You're the only one I choose

Chapter 9 - Perspective

"Ja-Jac- Jacobbbb?? What are you doing here? At this time?" I gaped at him. My mouth wide open. He was standing on my balcony trying to balance. It looked like he was drunk.

I opened the door and tried to let him in by nudging him towards the door. He stopped to look at me.
"How are you so beautiful? With such simplicity? Why did I never meet you before?" he asked me looking in my eyes while he was still struggling to stand straight considering he was so drunk that I could smell the alcohol.

I felt my cheeks heat. I blushed hard at his comment. I moved my gaze away from his eyes because I felt nervous after this comment. Nobody has ever called me beautiful before. All I was called was 'the bookworm' who was into her studies and future all the time. Why would he say something like this? But the more important question is what is HE doing here??

"Earth to jennnnnyyyyy" he snapped me back from thoughts, emphasizing on the 'n' like a two year old.

"You're drunk Jac, lets get you inside. Its cold out here" I said to him before we went into my room and I closed my balcony door.

He moved around the room looking at the pictures hanging around the wall.
"Cute!!" he exclaimed looking at my 6 year old photo
"Pretty"
"That's funny" he blurt out and went on seeing all my childhood pictures one by one.

After he finished "analysing" my room, he turned towards my direction and slowly came to me.

"And now, Hot!" he whispered in my ear. His lips so close to my ear and his body almost close to mine. I felt a chill run down my spine.

I pushed him away from me. He looked shocked at first and then had a confused look on his face.

"First things first, sit down" I ordered him pointing towards the bed as he took off his jacket. Oh wow! He looked so good. He was wearing black skinny jeans and a blue denim shirt, sleeves folded. His hair was messy but he still looked like a greek god. How is that even possible? As compared to him I was wearing warm panda leggings and a peach hoodie. Well? What do ya expect? Its night-time. Nobody wears fancy clothing at night. Although judging from his clothes, it seemed like Jacob came from a bar or something. But then again, I really can't tell by his face as he always keeps this neutral expression that is quite difficult for me to decipher.

"If you're done checking me out, can you speak now?" he answered all of a sudden.

Oh no! I did it again. Why do I always get lost in my thoughts? I look at him now sitting at my bed, arms folded, still looking at me for an answer.

"Yeah s-so where w-was I?"I blurt out before even thinking twice. He chuckled at me. Why am I soooo awkward?

I crossed my hands across my chest and moved to sit beside him. "Well Jacob, firstly tell me, what are you doing here at this time? Secondly, wouldn't Sarah be alone at night? And third,. And why would you behave like that in school with Rick? And what did you mean in car when you said I was yours? And why are drunk? Wait? Were you drunk driving??? Because that's not safe at al-"

"Woah, woah babe. Calm down. So many questions." he said to me while he moved his hand to mine to calm me down.

He called me Babe. That's so cute. I felt my heart flutter at his words. And a shade of pink appeared on my cheek. But wait, I still can't forget what I decided - to be just friends. That's all!

"Well I can't answer your question one by one because they are a lot to remember" he chuckled "but to sum it all up, I just want to tell you something." he said now with a sincere look on his face.

Before speaking further I heard him whisper to himself "here goes nothing..."

"I don't know what I'm doing here right now, or what I should be doing next. All I remember is that I was in a bar drinking.. thinking about today's incident... thinking about..you! Sarah is staying at a friend's place today. So I got a chance to get some alone time and ended up at the bar. After a few drinks, I felt tired. So I got out of the bar and let my heart take over and here I am. After reaching here, I stood in front of my car thinking why am I here? Why am I feeling like this? That's when I saw you through your window. You were dancing with your headphones on and jumping on the bed. You looked so beautiful and cute and happy and that made me so happy. All I could think was how all my tension vanishes when I see you. How I feel so comfortable and relaxed when I'm around you. How if anyone ever comes near you, I feel like protecting you and keeping you near to me and that's what happened with Rick. I don't want any guy to look at you or even think about you. I don't know what I feel or why I feel.. I just know that I lo-" he paused to look at me.

I was tearing. Literally crying at his beautiful words. Apart from my studies and family and friends nobody else was important to me. And nobody apart from them gave any importance to me either. Everybody just used me.. for their homework or their own selfish needs. But this time I felt different. Good different. I felt adored and cared. And I-I g-guess I care about him too!!!

I don't know what came over me next but I threw myself at him and wrapped my arms around his neck. He was taken aback at first but then wrapped his arounds my waist and pulled me closer to him. His head on the crook of my neck. I felt him smile. I felt myself smiling too.

I just wanted to stay like this... with him... Forever....

Whats going to happen now in Jacob and Jen's life?
