Adopted by Colby

Jackson Spends The Night

Jackson's POV

I went back up to the room and opened the door, walking in and closing the door. I walked to the bed and sat next to her, putting the waters on the night stand. Turning my body over, I got into a comfortable position and sat there, admiring her beauty.

God, she's so beautiful.

For 10 minutes, I sat there and drifted off into a daze, thinking about her. I was pulled back into the realm of reality when Ellie moved a little, causing her hair to fall in her face. I pulled it behind her ear, exposing her tear-stained, red face.

"Ellie" I shook her slightly in attempt to wake her up. Nothing happened.

"Ellie!" I whisper/yelled, shaking her a little harder. Slowly, she opened her eyes.

"Ellie, are you alright?" I asked, worried.

"Jackson?"

Oh, thank god she's okay.

"You're still here?" She engulfed me in a hug. I was hesitant but, gave in and hugged back.

"Y-yeah. Colby invited me in," She let go.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Just did," I pointed out, causing Ellie to laugh, showing her dimples as her eyes glistened.

Her green eyes are so beautiful. They're like a jungle filled with so many mysteries hidden. The forest looked so deep you could easily get lost in them. Whenever a light shone in her eyes, they became more vibrant and showed the beautiful flowers that lie within. In the darkness, well, I can't tell. That's when the mysteries come out and block all light from showing, almost as if it's afraid of it's prey. Her eyes always showed confidence and sophistication but, you could see the shyness and fear. They were so intriguing and like a predator, could lure you in her little hypnotizing spell. Once you looked into her eyes, you couldn't look away. I love the way she looks at me with so much passion, happiness, energy, and care.

My god Ellie. What are you doing to me.

"I'm being serious here" Ellie complained, putting on her straight face again.

"Well so am I" I mocked, causing Ellie to smile and roll her eyes.

"Do you know who Colby is?"

"Of course I do. He's your dad, right?" I commented, avoiding the question. She'd probably leave me if I told her I knew who he was. I mean, just think. What if I were a crazy stalker fan? Then, she'd definitely not want anything to do with me.

"Do you know?" Ellie pressed, getting annoyed.

"Yeah" I sighed, averting my gaze to the floor. I didn't want to make eye contact. I was afraid of what she'd say. It was silent but, I felt her soft hands place themselves to either side of my face and pull me up to look at her.

Ellie's POV

"Its okay," I reassured Jackson. I looked him in the eye and he looked down at my lips before looking back up at me. Not gonna lie, I wanted to kiss him but, I wasn't gonna let him kiss me now. Not just yet. So, I decided to have a little fun and lean in.

Jackson's POV

Ellie was getting closer and closer to my face. I closed my eyes once our faces were about two inches apart. I didn't feel anything so, I opened my eyes just in time to see Ellie get up from the bed and leave the room. I sighed and looked down at my lap.
