Bridge To Delphilia

❥ Chapter Eight: Matched

I woke up in someone's arms and I smiled. I reached out for Jack's face and showered him with feathery kisses. We were up late last night, planning out things. We almost argue with names for the baby. Silly. If it were up to me, I wouldn't want this mood and moment to stop. To be filled with joy and happiness everyday is what I've always wanted to have. And I'm going to make things right starting today.

"Good morning." Jack muttered huskily. The bed made a creak sound. Funny how we're both curled up in a small and comfy bed. He slept like a rock unlike me, always moving.

"Morning." I greeted back. He slowly pulled out of the blanket and stood up. He fixed his hair and planted a chaste kiss on my lips before grabbing the jacket on the armrest. Based on the wall clock, it's six forty-five in the morning. It's still early but he mentioned something about finalizing something.

"You can stay in bed. I'll be back later. We'll have breakfast together." He muttered. I nodded and smiled at him at the same time. He looks dashing even with his slightly damped hair. Jack is taller than Art and has a more masculine build. I smiled wider. He came last night and didn't ignore me just like the last time. I wonder if I can change the result of the bet?

"Do you want me to fetch you a hot chocolate?" He saw my empty tumblr on the bedside small drawer. I shook my head. I can do it myself. He grabbed his bag pack and put the strap on his shoulder before swinging the curtain. But before he leaves, he turned to me and walked to my direction.

"You forgot something?" I asked. He smiled and crouched in front of me so we're on eye level.

"Uh-huh." He muttered before he claimed my mouth with his. He leaned closer until our foreheads touch, our chest panting. He closed his eyes before planting a gentle kiss on my forehead.

"Maybe I'll transfer some of my things here." He teased. I immediately slapped his left shoulder lightly. His joke makes me want to take him up.

"I'll be back in my room as soon as the surgeon gives me a 'go' sign." He chuckled at me and then caressed my stomach. He's drawing small circles on it and I giggle. I pinched his cheek before kissing his nose.

"Then it's settled. I'll be back in a minute. Can't keep my eyes off of you." I cringe my nose. He's super sweet today and I can't get over it so I pushed him gently away from me. "Alright. Now, off you go." He chuckled until he finally closed the curtain between us. I can't help but smile from ear to ear. I'm in love once more. Deeper this time.

A minute later, the three idiots came but with another one. They're all here once again with plastic trays in their hands. This room isn't some canteen or something.

"Good morning my Queen. Sorry to interrupt your sleep but we just want to eat with you." Matt said as he handed me a bowl full of chicken noodle soup. "Why are y'all here again?" I asked before crossing my arms. I put the bowl and the rise they brought on the desk beside my bed.

"Chill out okay? We just to eat together like college days." Art answered. I narrowed my eyes at them and raised my brow after. Surely they're not just here because of that. "Really, guys. Just spill the tea." I closed my eyes in annoyance after. Lauren raised both of her hands in the air. "Alright, one out of Seven." I rolled my eyes at Art and gave him dagger stares. He won't just shut up.

"We figured you're lonely here since Jack didn't even visit you last night." She sighed. I pursed my lips, stifling a laugh. They really don't know about anything. I smirked and grabbed my wallet.

"How about we bet now?" I offered. They looked at each other and Prim just shrugged. Art collected their money. I'm surprised they brought a lot of paper bills. I only have five hundred bucks and my debit card with me. They all bet that Jack won't come today before they finished their breakfast and I handed five dollar bills to Art to bet on the opposite. He'll be back any minute now, I'm sure.
