"What if, Ella doesn't agree with us being..."
I trailed off not even knowing what we were. "Veronica, I am sure that Ella would be fine with our relationship. She has only known you for what? almost a month and already asks to see you every fucking day. When I picked you up from her bed she fought that you stayed with her, When she had that nightmare back at your house she ran to you first. Even this morning she threw a tantrum just to hug and to see you." He says making my heart melt in seconds, my shoulders square. I gulp feeling guilty for thinking Ella won't like us together.
He throws himself around so he sits– like myself across the bed. Closing my eyes and humming when he pulls me in by my waist. My body pulls into his. His arms wrapped around me. One around my waist and one laying face down caressing my thigh.
"—And Veronica. We are in a relationship, you hear me?" He kisses the point of my nose while squeezing at my skin two times. I smiled and opened my eyes looking into his eyes. I grip his hand and squeeze twice.
"What if I don't want to be your girlfriend?" I teased. He squeezes me hard which makes me gasp. "Don't play with me." I roll my eyes and giggle, pushing closer to his heated body. For a moment we just got used to hugging each other, feeling our body temperatures mix together.
"I never did labels, I never did romantic shit like taking someone out for diner under a fuckin' booth with a box of pizza on the table nor did I sleep in the same bed as a woman." I frowned looking at him, But we did all those things.
Maybe not much of the 'him taking me out for dinner part' it ended way different than me getting to eat pizza it was more like me storming out TGI Weeknd and walking into a black hole of unwanted memories.
My mind fills with questions and I ask them. I mean that's why questions exist. So they would be answered.
"Then why me? Why call me your girlfriend? Why do you sleep in the same bed as myself?" He chuckles under his breath. I feel the rumble as it erupts from his chest. His hands stay planted on my waist and thigh.
"I- I guess you were just different from the others...You knew how hard life is and you had to live through it like myself. You understand me." He rocks us both. I lean into him and hum. He just wants someone who knows how hard life is, He wants someone like himself. He wants to fill those broken pieces of his heart just like myself
–and I think that is why we are here today hugging each other. We just need a fix. I smiled softly and nuzzled my nose into his neck mint and forest.
"Go shower, You stink." I boom, pulling away from him. He glares at me when I turn back and watch him through my eyelashes. "Okay, I lie. I like how you smell, but still go shower while I try to make something to eat." A tug at his lips makes me giggle and start to walk to the door after throwing myself off the bed.
