Love, I'm Done (ON HOLD)

Chapter 12

Chapter 12

*If you skipped the second part of chapter 11, they just finished making love*

Jace lies down beside me.

'Em?' He says out of breath.

'Hmm?' I hum, not able to really find my voice.

He doesn't respond, so I look at him to see why. He's staring at me, as if he is trying to memorize everything about this moment and what had just happened.

'Uhm. Uh. Do, Do you regret what we just did?' He finally asks, he can't even look at me, as if he's afraid of my answer.

I touch his structured chin with my fingers and make him look at me when I say this so he knows I mean it.

'Most definitely not Jace. You were perfect and I love you. I don't regret it. Okay?' Then a thought comes to me, 'Do you regret it Jace?'

He looks shocked that I would even ask that, 'No! How could I regret that!? You are beautiful and sexy and I've been in love with you for a long time and I finally have you. I'm not letting you go. I'm not regretting anything, except that I didn't try to get you sooner. I'm glad you took my virginity and not anyone else. I love you Ember Rae Jaymes, I love you.'

My heart is swelling with a mix of love and hurt.

Love, because Jace is the sweetest guy I have ever met. We're laying together, naked, talking after we just made love and aren't even gawking at each other.

I'm hurting because, I took his virginity but.. He didn't take mine. I'm hurting cause why didn't I wait? Why didn't I stop Chad? Why did I let him take the most valuable thing that a girl has, her innocence.

'I love you too Jace.' I say with a simple smile, hoping he doesn't realize something is wrong.

He doesn't, at first, then he catches my eye and sees right through the fakeness.

'Whats wrong? Did.. Is it, is it something I did? I'm sorry please don't be upset.' He pleads to me.

'No no no, it's not you Jacey. I promise it's not. You're perfect.' I say kissing him on his cheek and then snuggling my face in the crook of his neck.

He sighs, 'Okay.' He grabs my hand and kisses it and rests in in his hand on his chest.

My eyes are slowly closing on their own accord, and soon I'm asleep in his arms.

*********************

The alarm startles both of us awake. We must have stayed up pretty late since we were about to sleep through the alarm.

I rolled over to Jace and hugged him tight, 'I don't wanna leave.'

'Neither do I babe, but we've both missed enough school.'

'I know.. Ughhhh' I say sleepily.

I get up and shuffle to the bathroom and Jace follows me.

'Uh. Whatcha do ya think you're doing Jace.?'

Jace just chuckles at me and grabs me from behind, around my waist and picks me up.

Then, I realize I'm still naked.

'Jaceee!' I screech. 'Im naked.!'

'I know.' He chuckles sexually in my ear.

'Jacee stop it!'

He turns me to face him and kisses me.

'Jace.'

'Hmmm?'
