She looks up at me, and I smile down at her.Forever and always.
She’s so fucking beautiful when she sleeps. So beautiful it hurts. Lying like a kitten, so soundly.
Damn, when didyouget poetic?
I’ve never thought about a girl like this before. But I’ve also neveradoreda girl as much as I adore her. I’ve never felt safer with anyone. And she’s only eighteen. As of today. I smile at that thought.
She’s even more beautiful when she’s nude. Her body’s hidden from me under the covers, but she looks like a piece of art right now. Lying in a slight fetal position, clutching the covers. Her long eyelashes lie over her eyelids. She’s gorgeous. Everything about her is so feminine, it makes me ache.
I don’t deserve this.
I don’t deserveher.
But I want her.
Before I can stop myself, I lean forward and kiss her forehead. I’ve always wanted to do that. She slowly opens her eyes. There they are. Those doe eyes.
She gives me a tired smile and clutches the covers closer to her. “Hey,” she says softly.
“Good morning, beautiful.” This makes her smile bigger. Good. I want it to stay there. I’d have her smiling every damn minute of the day if I had my way. “Are you okay? Are you sore?” I ask, holding her center.
She lets out a soft sigh. “I’m okay. I’m a little sore, but it should get better soon. Though, I don’t know how these things work,” she laughs out. I kiss her forehead again and pull her closer to me, her coming to me willingly.
“It’ll probably take a bit for the soreness to go away, baby. Just as long as I didn’t hurt you last night.”
“You didn’t. It was just my first time.”
Trust me, I know. I can’t stop obsessing over how good she feels and looks. This morning-after look is so beautiful on her.
“You’re so beautiful right now, Leia. Not that you aren’t all the time, but being with you and seeing you like this is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen.”
She smiles again. “Says the guy who’s seen more ass than the toilet seat.” I can’t help but laugh at that. I shouldn’t, but...she’s not wrong.
“And now it’s only yours I want.” Her face turns serious, and she smiles again. A genuine smile. God, that smile. “I don’t want you to think I’m saying this in the heat of the moment, but...I want you. I want you exclusively and officially. I want you to be my girlfriend, if you’ll have me, of course.” After I hear myself say it, it gives me chills. Her mouth opens in surprise as she holds her breath. She’s about to say something, but I kiss her before she can.
“I just wanted to tell you. Because I mean it. And I’llalwaysmean it. You have my heart, Allie. No one can take that from you. Even if you leave me for another Nick, you’ll always be mine in my head and heart,” I say, kissing her again.
Her eyes water suddenly, so I reach up to wipe the corners of them. “Jake, I don’t know what to say,” she says softly.
“It’s okay, babe. I just wanted to tell you. And ask you,” I laugh out. “So will you? Will you be my girlfriend?” I dread her answer. What if she fucking says no? What will I do then? Say, ‘Oh, okay’? She’s biting her bottom lip and looking over my face before smiling and nodding her head. “Yeah?”
“Yes,” she laughs out. There aren’t a lot of things I can say I’m excited about. But hearing that sweet word from her mouth after asking her to be my girlfriend is probably the most exciting thing to ever happen to me.
I kiss her as she laughs against my lips. “Happy birthday, babe,” I say playfully.
She smiles at me. “Thank you.”
I don’t even have anything planned for the day. What should we do?
“What do you want to do today? I didn’t really have anything planned since I’ve sort of forgotten,” I chuckle out. I could take her out to dinner, but I don’t know if that’s considered special.
“I don’t know, you figure it out.” She waggles her eyebrows at me as she gets up from bed. I enjoy the view as she walks to her suitcase to pull out something. She bends over, and I can’t help the groan that leaves my mouth. She turns around, smiling. “You’re such a horndog.”
“You’re the one bending down in front of me.” She laughs, but I’m serious. Her body isbanging. I’ve dreamt about that body more times than I can count. I’ve been inside that body. And now I’m suddenly craving that body. “Babe, come lie back down. Maybe we could spend time in bed today.”
She sees right through me. “We’re not spending time in bed on my birthday because you’re horny. Get dressed and get us breakfast.” She’s been my girlfriend for one minute and isalreadydemanding breakfast. If I weren’t falling for her, I would protest.Falling for her. Shit, I’m falling for her. I smile at the thought, which she notices. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just...I’m just happy.” She smiles at me and comes back to bed. She gives me a peck, and I look into her eyes. “On second thought, breakfast can wait.” I pick her up and muffle her scream and laugh as I cuddle her. I just need a few more minutes.
