Room #12 [hiatus]

Chapter 43: Platonically ?

It's 6 am in the morning and guess whose is drunk and in Jace's yellow t shirt that he gave me and shorts that's waddling across the street to him.

Tehe yeah meeeeee

Even though I fell asleep beside Mariana for a couple hours the thought of Jace kept running through my mind until eventually I woke up. If it was any other day , I would just read until I fell asleep again but fuck it, It's Christmas ! So , I sneaked out of Mariana's bed and I made my way down to the wine cooler. Probably wasn't the best idea because one and a half bottles of wine later and Jace still won't get out of my head. So like a smart cookie I decided to confront him myself.

I made my way up to his front door and I knocked as loudly as I could.

"KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!" I yelled.

Wait - ha silly you're not suppose to say it !

Smiling to myself I raised my hand to knock the door but a very grumpy and sleepy Jace stood there instead.

" Hey you didn't let me physically knock," I said pouting while I fold my arms.

" Elle what are you doing here ? Are you drunk?"

" No I'm Elle...." I said genuinely confused.

Jace rolled his eyes and gently pulled me up to his room.

" You have to be extra quiet ok , my mom is actually home tonight." He said trying to lead me to his room.

" Ou mama Jace is here!" I said excitingly.

" Elle be quiet She might wake up !" He said placing me on the bed and then closing his door.

" What's going on why are you drunk?" Jace asked folding his arms.

" Oh right !" I said jumping off the bed. " I came to tell you to get out of my mind so I can sleep" I said with the widest grin.

" Get out of your mind ?" He questioned.

" Yes, out of my mind. You have been in it all day , stop it. I'm trying to get over you." I said pouting.

"What about your boy-"

" Shhhhhhhh we not talking bout him right now. My boYfrIend is fineeeeee."

" Why you say boyfriend like that ?" He said while narrowing his eyes

" Why you asking so much questions?" I said copying him.

" You're hysterical." Jace said walking over to his bed.

" I though I was drunk?" I said going to lay down beside him.

" What are you doing ?" He asked turning to me.

" Cuddling duh." I said burying my head deeper into his chest.

Mmmm vanilla

" We can't do that Elle. We both aren't single."

Hehe silly goose I'm very single. WAIT he doesn't know that

" Fine we can cuddle platonically. We've done it before." I said falling asleep.

" Yeah and then we ended up in court."

" Yeah ....that chapter was wild!"I said laughing.

" Wait what ?"

" Nothing ! Any who I sleepy."

Jace finally giving up he wrapped his arms around me. Platonically of course.

Jace

" Just so you know I'm doing this platonically." I said pulling Elle closer to me.

I miss when our friendship was like this... before all the feelings.

" Hey Elle ?" I said hoping she's still awake.

" hmm" she mumbled.

" How does this help you not think about me." I said while petting her head.

"It doesn't but you smell nice."She said sleepily.

I laughed at how cute she was and out of impulse I kissed her forehead.

Platonically?

" Goodnight ... I love you Jace." Elle mumbled.

Awwww she said she - WAIT WHAT

" Elle ! Wait what you say ?" I said but, I was too late. Elle was completely fast asleep and was lightly snoring.

Oh shit. Elle loves me....
