My Abused Love

Chapter 4. What is she hiding?

Jace's P.O.V.

This past two days have been so... I don't know the word for it... Different I guess? Shayla is driving me crazy! I'm not even sure what to make of this....

All we've done is watch movies, cuddle, go to bed, not being able to sleep so we end up sleeping together... I love it but at the same time it's strange being how she hasn't mentioned going home once... Don't get me wrong, I love her being here, but its just strange!

Right now I'm just laying here on the bed, while she is fast asleep in my arms. Since she didn't have any other clothes with her, she has been wearing my clothes.

It is honestly, so freaking hot seeing her walk around in my just my shirt. It reaches her mid-thigh and holy sh*t does she look great in it.

I'm still sitting here watching her sleep... Gosh Damn it! I'm such a stalker! I need to just get up and leave the room...

I squeeze out from under her and up off the bed. I stood there for a second and looked at her. Smiling, I look at the clock which says 8:45am and walked out of the room.

I absent mindedly sat on the couch. I really need to get my head straight, ever since Shayla came I don't know what I'm thinking.

I decide just to get a drink of water and calm down. So I think that I like her and I just need to figure out what the hell is the catch with her... Subtly of course.

Shayla's P.O.V.

I woke up alone so I just got up and threw on the clothes Jace left out for me. He's so sweet but WAY out of my league, Plus he doesn't know my secret and I don't plan on telling him.

I walked into the kitchen to find Jace standing with an unreadable expression on his face...

"Good Morning.... Are you ok?" I asked.

"What are you running away from Shayla?" He replied alittle too quickly.

"Woah there tiger!"

I laughed trying my hardest to hide my astonishment. "Slow down! Why do you think I'm running from something?" I said giggling obviously fake because I do NOT giggle.

"I'm saying that you've been here for 2 days and haven't once mentioned going home," He paused realizing how much of an ass he just sounded, "That is not what I meant! I love having you here it's been great! I'm sorry shayla, I'm just confused most people would at least mention their house, family, or school once!" He said nervously.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have stayed, I-I don't know what I was thinking..." I said I should just get my stuff and leave. I started walking down the hall towards the guest room in search for my stuff.

"Wait Shayla! What are you talking about?" He said urgently following me into the room. I found my clothes and slipped on my shorts underneath his shirt, then throwing off his shirt and putting mine on.

"Shayla! You're not going anywhere! J-just please explain! I can't loose you..." He trailed off, his chest rising and falling rapidly.

I tried to walk around him but failed and within seconds found myself up against the wall, pinned there by Jace who still has not found a normal breathing pace.

" I said, your not going anywhere with out telling me what the hell is going on here Shayla!!" He bellowed which scared me given our close proximity.

"Jace I don't HAVE to tell you anything!! And frankly its pissing me off that you think I do! I'm obviously in your way so I'm leaving!! Got it?! Good!!" I yelled pushing him away and running down the hall and out the back door.
