Breathless- Epilogue
It's been an hour since we left Alex's house yet my nerves are still all over the place.
Right now I'm currently in Jayce's bathroom staring at the cabinet in horror.
I don't know why this only occurred to me now considering I've had plenty of time to overthink this; yet, here I am suddenly remembering I have no clue whatsoever how to cut hair someone's hair... let alone my own. But I mean it can't be that hard.
Right?
You know what I got this. This is a piece of cake I mean come on what's the worst that can happen. With that thought in mind, I began searching the cabinet for the necessary items.
Well, at least the ones that look similar to what my barber uses but since I daydream instead of actually watching this may be harder than I thought. So far I've found clippers, scissors, trimmers, a razor, two bottles of shampoo, and last but not least gel.
As soon as I finished assembling my items I heard a cough from behind me and nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw Jayce leaning against the door frame grinning like a fool.
I rolled my eyes and walked out of the bathroom to the hall closet to retrieve a towel. Once I came back I saw Jayce standing in the same spot chuckling slightly. "Here's a towel for you after you wash your hair" I grumbled blushing after handing it to him. I squeezed past him and stood back in front of the counter.
"Aww c'mon I'm just messing with ya--live a little," he said in a goofy voice. I giggled and once again rolled my eyes.
"Where's your phone?" he suddenly asked after a minute or two, "right here", I held out my phone in front of him to see. He grabbed it from my hand, a mischievous smirk forming on his face, and asked what my password was. Sugar honey ice tea!!!!
I blushed crimson up to my ears and tried to grab my phone back. "None of your business now give it back", I pouted poking my bottom lip out. "Cam-" he began only to get cut off by me.
"Nuuu Jayce give me my phone," I whined louder crossing my arms.
He paused, for the briefest of moments, an unreadable expression crossing his face, then he handed me my phone back. I starred at him curiously for a second or two then I grinned triumphantly as I grabbed it back.
"Ok, let's get this over with."Jayce chucked and turned on the water, then the shower head turned on too. I nodded to myself then blushed furiously as I glanced at Jayce.
"W-whaaaa are you doing?!" I shrieked as he took for his shirt-- his six-pack and muscles on full display. Jayce looked over his shoulder and smirked at me, "what does it look like", he laughed. My face turned redder and I looked away embarrassed and put my phone on the counter. Jayce chuckled softly and ran his fingers through his hair. I turned around and rolled up my sleeves.
My eyes widened as something occurred to me. I'm going to see Jayce...Jayce...naked, maybe. Oh gosh, I'm so not ready. I haven't even prepped my eyes yet!
When I looked back to where Jayce was standing he was nowhere to be found till I saw his form under the steaming water.
It was starting to get hot in here as steam began to cloud above me and fog up the mirror. I could feel my heart quickening its pace as I stared at myself in the mirror.
Fuck...
My hair was a complete and total mess as my dark brown strands went every direction. My face was flushed a light pink against my pale complexion, getting darker and more prominent the longer I stared. My eyes were wide doe ones and my pupils looked dilated. My clothes looked worn and ruffled up with my beanie nowhere to be found. In other words, I looked like I just got fucked.
I blushed furiously at that last thought and shook my head quickly as the mirror fogged up completely and hurried out the bathroom, closing the door behind me hastily.
I leaned against the door for a second as my breath came out in short pants. My head began to spin as I felt my pants tighten, making me gasp as I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Fuck" I whined as I tried to will my thoughts away to something else, anything else... yet they just kept trailing back to me and how I looked in the mirror.
"No no no," I whined as I panted softly. I began to imagine Jayce at that moment watching me watch myself. Watching me shift uncomfortably and look at him through the mirror pleadingly. Because I simply wouldn't know how to handle myself at that moment.
He would simply smirk, a knowing smirk at that, and shake his head. His eyes would be oh so dark, the moss green replaced with a sinister black as he willed himself to stay where he was. Because if not he wouldn't hesitate to take my breath away in every way possible till I was begging him, begging him, to just let me come. Just this once.
I rubbed my legs together clenching my fists at my sides as I shook my head.
"Hey, Cam you okay?" Jayce called out from the shower. My eyes snapped open as I quickly stepped away from the door, "mm-hmm" I squeaked rushing away from the bathroom and to the kitchen.
I walked into the pantry and grabbed two packets of cocoa mix. I could feel my hands shaking leaned against the wall, resting my palms on my knees as I bent over.
What the heck is wrong with me?
I've never been affected this bad by Jayce. I mean sure whenever he's around I feel butterflies swarm around tickling my belly. And whenever he looks at me, my heart swoons just because I'm so happy to have his attention on me. Or even when it's late at night and I'm simply thinking of Jayce because he's just so darn sweet. But this is new and I don't really know how I feel about it.
