《Safe Haven》Chapter Twenty Two

Advertisement

The girls and I say goodbye to Scott and get in the elevator after we left Elena's. Daisy gets off on her floor and we get out on ours.

"Good night, Allie." Jess wiggles her eyebrows and walks towards her room.

I roll my eyes, look at Jamie and we both smile.

"Can we talk?" I ask.

"Of course."

"Let's go to my room."

"Ok."

We walk down the hall and get inside my bedroom. After I close the door I turn to Jamie and see she has a weird look on her face.

"What's wrong?" I walk towards her.

"Is everything ok?" Her voice is small and I frown.

"Of course it is. Why wouldn't it be?"

"I don't know." She sighs and sits on my bed. "I thought maybe you regret the kiss or something..."

"What? Jamie! Of course I don't regret it!" I sit next to her and grab her hands. "On the contrary, I really liked it." I smile and hold her tighter. "Please don't doubt us."

"I don't, it's just... this is still weird." She chuckles.

"That's kind of what I wanted to talk about." I get off the bed and go towards my desk to lean against it. "What is this?" I motion between us.

"What do you want this to be?"

"Don't throw the question back at me. I'm asking you."

"Allie, you're the one that's coming out of a complicated relationship. I'll do this however you want it." She pauses. "That is, if you even want to do this."

"I do!" I say quickly. "I really do, but I don't know what to do or how to act around you. I mean... are we together?" I huff. "Are we figuring this out? Or are we doing it, but taking it slow?" I plop down on the bed. "I'm really confused."

"What do you want to do?" She takes my hand. "Don't overthink it."

"I wanna do this. Us. I really do. Maybe not go headfirst, but still do it." I turn do face her. "I wanna be with you."

She smiles and squeezes my hand. "Me too. Then let's do it. No labels, but still together. We'll figure this out as we go, but there's no need to hold back. If you want to hold hands, then do it. Hug? Go for it. Full make out session in the middle of the campus? I won't stop you."

I laugh and nudge her. "What about a kiss? You ok with that?" I say softly.

"I'm not opposed to it." She pulls me in and her lips meet mine.

My hands tangle in her hair and pull her even closer. The kiss gets hungrier and now I'm fully straddling her. When things start to escalate she pulls back and I whine.

"Why did you stop?"

She giggles. "We just said that we're not rushing things."

"Whoever said that is insane." I go in for another kiss, but this time it's slow and sweet.

She gives me little pecks as she distances herself a bit.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves." She brushes my hair and puts a strand behind my ear. "I don't want you to feel pressured or rushed." I start to complain but she cuts me off. "I know you may feel like you're ok right now, but I don't want you to look at us and resent something. I wanna do this right."

I smile and cup her cheek with my hand. "You're amazing, did you know that?"

"I've been told a few times." She giggles. "Now, let me go back to my room before Jess gets too suspicious." She tries to get me off of her.

"If that's the problem, I'm glad to inform you that she already knows. That's why we took so long to get to Elena's." I rest my arms on her shoulders.

"I knew you didn't forget your wallet!" I laugh at her accusation. "How did she know?"

"Beats me. She said she's 'not blind', whatever that means."

"I think she might've known I was into you. I thought it wasn't that obvious, but she's my roommate, so... But I still should go."

"Fine." I sit on my bed and she gets up. She starts walking away and I pull her back to me. "Can I at least get a good night kiss?"

She leans in for a quick kiss and soon she's walking out my door.

I fall on my back and smile. Today's been crazy. At first I was freaking out because Jamie wasn't talking to me. Then I was in her room telling her I liked her too and we kissed. Now we're together. I can't help the grin on my face. I'm happy. Really happy.
