Unexpected Fate

Chapter 9

Jay’s Pov

I woke up to find Jess was no longer hugging up to me. I looked up at the clock on the night stand, 5:45 a.m. I rolled back over to find Jess hugging to a pillow. She was rolled up in all the cover. She looked so beautiful. A chill went down my body. I slowly started to pull some of the stolen cover toward me, trying not to disturb Jess. She began to move. I sat still for a moment, to make sure I didn't wake her. I finished pulling the cover over my body and suddenly Jess backed herself into me. Her but was now right at my waste. I felt myself beginning to get aroused. I slightly backed away. Control yourself, I thought to myself. Once I could no longer resist the urge, I sat up on the edge of the bed. I rubbed my face and got up, grabbed some clothes and went to the bathroom. I put on the clean clothes and decided I should go get breakfast. It was now 6:15 a.m. The hotel served breakfast at six. I slipped on my shoes and walked out quietly, shutting the door behind me.

Jess POV

I woke up and rolled over to find Jay was gone. I wiped my face trying to wake up a little better. I got up and stumbled to the bathroom sink, and splashed some cold water on my face. I looked up in the mirror and my hair was a mess. I took the ponytail holder out and brushed it quickly. I put my hair back in the ponytail and climbed back into the nice comfy bed. I glanced at the clock, it was 6:25 am. I wondered where Jay had gone off to, I thought to myself. I lay there thinking about last night. I woke up at one point and I was cuddling Jay. It was nice, I thought. There was something about his touch that left me wanting more. I wished I knew how he felt. He probably doesn't think of me that way. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard the sound of the door unlocking and Jay walked through it holding two plates of pancakes, eggs, and bacon.

"I got breakfast." Jay said with a smile.

"Good, I'm starving." I replied. "Thank you."

I got up and walked over to the small table. Jay's eyes followed me, as I sat across from him.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing." Jay replied. "So I figured after we eat we should probably get ready to hit the road."

"Okay." I nodded.

"I don't want to stop until we have reached Montana, or at least close. We've only got two days until the next ferry leaves."

"Sounds great to me. Have you heard from my brothers? Is Jace okay?"

"No, I figured I would call Adam when we made our first rest stop."

I nodded and kept eating. I was worried about my brother. The separation was killing me. I wish I hadn't lost my phone. I finished my plate and threw it away. I grabbed some clothes out of my bag and started to the bathroom. I slipped on a spaghetti strap shirt with a pair of blue jeans. When I walked out of the bathroom, Jay was loading our things into the car. He kept out a tshirt and a pair of shorts.

"I'm going to jump in the shower real fast before we go." Jay told me.

"Okay, is everything loaded?" I asked.

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll just watch some TV then."

I sat up on the bed, grabbed the remote and started flipping through the channels. I couldn't but think about Jay being naked just a few feet away in the bathroom. I can imagine how sexy he probably looked with nice hot water running down his muscular body. The thought made me tingle and sent chills down my body. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a knock at the door. I started to panic slightly. I got up and walked toward the bathroom and cracked the door. "Jay," I whispered.

"Jess, I'm in the shower." Jay replied.

I walked in and turned to face the door, not looking in Jay's direction. "There's someone at the door," I said.

"Shit." Jay said. I heard the water turn off. " Can you hand me that towel please?" Jay asked.

Jay took the towel and wrapped it around his waste and stepped out of the shower. When I turned around, Jay was standing right next to me, we were so close, in the small bathroom, I could feel the heat off of his body from the steaming hot shower. I could smell the Axe body wash on him. We heard the knock again.

"I'll go check it out.You stay here." Jay said.

I nodded, stunned at the sight of Jay standing half almost completely naked in front of me.He brushed past me, opening the door and closing it behind him. I stood there nervously. I heard the door open. I could hear Jay talking but couldn't make out who was on the other side of the door. Finally, the door shut and I could hear footsteps walking back toward the bathroom. I opened the door and peeked out. Jay was standing in front of me.

He flashed a smile and a slight laugh and said, "It was room service, Jess."

I let out a sigh of relief "Sorry I thought..."

"It's okay," Jay interrupted, "You don't have to be so nervous. We are over a hundred miles away."

Jay kind of laughed and I gave him a smile. I felt a little embarrassed and I was starting to blush.

"I'll...ugh...let you get back to your shower." I said.

"Okay," Jay smiled.

I walked out of the bathroom and sat back down on the bed. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed and stupid. Really? The maid? I thought to myself. Jess, you gotta get it together. You just flipped out over the maid. I told myself. Then I heard the water turn, Jay was getting dressed and I heard the door start to open. I shook my head and looked up at the TV.

"You ready?" Jay smiled.

"Yes,let's go." I replied.

Jay and I walked out the room and got into the car.
