Chapter 28

A/N: I expected you guys calling me crazy but instead most of you congratulated me lol

Jade's POV

Perrie and I pulled away when air became an issue. We could see in each other's eyes we both wanted more, but decided to continue until we got to our house. Even though we didn't care whatever Jesy was trying to do to interrupt us, we didn't want her to feel uncomfortable watching us eating each other's face off. Perrie yawned and rest her head on my shoulder.

"I miss you Jadey" She mumbled and closed her eyes.

"Don't we spend the whole day together?" I giggled.

"But you was not with me half of the night" She said in her baby voice and yawned again.

"I am here now Pez. You are tired go to sleep babe." I kissed her forehead and brushed her hair softly. She hummed and wrapped her arms around my torso. I kept stroking her hair until I was certain she had fell asleep. I turned my head and saw Jesy smiling at me.

"See. She wants you, not Luke" Jesy gave me a look saying "I told you so". I smiled and gave the sleeping beauty a peck on her forehead.

"You two stay at our house tonight as usual?" I asked Jesy

"No but you need to help me put Leigh to bed."

"Why? You can stay at ours so we can all look after Leigh in case she does anything crazy. You know her..." I trailed off

"It's fine. Besides, you and Perrie needs to talk." She looked at me knowingly

"I don't know..." I sighed

"That one" She pointed at Perrie.

"Is very sensitive. I think she already sensed something's up when you left her with Luke"

"But why? You said I am an idiot to think like that...why should I tell her my stupid thought?"

"Yes I did but that's because I am an outsider so I could see and think things clearly, unlike you two. And I think Perrie just wants to know what's in your head, I am sure she would understand. Jade you have a tendency to keep things to yourself, and I know you do that because you don't want to bother other people. But Perrie is not the other, she is your girlfriend, you shouldn't keep things from her. Honesty is the key to keep people together and make a bond stronger, just like us four." Jesy reasoned and I knew deeply in my heart...she's right

"I did promise her I would try to open up to her more..." I mumbled

"I don't know if you noticed, but you have already became more open to people now, comparing to the shy little Jade I first met at the X Factor, and I know Perrie is a huge part of this." Jesy smiled

"I did notice. You and Leigh help too, thank you." I gave her a grateful smile and chuckled when she nodded her head cockily.

"I will talk to her" I looked at Jesy with determination in my eyes, which earned a proud smile from her.

"I still have one thing to thank you though" I smirked

"What?" Jesy frowned, not knowing what I was implying at

"You do realize I could never have the strength to drag you for even a meter if you really fought me right?" I raised my eyebrows at her, and her lips curved up after hearing my words.

"You. My friend. Indeed is the intelligent one in the group." I giggled when she said in her famous Scottish accent.

"I guess you did that because of what I told you at the club?" I deduced

"Bingo! That's why I told you to save her cause I wanted you to know that Perrie needs you just as much as you needs her, so you would drop the burden shit. I wanted you to be the one to help her but you ended up dragging me with you..." She gave me a glare

"In that case you can just relax and let us do the hard work too..." I retorted

"Okay okay I do admit that's one of my intention too..." She gave in.

"But as a great friend of your's, I helped eventually right?" I laughed when she flipped her hair. I didn't say anything and waited for her to continue.

"I let you cause I know how bad you wanted to help Perrie, even though I really didn't want to go. And you definitely have some strength Jade, look at my poor arm" She showed me her left arm and I could see the upper part of the skin was slightly red

"Gosh I am sorry Jes I didn't realize I gripped your arm this hard." I felt really bad for doing this to her when all she wanted was trying to help me

"You did but don't worry it doesn't hurt. Did you see how her face lit up when she saw how strong you was? It was priceless" She snickered

"Yeah" I smiled down at Perrie and pecked her head.

"I didn't fight you because what's the point right? I would help you anyway, but I didn't know you would catch on to it"

"That's too obvious you know" I laughed

"Sometimes I wish you aren't that smart Thirlwall." She grumbled

"No. I am not. Otherwise, those silly thought won't come up in my mind..." I sighed

"Love can make someone a fool Jade. Even I, the smartest person in this world, had done some silly things in the past when it came to love..." I giggled at her arrogance but contained my eagerness to retort as she did have a point and she had helped me a lot.

"That just means you love this person too much so you couldn't help but overthink and overdo things" She added

"That's true." I hummed

I looked down and a smile appeared on my face when I saw my beautiful blonde slept peacefully in my arms. Normally it would be the other way around, when I was the one being held in her strong arms. Sometimes I forget I am actually older than her when she is always the one protecting me and compromising anything I want, but I definitely don't mind reversing our roles occasionally. I leaned in and left a lingering kiss on her forehead.

I love you and I am a fool for you

Perrie's POV

I slowly woke up when I felt a small hand trying to pull my arm away from the warmth I was holding tightly on. I didn't need to open my eyes to know who that person was, because the familiar fuzzy feeling that was sending through my whole body already given it out, cause there is only one person in this world could have this effect on me.

"No. Jeed no." I whined, and snuggled closer to her body.

"Baby I am sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up..." She apologized in her cute voice

"It's okay. Please don't leave me." I tighten my grip on her waist and begged her in my baby voice, hoping she would compromise.

