I noticed the toothbrush lying on the counter and I hurried over to grab it before making my way back to the sink. I washed my mouth before putting the toothbrush back onto the counter and turning to face Jake. I stepped closer towards him and wrapped my arms around his neck as he rested his palms on my hips and pulled me against him. He leaned forward and pressed his forehead against mine as we continued to stare into each other's eyes. My eyes fluttered shut and I couldn't help but smile softly as I enjoyed the moment. I didn't feel tired or sick anymore after getting a good night's rest and seeing Jake again. In fact, I actually felt quite well and happy.Then, without warning, Jake suddenly tightened his grip on me and buried his nose deeper into my hair. I felt his warm breath tickling my ear and shivered slightly as goosebumps formed all over my body. His breathing increased in speed and I heard a slight whimper escape his mouth. He didn't' seem like he was enjoying the kiss a
"Sorry, I tried sleeping in a little longer." He apologized sheepishly."That's okay." I smiled. "You needed the sleep after everything you went through.""Didn't want to wake you." He explained.I placed my fork down and grabbed another plate out of the cupboard. As I poured my food into my bowl, I noticed the bag on my desk that contained the necklace I'd bought yesterday. Without thinking, I walked over and grabbed it, examining it carefully. The charm hanging from the chain was silver."What do you think about this one?" I asked, pointing at the silver necklace.He leaned forwards and examined it closely."It looks nice." He commented.He returned to his chair and began eating his breakfast. When he finished eating, he leaned back in his chair and stretched his arms behind his head."So..." He hummed. "How was your first full week of vacation?""Pretty nice. I managed to get most of the things done that I wanted to do while on break. Well, except for homework, but I guess that'll
"Do you remember it?" He questioned, stepping closer to me.I looked up at him, my eyes filled with tears. Before I could answer him, he gently pulled me into his embrace. I buried my head into his chest and cried silently, allowing myself to soak up every ounce of comfort I could. Jake held me tightly, rubbing soothing circles on my back."Jake." I sniffled."Shh..." He said softly. "Don't cry, baby. I'm sorry.""Don't be... Just... Be gentle with me. Please." I begged.His grip tightened on me slightly."Whatever you say." He murmured.He pulled away from the hug and kissed me gently on the forehead. He cupped my face in his hands and gently wiped away a tear with his thumb. He gave me one last lingering glance before turning around and walking towards my bedroom. As he opened the door, I followed him in. He walked over to the bed and plopped himself down onto it. I followed suit, sitting next to him. After he lay down on the mattress, he looked up at me. His gaze travelled slowly
"Where are you going?" He inquired."To get some sleep." I told him.He raised his eyebrows skeptically."Why?""Because I'm exhausted." I chuckled."It's only 6pm." He pointed out."I know but I need sleep." I sighed. "Besides, I don't want you to think that I am enjoying this. I just want to make sure that I'm comfortable enough to fall asleep comfortably." I explained.I walked towards my closet and picked out a large hoodie. Then, I walked back over to Jake and laid on the bed, pulling my blanket up to my shoulders."Just give me a minute, okay?" I requested.He smiled fondly at me before nodding his head. He stood up from the bed, stretching his arms above his head."Okay. I'll see you tomorrow."Once he had left my room, I climbed into bed and immediately closed my eyes. Within minutes, I was out like a light.I awoke early the next morning. I rolled out of bed, heading straight towards the bathroom. After getting ready for school, I came back into the room, finding Jake already
"How was that?" He asked me.I nodded my head."Much better." I responded, smiling."I wish that I could spend the rest of eternity with you like this." He said quietly.I stared at him for a few seconds, wondering why he suddenly brought that topic up. However, I was glad that he did because I knew that I felt the same way. The last time we had done this... we hadn't exactly ended up being very happy. I remembered the way that he had held me and how scared I was that I would lose him. However, I also remembered how good it felt to feel his lips on mine. As I remember that moment, a smile crept onto my face. I could feel my cheeks heating up. It surprised me how easily I could become embarrassed. I knew that it was wrong, but I didn't care."I wish that we could stay here forever..." I mumbled.He smirked and shook his head before pressing his lips against mine once again. We stayed like this for a few more minutes before I pulled away. Jake smiled and rested his forehead against min
"So..." He cleared his throat nervously. "Are you hungry? I know that you don't eat anything in the morning anymore so?"He stopped talking as soon as he realized what he had said. His voice faltered and trailed off at the end, leaving him staring blankly at the floor. I couldn't help but laugh at his awkwardness. I loved hearing him stutter when he was trying to make conversation with me. I smiled and moved closer to him, wrapping my arms around his torso."It's ok Jake. You can say whatever you want." I reassured him.He looked over at me and smiled."Thanks." He muttered.We sat there for a few moments in silence. Jake leaned forwards and planted a quick kiss on my lips."Do you want to go anywhere today?" He asked me.I thought for a second."Why?" I wondered.He smirked slightly and shrugged his shoulders."You know, just somewhere fun. Wherever you want to go." He chuckled softly."That sounds great. But how about you pick out your clothes so that we can leave soon?" I suggeste
"Jake." I said quietly, breaking the silence between us.He didn't respond so I looked back at him and he still wasn't responding. His eyes were fixed firmly on the screen and he was shaking slightly."What are you staring at?" I asked softly, bringing my free hand up to caress his cheek gently.He didn't turn his attention from the screen and I could tell that he wasn't going to respond anytime soon so I decided to try again."Jake, are you okay?" I repeated, placing my index finger under his chin and turning his face towards mine so that I could see his eyes.He flinched when I touched him and pulled away from my touch. After taking a moment to compose himself, he turned back towards the screen and started to watch again."Are you scared?" I questioned.Again, he didn't respond, which prompted me to continue."You don't need to be scared, baby. I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."He continued to stare intently at the screen and didn't seem to be listening to me anymore.
It's been quite a while since we last saw each other. We both decided to visit one of the places we used to go to when we were kids. The place had changed quite a bit since I last visited it. There were less trees now and the only thing you could see were tall buildings which were probably filled with expensive shops or apartments. Now the only thing there was a bunch of big parking lots in front of the stores and a building that I guessed was the school. Jake parked his car in front of it and turned the engine off. We both climbed out of the car and made our way over to the trunk to grab our bags that had been left in the car. I picked up the bag containing most of my belongings and held the handle tightly in my hand.When we got inside the building and entered the main lobby area, I noticed that the entire place was almost completely empty. A lone receptionist sat behind a desk at the end of the hall we walked through and I looked around the lobby and noticed a lot of familiar face
