The fresh air feels so good. I have barely been outside over the last month, it feels freeing to be out of those four walls breathing in this fresh air.
The sky is clear, all the stars can be seen sparkling up above. I take a minute, just to appreciate the beauty and breathe it in. I want to go in with a fresh head, leaving my anger and resentment at the door.
Arthur's house looks dark, I hope he is home, perhaps I should of dropped a text. I open up the side gate and let myself in through the side door. I quickly scan downstairs and he isn't here, it's silent and I am a little freaked out.
I quietly make my way upstairs, his bedroom doors a jar and I can see a light coming from his room. I freeze at the top of the stairs, giving myself a second I take a deep breath, I haven't even thought about what I'm going to say. Exhaling I slowly push open his door and it creaks startling him.
"Lucy" Arthur says, wide eyed and smiling. He jumps up from his bed and stands in-front of me, staring deep into my eyes. His hair is messier than normal and he has only his boxer shorts on. I had almost forgotten how flawless he is. I can't take my eyes off his toned body.
Smiling back at him I say "I thought perhaps whilst our parents were getting drunk together we could chat?".
He smiles and takes a few steps towards me, placing his hands either side of my face. I can smell him now, I've missed this. I let out a groan I didn't even know I was holding in. Everything I love about him becomes even more apparent than ever before.
My heart is pounding in my chest, my knees are weak desperately resisting the urge to touch him. His lips touch mine and I can only focus on how soft he feels against my mouth. The warm feeling of his breath makes my whole body tingle and I find my hands caressing his whole body. His hands slowly move down from my face and he runs them over my body and underneath my top. We fall back onto the bed, our bodies wanting and needing more. We both remove our clothes before running our hands frantically I over each others bodies, it feels so good to be skin on skin again. Arthur throws himself on top of me, pushing himself against me, I can't wait for him anymore.
The room is quiet, I'm still trying to catch my breath and process what just happened. I came here to talk and nothing has been said yet here I am naked in his bed, hot and breathless.
Arthur props himself up on his elbow and faces me. Brushing his hand over my face he says "I am sorry Lucy, I really am".
I sigh "Why with Elsie though, I would rather you had of been honest with me that you wanted to try them"
"I don't know, I fucked up. I regret trying them and Elsie was just there when it happened"
He looks sorry, he has tried to apologise so many times and I can either forgive him, move on to try and make this work or I can call it a day. I cannot expect him to do much more than apologise, grovel of course but I have to forgive. I will never forget though.
"Well you have a lot of making up and grovelling to do" I joke, fumbling for my clothes.
"Oh I know that"
I turn to him and cuddle into his chest. I am happy the month of us not communicating is over and done with. I'm excited about the next few weeks of making up for lost time and my birthday break of course!
"Thank you for booking the break" I say rubbing my hand over his bare chest.
"You deserve it, I can't wait to spend some quality time with you. It's going to be unforgettable"
"I still haven't spoken to Elsie, although she has apologised to me"
"I'm sure you two will sort it out, she isn't mad"
"She isn't? Have you spoken to her then?"
"A little at the party she said she was over it"
"Oh, I hope she knows that I will defend myself now though and I'm not a push over anymore"
"She does darling" Arthur's says sliding himself out of the bed pulling his boxers back on.
"I'm going to make a drink, do you want one?" He asks.
"I fancy a hot Chocolate, then maybe we can watch a movie?"
"Sure thing" he replies, walking out the bedroom door.
Sitting here waiting for my hot chocolate I start to reflect on the past month. Couples fight all the time and it is important I remember that Arthur is young and won't be perfect and I'm not perfect, far from it.
We are experiencing all different life changes but together, I need to be more relaxed with him. I hope that when we go to college Arthur still wants to spend a lot of time with me, it is important to me. Making memories as one, that's what relationships are all about.
We have never fought before, not a full on row and this was a pretty intense fight for our first. It was the first time I have felt deceit from Arthur. I perhaps shouldn't of made him wait a month to even hear from me but I needed the head space.
"Here you go princess" Arthur says handing me the boiling hot cup. As I look into the cup I notice he has sprinkled chocolate powder over the top in what looks like an attempt at a heart shape.
"You are adorable, I love you" I say smiling to myself over the drink.
"Stop it, have you picked the film. Oh no let me guess" he rolls his eyes climbing into bed next to me.
Arthur always lets me pick the movie and I think he always regrets it. I have made him watch this film at least 20 times, I love it .It's Mean Girls, an all time classic. Was a bit before my age but my Mum has always loved it so me and my sister have been made to love it.
Regina George reminds me of Elsie, self centred and vain. Hurting everyone around her and not even realising her actions have consequences and those are my feelings.
