CHAPTER 38- YOUR ROOM

Hi! Better late than never right? Have you got your seatbelts on?

Enjoy le update people.

For one complete week Jayden and Lara had been discreetly seeing each other as they had been devoting their time to building up their friendship. Friendship which had begun to bloom into something so tender and gentle.

Jayden had gotten to know a side of Lara he had never known existed. This Lara was sweet, funny, caring, and lovable. He had begun to feel at home with her, and it had only been a week.

The same with Lara. She had realized that beneath the heavily attractive body, was something deeper. There was a person. And even though this person had been subconsciously in need of genuine love and support, he didn't falter in sharing some of his, which made her grow fonder of him.

Three nights into their relationship, Jayden had opened up about his past to her. The deepest, darkest sides of it. The parts she hadn't been aware of, and maybe shouldn't have been, but he hadn't wanted to keep anything from her as they had promised to be sincere with each other, and build their relationship based on trust and respect.

However, he had inwardly feared that she would pass judgement, make reservations about him or slowly push away from him.

But she had done none. All she had done was to listen to him speak, without interfering or asking questions. Her eyes had watered at some points due to the guilt that had gnawed at her conscience, but she had quickly blinked back the tears. She had fixed her eyes on him as he spoke; as he confessed it all, while they had been sitting in the comfort of her bed. And when he had finished speaking, he had finally been able to return his gaze to hers, bracing himself for the worst, but unexpectedly, she had wrapped her arms around him and embraced him.

It had been an assuring embrace. The kind that made you feel like nothing else in the world mattered, and that you were worth something even if everything else made you feel like you weren't.

Jayden stroked Lara's hair as she lay beside him with her head resting on his chest, as they lay on the white fluffy rug situated in the center of the white-walled soundproofed room he referred to as the 'quiet room', which once happened to be his therapy room.

They continued with their 'favourite quotes' game as the dim fluorescence from the corner situated aquarium softly illuminated a small portion of the room with streaks of white, sea blue and red alternatively.

"You can't please everyone," Jayden began, "No matter how hard you try, somebody will always find fault in the things you do. Don't waste your time trying." His deep voice reverberated through his clothed chest as Lara fixed her eyes on the gentle circular motion of her index finger on his chest.

"That's true." She murmured, savouring the soothing feeling of his fingers buried in her thick hair as she moved on to her quote,

"To heal a wound, you need to stop touching it."

Jayden jokingly continued for her,

"And to heal a boner, you need to start touching it." He chuckled as Lara slapped his chest while suppressing her laughter.

Jayden ran his free hand through his surprisingly tamed dark tresses as he moved on to his next quote,

"Judge me only when you are perfect."

Lara mumbled, "That's one of my favourites too. So many people feel like they're on top of the world. That they're better than other people. It's terrible."

Jayden exhaled as he drew his fingers down to her ear, and continued with his gentle, sensual motion.

Lara voiced out, "My turn. Relationships are not about finding the perfect partner, but learning to see your imperfect partner perfectly."
