Because I Love You

chapter one.

"Please! Just give me a chance. I love you," Jake said as he chased after Maria in the empty hallway. Maria, with her hair darker than her already sort of dark skin turned around. Jake ran his hand through his red hair as he remembered why he fell head over heels in love with Maria. The way she flicked her hair off of her shoulders and came to school like she owned it.

"Oh, Jake," Maria started while ruffling his hair in a messy fashion, "you're so cute when you make a complete fool of yourself." Hearing Maria call him cute gave Jake the brightest blush on his pale skin. Jake's eyes widened as he also heard the girl of his dreams possibly giving him a chance.
"So, does this mean I can take you on a date?"

For a second her brown eyes shifted to the left while she thought of a response, "Let's not call this a date," she said placing her hand on Jake's chest, "it's more of a... hookup."
"A hookup?" Jake questioned.

"Yeah. No talking, no awkward dinner, no people... just us." Maria said biting her lower lip slightly, turning around and walking towards the door with her hair flipping seductively as she did it.
He nodded with a grin on his face like a child would after getting a gigantic ice cream cone with sprinkles and a cherry on top. Jake's heart stopped because losing his virginity to the prettiest girl in school would be, not only every redheaded pale teen's dream, but a possible chance to walk around the school with beauty around your arm and loyal friends right behind you.

~~~(Five hours later at Maria's above average sized home)~~~

Jake rang her doorbell with a red rose in his hand and an ache in his heart. Since this was his first time, Jake didn't have the slightest idea what to wear to a "hookup". He wore sneakers, jeans, and a navy polo.

"Hey, come in," Maria rolled her eyes.

"H-hi. Uh- this is for you," he said with a stutter in his voice handing Maria the rose. She stared at the rose for a second then disregarded it like the wind, we all know it's there but no one pays it any mind.

"Let's just get this over with," Maria said purposely loud. Jake nodded and walked into Maria's enormous bedroom. She had fluffy blankets, silk pillow cases and sheets, several posters of band members and models sporting the latest and most glamorous fashions. Her room was any teenage girl's dream.

"So what do I do?" Jake asked. Maria gave him an annoyed glare and said, "Just let me do everything." He nodded as usual an watched as Maria slid off his polo exposing his bare chest and thin body. Jake wasn't muscular like any of the boys Maria has been with in the past. He felt a shiver run through his spine as he has never done this before. Taking the hint, Jake carefully and with much hesitation took off Maria's clothes that were barely even there for the most part.

"You look so beautiful," he said. Jake meant that one hundred percent. Nothing more beautiful has ever been in the presence of Jake Montgomery. Her sparkling brown eyes shined brighter than the lingerie. The way her hair became messy after her shirt was taken off. The room was dark but Maria's beauty surpassed it and made Jake feel like he was staring into the sun at night.

Maria smiled slightly at the compliment as of it was nothing she hadn't heard before. She kissed his chest and continued all the way down to his waist.

"Shit!" Jake yelled.

"What now?" Maria frustratedly stated.

"I don't have protection."

"So?"
"I don't want anything bad to happen."

"Nothing bad will happen. I've done this before, trust me."

Jake was hesitant but couldn't pass up the chance to have sex with his one true love. Once again, he nodded and ran his hand through Maria's soft, curled hair.

(Afterwards)

Jake shifted in her bed facing Maria. Sweat made his pale skin glisten. A smirk made it's way on his face as Jake caressed the sleeping Maria's cheek. He kissed her soft, plump lips and whispered, "I love you, Maria."
