Please don't leave me
_'s POV
I didn't want to speak because I knew I might get in trouble.
"Please... What's your name? I promise I won't hurt you." Jack kept on pleading me to say my name. I just kept on shaking my head but he still kept on asking my name. So I gave in.
"Jennifer Evangeline Harper." I whispered it so softly but he was still able to hear it.
"Well that's a pretty name" This made me blush a little shade of pink.
He suddenly came closer to my face and we were a few inches away… "Can I call you Eva?" He looked at me waiting for my answer and all I could do is nod… He gave me such a sweet and gentle smile. This made me blush and I looked straight down. I saw his hand reach the side of my face and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. I looked up and I saw he was gazing at my brown eyes, smiling.. I blushed again and I wanted to look down but his hand was still holding my face.
"So is this your room?" I nodded. I wanted to ask him why he was here but I was still afraid to speak to him. Although, it seems that he figured out what I wanted to ask him.
"Oh! You're probably wondering why I'm here." I nodded.
"Well, I was on the way to another country to bring snow but I felt kinda tired. And since your house was the only place I saw. I thought 'maybe this is a good place to stay for the night'... and then I searched for a room to stay... and... well yours was the best place to stay..." he said while scratching the back of his neck, then there was silence. No one spoke. I could even hear him breathing... I was still shocked that he preferred to stay in my room instead of the other rooms in the house...
"Um... If you feel uncomfortable, I can leave." He asked me... naturally you would say yes but I didn't want to let him leave... I missed having someone here with me... No one ever visits me. I sometimes feel that I'm forgotten and I never existed. Jack was about to leave until I grabbed hold onto his hoodie sleeve. He looked at me while I was shaking my head showing that I didn't want him to leave but to stay here with me... I kept on shaking my head that I didn't even notice I was starting to cry and felt my legs become so tired that I fell to the floor, crying... He gave me a worried look and sat on the floor and hugged me…
"Shh... It's okay. I promise I won't leave... so please... so please stop crying..." it's like he understood everything. It felt so nice being wrapped in his arms. It made me feel like I was safe from the dangers of this world... After a few minutes of crying, I fell asleep while I was still in his arms...
Jack's POV
I just sat on the floor hugging her until she fell asleep... Now that I think about it looking at her this close. She's beautiful. Not to mention adorable... just like a little girl. This made me start to smile and make me want to protect her at all cost.
I waited for a few minutes until she was fully asleep. I carried her Princess style and it really felt like I was carrying a little girl... I laid her on her bed but I noticed that she was still holding on to my sleeve. It made me want to laugh... I tried shaking her hand off my sleeve but it was no use, she didn't want to let go... *sigh* looks like I have to stay here then... I looked at her sleeping state, she looked so cute.
Wait. Did I just think she was cute... Jack stop it! She's a human... there's no way I can fall in love with her... But there was this part of me that wanted to love her... *sigh* maybe I should just sleep now... But where can I sleep? She doesn't want to let go of my sleeve... I can't stay on the couch... The only way is to-... I stopped and realized what I was thinking of... I looked at Eva sleeping so comfortably... and I was thinking really hard and sighed... looks like I have to sleep beside you since you don't want to let go... I moved her gently to the other side so that I could lie down on the bed with her... Once I laid down, I noticed that she came closer to me and just snuggled on my shirt. This made me chuckle... there's no way I wouldn't fall for her. To me she looked like an angel...
But...
There was one thing that made me curious of her... Why did she cry when I was about to leave?... looks like I'll ask her tomorrow... let's just hope she won't be surprised...
