Chapter 10 - Sincere
“You know Alex, it’s ok to talk out your emotions with someone else,” Pinky timidly said while watching me with wary eyes. “I think it’s a much better idea than wrecking your room while sobbing uncontrollably!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqXhb7GAdI
I screamed at her as I smashed my porcelain lamp on the floor; shattering it into tiny pieces. Now it’s just like me, broken on the inside and out!819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPw2AmFU8F0
I liked Crimson Cross, I genuinely fucking liked him! And now, I found out that he not only let that whore suck him off, he fucked her! Probably more than once too! Then he wants to come crawling into my room in the middle of the night and sweet talk me! And I bet he only did it because he wanted to sleep with me.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVeQeMOHwn
I went to smash my other lamp to the ground when I felt Pinky wrap her arms around me tightly. “Go on, let it all out on my shoulder. But please don’t smash anything else, I don’t want you to hurt yourself.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb8HvqrTgT
“LET GO OF ME!” I struggled in her grasp but she only held on tighter. “I’M SERIOUS PINKY, YOU BETTER LET GO OR ELSE-”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRKzLCw11X
“It’s ok to not be ok Alex,” She whispered in my ear. “And it’s ok to receive help from others. You need to let it out, just cry. I’m here for you.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYanNIwUhT
My eyes watered even more as I slowly wrapped my arms around her waist. I sobbed loudly as I held on tightly to her. “I liked him Pinky, I liked him a lot! He made me feel special like no one else has before. You warned me that he was a player but I naively thought that I was the only one that he was interested in.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42Jaytgh1S
“It’s going to be ok,” She rubbed my back gently. “ But it is true, you were naive.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexObpMzxM0
“You’re not making me feel better about myself!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXgbd2hSl3
“He seemed to truly have feelings for you though,” She said.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrZnXSORQf
I lifted my head to stare at her in confusion. “The way he looked at you, it was just wow!” She said breathlessly. “I can’t even describe it. There was always playfulness in his eyes but then their would be the adoration when he’s watching you do something. Like sleeping in class for example, did you know he watched you sleep for an entire math class!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cMWYWarA2
“Really?” I asked softly with a bit a hope in my tone.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzz9Y9fLYa
“Really,” She grinned.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n9QeQVa44
A slight smile made it’s way on my face, but it soon diminished quickly when I remembered that he still had slept with Raven, even though Pinky claims that he has “feelings” for me. “Is this a mild form of heartbreak?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9bxfmdXE4
She laughed. “Their is no “mild form” of heartbreak Alex, all hurt the same.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WVhL8DhJP
“But we weren’t even in a relationship?” I said wiping my tears. “Don’t you have to be in a relationship with someone before they can break your heart.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04pvxExg1x
Her face suddenly became dull and her previously shining eyes became dull. “That’s not true.” She whispered solemnly. “Haven’t you ever heard of unrequited love?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBRixpiXtU
My heart tugged at the way she said those words. They sounded so sorrowful and remorseful that I’d forgotten for a second which one of us was truly suffering from a broken heart. “Pinky? Are you ok?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJq0cJ72wQA
At the sound of my voice, she brightened back up and smiled at me; though, I could tell that it was fake. “Yeah, sorry about that, just zoned out for a moment.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIKyxPj5wq
“Are you sur-”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6iIlkCbbW
“You should get some rest Alex,” She cut me off. “It’s been a long night for you.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWA4UgZSmP
“But I-”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MgOdCVcyt
“Sleep!” She grasp my shoulders tightly while looking into my eyes. “Don’t worry about me, I’m fine! School is tomorrow remember,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKK0VVCqPl
“Who gives a crap about school!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7nLKqvpqp
“I do!” She retorted while carefully walking over the glass on the floor to my bed. “And you should too!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9WOKieRKg
“You’re such a goody-goody,” I rolled my eyes at her. “You’re nearly as bad as Grace.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPuZiS1gY8
“Firstly, I’m not a “goody-goody”,” She discarded her heels, dress and jewelry before plopping down on the bed. “Secondly, I nowhere as bad as your sister. She’s the ultimate perfectionist!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR3Eo0FCaB
“I think that title got stripped from her tonight!” I laughed as I joined her on the bed. “Did you see her come in late? Oh gosh, that was a golden moment!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzA2z6hPUt
