"So, what all is going? We can start to pack and get out of here a little quicker." Jace says this with his serious down to business tone. I look at him and smile at his eagerness,
"Right this way. Like I mentioned in my text I don't really have too much stuff that I am bringing with me to my apartment. Most of the stuff that I have will be staying here so that I have a room here. I will be bringing just the important stuff, Stella and I both purchased everything else for the apartment." I show him my room where all of the boxes that I have packed are sitting.
"Oh, wow you weren't kidding. What all are you bringing over there?" He asked with his eyebrows raised in question.
"I only packed what I knew that I would need. I bought all new bedding and anything else that I would leave here. I am only bringing my clothes, some books, my puzzles, and my shoes. Nothing too heavy I don't think. I don't have more then 15 boxes here." I shrug. Without another question he grabs a box and stacks it on top of another box and picks up both boxes and carries them out to his lifted Chevy. With both of us taking my boxes to the truck and packing the truck it took no more than about 45 minutes to pack the truck. Right before we leave, I decide to write Cam a note since he is still asleep:
Hey Cam, sorry that I missed seeing you. You sounded like you needed your sleep. Jace has taken me to set up my apartment. Call me when You get a chance, I love you Cam! XOXO ~Scarlet
Just as I am grabbing my things Jace walks back inside, "Are you ready to go?" Jace asks kindly. I grab my backpack and make sure that I put my wireless speaker into it, and I make sure that I didn't forget about my phone charger. After I verify that I have everything I look to Jace, "I believe that I am ready...Are you ready to go?" He smiles at me, and we head out the door to his truck for the last time. 'Oh gosh I hope that I can manage to get myself in the truck without help.' I put my backpack on the floor in his truck, I set my phone on the seat and prepare to get into the truck when Jace lifts me into the truck catching me by surprise....
Once I am sitting in the seat, I carefully turn to look at him....as I am turning to look at him and thank him for helping me into the truck our lips touch. My heart sprints in my chest leaving me completely speechless. I flush bright red; I had no idea that he had been that close to me... Jace looks smug when our eyes meet which makes me flush an even brighter red then before. "Uhhhh....thank you.... I didn't mean for that to happen..." He looks at me confused which only makes me confused which only makes me forget my train of thought again.
Jace looks at me as if he has something important to tell me. "I'm not sorry it happened...I thought that it felt...good..." He looks down as if he just admitted a deep dark secret. 'Ummmm...wait did this really just happen? Or am I dreaming again? Please don't let this be a dream... Could it truly be real that he actually feels the same way I feel about him?' Without meaning to I blurt out a question that I am not sure that I really wanna know the answer to,
"Wait what do you mean Jace?" He gives me a look that I am not sure what he is trying to tell me with. He closes my door and gets into the truck. 'I am so damn confused what the hell just happened? Did Jace just tell me that he feels something for me? Why won't he answer my question? I need to talk to Stella.' I take out my phone and write her a quick text:
Hey Ella, I miss you. We have so much to talk about. I'm heading to the apartment to set everything up for us for when you move in! I love you see you tomorrow!
We ride in silence for what feels to be the longest hour of my entire life. I can't take it anymore I have to get answers from Jace. Between the stress of moving and the electricity between Jace and I, I just need to know. I turn to look at Jace's handsome face and before I could speak as if he knew what I was feeling he puts his right hand on my left leg sending a shiver of pure pleasure pulsing through my entire body. He looks at my concerned, "Is this, ok? I mean I thought you might be ok with it.... I am sorry if I overstepped a boundary..." He starts to remove his hand from my leg which makes me sad...I quickly grab his hand and twist my fingers between his and place our hands on my leg.
"Actually...I love it.... we should probably talk about what all of the means...." I say and I look down at our hands worried about what he would say. "I mean I am only 19 and you are 26....I don't mind the age gap.... we just...we should probably just get to an understanding about what this is..." He pulls the truck into a gas station and parks the truck and turns to face me being very careful not to pull his hand out of mine,
"To me age is just a number....in all honesty I've had feelings for you for a while now.... I don't want to avoid my feelings for you anymore...If it is ok with you, I would really actually like it if you would be my girl...." He looks at me very serious in a way that makes it seem like he is holding his breath. 'He just asked me to be his girl!' I instantly feel an ear-splitting grin spread across my face,
"I would honestly love that more than I could possible express to you. I just don't want to hurt Cam you are his best friend...I don't want him to feel like we betrayed him...We are going to have to sit down all together to talk to him about this...I mean us...." I can't hold back my grin anymore. My cheeks hurt so bad from smiling so much. 'Who knew that something that seemed so impossible could actually happen and could make me so damn happy.' He grabs one of his jackets from the back seat and hands it to me. "It's a little chilly right now." He smiles at me.
I put on his jacket. 'Oh, my word he smells like fresh laundry and axe.' He then looks at me seriously. "Did I do something wrong?" I am so nervous about doing something wrong already. He shakes his head no while he quickly zips his jacket around me while he continues to gaze into my eyes.
"Not at all. I was just thinking that I would very much love to kiss you..." He places his hands on either side of my face and ever so gently presses his surprisingly soft lips against mine. 'Oh, my word.' Sparks flying everywhere. When he finally releases my face, we are both panting and gasping for air as we try to catch our breath. "Well, that was so much more then even my wildest imagination could have ever come up with." He says all of this in a dazed voice. He meets my eyes with a questioning look.
"Ummmmmm....I don't even have words for how.... Amazing...that was..." I smile at him feeling like just maybe it is possible that any and all of the erotic dreams and thoughts I have ever had about him could quiet possibly come true or even... be completely fulfilled...
