Different

15.

"Need any help?" he asks, still sleepy. 

I signal him no, as I put the eggs on two plates. Jace hops back into bed. I guess breakfast in bed it is. I find two forks and make my way back over.

Since my hands are full, Jace lifts the covers for me, and I sit back down to hand him his plate.#

 "Thank you, you didn't have to do that" Jace says, and digs into his eggs.

"No problem" I smile at him.

"How are you feeling?" Jace asks, as he continues to eat.

"Really good. I slept like a baby" I smile again and Jace does the same.

"Good, I'm glad." 

"I'm really sorry for last night, once again" I say, turning to him. "I didn't mean for any of it to happen" I add quickly.

"Don't worry about it. I think we just need to stop hanging out when you're drunk" Jace laughs.

"Although, you know when I think about it... you always seem to be in the mood when we're up in that room at the frat house" he says playfully, knowing I'll feel embarrassed.

"Stop" I say, avoiding his eyes. 

Jace chuckles once again. Soon, the both of us finish our breakfast. 

Jace takes my plate as well as his and puts them onto the nightstand. He grabs his phone and reads some of his messages and I can't help but wonder if he has more drug request that he's reading right now.

"I hope you don't have any plans for today. If you do, cancel them" Jace says all serious, and puts his phone away.

"What do you mean?" I ask curiously.

Of course I don't have plans. I'm not visiting home until next weekend and Bree is probably busy.

"It's a surprise" he says grinning, lifting the covers to stand up. 

"I'm going to take a shower. You want to come?" he adds, and I almost choke on my on spit.

"What?" I say, probably looking as stupid as ever.

"I'm kidding. Although I'd love for you to join" he says chuckling, but then being serious again.

I smile at him shyly, as he disappears in the bathroom. I hear the shower turning on seconds after.

Taking the time to check my own messages, I see that we made a group chat with the girls yesterday. Apparently I let them know I'm leaving with Jace in that chat. 

I have a couple of responses from them, saying things like. Sarah texted Get it Girl. I laugh at her comment. No one's getting anything, girl. Bree said Be safe! It seems like they made it home alright.

I also send my mom a good morning text and, for a change, also decide to see how my sister's doing. We have a good relationship, don't get me wrong. We just don't talk as often.

Jace only takes about five minutes in the bathroom, and he comes back out with only a towel wrapped around his waist. I try not to stare, but it's harder than one might think. 

"Bathroom's yours" he says, while going over to his closet.

If I take a shower now, I would have to put on my clothes from last night. That would involve my underwear. I cringe just thinking about it. 

"Actually, do you mind if I shower at the dorm? I'd hate to shower and then change back into my clothes from yesterday" I say shyly.

"Of course, no problem" he answers and takes some clothes with him into the bathroom to change. 

He probably knew I would have been uncomfortable, if he just did that right here. When Jace comes back outside, a gentle wave of his perfume hits me. He smells so amazing that I almost forget what to do with myself.

"Are you coming?" he says. 

I get up from bed and quickly put on my pants.

"Yeah, sorry" I say and follow him out the door. 

I decide to just leave his shirt on this time. We quickly arrive at my dorm and Jace follows me, to wait in my room for me. I unlock the door, and once again Bree isn't here.

"Where's your roommate?" he asks and sits on my bed, since he has to wait for me a little while.

"She's probably at this guy's place. His name's Austin, they've been seeing each other for a little while" I answer, grabbing all the stuff I need so Jace won't have to wait that long.

"What's her name?" he asks, looking deep in thought.

"Bree" I answer, while grabbing my towel.

"Shit. That means you're talking about my Austin" Jace chuckles. "He's a really good friend of mine, he talks about her all the time." 

I smile back at him. "I'll have to tell her. Small world" I say to that. "Okay, I'll be right back. I won't be long" I add, and head for the door.

"You know I could still join you" he says cheekily.

"It's a girls shower room, so no" I say chuckling, still getting a little red.

I head out the door and hit the showers. I wonder what Jace has planned, that is so important I needed to cancel my plans. Not that I had any, but I'm still curious.

I keep my shower short and quickly change into the fresh clothes I brought. My outfit consist of light blue boyfriend jeans, a dark sweater and black platform Vans today. I don't know if I need to dress up, but since Jace is also wearing something casual, I think I should be fine. In ten short minutes, I'm back in my room and see that Jace is still in the same position.

"You ready?" he says while eying me up and down. 

"Yeah, I just need to dry my hair" I answer. 

I do just that and add a little make up, while Jace is still busy on his phone. We're silent, so before I get ready I put on some music on my laptop. 

"Are you going to tell me about these plans of yours?" I ask curiously, trying to make some conversation.

"Nope, no chance. Just wait and see" Jace smirks.

"Okay, well I'm ready" I sigh and grab everything I need.

If only Jace knew how anxious he's making me.
