Destined To Be Greatness novel Chapter 25

I stayed in the forest for hours with Jay curled up in my lap. The tears and long since dried up and instead of the occasional hiccup she let out a soft snore. I didn't want to disturb her from her peaceful sleep, so I slowly stood up and carrying her bridle style I started to make my way back to the house. When I got there I found Josh one of the triplets sat on the front porch.

"What are you-!" Josh started to shout but I silenced him with a glare.

"She's asleep," I whispered. Josh looked down at the sleepy Jay and smiled.

"I haven't seen her so peaceful in a long time." He said then looked back up to me. "Thank you."

I was puzzled, "what for?"

"For looking after her when she went off, staying with her, for bringing her home and for helping her sleep peacefully." He smiled again. I knew exactly why she was peaceful, it's because I'm her mate and we have that effect on each other but I didn't say anything as I didn't want to start an argument with him.

"It's not a problem; I'm just trying to be a good friend." I sighed looking down at Jay longingly. I looked back up when I felt a pat on my shoulder.

"You're an alright guy Cameron," he said before walking back inside. I was puzzled, what did he mean by that? I didn't ponder over it too much as I still have a sleeping mate in my arms.

I quickly and quietly made my way inside and up two flights of stairs before I made it to Jay's room. I opened the door shakily as it was hard to hold her with one arm; I went inside and placed her down on her bed. I took her shoes and jacket off placing them neatly on a chair nearby and tucked her into bed. I stood back and stared at her for a moment. If someone was to walk in now I would probably look like a crazy stalker. I smiled at the thought. I wouldn't care if anybody thought that, I was crazy in love with this girl and I needed to prove that to her.

I kissed her forehead before I backed away from her bed and stood in the doorway for a few more seconds just memorizing her sleeping form in my mind.

Penny and Leon started laughing.

"What is wrong with you two?" I asked with concern. They sure are perfect for each other, they're completely nuts!

"Oh my dear sweet Jay, your face is simply funny at times." She said with a smile. What is she trying to say that my face is funny?! Why am I talking to myself?! Snap out of it Jay!

"What are you trying to say that my face is funny?!" I asked outraged.

"Sure is," Leon smiled at me. They both started laughing again; I just stood there utterly confused. I looked at the pair closely thinking that they've only known each other for about a week, they are comfortable with each other and they have really hit it off. Leon's arms are around Penny's waist with his head resting on her shoulder.
