Falling for the escort

Chapter Twenty Seven - Acting strange

Mila's P.O.V

Jamie has been acting a little strange all day and I have no clue why. He wasn't in bed when I woke, he was busying himself with anything and everything which isn't like him. He seemed somewhere else in his own head.

"Jamie would you stop and tell me what the heck is wrong?" I asked as he cleaned the same worktop for the third time.

"Nothing I am fine babe..." he said looking at me before getting straight back to it

I went over to him, grabbing him and turning him to face me, taking the cloth from him.

"What is going on?" I said softly

"Did you hear what I was saying to you last night? Or were you actually sleeping?" He said

"The last thing I remember saying to you was I am gonna go to sleep now." I said "Why? What did you say?" I added confused

"Nothing, it don't matter." He said brushing it off

It was clearly something if he is freaking out about it. I am even more confused than what I was a few minutes ago.

"It is clearly something Jamie because you have been acting strange all day." I said

"Mila trust me it is better we leave it at this OK? I don't wanna mess everything up especially not as soon." He said

I really wanted to know what he was talking about but I never wanted to push him. I decided to drop it cause it is something he clearly doesn't wanna talk about whatever is going on. I nodded, leaning in to kiss him softly before pulling away, deciding to go for a shower and let him get back to whatever he was doing. I sighed as I stripped down, stepping into the shower. I was worried now. I was thinking about the worse things possible. Was he going to break up with me? Has he cheated? No he wouldn't cheat, he isn't that kind of guy but now I am going to be worried all day about what is going on in that head of his. I rested myself against the wall, the warm water relaxing the tension on my body. I was probably over thinking right?

I pushed all the bad thoughts to the back of my head, getting on with my shower, staying in there for an hour before heading out, getting myself into some comfortable clothes and lay down on the bed, playing with my phone. I decided to let him be and get on with whatever he was doing.

"Hey fancy some company?" I hear coming from the door

"You finished cleaning?" I said looking up at him

He sighed, running his fingers through his hair before he came over, climbing up the bed, and slipping in behind me, his arm going around my waist and his lips kissing over my shoulders.

"Mila I am sorry I have been acting strange all day." He said running his fingers up and down my arm

I sighed turning around to look at him

"I really think you need to tell me what is going on." I said

"I don't wanna scare you away and if I tell you then it will." He said sadly

I reached over, running my hand over his cheek.

"You can tell me anything Jamie, I am not going anywhere." I said

"You say that but when I do you will because you think I am crazy." he said

No seriously what the hell is he on about? He is making me paranoid and worried.

"Jamie just tell me OK? Because I am thinking things in my head that I shouldn't be. Do you not want to be with me anymore? Have you met someone else? Please tell me OK?" I said

"What? It is nothing of the sorts baby...Of course I wanna be with you and I don't want anyone else." He said leaning into kiss me softly

I relaxed a little, trying to work out what he was talking about then.

"Do you really wanna know what it is? Even though it could change everything?" He said

I nodded, nibbling on my lower lip due to nerves. He sighed, slipping his fingers through his hair and took a few deep breaths. He looked serious, then again the way he is acting it must be serious.

"I nearly told you I loved you last night." he said

Oh shit! That I was not expecting! I went into panic mode suddenly. He can't love me it has not been that long right? Actually who am I kidding, he and I both know there has been a special connecting between us from the moment we said hello to each other.

"See that is why I never wanted to say because you are freaking out and thinking about walking out the door." He said shaking his head going to get up from the bed.

I was not thinking about running at all, I was trying to process what he was saying to me. I grabbed him, stopping him from going.

"I am not thinking about running that was just the last thing I thought you were going to say." I said "And do you?" I added softly

"Do I what?" He asked a little confused

I giggled for a second...

"Love me?" I said

"I think I am falling in love with you Mila, there is not point me lying about that now." he said and I could sense how nervous he was about saying that.

I fell silent again, just looking at him. He was falling in love with me? Was I falling in love with him? I have never been in love. I know any time he is close my heart goes faster...know that every time he touches me it sends a shiver through me...every time his lips are on mine I go into another world and when we are having sex he does things to my body I never knew it was possible. He makes me crazy and I miss him when he isn't here. Is that what falling in love feels like? I think it does.

"I think I am falling in love with you too Jamie." I said nervously

"You are?" He asked

"I think so, I have never fell in love." I said

"Then tell me how you are feeling and I will let you know if that is what it is." He smiled

I nodded, explaining to him everything I felt around him, that I missed when he was not with me. By the time I was done explaining everything he was smiling. He placed his hand on my cheek, caressing it with his thumb.

"That is how I feel about you." He said "That is what falling in love feels like." He added

"Then yes...I am falling in love with you too." I said leaning over to kiss him

When our lips parted he pulled me close, snuggling me into his body. He stroked my hair and I smiled, the two of lying there in a perfect silence. If this is what falling in love feels like that it is pretty great that is for sure.
