The sun was beaming through the blinds, causing me to stir. As I try to hide my face, snuggling myself in the comfort of Jayce’s arms.

I smiled as Jayce’s arms tightened around my body.

I didn’t even realize until now how much I miss being with him. The feeling of his arms around my body, with my head on his chest.

I feel Jayce’s hand on my head as his hand gently caresses over my hair before he planted a gentle kiss on them.

“I know you are awake,” Jayce mumbled, with his lips close to his ear, so close that it tingled, making me laugh.

I opened my window, only to find Jayce smiling as he was staring at me.

“Just a few more minutes,” I yawed, hiding my face in his chest.

“You can sleep as much as you want, but you gonna miss the things that I’m planning for us today,”

Jayce’s words caught my attention. “What?”

“It’s a surprise,” Jayce added, with a devilish smirk on his face.

“You know I don’t like surprises,” I complained.

“Well, I don’t care,” Jayce teased.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“At Least give me a hint,”

“No chance,”

“I hate you..” I said, separating myself from him.

Jayce laughed. “I know you don’t. Now stop pouting, and get up, lazy head.”

Jayce stepped down from the bed, holding his hand out to me. “Come on, don’t be lazy,”

“Go away, I want to sleep,” I said, covering my head with a blanket.

“Rachel..” Jayce sighed, but then removed my blanket and carried me in his arms to the bathroom before opening the shower right over me.

“What the fuck?” I shouted as the cold water touched over my body.

Jayce on the other stood there with me, laughing. “Karma baby,”

“What karma?” I questioned, walking away from the shower and grabbing a towel, trying to dry myself.

“Remember one time you threw ice water on my head, just because you don’t like some random girl flirting with me?”

“That incident happened about two years old ago, and you still remember about that.”

“I don’t forget anything that is related to you. The time that I spent with you was the best moment of my life.”

I smiled, happy at the fact of how Jayce cherished every small moment that we shared together.

“Well, I missed the target. I wanted to throw the water on her, but you came in between,” I added, trying to change the subject. “But you going to pay for what you did now,”

I came close to me with a smile, his lips up close to my ear, “How…,”

“What do you mean?” I questioned, as Jayce wrapped his arm around my waist, his face just a mere inch away from my face.

“If you want, I can be a slave for a day. Master,” Jayce teased, biting the tip of my ear.

“Never knew you were into these types of things,” I smirk, wrapping my hands around his neck.

“I’m not, but we can try if you want,” Jayce added.

I pulled his face close to mine. “How about doing something casual before we start taming you as my salve,” I teased, trying my best to stop my laughter.

But Jayce breaks up in laughter at my words. “I don’t know that I can ever win with the naughty mind of yours,”

“Why do you ever try, then?” I asked.

“Well, it’s fun to at least give it a try.”

“Well…” my words stopped with my loud sneeze.

“Let’s get the bath ready for you,” Jayce said, separating himself.

All of a sudden, the mood around the bathroom because of my sneezing, “Jayce…”

“Wait, let me fill the tub,” Jayce replied, filling it with fragrant bath bombs and salt, spreading the aroma all around the bathroom.

I didn’t complain because I started to feel cold all of a sudden with my body shivering.

“Take a bath before you get sick,” Jayce added, walking towards the door.

“And whose fault is this?” I added, sliding the t-shirt out of my body and throwing it at Jayce.

“I’m sorry,” Jayce said, turning his head and looking away from me.

I don’t know what he is apologizing for. Is he apologizing for seeing me naked or for pouring cold water on me? “Why are you apologizing? It’s not the first time you saw it like this?”

“I will go make us something to eat,” Jayce said, leaving me alone.

“Jayce…” I called, but Jayce ignored me.

I sighed, soaking my body in warm water, and groaned as the water eases all tension and can help soothe my aching muscles. Damn, I was so in need of this hot bath that I didn’t even realize it until I was inside the tub. This is life, and I’m so happy about it. The last few days were the best. I met Jayce, and we cleared all our misunderstandings, and are back together.

Both of us babysitting Liam, the view of watching Jayce taking off Liam, made me dream of a future that I didn’t know will ever come true. And lastly sleep on the same bed, snuggling in each other’s arms, waking up and seeing Jayce’s face right after opening my eyes, and Jace being all gentle and caring, showing his true emotions and feeling to me, something that he has never done before.

I didn’t even realize how cold my life was in need of some warmth until Jayce came and brought some of his warmth into my life, making me feel the passion, the joy. I didn’t even realize how lonely I was being away from him for many years.

I thought what I did was good for both of us, without even realizing how my actions became the reason for both our pain and loneliness in our life. But things are different now. We are together stronger than before and I smiled, hoping for the best for a happy future together filled with so much happiness and love for each other.
