Please keep reviewing; I like to know where to go with it. I hope you like this chapter.
There were so many words Jay could use to describe how he felt right now. True it wasn't a special occasion or anything but he couldn't get rid of that feeling in the pit of his stomach as he watched Ruth sleep. She was such a peaceful sleeper she never snored or jolted she always lay still wrapped up in the bed covers, not a worry in the world. A contrast to when she was awake. He lifted his hand and ran his fingers lightly across her cheek, loving lying next to her.
Her eyes flickered open.
'Morning angel.' He smiled at her as she ducked her head to move under his arm to get closer to him.
'What's the time?' Ruth says softly as Jay reaches over and grabs his phone.
'Umm...Half seven.' He shut his phone and kissed her forehead gently.
'No, I don't want to get up.' Ruth complained as Jay laughed at her.
'Neither do I.'
'Well there's no change there then.' Ruth snorted at him before throwing back the bed covers and climbing out dressed in his t-shirt from last night to Jay's amusement.
'What is it with you and my clothes?' He sat up as she poked her head out from the bathroom.
'Pardon?'Ruth frowned at him as he pulled on his jeans from last night.
'Whenever I stay over or you come to mine you always sleep in my t-shirts. What is it?' He smirked as she laughed at him.
'They smell of you and there comfortable.' Ruth said innocently.
'Aww babe, that's sweat. But what am I suppose to wear now.' He gestured to his bare chest.
'Umm...well you could go topless.' Ruth ran her fingers up his chest, sending a shiver down his spine.
'Well you might like that but I don't think Tess will be on side.' Jay bit his lip.
'Fine. Why don't you go back to yours in this top and then get changed.' Ruth entered her bedroom again and removed one of her t-shirts so Jay could get his top back.
'But I wanted to walk in with you.' Jay complained.
'Stop being soppy. If you had brought clothes with you then you wouldn't have to.' Ruth hit him playfully.
'Well I didn't know I was going to stay over.' He stuck his tongue out cheekily at her.
'I can't help it when I want to share a bed with my boyfriend.' Ruth said suggestively
'I never said it was a bad thing, but now I have to go home.' She wrapped her arms around his neck and leant up on her tiptoes and kissed him softly.
'Well why you not move some of your clothes over here so you don't always have to go home.' Ruth blushed as Jay looked at her in shock. He was completely shocked he knew Ruth wasn't saying move in completely but it was a step forward and that was all that counted.
'Are you being serious?' He replied.
'Why not?' She shrugged before Jay grabbed her from around the waist and hugged her tightly. After a while Jay released his grip and Ruth headed through to the bathroom. When she returned she was changed into a pair of jeans and her own t-shirt.
'Right you better go if you're going to be on time for work.' Ruth said throwing him his t-shirt at him.
'I don't want to.' Jay pouted.
'Just go!' Ruth said sternly, pushing him towards her bedroom door.
'Alright, alright. I'm going; I'll see you at work.' He said before giving her a quick kiss on the cheek and disappearing of down the stairs.
Love.
He was in love and knew he was in deep. He knew it was love from the moment he woke and he saw her lying next to him, he hadn't told her yet, this was Ruth you never knew whether where you were with her. But he still knew he loved her. And that feeling wouldn't go away as he walked back to his Nan's place. He hoped he could just creep in get changed and grab some clothes for tonight, because if his Nan caught him she would make him sit down and explain where he had been and he didn't have time for that. Fair enough his Nan had met Ruth but she didn't think that they were that serious and if she found out there would be too many questions like. Are you getting married? What about settling down? Is she pregnant? And boy he didn't want to talk to his Nan about all that, well not now anyway.
As he approached the familiar door he pulled his keys from his pocket and slid them into the lock, as he entered the atmosphere seems different usually at this time of morning his Nan and sister would be awake and having breakfast but the house was silent. As he crept across the hall towards the kitchen, he heard voices coming from the longue, knowing better than to go in and say hi he made his way towards the stairs, just as he took to the steps the door swung open and his sister appeared with her hands on her hips facing him.
'Where you going?' Her voice sounded dull and Jay could tell something was wrong.
'Sis...I was just going to get changed, I've got work in a bit.' He turned to face her.
'Nan wants you.' Jay frowned at her; she never spoke to him like that.
Jay sighed deeply before coming back downstairs and entering the longue. Confusion. That was the first thing that hit Jay as he entered the room, his Nan, sister and a mystery women were sat in there. Was he in trouble? Who was she? Is Tess going to kill me for being late? All these questions unanswered.
'Jay sit down.' His Nan's voice entered her ears bringing him back to reality.
'Nan I need to get changed. I've got work.' He gestured to his watch; he knew his Nan never liked him to be late.
'I'm not going to tell you again sit down.' She sounded angry and it took Jay by surprise.
After a few groans Jay flopped down onto the sofa and turned to face his Nan.
'Jamshid this is Kate. But you already know her so let's get rid of the introductions.' He stared back at his Nan confused at what she had said.
'What are you on about?' He turned to look at Kate as she sat on the sofa opposite from him, she was shuffling awkwardly on the edge of the sofa and he could faintly make out someone sitting behind her. As she lifted her head to look at him, it clicked.