I shake my head a third time as walk over to the counter tossing the cocoa aside as I reach up to grab two mugs.
I grin brightly as I realizing I grabbed the Mario and Luigi set. I'm definitely Luigi although Jayce always argues saying he's taller and doesn't even like Peach.
I call bs every time though. Just as I set the glasses on the counter Jayce walks in ruffling his hair with the towel I left in the bathroom.
My eyes widened as I realize he doesn't have a shirt on and I quickly avert my eyes grumbling under my breath as I blushed.
I heard Jayce laugh as he came and took a seat at the Island.
[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]
I poured water into the kettle from the sink then placed it on the stove as I turned it on.
"I thought you were washing my hair?" Jayce suddenly asked as I grabbed two spoons from the drawer.
"O-oh yeah," I blushed looking away, "must've slipped my mind" I giggled slightly as I looked up seeing Jayce's pout.
Now it was Jayce's turn to grumble as he shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips.
" I was thinking we have some cocoa first... ya know to um quench our thirsts?.." I trailed off more as a question then a statement and Jayce snorted as he rolled his eyes playfully.
"Right," he smirked gesturing to his body with his eyes, "I can understand why you're suddenly so parched...must be a struggle hm?" He asked in mock sadness.
I huffed rolling my eyes as I set the utensils down, "Only in your dreams party boy" I grunted resting my hands on the counter. I bow my chin towards my chest slightly as a silence overtook the room.
No one spoke for a couple minutes and as I thought about what to say Jayce beat me to it as he spoke suddenly.
"What are we?"
Ha like I'd know... I don't even know if your straight or not. I sighed softly as and kept my head down.
"It's been so confusing these last couple of months...I just don't know honestly," I mumbled looking up at him through my lashes.
"Like I know we had that conversation in the classroom that one day but it didn't clear everything up honestly," I continued in a quieter voice.
Jayce stood up from his spot on the island and came around to my side as he looked down at me, his green eyes piercing down at me it could only be described as wonder.
"What else do we need to clear up then because I thought I made everything clear?" He asked perplexed as he tilted his head and I couldn't decide whether to coo at the cute action or whine in distress.
"That's the thing...you didn't in my mind. I-I told you I have feelings for you and poured my heart out to you and all you did was basically say you like me too" I groaned getting frustrated. He wasn't getting it and I don't want to have to point it out like a fussy baby.
Jayce's brows furrowed as he shook his head slightly, "I'm.. not following. Isn't that what I was supposed to do? I told you I like you too what else was I supposed to say?" He asked sounding so confused.
I sighed waving my head in the air, "never mind," I mumbled defeated grabbing a pack of cocoa and pouring it into the Luigi mug.
Jayce suddenly grabbed the pack from my hand, tossing it onto the counter as he gently held my hands in his own.
I gasped at the sudden action and looked up into his memorizing eyes, they burned back so brightly.
"Tell me what you need me to do to get you to understand I do in fact like you. I mean do you want me to scream it? Write it on a billboard to the world?" He asked determined as his hands squeezed my own gently.
I looked away as I felt tears fill my eyes and tried desperately to will them away, "m-no" I choked out
Jayce carefully cupped my cheeks with both hands as he frowned deeply, "Then tell me" He whispered pressing his forehead against mine.
I held back a sob as I gripped his shirt desperately, "A-Assure me," I whispered back sadly.
Jayce chuckled softly peppering kisses all over my face passionately, a series of laughs escaping my throat as I held his elbows.
"Cam love, I truly do like you to the point to where I can't breathe. Like you physically take my breath away by simply doing nothing. Just the thought of you make me smile like a fucking idiot all throughout the class and when someone asks why I look like I've gone mad I say...I have. And it's all for you baby. And I knows it's cliche but you've brought out a better me in the best way possible". Jayce breathed out as he rested his lips just above my own.
I reached up wrapping my arms around Jayce's neck as hot tears flooded my flushed cheeks, burying my hands in the soft locks as I tried not to look away in embarrassment. This...this idiot makes my heart stop over and over again over the simplest of things and I never want it to stop.
"You just makes me so damn happy Cam and it's over the tiniest of things and it makes me appreciate life a little bit more every single time," he assured me.
He assured me so sweetly.
"I was stuck in the dark honestly and you're sweet light brought me out because you're my flashlight" he whispered finally and that was all it took for me to wail out a sound of happiness as I smashed our lips together.
The kiss was so messy and uncoordinated and full of my salty tears but that's what made it so real.
Because in the end I was his flashlight and he was mine.
