Chapter 27- A Night Alone

Chapter 27 

A/n

Well guys, it's been a very hard month or so living alone and dealing with things, but in honor of me getting my first death threat because of this book, I thought I'd sit down and write a chapter out of spite. So thank you so much to the oh so gorgeous soul that described how they would commit a felony with my death if I didn't do it myself, this chapter is for you LOL 

Kayla's PoV: 

Jasper clasps his hand back around mine and pulls me to him. My hands land on his chest and our lips are centimeters apart. 

"Jasper…"

"You are going to be the death of me Kayla," Jasper says as he lets his head fall back, breaking the tension between our lips. Giggling, I rest my head on his chest and feel the literal pounding of his heartbeat. "Fine, I will stay the night, but nothing is going to happen" my head jumps up from his chest to protest, but all I see is his eyebrow raised at me. "You just said you didn't know what you could handle, my dear. It would be quite contradictory of you if you challenged me on this one," I groan and nod, walking through the door and fall onto the bed. Jasper closes the door behind him as he walks in. 

"Can we at least cuddle?" I ask as Jasper sits on the couch, pulling out his phone. When he doesn't answer, I look up to see him typing away at his phone, "Is everything okay?" 

Looking up from his phone, he smiles, "Yeah, I was just letting Gemma know that I won't be coming back for quite a while, if at all tonight," 

"Okay, just making sure," he puts his phone down to look at me. I grab his hand and pull him to me and he wraps me in his arms. I get lost in the smell as it cascades over me, breathing in deeply to soak up as much as I can. His heartbeat fluctuates in speeds as I nuzzle my head into his chest, "I'm sorry for all of the craziness you've dealt with." 

"What do you mean?" He asks, loosening his grip to look down at me. 

"Just, everything, you know? Like, you came here wanting to be paired with someone who knew what they wanted and could learn with you, and you did. Now you're here hugging me and ignoring her right after we've finished up a whole friggen trial. This isn't exactly picture perfect," I look away and let go, feeling guilty once again that I'm taking him away from Gemma. 

"Kayla listen, I don't know what happened in regards to the administration, but everyone knew we were supposed to be together. Gemma even mentioned it night one that it was okay for me to want you more. I don't know why, but I am drawn to you in a way I've never been drawn to someone before," he gently but firmly grabs my chin and makes me look him in the eyes "You may look at us as see something broken, I just see something beautiful, something worth fighting for." Bending down, he kisses my forehead while I laugh, still unable to move my jaw because of his hand. He uses this immobility to kiss all over my face until I am giggling and squirming like crazy, "I could listen to you laugh for hours," he says as he stops, giving me one final kiss on the tip of my nose. 

"Have I ever told you that you're a dork?" 

"I would be concerned if you didn't think that hun. Now, let's get you to bed my dear," opening up the drawers, he starts ruffling through some of my things, clearly looking for something. I flinch reactively, scared he's going to pull out something like Greg made me wear, but instead I'm pulled out of my head by Jasper throwing a Winnie the Pooh onesie and some fuzzy socks at my head, "Go get changed, I'll be here when you get done." 

Listening to him, I rush into my bathroom and change, quickly taking the time to fix my hair slightly. I'm not trying to look cute, because he's already seen me in such a mess, but I want to look at least semi good.

When I walk back into the room, Jasper is there laying on the bed already pulling up a TV show for us to watch. He's got some snacks and some drinks on the bed and it just reminds me of those pictures that people would look at as kids on Pinterest thinking this is what relationships we're going to look like.

Try as hard as I might, laying in his arms was so peaceful and so relaxing that it was impossible for me to not fall asleep. As I lay there drifting off the thoughts of what this is and how we should move forward cloud my head.

Hey guys sorry this took so long! My mental state has not been where it needs to be, September's are always a really bad month for me and I just wanted to apologize for how long it took for this chapter to actually get done again. The death threats were actually a giant motivation for me I made it a joke with my friends that now I'm a 'real author" because someone wants me dead because of the work that I'm doing that for my own mental health. SO this is fun, 

Honestly tho, I genuinely love writing, it is my favorite thing to do and no one's going to stop me, so let's see what happens next!

Love you always,
