Chapter 7: Adorable. Just Adorable.

Jax POV

I smiled even before I opened my eyes. I tightened my arms around my Em and buried my face in her hair when she snuggled into my chest. I sighed quietly before prying my eyes open to find Em already look at me.

"Hi," she whispered, wearing a sleepy smile.

I smiled back and brushed a lock of hair from her face. "Hi beautiful." She smiled a little wider, planting a kiss on my chest. Well, on my shirt. The layer of fabric didn't stop the tingling sensation it caused. I would normally roll my eyes at myself for how soppy and cheesy that sounded, but I couldn't help it. Not when it was my Em.

I still grinned at the thought. My Em. Even when we were together the first time, she 'loved' Daniel. She went back to him. I know I was working with E, but I was going back to her, and she went back to him.

I hated myself for what happened, but I hated my dad and E more. Emma told me I shouldn't hate myself for it, so I didn't. She forgave me, so so did I. She also apologized for hurting me, which I told her was not needed.

I could never blame her for what she did in the first place. There was no way I deserved Em, not then. But now, maybe. I hope I do. I'm really trying to. Emma deserves everything. She deserves to be happy, so if I can give her that, maybe it doesn't matter if no one thinks I deserve her.

A grin planted itself on my face as I remembered last night. Em looked up at me curiously. "What are you so happy about?"

I grinned down at her. "I love you," I stated.

Her eyes brightened in understanding. She giggled at me and it was the cutest, most adorable, little sound. "I love you too."

I grinned wider then pouted. She saw this and cocked an eyebrow at me. "You laughed at me," I pouted at her, giving her the puppy dog eyes. She giggled at me again. Trust me, on the inside, I was grinning like crazy.

On the outside though, I looked away from her, sniffling, still pouting. I saw her smile up at me. "Aw, I'm sorry Jaxy." I wanted to smile so bad, but I shook my head, still not looking at her.

And then she did it. She started poking me. "Oh come on Jax, I know you're kidding." I did nothing. She frowned at me. "Jax." Poke. "Jax." Poke. "Jax." Poke. "Jax." I was laughing on the inside.

She knew what I was doing. You know that cliché thing where you pretend to be mad, they poke you, and you give in and end up kissing them or something instead? Like the person poking you always wins right?

I was not going to let that happen.

Emma was still poking me, saying my name over and over. I don't understand why people give in to this, I'm actually quite enjoying it. She will end up being the mad one, but she'll forgive me, because, I mean, come on. Have you seen me? *winks*

This was totally easy. She would get annoyed before I would. I mean, all she's poking is abs. It feels, kind of, good, actually. I could no longer keep the smirk off my face.

So here was me, thinking I could totally do this. That was until she exchanged the pokes for kisses, and I froze.

You might think, that must be even better. You're all sitting there thinking, 'come on Jax, you're getting a ton of free kisses, you have to be happy about this, it must be great!' I'm telling you now it's not.

You see, yes, my beautiful girlfriend was kissing me, but she wasn't really kissing me, and I couldn't kiss her back. Now do you see the unfairness of this situation?

She had stopped poking me, then smirked, which is pretty rare for Emma. She put on an innocent look and I glanced at her. She gave me a smile, but I kept my face blank. She pouted at me and planted a kiss on my chest, right where she had earlier.

That was when I froze.

She smirked at me. "Jax," she said softly. I shook my head quickly. She frowned. She brushed her lips across my cheek. "Jax." She trailed kisses along my jaw, and I let out a shaky breath. "Jax." She planted soft kisses down my neck, then back up, kissing the spot behind my ear, sucking lightly. "Ja-ax," she sing-songed.

I bit back a moan. This was so unfair.

She stopped saying my name, seemingly deciding the kisses were more important. She started right at the corner of my mouth, going along my jaw, to the spot behind my ear (which she sucked on), down my neck (which she sucked, licked, and bit),to my collarbone (where she did the same). She took the exact same way back up.

All I could think about was how my Em was doing this. I seriously couldn't believe it was happening.

Well that was kind of a lie. All I could really think was Holy. Shit.

