Music Is My Romance

Chapter Six: Partner In Crime

I woke up in Jace's arms. Boy, is he comfy and he smells like heaven. God I need to stop being a boy obsessed teenager.

"Jace.." I say outstetching my arms.

"Hmm?" He said half asleep.

"Wake your butt up." I giggled.

"I don't want to. I'm too warm." He said in a raspy voice and smiled into the crook of my neck.

"Jace.. why do you have to be hanging on my girl?" Nathan said standing in front of us.

Oh no. Me, your girl?! You're out of your mind Nathan Williams.

"Oh, your girl?" Jace asked as he lifted his head up.

"Stop.." I said softly.

"Yeah my girl. Now get your hands off of her." Nathan argued.

"If she was your girl, why is she still sitting with me like this?" Jace asked with a sly smirk.

"Guys.." I said a little louder.

"She just likes you because your famous!" Nathan laughed.

Jace said nothing but the expression on his face told me how he felt.

"Nathan! I need to get three things straight. For one, I will never be your girl. Two, I liked Jace before I knew he was so called "famous". And three, he has an amazing personality, and if it came to me choosing between the both of you, I'd choose Jace." I smiled sweetly to be sarcastic and Jace's face lit up.

"See, told you she was mine." Jace said smiling and he hugged me close.

"Whatever!" Nathan said storming away.

"So, I'm yours?" I asked followed by a giggle.

"Sooo, you want some bacon?" He asked completely changing the subject.

"Hell yeah!" I Laughed.

"Good, go out there and make it!" He laughed and pointed out into the kitchen.

"Uhm, I don't know how to make it? My maid cooks for me" I say softly.

"Don't worry, I'll help."He said giving me a reassuring smile.

So there I was, standing by the stove with Jace's arms around me helping me flip the pan of bacon. He kept atempting to kiss my cheek but I caught him in his act and he would pretend to be doing something else like picking invisible lint of my shirt.

"Okay, it's done, let's turn off the stove before we end up eating it burnt" He smiled and turned off the stovetop.

"Here taste it, how did we do?" I asked putting a piece of bacon in his mouth.

"On the good side it isn't burnt. It's actually better then mom's cooking" he laughed popping another piece in his mouth.

"Yes! I am Carrie, the master of turning pig into bacon!" I giggled.

"You confuse me, but it's cute" he laughed.

"You wanna be my partner in the crime of turning pig into bacon?" I asked with a deep voice and chuckled.

"Can I eat all the bacon? If so, count me in!" He laughed.

"Oh Mr.Williams, you can have all the bacon in the world." We both laughed for a good ten minutes.

We had a whole conversation about pigs. Man, we are geeks. But he's my geek. I NEED TO STOP THINKING.

"Carrie, did you mean all the stuff you said to Nathan" Jace asked all of a sudden.

"Of course I did." I smiled.

"So you admit you like me?" He smiled and gave me a wink.

"Well,  no. Yeah, kinda." I said quickly.

"Tongue-Tied?" he asked.

"Yes. Atleast I admit to the things I do unlike you. I mean, you were too scared to kiss me on the cheek while we were cooking." I said slyly.

"You seen that?!" He asked embarrassed and he put his hand behind his head.

I love when he does that...

"Yep. And I don't find anything wrong about it.. just that you were too afraid to" I say biting my lip.

"I'm not afraid to, I just didn't want to make things awkward" He smiled and nudged me with his shoulder.

"Well excuse me while I make this awkward" I giggled and kissed his cheek.

He said nothing, but his face lit up with a red color.

"Say something or I'll do it again!" I laugh as he smiled and purposely stayed quiet.

So I went to kiss his cheek but he turned his head so my lips met his. At first my eyes flung open but then slowly fluttered shut as he moved his lips to kiss me and I moved back.

I know how cliché it is to say there are "sparks" when you kiss somebody but it really does feel that way. You want to pack every emotion that you feel into that one kiss...

"Carrie... remember earlier when you asked if you were mine?" He asked against my lips followed by a smile.

"What about it?" I ask.

"I was wondering if you actually wanted to be.." He got all serious and pulled away.

"Are you trying to asking me something?" I try to be clueless, but the smile on my face probably gives it away.

"Carrie, will you be mine?" He asked with a deep red face.