She laughed as we continued to talk about random yet funny things. Is that what friends do at sleepovers? I’m actually enjoying myself, we need to have more of these! Pinky had managed to make me forget about Crimson for the time being and I was very grateful for her company. Who knows what I would’ve done if she wasn’t here?819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfYtppUYcM
“You think Mr. Daniels is married?” I said aloud. But when I got no response, I looked over at Pinky to see that she was fast asleep. I softly smiled to myself as I pulled the covers over her body some more.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAssJs49gY
“Thanks for being my first friend,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbMaNXcz3r
...819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLanQmKRIHA
The soft creaking of my bedroom door made my blue eyes shoot open. I quickly glanced to see if it was Pinky who had gotten up but she was fast asleep; snoring
slightly as half of her body hung off the bed. Slowly, I craned my head around to see the silhouette of a masculine figure. This all seems very nostalgic. 819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeccpa6v6eD
“WHAT HAPPENED IN HERE!” The voice shouted as the lights flashed on.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoAWj7sR6S
I jumped up in fright and blinked as my eyes took in the intruder. Crimson. He was staring around at everything in shock before locking eyes with me. My heart clenched and I felt all the rage from earlier on come rushing back like a stampede of angry bulls!819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFpwxEneF4
“ALEX!” He shouted again. “WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED? DID SOMEONE BREAK IN AND TRASH YOUR ROOM?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPZuho941o
“Shut up!” I whispered-shouted as I threw a pillow at him. “Pinky’s sleeping!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjshQviCcJ
I looked over to her form to see if she had been awakened. But she was in the exact same spot and still snoring. Damn she’s a heavy sleeper.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzRWIxfTBS
“Wha-” He started confusingly but I cut him off by rushing over and pushing him out of the door. But I’d forgotten that their was broken glass scattered on the floor and I sliced the bottom of my foot.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalbZePbnhC
“FUCK!” I screamed in pain as I cradled my foot. Crimson immediately tried to come to my aid but I pushed him back.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IXjQbQhla
“Stay away from me!” I seethed as I turned off the lights and shut the door to my room. The infirmary for this wing was on the first floor and it’ll take forever for me to get there with a bleeding foot; but I continued hopping my way to the end of the corridor before I fell flat on my face.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwQjrL6AV3
“I don’t know what I did to upset you Curly but,” He started before stripping of his jacket and putting it over my body. “But I’m not going to let you prance around the place half-naked while blood is gushing from your foot!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMcXfAD5TY
Half-naked? I looked down and realized that I was only in my white lacy underwear! Pinky and I had stripped from our clothes and jewelry but we slept in our underwear because we were to lazy to change! Oh gosh, Crimson just saw me in my underwear! My face turned dark red as I pulled his jacket tightly around me. I may be mad at him, but that doesn’t mean I won’t accept his jacket.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ07BXiclxn
“Don’t worry, I was looking at your face the entire time...well...most of the time!” He said sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2uly4n6XZ
“Get away from me,” I glared at him as I tried to get up but it was futile, I couldn’t walk at all on my injured foot.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBSvuX64VP
“You’re in no position to be telling me to get away from you,” He said as he effortlessly lifted me into his arms. “I’ll take you to the infirmary.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0rfE58OuE
“NO LET ME DOWN!” I screamed as I wiggled in his grasp. “I HATE YOU! LET ME DOWN!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdJm2wptEk
“What the hell did I do?” He asked wide-eyed as he stared down at me. “You slapped me for no reason at the dinner and now you’re saying you hate me? I thought we were past this stage in our relationship,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfpoA0Y02I
“Relationship,” I scoffed. “We never had a relationship Crimson! You mean absolutely nothing to me!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEk8eeEtHs
“How can you say that?” He asked shocked.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6aFxIwTn9
“Oh don’t play innocent you fucker!” I spat. “You were only being all nice and flirty with me because you wanted to sleep with me!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsGZmyXT4m
“WHAT!” He shouted as he stared at me in confusion. “That was not the reason why I acted that way towards you! Have you ever thought that maybe I actually like you? That I wanted to develop a relationship with you?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBjQ5GVGWQ