This was something I would fantasize about, but at the same time, it was torture. It was amazing. The only problem was I couldn't touch her. I could not give in. But if I just turned my head...

"Emma," I groaned. Shit.

She smiled innocently at me. "What's wrong?" she asked, all wide eyes and innocence. I just groaned again. She shrugged...and went back to kissing me.

That's it. I couldn't do it anymore. I cupped her face, pulling her lips to mine. She wrapped her arms around my neck, and I moved mine to wrap around her waist, pulling her close to me. I kissed her slowly and she smiled against my lips. I sighed. Finally.

She parted her lips slightly, so of course I took the oppurtunity. I slipped my tongue in and fought with hers. I won, of course. I massaged her tongue with mine and she responded by pulling at the ends of my hair. I grinned into the kiss and pulled her even closer.

I moved my arm slightly, letting my hand linger at the edge of her shirt. I slipped my hand under just an inch, gently brushing her side. She gasped and I thought she would pull away, but instead she moved closer, her body flush against mine.

I smiled, trailing my hand across her back lightly, not allowing myself to move it up any farther. I had expected Em to tell me to stop; she knows I would if she did. She also knows that I would never do anything more, not unless she made the first move, or told me it was okay.

She moved her hands from my neck down my back, and I shivered at the sensation I got from the contact. I really loved this, and I really loved my Em. But I really really loved this with my Em. I loved it so much.

We eventually pulled back for air. Already missing the contact, I settled for trailing kisses along her cheek. Repaying her for earlier, I guess. Em must've thought this too and she giggled.

I smiled against her cheek before pulling back to look at her, resting my forehead against hers. "You're evil, you know that?" She smiled 'sweetly' up at me. I shook my head, smiling. "You know how unfair that was?"

She sighed, pouting up at me, giving me the puppy dog eyes. I narrowed my eyes at her, biting my lip to hold back a grin. I sighed internally, she uses my love against me. "I'm sorry Jaxy. Forgive me?" She spoke quietly, looking at me through her eyelashes.

I hummed in mock thought. "I don't know.." I teased her. She gave me the same look. Pout, eyes, lip. She's so adorable. "Maybe there's something you could do," I winked at her. She rolled her eyes but smiled at me. I closed my eyes and puckered my lips.

She laughed at me and gave me a peck on the lips. I made a noise of protest and she laughed again before sighing, "fine." She pressed her lips to mine and I smiled, satisfied. I was about to deepen the kiss, but we were rudely interrupted.

"Hey Emma, do you know where- oh that's just gross!" Emma pulled away from me, startled. I sighed. She looked at Andi in the doorway and blushed. After what she did earlier, she blushes at this, something that happens all the time. Did I mention how adorable she is?

Well she is. Em. Is. Adorable.

Adorable.

Andi scrunched her face up at me. "Dude, come on!"

I rolled my eyes at her. "What?"

Emma grinned at me. "You were thinking out loud."

Oh.

"So you guys, heard, al-all of that?" They nodded. Oh.

Oops.

Emma was still grinning up at me, so I smiled back widely. Andi gagged and I rolled my eyes. "Why exactly are you here?" Emma elbowed me and I winced, pouting at her. We were doing a lot of that weren't we?

"Well I was here to ask Em where the Hex is. Now, though, I'm just tryin' not to throw up," she gagged. I stuck my tongue out at her. You know, being the mature guy I am.

Em frowned. "I thought you had the Hex," she informed Andi, who shook her head.

"No, that's why I came here to ask you. I thought you had him." Their eyes widened when I remembered.

"Wait, guys, it's fine. Remember that time Maddie put a shark in my pool and we needed the Hex for a spell? I must have him, it's fine." Emma started to nod when Andi told us what was wrong with that.

"Wait, you have him? Like, in your house?" I nodded, then realized. "Where your dad is?! What if they have the Hex now?! Ugh, you're such an idiot!"

"Hey! It's not my fault, and that book can take of care of itself. If you're that mad about it you shouldn't have left him there in the first place," I glared at her.

She glared back, about to retort, when my little sister saved me. Thank you Jessie, thank you!

