870 Words
I smiled to myself , feeling relaxed since I had gotten a good night's sleep, I pulled the covers over my head and snuggled deeper into the pillow, loving the feel of the soft sheets.
Then it occurred to me that I wasn't alone on the bed,someone had their arms around my waist! I shrieked and kicked whoever was lying next to me.
"What the hell!"I heard Jace hiss.
I opened my drowsy eyes, and stared back at him feeling my cheeks heat up.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in the bed."I said apologising.
He c****d his head to the side and stared at me, making me nervous.
"You kick like a girl."he said smiling.
I narrowed my eyes at him, jerk!
"I take it back, you don't deserve an apology, by the way weren't you supposed to sleep on the couch?"I asked.
"Did you really expect me to sleep in a couch when I paid for this whole room." he stated matter of fact.
"Yes I do!I don't think my dad would be happy that we spent a whole night together on the same bed."I said hoping to get some sort of reaction from him.
Instead amusement flickered across his face.
"Miss Rose, your father wouldn't have a problem with that, trust me, besides he would never know now, would he?"he asked as if challenging and threatening me at the same time.
"No he wouldn't ."I said through gritted teeth, it was no use fighting with this guy, you would never win!
"Good." he said chuckling to himself.
I stood up and slid out of the bed before I did something stupid like kick him again.
"By the way, nice pajamas."I heard him say.
I stopped on my tracks, frozen on the spot.
I swallowed and looked down to remind myself of what I wore last night to sleep.
I blushed as I realised I had on a very short pants with a black strapless top.When I finally found the strength and courage to move I hurried to the bathroom, grabbing my towel on the way, scowling as I heard him laugh behind me.
.......................................................
I picked up my phone , staring at the date in front of me, how could I have forgotten!
It was mother's day today!
I quickly dialed the one number that was important to me, waiting impatiently for my mom to answer.
"Hello sweetie." my mom said sounding worried.
That was just like my mom!Always worrying about me, I loved her more that anything in the world, she was my everything.
"Happy mother's day mummy, I love you."
"I love you too sweetie, I miss you, aren't you reaching home anytime soon?"she asked .
I wish!I was pretty sure I would have reached a lot faster if Jace wasn't the one driving!
I took a deep breath.
"I'm not sure mom, I'll have to ask Jace to drive fast."
"No honey, its okay, I don't want him driving fast, you never know what could happen."
Sigh, mothers!You can't live without them.
I smiled to myself, thinking how lucky I was to have a mother that cared about me so much.
"Okay mom, I'm going now, I hope I get to see you today, I love you, bye."
"Bye sweetie, be safe."
I disconnected the call, staring at the phone in front me.
I was so caught up with talking to my mother that I didn't realise Jace behind me.
He cleared his throat getting my attention.
I turned around swiftly and my breath caught in my throat.
Why did he always have to look so handsome?
"If you want to see your mom today we have to get moving now."
I nodded my head and it wasn't long before we were on our way again.
We rode in silence again like before, that was until I saw mother's day presents being sold.
"Stop, stop, stop!"I shouted excitedly.
Jace mashed the brakes hard and pulled to the side.
"What?" he asked on alert.
"I want to buy a present for my mom."I said grinning.
He stared back at me as if I were crazy.
"You could have just said so, you acted like someone was trying to kill you!"he snapped ,obviously annoyed.
I just rolled my eyes and stepped out of the car, selecting several gifts for my mom.
However the problem came when it was time to cash.
I had forgotten to take money from my mom!
I walked back to the car, feeling miserable.
"What is it now?Why don't you have any gifts?" he asked curiously.
"I uh..its nothing let's go." I said frustrated.
"Would you tell me whats wrong."he said again.
"I don't have any money."
"You could have just said so." he said softly.
He climbed out of the car and after a few minutes came back with a bag full of gifts.
"Here, you can give your mom these."he said kindly.
I stared back at him in shock.Did he really just do that?
"Thank you." I said smiling brightly.
"Don't mention it."
I looked at the gifts and realised all of them must have cost alot!
I was sure my mother would know I didn't buy these presents!
