At that moment, Jacob feels the full joy of spring. They were on the rooftop surrounded by candles and stars in the sky but he felt like there were also flowers blooming around him. He knows that she loves him, he can feel it. But it was different when she confessed.
"I know this may sound cliche but you just made me the happiest man in the world."
"Oh, God!" J rolled her eyes and it made Jacob laugh in delight.
"Thank you, Honey," Jacob said, full of affection.
"Thank you?" J scowled at him. Wasn't his reply supposed to be 'I love you too'? She thought internally. Before she could say something, Jacob beat her into it.
He chuckled. "And I love you too, my love."
Best Christmas Eve ever! J thought internally. But the night is long and Jacob has yet to complete his plans for the night.
For thirty minutes, the two of them just laid there, making out, casually chatting, and sometimes watching the stars silently.
