That's Life

Chapter 5

•Elias' POV•
Nicole, we need to talk. I said to Nicole whose eating a pack of chips

About? She ask with a mouth-full of chips

I sigh and sit on a chair.

I am different. I said and she looks at me confused

What do you mean? She ask me

I was born with a male genitalia. I said and she suddenly laugh

Now, it's my turn to confusingly look at her.

Why are you laughing? I ask her

Elias, come on we've been friends for 3 years. Why would you think that I wouldn't accept you? She said

Uhmm... I said and scratch my head

Thought so. She said

Now... a little bird told me that you're in a relationship with Miss Jessica Winston, Am I right? She ask me and my eyes widen

How did you?! I ask her

Elias, I have eyes everywhere. She said and stood up from her seat

Don't worry, no one will know about this even the government. She simply said and left the room

I slump on the chair and rub my head nervously.

•10:00pm•
Where are you taking me, Elias? Jessica ask me that has a towel wrapped around her face

I guide her gently so she can get a better view of the stars. I carefully remove the towel around her face and I heard her gasp.

Wow... She breathe out while looking at the stars

Definitely, Wow... I said while looking at her

Hey! You're not looking at the stars. She said and blush

But the view of you is more better. I said and hug her from behind

I kiss the side of her head and start swaying. I hum pleasantly while swaying with her.

She turns around and kiss my lips tenderly. I reciprocate the kiss and felt her hand on my chest.

She pulls away and peck my lips before resting her head on my chest.

Seconds later, I heard soft snores coming from Jessica making me chuckle quietly and kiss her forehead. I carefully carry her to the car and push a button that made the car seat turn into a bed. I gently lay her on the bed and turn off the lights. I remove my clothes leaving me in my white sleeveless shirt and boxers.

I slowly lay next to Jessica and she automatically snuggle into me. I kiss her forehead and wrap my arm around her torso.

•3:00am•
I woke up by someone crying and I open my eyes to see Jessica crying. I immediately went to a sitting position and gently put her on my lap.

Baby... what's wrong? Why are you crying? I ask and wipe her tears away

I just had a dream, that's all. She said

What did you dreamt about? I ask her

Just losing you. She said and bury her face in my chest

That would never happen, you know that I love for you right? I ask her

Of course, I know that. She mutter
in my chest

Now, go back to sleep. I said and kiss her forehead

I gently lay her on the bed and she immediately snuggle into me when I lay beside her.

Love you, Elias. She said and I smile at her

Love you too, baby. I said and she peck me on the lips before going to sleep

I kiss her forehead before going to sleep.
