Chapter 30 – Morning Mischief ☀️💖
Jay's POV
The sun slipped through the blinds, streaks of gold painting across the sheets. The silence of the room was broken only by Keifer's steady breathing, his arm still heavy around my waist.
I tilted my head, studying him. For someone who drove me crazy half the time, he looked annoyingly peaceful right now. His lashes were long, his lips slightly parted — and his hair? Messy in the most perfect, I-woke-up-like-this way.
"Tch," I muttered, poking his cheek. "Even in his sleep he looks like a damn model."
He stirred, brows furrowing. I smirked and poked him again, harder this time. "Oi, mister Watson heir, wake up. I don't have all day."
"Mmm…" he groaned, tightening his grip around me. "Five more minutes, love."
😳 Love?! My heart skipped, but I quickly masked it with a scoff. "Excuse me? Who said you could call me that?"
He cracked one eye open, a lazy grin tugging at his lips. "Me."
I rolled my eyes, trying to wriggle free. "You're impossible."
But the more I moved, the more his hold tightened until I was practically glued against his chest. His morning voice rumbled low, sending shivers down my spine. "Stay still. You're mine."
🔥 Damn him.
"You're clingier than a koala," I muttered, hiding the stupid smile threatening to break on my lips.
"And you're cuter than one," he teased back, brushing his lips against my forehead.
I froze for a split second — then pushed his face away dramatically. "Ew. Don't get all cheesy on me this early. I might puke."
He chuckled, the sound deep and annoyingly attractive. "Yet you're blushing."
"I'm not!" I snapped, throwing a pillow at his face.
Wrong move. Because in a heartbeat, he had me pinned down again, his weight caging me to the bed, his smirk absolutely infuriating.
"Liar," he whispered, brushing his nose against mine.
My chest pounded so loud I swore he could hear it. "Keifer…"
But instead of kissing me like I expected, he suddenly tickled my side.
"AHHHH! KEIFER, STOP!" I shrieked, laughing uncontrollably. I kicked and thrashed, but he was too strong, his laughter mixing with mine. Tears pricked the corner of my eyes from laughing too much.
Finally, he stopped, collapsing beside me, both of us breathless. His hand found mine naturally, fingers intertwining.
For a moment, everything stilled. No business empires, no enemies, no mafia side I had to hide. Just us. Just Jay and Keifer.
"You know what?" he murmured, staring at the ceiling.
"What?" I asked, side-eyeing him.
"I could get used to this. Waking up next to you, fighting with you, laughing with you…" He turned his head, eyes locking with mine. "It feels like home."
💖 My heart softened in ways I didn't expect. Damn it.
I looked away quickly, hiding the warmth in my chest with my usual sass. "Don't get too comfortable, Watson. I might run away one day just to mess with you."
He squeezed my hand tighter. "And I'll chase you to the ends of the earth."
Silence. Heavy. Real.
And just like that, my phone buzzed again on the nightstand.
That same message flashed on the screen
"The real game starts now."
My smile faded.
Keifer noticed instantly, his expression shifting from soft to sharp. "What's wrong?"
I forced a smirk, slipping out of bed. "Nothing. Just business."
But deep inside, I knew… this peace wouldn't last.
