. i know if doesn't. those are just words trying to convince you, but they aren't magic.

adeline has been through so much and i wish i was with her through the whole thing. i wish i could trade lives with her just so she didn't have to experience that. she's so young and has had more life events in her lifetime than a 50 year old.

adeline was beautiful. everything about her was beautiful. even the scars she had were beautiful.

i thank god every single day for letting me be the guy who saved her life. i'm glad i stopped her and didn't freeze. i'm glad i got to bring her to my place and treat her.

i'm glad she's still alive.

she has changed my perspective on everything. if i never met her - well, i don't know what i would do. i'd probably still be at the gym, hoping i could find someone just like her.

but i'm glad i found adeline, and only adeline. she's taught me so much, how one could go through so much.

i smile at the thought of her and kiss the top of her head, not thinking at all. she looks up at me and smiles, making me smile back. her pearly whites were glistening in the light as we made direct eye contact.

she leaned up and licked the tip of my nose, then laid back onto my chest where she originally was. some might think that was a weird gesture, but i didn't. i thought it was completely adorable.

when she did that, something had clicked. something that i've never felt before. something i wanna feel all the time.

Love.

after she licked my nose, i realized i loved her. i loved everything about her. but most of all, i loved her.

she is such a beautiful human being, such a blessing in my life.

i knew i liked her from the minute i met her, the minute i looked into her gorgeous eyes. i knew that somehow - she would be something so special.

it's definitely weird thinking about how i realized i love adeline, but it's such a great feeling.

this is one more secret to keep from her, but hopefully i will tell her soon. hopefully i'll get the guts to kiss her one day.

hopefully get the guts to her her i love her.
