Touch (Jerrie Fanfiction)

Chapter 62

Perrie's POV

I kept stuffing myself, trying to focus on the dull taste of the food instead of the savoury taste of the soft lips that belongs to the  beautiful brunette who was sitting next to me. If I took one more glance at those lips, I would have lost all my self-control and pounded on her and have another make-out session, which would be totally inappropriate as we were all having dinner.

I thought it was the perfect idea to use the mistletoe to distract her from looking for her phone and finding out what we have been up to (and also get myself lots and lots kisses)..but the only thing I forgot to put into consideration was how addicted I would be when her lips kept kissing me over and over again which now it is like air to me...although ironically air is the reason why our lips had to break apart. How I wish I can feel those lips on mine right now. Every second our lips apart is a torture to me.

I knew she is distracted too. I could feel her incremental eagerness and enthusiasm the more we kiss, she caught me off guard a few times when I didn't even need the mistletoe to do the magic and her lips were already on mine, her small hands firmly cupping my cheeks to make sure our lips remained connected as long as we could. Gosh I have to stop thinking about her lips.

There is also another thing that occupying my mind right now. The Proposal. Every single one of the kisses we shared today, I was tempted to get down on my one knee and poured all my heart in the most important speech in my life that could possibly make her my fiancé, but held back the urge as I reminded myself I have to stick to the plan. I don't remember which kiss it was but there was one time I let the words slipped out of my mouth. 

Marry me Jade. 

I breathed out against her lips before our lips separated. My eyes widened when she opened her eyes staring at me with those captivating brown eyes, not knowing if she heard me or not. Luckily she didn't hear the exact words so I said "Merry Christmas Jade' and she seems to believe me that's what I have just said. Luckily, I don't have to bite my tongue any longer as the time will come very soon once we finished the dinner.

"Is everybody finished?"

My dad asked, his eyes scanned across the dining room and everybody gave him a nod as  a response. His eyes landed on me at last, I bit my lip and gave him a nod to let him know I am ready. He gave me an encouraging and reassuring smile which calmed me a little bit, and it's not only him, everybody in the room are sending me a warm smile to show their support as they clearly knew it's about time.

"Everybody heads to the living room it's present time!"

------------

My nerve is getting worse when everybody started unwrapping their presents. My present for Jade will be last because of my surprise, so Jade was drawn to be the last one to open her presents on purpose, she was not happy about it as she was dying to see what she had got. I just hope she will love my present.

"Perrie you are next!"

My mom grinned and handed me all my presents. I nodded and started unwrapping the presents with my shaky hands, excited to find out what I have got but at the same time feeling anxious to know Jade is the only one left in the room yet to open hers. I got some Disney and Olaf stuffs, clothes and accessory, and some dog clothes and toys which I immediately whined at Jonnie as strictly those should be counted as Hatchi's presents not mine.

And then there was one present left, wrapped so nicely and almost too perfect in the blue sparkling paper, which I intentionally left for last as it was from my Jadey. I giggled and brushed my thumb at the big red heart that was drew on the paper, carefully unwrapping the paper not wanting to ruin it. I took a glance at Jade and she was fiddling her fingers, anxiously waiting for my reaction. She shouldn't be nervous at all as I don't really care what she gave me, I love it as long as it's from her.