"Hey Jax, I found this book in my stuff and he started flying around my, room," she trailed off as she took the three of us in. "What were you guys yelling about anyway?"

Hex flew in behind her. "Hex!" He flew straight into Andi's arms and she, uh, hugged him? She glared at me again before smiling at Jessie. "We were just talking about how your brother's such an idiot. Don't worry, I won't kill him this time." She gave me a fake smile, which, because I'm so nice, I returned.

Jessie looked at her. "Uhm, okay." Andi smiled at her and Jess glared at me. "What did you do to her? I may have been gone for a few years but I still know how to get payback on you," she warned me.

I gaped at her. Little traitor.

"Me? I didn't do anything, I swear!" Em giggled at me. I glared at her, but my gaze softened when I saw she was smiling at me.

Jessie held her hands up. "Alright, chill. Just remember that. I'll get my powers soon, too." She walked backwards out the door, giving me the evil eyes. Her expression changed to a smile and she waved at me before disappearing around the corner.

I chuckled. Andi looked at me, and she wasn't glaring. I know, I know; weird, and I should probably be scared. "Man, can I have your sister?" I rose an eyebrow at her, shaking my head. "Aw, but she's so awesome! She deserves a cool sibling."

"Andi," Emma scolded. She gave her a look. "We talked about this."

Andi groaned, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, yeah, I know." She looked at me, and through gritted teeth, "sorry." Emma gave her the look again and Andi glared at her. "I'm sure you're a great sibling, and, I guess, you can be, sometimes, just a little," she choked. I cocked an eyebrow at her. She gritted her teeth and finished, "cool."

I grinned at her. "Oh, Andi, I knew you loved me." She opened her mouth, to protest probably, but I went on. "Apology accepted Andi. It's fine, you don't have to say anything else." So, of course, I cast a spell so she couldn't talk.

She made a face and I guessed if she could've made a noise, she would've been huffing at me. I smiled at her, you know, 'sweetly'.

I shook my head at her. "We could be friends y'know, if you just admitted that you don't hate me." She started to shake her head but I held up a hand. "I know you don't, and you shouldn't. You helped me when we were looking for the crystal, and I helped save Philip for you. So I know you don't hate me, and I know you shouldn't."

She ducked her head, because she knew I was right, of course. Em looked back and forth between us, a hopeful expression on her face. Well, I was doing this for her. I needed it to work, so I guess I had to kick it up a notch.

"Well, I know it's your birthday next week and I should wait to give this to you until then, but since I'm trying to do something here," I reached over Em and pulled open a drawer, "here." I chucked her the box, silently removing the spell too.

She looked at it and her eyes widened. "Zombie Apocalypse 4?! But this isn't out for like another four months! How did you get this?"

I shrugged. "I know some people."

She looked at me. "Did you use magic?" I shook my head 'no'. "So you actually got this for me?" I nodded. She grinned, running to the bed and wrapping her arms around me. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"Woah there, you're not secretly doing something to kill me are you?" I joked. I could almost feel her roll her eyes. I hugged her back, carefully. "I know, I know, I'm awesome. Don't get to full of yourself, I got it for Philip really."

This time I saw her roll her eyes, as she pulled away from me. Then she smirked. "Liar."

I rolled my eyes but laughed at her. "Aw," Em said. "You guys are actually getting along!" Andi and I looked at each other, knowing exactly what was coming. "Group hug!" she shouted, holding her arms out to us.

Of course I complied, because you don't pass up an opportunity to hug your beautiful girlfriend, and of course Andi complied, because you don't say no to a hug from your best friend. I guess you wouldn't really say no to a hug from anyone, unless of course it was a stranger, or someone you don't like, or maybe a teacher, or...never mind.

So the three of us were in a 'group hug' when the Council decided to flash in, unannounced and unwelcome, as usual.

Emma looked at them and groaned. "What now?"

Agamemnon and Desdemona grinned at us, while Lily looked at us sympathetically. Desdemona and Agamemnon told us in unison, which is always kinda creepy.

"You're all going to boot camp!"
