The Curse Of A Certain Star

CHAPTER 12✨ALMOST FADED

Clarisse's POV

I awoke to soft sheets, and the morning light trickled in through the blinds. My eyes were still closed while I enjoy the sound of the relaxing waves. After a moment, I blinked my eyes several times before it finally sinks into me that I have been laying on Jasper's arm and I can smell his sandalwood scent as my face is in front of his manly chest. At the same time, I've been hearing Jasper's soft breathes as he sleeps calmly.

I tried to slowly remove my left leg which was laying on top of his hip. I moved away a little so I could stare at the best view of him. Then, I almost facepalmed when I suddenly remembered what happened last night. Right before we sleep I put some pillows between us, it was our borderline since we're both sleeping on the same bed. But it ended up being useless because I freaking woke up in an embarrassing position.

Waking up beside Jasper is very unusual for me. But at the same time, I feel happy to see him beside me while we're both getting cozy being on the same bed. The tranquility of his aura when he sleeps is pleasing in the eyes. His slightly pinkish lips which absolutely suits with his smile, perfect jawline, pointed nose, his long cute eyelashes and especially his messy morning hair. I slowly massaged his hair and somehow moved it sideways. I shockingly put my hand away from his hair when I saw his chestnut brown eyes staring straight at me.

"Good Morning, Clarisse bella." He greeted showing off his attractive smile with his dimple. I gulped as I was stunned at my place when he suddenly moved closer to me. The space between us could be approximately 3-2 inches. His breathing and soft chuckle would make me melt on this bed any minute now.

"Can you continue what you were doing earlier to me?" His teasy morning voice is undeniable, ugh!

I blinked for a second, "Huh? What are you talking about?" I deniably asked, turning back at him.

"Oh, my in denial Princess! Silly you!" He tickled me when I was unguarded!

"Geez! Jasper!" I shrieked while breathing in between, "Stop it, goshness!" I can't stop myself from laughing so hard. I tried my best to tickle him back but he's just so powerful than me.

I reach out to the mug of coffee which Jasper made for me. I took a sip and enjoyed the delicious taste of it as I felt the lukewarm heat on my lips and tongue. I closed my eyes and start appreciating the aroma of it. It smells like incense brushed over an altar. I set the mug down and look towards the busy Jasper preparing his own coffee.

"Thank you, Jasper." I delightfully whispered into his ear.

"No worries, anything for you, Princess." He slightly pinched my cheeks while exposing his attractive smile.

I just pouted and touched my poor red cheeks after he attacked them. When I was about to get a slice of bread, our hands accidentally met, or should I say Jasper planned it to happen.

"Scusi, Principessa (Excuse me, Princess). You're blushing." He's teasing me again.

"Sheesh! I'm not blushing because of what you purposedly did. You squeezed my cheeks earlier." I gave him a frowning glance but he just chuckled at me.

"Sorry," He kissed my left cheek, "Princess." Then swiftly moved at the right side and did the same.

My eyes were left wide open with those sudden morning kisses he just gave me! After it sank in what he did to me, I smack his arms a few times but I know those kisses won't be refunded anymore.

"Oof! You've become red even more." The smirk on his lips can be seen, then his annoying yet charming laughs filled our room.

"Baliiiiw! (Crazyyyy!)" I screamed.
