the love we're hoping for is dying

Chapter six - A happy Christmas

Ophelias PoV

Jake and I must have fallen asleep on the sofa last night as I clearly wasn't in my bedroom snuggled up in my soft covers. Instead, Jake and Is legs were intwined messily.

Its Christmas. It hit me like a punch to the face. I gasp loudly and shake Jake awake. He grumbles annoyed, but soon realises he's not in his own flat. His eyebrows furrow in confusion and a look of regret flashes over his face before he realises nothing happened. His face relaxes and he sits up slowly, shaking his hair from his eyes.

"Merry Christmas!!" I shout loudly into Jakes ears. He shoots me daggers, but soon after mumbles out a 'joyful' merry Christmas. I chuckle at him and untangle myself from the mess of our bodies.

"Would you like some breakfast?" I raise my eyebrows waiting. Jake nods in response whilst yawning. I take it he's not a morning person.

"Not a morning person?" I ask chuckling. He glares at me in response causing me to laugh again.

"Bacon sandwich ok with you?" I shout from the kitchen. I get a grunt in response. I take that as a yes and work my magic- yes I just said that.

A few minutes go by and I hear Jake slouch into the kitchen and heave himself into a chair.

"Help yourself to a drink Jake"

"Thanks" he mumbles very clearly still not awake.

I place two plates down and slump into my chair. Jake thanks me quickly and bites into his sandwich. I shake my head at him chuckling.

"How are you spending Christmas Jake?" I ask trying to make conversation.

"Alone" he replies.

"Me too" I say giving him a small smile.

"Well I suppose not anymore then." He says. I raise my eyebrows in response.

"Unless you want to spend it alone" he says putting his hands up in defence. I scoff.

"Of course not" I say.

"Well, alright then. We can spend it together" he says. I smile at him.

"Im glad we met Jake" this causes a small smile to appear on Jakes lips.

"Me too Ophelia me too" he says in reply. I smile at him and he smiles back. We sit in a nice, peaceful silence whilst both of us finish eating.

"So, how do you want to spend this Christmas?" Jake asks looking up at me.

"In bed" I chuckle in reply. He sniggers, but agrees.

"Doing what exactly?" He asks smirking. I respond by letting out a gasp and hitting him on the arm.

"Jake!" I say trying my hardest not to burst out laughing. Jake snorts and laughs at my response.

"Well, you didn't specify" he says shrugging. I chuckle at him and shake my head. I really was glad that I had met Jake.

Jake and I spent our day watching films on the sofa together before us both falling asleep peacefully on the sofa.
