I thee wed

protective

"No, I wasn't Jealous," I murmured and left the room. I did my homework and went to bed. The next day, Elijah dropped me to college and there was a group of boys glaring at me. I did not say anything but I saw them talking to Penelope. We all went to class to take the exam and the teacher wasn't there yet. I sat on the first bench and I felt something sticky. I got up and my pants ripped out. It was loud and everyone in the room was staring and laughing at me. I didn't know what to do. Eliana quickly removed her cardigan and tied it around my back and I saw Penelope laughing and immediately knew it was her doing. I was so embarrassed. I immediately went to the bathroom to change. Eliana managed to get a skirt from one of the girls who lived in the dorm. I returned, when I went to sit, I carefully checked the bench for any glue. I sat on it and it broke. Someone had just unscrewed it. I fell to the ground and everyone was laughing at me again. I cut my left leg a little. I was in tears by now. Not from the pain but the embarrassment. The teacher came and we took the exam and the day went on and I could still hear some students giggling at me. When the class got over, I saw those guys with Penelope again. I couldn't take it anymore. I went in there and slapped Penelope on her face. The two big guys dragged me back and banged on the head and the next thing I knew was that I was locked in a locker. I banged the door a couple of times. I was suffocated and terrified. I was crying in fear and fury. 

"Is someone here? Please open. please get me out of here?" I tried to call Theo but he wasn't picking up. I called Eliana and she picked up.

Elijah's POV:

I am at Jade's college to pick her up but I can't find her. I see Eliana and she approaches me.

"Hi, Elijah right?"

"Hello."

"I am Eliana."

"Nice to meet you, Eliana."

"Jade told me some great things about you. You know, we should totally hang out sometime."

"Sure."

"Have you seen Jade?" I asked her. Her phone rings before she could answer and she looks at it.

"Ooh, Jade! perfect timing." She picks up the phone.

"Hey Jade, where are you? your hubby's looking for you." She said teasing Jade which made me smile.

"I am stuck in a locker. It's got these cleaning supplies. Help! I am very claustrophobic El!! Please get me out of here!" The voice on the phone said.

"Wait. What?  How did you? Hang on, we're coming!" She hung up.

"Elijah, she's stuck in a locker. Penelope and her friends locked her in. You stay here, I'll go get her." With that, she left in a hurry. My gaze immediately fell on Penelope and the two big guys she was with. I sped there and held one of the guys by the collar and lift him.

"What do you think you're doing?" Penelope yelled.

"Madam, consider yourself lucky that I don't raise my hand at women," I said. Theo followed behind. I took the guy's wrist and squeezed it which made him whimper. I held the other guy by the neck and choked him.

"If you ever hurt my wife again, you won't live to see your graduation," I told them, and then they fell to the ground. I saw Jade and Eliana approaching. Jade was all sweaty and gasping. Eliana gave her some water. I sped to her and held her arm. She was constantly squeezing her stomach to ease the pain.

"Are you okay?" I asked her looking in her phenomenal cinnamon eyes filled with exhaustion.

"Yaa, I am good." She said and held my arm.

"Jade, call me if you need anything please," Eliana says and hugs her. She still held my arm. 

"I'll be back. I just wanna use the restroom, I think I got my period." She says.

"I will be waiting in the car,"  I said and she nodded.

"Hey listen, Elijah." Eliana calls and I turn to her.

"Ya?" She browses her bag and hands me a piece of paper after writing something on it.

"Um, this is a list of Jade's favorite food. She just had a really rough day today. The professor yelled at her. She got glued to a desk, she fell off a desk. Everyone was laughing at her and just call me if you don't know what to do. I wrote my number on the corner." 

"Thank you, Eliana. You're a good friend." I said and left.

I got in the car and saw Jade looking out the window. We drove home and she quickly got into the room and changed into her sweats. I went to the market and got her some oreo ice cream, cookie dough, and some instant Korean Ramen. I cooked it and took it to the room. She was studying and looked at me in surprise and chuckled a little.

"Oh my god! Aren't you the cutest?" She said which made me smile.

"I am afraid I might just be," I said which made her laugh. 

Jyosette's POV:

I am fucking exhausted. I can't help but remember the embarrassing moments. Ugh! What the hell Penelope! But I can't change what has already happened. I just finished the revision of my next exam. How am I gonna go to college tomorrow?  They beat the shit out of me and I got my period too. I am on the edge of a meltdown. These cramps are just getting worse and worse. My phone rang and I picked it up.

"Hey, Theo,"

"Hii."

"How are you?"

"Well, eh!"

"You're husband is the coolest."

"What?"

"He went up to those guys and Penelope. He held them from their collar, lifted them, and threatened them openly. He said, "If you hurt my wife again, you will not live to see graduation." 

"He did?" The frown on my face eased and my expression changed into a smile.

"Ya. Oh! Eddy's home. Gotta go, Bye."

"Bye." 

I was just so impressed and moved. I mean he is the most respectful and nobleman I've ever met and He is the first person after Eliana and Theo to tolerate me. I mean he expresses his concern with strong gestures. How hot is that? He is just incredible and so perfect.  After a while when I thought he couldn't be any better, he shows up with dinner. He made my favorite Korean Ramen because I was having a bad day. How cute!

"Oh my god! Aren't you the cutest?" I said which made him smile.

"I am afraid I might just be," he said which made me laugh. 

Elijah's POV:

I placed the tray on her study table and she got up and embraced me in her arms. I was taken aback but it felt so good in her arms. Am I falling for her? She pulled back and looked at my lips. She was taking deep breaths and her heartbeat was getting faster. She slowly leaned closer to my face looking deep into my eyes. I returned the lovely gaze and showed a smile and looked into her beautiful magnetic eyes. She stopped, bit her lower lip, and hoped for me to initiate the kiss. I leaned in and kissed her soft lips. We kissed gently at first which was full of care, innocence, and affection. She kissed me and tiptoed to deepen the kiss when I moved my hand to her waist. I instantly fell in love with the way she kissed me. It was so innocent. I've been waiting for this moment for a while now. She pulled back and looked on the floor blushing. She whispered in my ear, "You're the best thing to ever happen to me," which made me kiss her once again. We both pulled back to breathe. She wrapped her hands around my neck and I run my hands on the back of her thighs. I moved my hand under her skirt when she stopped and held my hand. She pulled back and looked into my eyes.

"Um, I am on my period today. Maybe another time?" She said tilting her head and smiling shyly the same way a child does when making a wish and chuckling nervously.

"As you wish dear," I said and kissed her on the forehead.  We sat down to eat and she told me about the rough day she had. I was just listening to her when it hit me that she is everything I've ever wanted in a woman.