It was my turn to be shocked. He liked me? He wanted to be in a relationship with me? Pinky was right. But that still doesn’t change the fact that he fucked Raven.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7OArC2013
“Did you and Raven have sex?” I asked sourly as I took in his facial expression. His eyes widened even more and he gulped before averting his eyes away from mine.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Q7ru6Qg5
“You did, didn’t you?” My voice cracked as I felt the tears form in my eyes. Their was a tiny part of me that held onto the fact that Raven could’ve possibly been lying and that Crimson would confirm it for me. But the guilty expression on his face gave me all the clarity I needed.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvQME6RjXm
He sighed before looking deeply into my eyes. “Yes, we did,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1pPc9L5st
Those three words made my heart drop and the tears rushed out of my eyes. The pain in my foot was long gone, instead replaced by the pain of heartbreak. I wouldn’t deny it any longer. Crimson Cross did mean something to me, something more than a friend.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaHSHWsY8a
“I liked you Crimson,” I said softly as I sniffled. “How could you sleep with Raven while you flirting and spending time with me almost every single day?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkmPsJZy7Y
“It was before I met you!” He exclaimed. “It was the first day of school and she literally came up to me and started flirting. Then ten minutes before the opening ceremony, she pulled me into a closet and began sucking me off but I swear I didn’t ask her o! That got me horny and so was she so yes, I did fuck her in the janitor’s closet. But I didn’t even know her name or who she was! The moment I found out that she was a countess, I didn’t get anywhere near her again!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CjvwBibqL
I stared at him, feeling slightly relieved to know that he hadn’t done it will being involved with me. But I was still upset about it.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAA8TvOsY8
“I swear Alex, I haven’t been involved with any other girl since I met you,” He said rubbing my shoulder. “Even that month when I didn’t talk to you. It was because I was trying to forget about you, no girl has ever affected me like you have.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFte1CoUFoY
I sniffled as I grabbed onto his shirt. “But I was a total bitch towards you. How could you have found me attractive?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xJVHn0Ix4
“That mean, bitchy personality facade that you let the world see isn’t you,” He said tightening his hold on me. “You’re one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. You just display it in a weird way. Do you remember about two weeks, the girl who stutters in our English class, Sandy I think, she was being bullied by other girls in our class and you were the only one who stood up to defend her. I mean, you did curse her out and call her a wimp, but it made her a tougher person. When people tease her about her stuttering, she doesn’t just let it slide anymore, she defends herself!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrivYd6kAf
I was shocked. I didn’t know that he payed such close attention to me. “But I-”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHgQJgeZV7
“And that freshman who was about to get beat up because he danced ballet. You stood up to three guys who were twice your size and nearly made them piss their pants!” He laughed.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HhvUhsXMw
“What does any of that have to do with why you find me attractive?” I mumbled into his chest.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXswqaDqIA4
“You fight for others who can’t fight for themselves, even people you claim to hate,” He said as he leaned closer to me. “And you do it in your own unique way. That’s why I find you attractive,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiWmH7pnot
“I-Is that all?” I stuttered as he brushed his nose against my cheek.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB9pq6T3El
“Oh no Curly!” He smirked as he lifted me even higher in his arms. Am I not heavy or does he just have super human strength? “Your static blue eyes that look so alluring, especially when you’re smiling. Your gorgeous, long, curly hair that flows so beautifully down your back. Your sexy curves that lead downward to the most perfect shaped ass I’ve ever seen! Not to mention you’ve got a great set of tits-”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDS7KsVg7s
“Seriously?” I interrupted him with a raised eyebrow. “You were doing such a great job of being romantic and you had to ruin it by being a guy!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OJr82q5Zq
“I’m sorry but you do!” He laughed. “They’re so perfectly rounded and they jiggle when you walk sometimes,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGoNwwqOTr
“Oh gosh Crimson stop!” I giggled as I put my hands over my eyes. “Return to your romantic mode,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2FbcBE5pP
He chuckled before clearing his throat and speaking. “Your plump full lips that I desperately want to kiss right now,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTo0FinHl26
My chuckling ceased and I looked at him in shock. “W-Wh-What?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0umDVhsiAK
He suddenly crashed his lips down onto mine and my eyes widened in surprise. My first kiss! What do I do? Do I move my lips?819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLYh08G3s8
