Happy V-Day! I don't really celebrate it but I wanted to give you guys something for it. So i'm giving you guys this & I hope you guys enjoy it because this is the last calm before everything hits the fan. Dedicated to everyone that reads this story.

After texting Adriana for a while I decided it was time to pay attention to my 'meeting'. "Who were you texting?", they asked. I put my phone in my pocket giving them my undivided attention. "Adriana", I responded sitting on the bed next to them. "Oh. So why are you here, aren't you supposed to be at school?", they questioned. I shrugged, "Maybe or i'm supposed to be here with you instead. Ever think of that babe?", I responded looking them in the eyes.

They looked away. "No because school comes first fool. How do you think your parents gone feel when they find out you skipped school to be here with me?", they said looking anywhere but at me. I turned their face to look at me but they was being stubborn & still wouldn't meet my eyes. "I'm where I want to be which is where i'm needed. You need me & I happily came to you", I said & pecked their lips.

They sighed before finally meeting my eyes with their's. "Why do you keep doing this to me? We're not supposed to be here", they said. I shook my head, "Why do you keep doing this?", I asked. "I was just a fling remember? I just happened to catch your eye Remi & you couldn't resist. I was just there & when you were done you tossed me aside because who was I to believe I meant something real to you like you did to me", they whispered coldly. It was a whisper but it was loud like a scream in my ears. I was quiet for a moment getting my thoughts together when I heard the scoff.

"Exactly. You have nothing to say because you know it's true. You're fucking selfish Jeremiah. Just leave me alone ok? I don't wanna hear any of your bullshit about how you've changed or anything. I just want you to leave me alone", they said giving me hella attitude. "Who the hell are you to tell me how I feel? You don't know shit so shut the fuck up & let me talk", I snapped. They got quiet folding their arms over their chest. I sighed, "Look, I didn't say anything because I was getting my thoughts together. I didn't want to just start saying shit & ruin everything. I-", they interrupted me. "It's already fucking ruined", they snapped. I grabbed them roughly by the chin being fed up with them.

"Don't interrupted me. I let you talk now you listen. When i'm done talking then you can but don't you interrupted me again", I warned before pecking their lips. With that little peck I calmed all the way down letting their face go. "My bad, you just really pissed me off. Anyways, I didn't want to say the wrong things. I do care about you. So much, even then I did. I just didn't know how to feel about everything. I have never felt this way before. I mean yeah it all started like you said but baby it's so much more. I should've talked to you & told you what was going on with me but I chose to hurt you instead. That's my bad for that. I want you to give us a chance, another chance. I'm not gonna say i've changed because we both know I haven't but I am wiser about us", I pleaded my case.

They didn't say anything or look at me. "Say something", I said. They sighed, "I won't tell you what you want to hear Remi. That's too easy just like how you hurt me", they responded. I nodded taking their hand in mine. "I know", I sighed. They laid their heads on my shoulder, "You're lucky i'm forgiving. I won't let you in so easily though so you'll have to work to earn back my trust & win me over. You're extra lucky your really cute & those eyes. Damn, I love your eyes &", pecks my lips, "those lips you jackass", they said.

I chuckled & kissed them. It was slow & sweet & meant so much to me. I put my hand on the back of their neck pulling them closer to me deepening the kiss. "Mmm, Remi stop", they groaned against my lips. I smirked pulling back. I licked my lips, "What?", I asked innocently.
