Wanted Man
Chapter Twelve~ Dreams Only Last for a Night, or So They Say
“Jay please! Please please please!” I begged, tugging on my arm.
I really wanted to go out searching for Jack again and instead of wasting my day.
“Why don’t we just stay in and have a relaxing day?” he said, plopping down the couch he had basically claimed as his own
“C’mon I wanna go! It’s been killing me Jay!”
“We’ve searched whole past week! You need a break!” he said, grabbing my arm and pulling me down next to him on the couch.
“We sound like an old married couple!” he joked, smiling.
I smiled back, a tingly feeling filling my gut.
I hadn’t forgotten about how I felt about him, and the feelings have only grown stronger this past week. I really could say I never wanted him to leave.
“Okay.. I guess we can stay” I said, my smile widening as did Jay’s.
“Yay!!!” he cried, hugging me.
I felt my cheeks flush at the contact. He had no idea what he was doing to me. He had stopped being so boxed up around me, for which I was glad. Now he just acted like a fun loving child, something I could take a few notes on.
“No what are we gonna do?” I said, turning on the couch to face him
“I dunno...”
“How about we talk and get to know each other!”
His face paled at my suggestion and he shook his head, “How bout we do something else..”
“Come on! You’ve gotta open up to me sometime! I don't want a murder in my house” I said, laughing as I teased him.
I suddenly stopped when I realized how pale he had gotten. He looked like he was going to be sick any second.
“Jay.. I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you I just.. I’m sorry babe.. I-”
“What did you call me?” he said, his head snapping up suddenly, eyes glowing.
What had I called him? I thought through my words until I felt like I was going to be sick.
“I didn’t mean to.. I just.. Its a habit..”
He raised his eyebrows, “I know you haven’t called any girls that, and in this town how many boys do you have a chance to say that?”
My face reddened as he caught me in my lie.
“But its okay” he said, smiling, “I like it”
And suddenly he was a little closer and his beautiful chocolate eyes seemed to be pulling me in.
My hand found its way to cup his face as if on it own accord, my thumb playing over his cheekbone. I traced the fine contour of bone under pale skin.
At this point I was saying fuck it, and was ready to take the biggest step of my life. But I wanted it to be perfect. Everything had to go how I wanted it to go. Which was why I was taking my dear time. It would make him flustered and lord knows I would give anything to see the pink that’d come over Jay’ s cheeks.
I flicked my eyes back to his, which only met mine for a moment before looking down, the much desired blush rising in his cheeks. He bit his lip, causing me to shudder in apprehension. I could hear his breathing getting faster as my other hand snaked around his skinny waist.
I pushed some of his hair away from his face before pressing my lips to his, gently lifting his face with my hand.
He kissed back, still soft and gentle, almost as if unsure. But he was kissing back, and that's all that I could ask for.
I let my hand brush up and down his sides.
I opened my mouth slightly, swiping my tongue across Jay’s lip, asking permission to show him rather than tell him just how much he had come to mean to me.
His lips parted, his tongue coming to meet my own, swirling around each other.
I felt fingers curl in my hair, tugging slightly.
I pulled him closer, his body melting into my own as he moved around me. I broke the kiss, surprised to see him straddling me.
I opened my mouth to speak but he was the first to talk, “Where did that come from and why the hell did you stop?”
I smiled, “I’m ready to accept this, y’know?”
He nodded quickly, not breaking eye contact as he ducked down and quickly kissed me again. But he didn't stay long.
I whimpered as he hopped up and ran to the kitchen.
“Come and get me if you want me!” he called, and I jumped from my spot on the couch, cause yeah, I could get used to this.
“Alex.. Alex!” Jay called, shaking my arm.
“Wha-?” I said, my eyes heavy with sleep.
“Do you wanna leave early again today? To go searching? For Jack?” Jay said, adding more information as I looked back at him with a blank stare.
“I think we need a lazy day…” I said, a plan forming in my head.
Maybe my dreams could come true today.

Notes
Title Cred: Stay Awake (Modified) by All Time Low
I dont like this chapter, but I seriously needed to update and explain a few things.
I feel like I have been majorly neglecting this story because I've become infatuated with my story Aliens Exist. I had forgotten how nice it is to update pretty much daily on the same story. Which is why all my other works are on hiatus except this story, Aliens Exist and I'm Not Myself. So I apologize, but stuff might be a little bit more regular around here? I'll try, I'll try.
Aw :)
