Bishop

I’m afraid that if I move, she’s going to disappear. I’ve been laying here, watching her sleep for about an hour like a creeper.

I can’t help it, she’s fucking gorgeous and, the kicker is she’s mine. Mine! Part of me wants to hear her say it again so I can make sure I didn’t make it up all in my head.

Last night was a nightmare. I wanted to ask Lilly to be my girlfriend after maybe a date or two. Spend time with her, show her how much I love being with her.

With the way the life in her was draining so quickly after my asshole of a best friend hurt her yet again, I knew I had to act quickly before she convinced herself that no one wanted her.

I love Toby, I do. And I know that he’s for sure off his meds, there’s no doubt in my mind about that, but he’s hurt Lilly one too many times. There’s only so much you can blame your mental health on before it’s clear you need to do something about it.

He needs to get back on his meds and show that he’s doing better before I even let him get anywhere near my girl.

I won’t give him a chance to hurt her again. I know he doesn’t mean to; he loves Lilly so hard that he’s hurting himself because of it. He’s so blinded by his own past and issues that he can’t see the damage he’s doing, even if it’s unintentional.

He fucked her in that locker room then left like a bat out of hell. I don’t know what was going through his mind to do that, but it was fucked up.

Lilly deserves so much better, and I’m going to make sure she gets it. If that means keeping my best friend away from her until he’s better, then I will. I never thought it would come to this point, but if I have to choose between the two of them, I will pick Lilly every time.

“Are you done yet?” Lilly’s sleepy voice murmurs as her eyes slowly blink open.

A smile twitches at my lips. I brush the hair from her face, letting my hand linger, rubbing her cheek with my thumb. I’m so in love with this woman it hurts. Like when I’m not with her, I ache to be. When I see her, my heart goes crazy and my body screams with need for her. But it’s the good kind of pain. The pain I crave. “Done with what? Watching my beautiful girlfriend sleep? Nah, I could do this for hours.”

She smiles and buries her face into the pillow. “You're being a creeper.” Her voice is muffled.

“Yes, but I’m your creeper.”

She turns her head to the side, looking at me. She gives me a shy smile. “You are, aren't you?” she whispers. “Did you really agree to be my boyfriend?”

“Damn right, I did, il mio cuore. I’ll do it again too, but this time, I’m not asking. Lilly, you are my girlfriend. My girl. Mine. Understood?”

“Yes,” she giggles, and the sound goes right to my cock. “How is this not weird? I thought it might be a little awkward going from friends to more, but it feels...”

“Right?” She nods. “It’s better than right. It’s perfect.” I lean in to kiss her lips. I’m happy she doesn’t turn away because of morning breath or something. Something as silly as that would never keep me from my girl. My girl—fuck, that sounds good.

She hums softly, a little sigh leaving her chest. “Now all of those puck bunnies can fuck off,” she mumbles against my lips, and I burst out laughing.

“Oh, really? You're sounding a little jealous there, Shorty.”

She glares up at me, and it’s fucking adorable. “Listen, I’ve seen those girls hanging off you. I don’t like it. So, now that you're mine, I’ll be more than happy to rub it in their faces.”

“I like this side of you.” I grin, pulling her closer so that she can feel just how turned on she’s making me with all her possessiveness. “Feel free to piss on me any day to mark your territory.”

Her eyes widen, and I struggle not to laugh. “You're a naughty little thing, aren't you? I wasn’t talking about it like that. But I mean, if you wanna try—”

“No!” she shouts. “No, nope that's okay. Not to yuck on anyone's yum, but that's going to be a hell no for me. I might only be fresh off the virgin block and not know what I like in the bedroom yet, but I can tell you that's not it.”

“I’m just fucking with you.” I laugh. “You sure do look cute when you're all flustered and red-faced.”

“You suck,” she grumbles, sliding under the blankets.

“Hey, no hiding from me.” I pull the blankets down. “Wanna go get something to eat? It’s almost noon. We slept in late.”

“I needed it though.” She sighs, moving to sit up against the pillows. She still looks tired and the light isn’t quite back in her eyes yet, but I’ll keep working on it.

“How are you feeling?” I mean it in so many ways.

“Physically? A little sore but I’ll be fine. Emotionally?” She shrugs. “I’m hurt, confused, and I really need to know what’s going on with Toby. Do you know?”
