I knew I didn't want to go back to sleep. I sat up, I started walking downstairs, I knew it wouldn't be long until he would be following me.
I walked to the kitchen. Opened up the fridge and grabbed the cake. I sit on top of the counter and start eating the chocolate cake. The sugar made my body feel good like I was missing it.
Jax walked through the kitchen door.
He looked at me and laughed "Good cake?"
I smiled, offering a bite to him. Figuring he wouldn't accept I was surprised to see him actually accept.
I laughed, repeating "Good cake?"
He smiled. We both shared my piece of cake. At moments I felt like I was going to forget to breathe as his fingertips trailed around my legs. At that moment I realized he has the same effect on me as I have on others. I am drawn to him. Even when he makes me crazy I still want to be around him.
"Indie, will you please tell me what is wrong," he asked.
I looked at him. "Only if you get me a glass of milk." I countered back.
He laughed and nodded. So I proceeded to tell him about my dream and how I never went back to my room. How "he" was there and he was just waiting for me. Waiting to take me.
He nodded, "I know that I have said this before but it was just a dream. I noticed that you haven't been sleeping well lately, maybe we should go see the doctor." he suggested.
He hands me the glass and I take a big drink, I hand it to him. He laughs as he wipes the milk from my upper lip. I laughed and blushed crimson.
"Jackson, no doctors! I am fine. I just have been overdoing it. Things are just crossing all over the place, I don't know maybe because we aren't far from where I used to live, maybe it's the town, maybe it's the weather. Just no doctors." I said.
He nodded and looked down. I slid off the counter and grabbed his wrist.
"Jackson, I know you are worried but once this job is done I can really rest. Please, please, I beg you to get us a vacation. Tell them that I need time off!" I pleaded.
He laughed and just like that his eyes bore into my eyes something I thought I would never see. I couldn't help it but I looked away. He grabbed my chin and right then and there I had to think 'BREATHE INDIANA BREATHE!' My fingers gripped his wrist. His heart rate was steady, something that I can't say for myself.
"Have I told you how beautiful you are, Indiana?" he whispered to me
I thought my legs were made of jell-o.
I rolled my eyes "Of course this is all just a dream!" I said with a laugh.
He laughed "Indie, this isn't a dream!" he said with a smile.
Then just like that he leaned down and kissed me. The kiss was passionate and full of hunger.
I woke up in Jackson's room. I sat up and for the first time he was still beside me. I decided I need to get up and shower. I kissed his cheek and wandered down the hall to my room. My room felt like I have been gone for years but how could that be when I was just down the hall. I slipped off the shirt I was wearing and walked in the bathroom turning on the water. As the water heated up, I kept thinking about last night in the kitchen. Is there really a place higher than heaven? Maybe higher than Olympus itself. That kissed made me feel nothing I have never felt before! I was weakened and full of bliss. I finish slipping off my undergarments and I stepped in the shower. The whole time I felt that kiss on my lips. I kept thinking of how he finally looked at me. He made me melt and I was the one who was drawn to him.
I stepped out of the shower, toweled myself off, and walked into my room. I looked for a new pair of pajamas. I found a purple silk camisole and shorts. Purple was always my favorite color. Even as a kid, I begged my mom and dad to paint my room but I guess that chance never came. I took a deep breath and walked over to the mirror and started brushing out the wet mess. As soon as I finished brushing my hair out, I hear a knock on the door.
"Yes?" I answered.
Jackson stepped through the door with a smile. "You do realize you could have slept in a little longer!" he said as if I could have.
This made me laugh. I decided this would be a fun time to tease him.
"I woke up to someone hanging all over me!" I said with a tease.
His lips twitched and I started laughing. "Jackson, I needed a shower! Plus as much as I love your shirt, I needed my own clothes!" I said as I looked back at him.
He smiled and came over and kissed the top of my head.
He walked out and yelled, "I will be downstairs."
I yelled "Okay!"
Jackson's POV
Last night I finally kissed her. I couldn't handle it anymore, I even went so far as look into her eyes. Something I never do. As much as she was drawing me in, I noticed I was having the same effect on her. The government would say her gift is a blessing. A blessing that if corrupted she could take over the world, start wars and in the end she would win. Her ability draws people to her, which is funny because if you got to know Indiana, she hates the attention. I always thought it was funny.
I started to walk into the kitchen and started back to thinking the way her lips felt. I started making us something to eat. When I opened the fridge and noticed we are low on food. I have to go shopping. I wonder if she will want to go with me. 'Jackson just breathe! Its just Indie.' She isn't scared of you. I grab the notepad from the counter and start making a list. I must have been in my own head because I wasn't even paying attention that she was in the kitchen. I felt her arms wrap around me and for a moment I froze.
Indiana's POV
When I finished getting ready, I walked downstairs. I was hoping Jackson was making us something to eat. Although part of me was worried about walking into the kitchen. I don't want to forget last night and I don't want it to be weird between us.
Although with us, we are anything but normal. I walk through the kitchen door, I notice he isn't paying attention. So I walk over to him and wrap my arms around him. I can feel his heart and I notice it changes as soon as I touched him.
I slowly take my arms away. "Are you okay?" I ask.
He turned around and smiled. "Of course I am," he said.
I laughed and then just like I forgot it all. I walked to the counter and hopped back up.
"Indie, do you realize we have chairs?" He teased me.
He laughed as I rolled my eyes.
"So what did you make me eat?" I questioned.
He smiled and it was that smile that I wanted to drown in.
"Well there are leftovers but I do need to go to the store. Do you want to come?" he asked.
I nodded "Oh I know what I want to eat! That last piece of cake!" I exclaimed.
He laughed "You mean MY piece of cake!" he said as if he forgot that HE ATE MINE!
I rolled my eyes. "I thought we could share," I said as if he wouldn't have just given it to me.
He smiled. Taking the cake out of the fridge along with the milk he poured one glass and handed me a fork.
I sliced the cake with my fork. "Mmmm," I said, remembering the taste of it last night.
He laughed, "Still good cake?"
I held up a bite for him. Like last night he came close to me running his fingers against my legs. He took the bite.
I smiled "Good right?" I asked, staring at him.
He handed me the glass and I took a drink and handed it to him. I wiped my upper lip and smiled at him as I gave him another bite.
After we finished off the cake. I hopped down into his arms. I smiled as he kissed me on top of my head.
"Go get dressed and we will go do some shopping!" he said cheerfully.
I nodded and ran upstairs to my room.