“Move your lips baby,” He mumbled as if reading my mind. Slowly, I moved my lips in sync with his and I was fascinated with how perfect this felt. I feel like I’m in a dream! Kissing Crimson has me feeling light-headed as if I was high off of his kiss. But unfortunately, we had to break away air.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueJNiAKoj8
“Wow,” We both said breathlessly as we stared into each others eyes. Not able to resist, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his lips towards mine for another kiss. He tightened his hold on me and I tugged slightly at his hair.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJPJuqi2fl
He bit my bottom lip which made me open my mouth in surprise, and he used that opportunity to shove his tongue in my mouth, easily winning dominance. Oh gosh, I felt like I was about to faint!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxkL58NmEV
“Crimson?” I moaned against his lips.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppFocoAQuz
“Yes baby?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDFnqYPb6B
“My foot’s still bleeding,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9mm7yXq8t
He chuckled as he broke away from the kiss. “Way to ruin the mood,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSV5na0cIB
“Well I’m sorry!” I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes. “Not like I’m bleeding or anything!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f6uZ39l04
“I’m just kidding babe,” He said before he began walking. “Let’s get you to the infirmary.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpRyMfmOFq
...819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB1rjQk5n8
“So you went into the cadets when you were twelve?” I asked Crimson as he wrapped my foot with a bandage. He’d offered to attend to my wound, letting the nurse who was here return to her slumber.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVkgC5YdK9
“Yeah,” He said cutting the bandage. “I was a but of a rebel and very hot-tempered. I got kicked out of school for beating up a guy who was picking on my little brother. My mom got tired of me always being in trouble, so she sent me to the cadets.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡirZsORjttX
“What was it like?” I asked genuinely curious.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQenzHXXJ6q
“It was rough the first few months,” He said as he taped the bandage in place. “I was younger than most of the other kids so I was smaller. The training was harsh and intense. Getting up at five every morning and going to bed as late as four a.m sometimes! But I learned discipline and self-control. I’m not as impulsive as I used to be, but I could still knock someone out if needed.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7nLmdV7XW
“Yeah, I realized,” I chuckled to myself as I remembered him nearly knocking me out at the dinner when I scared him. “But wait, if you were in the cadets, how did you go to the same school as Pinky?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiW23SxG84
“I was only at Edensville High for one year,” He said. “I studied hard so that I could be able to get a scholarship to RHA, and I did! I figured that if I came to the capital, I would have a better chance of recruitment for the Royal Army. It’s rare for them to accept people from Edensville because we weren’t known to produce strong soldiers.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QdMQVDnpc
“So you want to be a soldier!” I said with raised brows. “Why?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2fPwVq2o9
“With me being in the cadets, I’m already used to the lifestyle so it would be easy to adjust,” He shrugged. “And besides, the pay is fantastic! I would be able to take my mom out of all her debts,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJS33kvxXe
“Your family has debts?” I repeated a bit intrigued by it. It was the first time I’d heard someone talk about financial complications.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNBfwIB0zb
“Don’t most families have some sort?” He looked at me with a raised eyebrow.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr951czNlzG
“I don’t think you can really classify my family with the rest,” I chuckled slightly as I separated my curls.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl00f6Tl0Tt
“Ah yes,” He said turning towards me. “I forgot about you being apart of the royal family for a second,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctAgAWVpL9
“Yeah,” I mumbled as I averted my eyes away from him. We weren’t a family, we all practically hated each other.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIviVP96F7I
“What about your job as my Royal Guard?” I asked. “Are you earning enough to help with your mom’s debts?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4DvpAWtQA
“I suppose so but,” He sighed. “It’s going to take at least a year for me to save up enough,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkY7EjtNfVy
My eyes widened. Just how deep in debt was his mother? “What if I raised your pay? Then you can-”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzD4vEzJNK
“No,” He cut me off. “I don’t want to do that?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn7aarPQcy
“Why not?” I tugged on his arm. “I would double your earning, maybe even triple them and then you would be able to help your mother get out of debt!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyn7dSXGyv