"I want to stay Pez I really do...but I need to help Jesy..." I slowly opened my eyes and looked up, seeing a pairs of sad honey brown eyes staring back at me, and I knew she really felt bad about it. Even though I wanted nothing more but to keep cuddling to my lovely girlfriend, I knew she had to go. If I continued asking her to stay, she would feel worse and I didn't want that

"I will help you then" I untangled my arms from Jade's torso and stretched my arms, trying to awake my still tiring body.

"No baby you just wake up, you stay here and rest. I will be back once I help Jesy to put Leigh to bed. I promise it won't be long yeah?" I didn't want to let her and Jesy to do all the work but she was right, I wasn't completely awake yet and I knew I won't help much even though I wanted to. I pouted and slowly nodded my head.

"Aw..." She leaned in and connected our lips, but she pulled away too soon for my liking, the pout was still on my face

"I will be back soon I promise" She pecked my lips a few more times until my pout was gone. I giggled and nodded.

She got out of the car and went to Jesy, who was already outside waiting for her. They went to the back and dragged Leigh out of the car, who was still unconscious, and wrapped her arms on their shoulders and walked her to Lesy's house. My gaze never left them until they eventually disappeared inside the house.

I shook my head laughing lightly when I recalled how clingy I was earlier. I might be the tough and strong one in the relationship...but I am also really affectionate towards the one I love, and my affection level would rise to a new high when I felt a strong longing for her. My laugh stopped when I remembered the reason why I now have such an unhealthy craving for Jade.

Jade and I have some kind of...connection, not precisely but we could sense how the other was feeling, like happy, nervous or worried. No words needed, might be just a glance or a touch, we don't actually know how it functions, we just...knew. That's why it scared me when I sensed Jade was kinda distant at the club, like she really didn't want to be with me...So when she insisted me to stay with Luke, I listened, even though every part of me wanted to just walk away to be with her. But surely our senses could be mistaken, especially when Jade is a complicated and mysterious person. I don't think I could ever completely understand her, unless she is willing to tell me what she was thinking. This time I really hope my sense was wrong

To be fair Luke is a funny and friendly guy and I could remember laughing at some of his jokes, but I couldn't remember most of our conversation, cause my mind was fully occupied by Jade. I managed to put a smile on my face the whole time to cover up I was not paying attention at all, and I thought he didn't have a clue I was not listening to whatever he was saying.

Even though I tried not to, my gaze couldn't help but always wandering back to the person who I truly wanted to be with. My smile dropped when I saw Jade seems to have a serious talk with Jesy. Is anything bothering her? Does she need Jesy's advice on something? Why can't I join the conversation and why can't she just talk to me? Maybe she think she needs to spend time with Jesy, when she had already spent half of the night with me. Maybe she feels the need to let me talk with someone else. Maybe she thinks I was too clingy and she need some time away from me, which I really hope was not the reason...I had grown so attached to her, and I don't wanna ever leave her side. I would stay with her forever if she lets me. But if it isn't what she wants, I am willing to give her space...even if it kills me. I would give her what she wants as long as she is happy.

Then she turned her head and meet my gaze, I immediately put back my best fake smile and even gave her a wink, hopefully she would believe I had fun talking to Luke, like she wanted me to. Little did she knows I am dying to leave and sprint over to her side holding her body closely against mine.

And I did, eventually, when I saw the pout on her face, and before I knew my feet were already moving in fast speed to where my brunette was, pulling her towards me wanting to protect her from anything, even though I knew it's only Jesy.

Then I started to panic when I remembered she might not want me. She wanted some distance and I was doing the total opposite. But her reaction soon calmed me down before I pulled away, when I felt her small arms wrapping around my torso with her head resting at my chest. I didn't sense distant anymore. I sense warm and affectionate.

But I am not gonna lie, it confused me so much with her contradicted behaviour.

"Pez why you look so sad?" I didn't realize I was frowning the whole time I was in deep thought. I felt myself being pulled by a pairs of tiny arms and soon engulfed by her warm body. I immediately wrapped my arms tightly around her waist and snuggled up to her, not wanting to leave any space between us.

"Baby what's wrong?" Jade cooed, slowly stroking my hair. I looked up and saw her sweet brown eyes staring back at me worriedly, her lips curved down a little bit making my heart clenched. I hate to be the one making her upset.

"I miss you...and your smile" I removed my arms from her body and cupped her face. My thumbs softly brushing the corners of her lips trying to bring her lips upwards into a smile. I grinned when I saw her lips slowly curved up.

"I am not going anywhere anymore. I am all yours now baby I promise" She assumed me and gave me a tender kiss, which made my heart leaps with joy by how gentle she was treating me.

We smiled at each other when we pulled away. I rested my head on her shoulder and buried my face at the crook of her neck. I decided to put all the questions to the back of my head for now and enjoy the moment we were sharing right now, which I had been waiting for all night. I would leave the serious talk until we back home.

"I love you Jade"

"I love you too Pez"

A/N: I know there is no huge progress in the storyline but I really want to write detailed chapter so you know how Jerrie were feeling and thinking. The only problem is how am I gonna finish this book, maybe it would take me years and would end up with 100+ chapters LMAO
