A Little Piece Of Heaven

"Who did what?" I asked, hoping she saw anything else. Please God, tell me she didn't see my bruise. My foundation has never come off before without scrubbing and makeup remover. My God, it costs enough.

"Don't lie to me. You know damn well what I'm talking about." She gave me the look. I gulped.

"Oh that, I just knocked my head the other day. I just finished mopping the bathroom and I slipped. It looks worse than it is. It's no big deal." I tried to reassure her. She didn't say anything she just closed her mouth and eyed my wound.

"You need to be more careful babygirl. I don't want anything to happen to you." She told me. I nodded and forced a smile.

"Of course," I told her. Her expression is guarded. I can't read her. This could be good or very bad. I don't know what she believes right now. At this point I'm just hoping she'll forget what she saw and things can go back to normal, or as normal as things ever are around here. "What's next on the agenda?" I asked her, changing the subject.

"Chinese?" She asked, finally smiling again. I nodded enthusiastically.

"Do you think if we bribe Jace with food, that he'll agree to let use give him a facial?" I whispered, in case he snuck down without either of us seeing him. She shrugged.

"It's worth a try." She grinned.

~*.*~

The rest of the night was a blast. We forced Jace to sit through chick flicks and even got him to agree to the facial. He wouldn't let us snap any pictures, regrettably. I love it here. I can never get over how much like home it feels like over here. I love it. I could get used to it and that scares me.

"What are thinking about Gel?" He asked me. I shrugged, laying on his chest.

"Just things... Life... How lucky you are to have Gwen as your mom." I told him. He chuckled.

"Don't tell her that, it'd go straight to her ego." He shot back. I bit his shoulder. "Ouch!" He cried. I giggled. "You're dangerous." He teased.

"Watch yourself, or I'll do it again." I told him. He chuckled.

"We like having you here. It's nice when you're over. It feels like toured supposed to be here. Things are so simple with you. They're not like that with anyone else. I've never cared about anyone like I care about you, let alone any girl." Be told me, rolling over to face me. I bit my lip. I didn't know what to say.

"You both are my family. You're pretty much all I have left." I told him.

"That's never going to change." He assured me.

"Until you find someone better, cooler, more awesome...." I told him. "You'll get a girl and this'll change." I whispered.

"I don't need a girl. I have you."

"You say that now." I told him. He made a face at me and tilted my face to I had to look him in the eye.

"Have you ever thought about us?" He asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"About the possibility of us ever becoming more than just friends."

"Oh, where did that come from?" I asked him. Things really did get serious.

"Answer me."

"Yeah, of course I have. Have you seen yourself? Even Fabio knows you're hot. But, I mean, what happens when things don't work out? We wouldn't be able to rewind things and take things back. I love our relationship and I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize that. I love you, too much." I told him. He gave me a crooked smile.

"If you ever change your mind, just say the word. I'm willing to take the chance for you. I love you." He whispered. I bit my lip.

Somehow, I think he means it in a different way than I did. Yeah, the chemistry is there, but it's also friendship suicide. Not to mention Matt. I felt friggin' fireworks when that boy kissed me. I've never felt anything like. I want to give that a chance. Hopefully my answer will satisfy Jace for now. The last thing I want is for things to be awkward.

"Alright, but don't hold your breath." I told him, sticking out my tongue. He chuckled and held me tighter.

It's going to be a long month.

Notes

New chapter soon. Thoughts?

Side note: When I submit chapters on my phone it mushes all of my chapters together and I have to get on my laptop to fix it. Does anyone else have this problem?