“That wouldn’t be right,” He said standing in between my legs and grabbing my chin with his hand. “Their are five other royal guards who do the exact same job as me, it wouldn’t be fair to raise my pay and theirs stay the same,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIlGO6n1eu
“Then I raise everyone’s pay!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjICmTove9
“It’s not that simple Curly,” He played with my hair. “The only person’s pay you can raise in mine because you’re my boss. You’re not in charge of the others,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkPUUgiL1Q
“Then just let me raise the pay!” I rolled my eyes, “Stop being such a diva about it,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeEn8dNrYE
“I’m not being a diva,” He narrowed his eyes at me. “I’m being a decent human being,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveTkRuwUdH
I scoffed. “So what are you trying to say? That I’m not a decent person?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2V6Hfo70r
He suddenly grabbed my face and kissed my lips softly for a few seconds before resting his forehead against mine. “Let’s not fight, yeah?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXvghXkwmm
“Ye-Yeah,” I stammered as I flushed red. I can’t believe I gave in so quickly.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n1l0BHYjI
“Good,” He smirked before kissing me again, this time more rough.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSqfCYf4Pn
He gripped my waist in his large hands as he french kissed me. My hands were all over his hair, pulling and tugging every time he bit my lip. His hands suddenly wandered to my knees, pushing my legs wider apart so that he could come closer. I wrapped my legs around his waist as I felt him begin to kiss my neck, gently nipping at the skin.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJSWabSReI
“Crimson, oh gosh,” I moaned as I pulled on his hair even tighter. 819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIewS9imIA
“Quiet baby,” He murmured while kissing my shoulders. “The nurse is still out there remember? We don’t want to get caught do we?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcq5CMXZAX4
That set off warning bells in my head and the lust I was feeling slowly vanished. If Crimson and I were caught doing this, he would be instantly fired and then he won’t be able to help his mother get out of debt!819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqtLljJOca
“Crimson,” I said trying to push him back. “We have to stop,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFdxradGjl
He immediately stopped kissing my neck and looked up at me in confusion. His face was flushed, his hair was messy from my hands running through it and his lips were slightly swollen from our heated kissing session. Fuck he looks hot!819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqXc7JHJiU
“What’s wrong?” He asked caressing my face.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5Cje0BIPN
“What if we get caught?” I said. “I don’t want you to get fired!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKch4YdfdXQ
“I’m not going to be, Curly!” He tried to reassure me.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgRpeH8U0M
“You don’t know that,” I narrowed my eyes.819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsHxv9dgmO
“Look, I’ll be careful alright,” He pushed his hair back. “I’ll always be extra careful when it’s concerning you,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzl21MVj1xs
That made me blush a bit and feel fuzzy on the inside. Fuck, it feels like a 1990s washing machine is in my belly!819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlgRCH6WGK
“What even are we Crimson?” I referred to the two of us. “I don’t think we’re exactly ‘friends’ anymore.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsVj5UfmlM
He bit his lip and stared intensely at me. “What do you want us to be?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yQrTjlNGG
I took a deep breath and placed my hand on his cheek before speaking. “I want things to continue to be the way they were before,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2lMyDqMLm
He raised an eyebrow at me. “Not quite the answer I was expecting, but it’s better than nothing. May I ask why?”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnIF04xagk
“It’s just,” I sighed as I played with my hair. “I don’t want to label us as anything. I don’t want it to be I’m your girlfriend and you’re my boyfriend. I want it to be your mine and I’m yours.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswyjd5Wzxq
“So...you want to marry me? Is this a proposal?” He joked. “Wait let me take a selfie!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7KInRJtIU
“No you idiot,” I laughed. “I just don’t want whole label thing. I hope you’re ok with that,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyObbNJ5MDA
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in for bear hug. “I’m more than ok with it babe, no girlfriend and boyfriend, you’re mine and I’m yours!”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfw8P51YQm
“This has to be in secret though,” I frowned. “So no public display of affection. Especially at school, people are always watching.”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXJk2N42mk
He leaned his forehead against mine and smirk. “It’ll be our little secret,”819Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJk3ksIpY9
