The Thief

Chapter 15

Y/n's POV

As we walked into the apartment Peter went straight to the couch. I watched him sit with his head back, arms stretched across the back of the couch and legs spread as wide as they could be.

I bit my lip just at the sight of him. He definitely doesn't know it, but he is so damn sexy. Him being absolutely oblivious about it makes him even sexier. I started to imagine myself sitting between his legs on my knees. My hands gently sliding across his thighs. Hearing a low groan escape his lips just from the touch of my fingertips.

Wait- Damn it!
I shouted to myself as I squished my face between my hands. I'm supposed to be mad at him!

Quickly pushing my dirty thoughts aside I walked over to Peter and stood in front of him with my arms crossed. Seeing that he didn't move an inch I cleared my throat to get his attention. He looked up at me with half opened eyes.

"What?", he asked in a low tone.

Oh, my god. He has to be doing this on purpose. I can tell he's still annoyed, but it's so fucking hot. I have to stay strong! I reminded myself.

"What was that back there?", I asked in an annoyed tone. His head slightly titled to the left. "What was what?"

I let out a frustrated sigh. Now he's being an ass to me. "Why were you being so rude to, Harry? He was nice enough to help me and you repay him by being a dick", I snapped.

I waited for him to argue back, but instead he stayed quiet. After a moment he sat up. He sat his arms on his thighs as he leaned over a bit. "Remember my ex?"

I stiffened at his question. Why is he bringing her up all of the sudden? "Yes, Mary Jane. She's the one who cheated...right?"

He gave me a slight nod. "Harry's the one she cheated on me with"

Shit! Now i'm the dick.

"Peter...I'm so sorry. I-...I didn't know", I spoke in a quiet tone as I lowered my head.

Getting up from his spot he walked over to me. He gently grabbed my chin and lifted it so I could look him in the eyes. "I don't want you going anywhere near him. I don't care how nice he is. I won't allow him to take what's mine. Not this time"

Butterflies filled my stomach at his words. I could feel my face heat up and quickly turned away. "But I can't just avoid him. It's rude", I slightly stepped back.
Peter walked closer making me step back further. Finally my back hit a wall. Setting his hands at my sides I no longer had anywhere to go.
"It wasn't a suggestion"

I looked up to see his eyes had gone completely dark, along with his aura. Just like before when we were with Harry.

Slowly his right hand reached under my shirt gripping my hip. I flinched at the coldness of his fingers. He then laid his head in the crook of my neck. "I can't lose you too, y/n. I've never cared for anyone like I do you". My breathing hitched. This is the first time he's been so intimate with his words.

"Seeing Norman touch you and say those things about you. I wanted to kill him right then and there. I hated the feeling, but if it meant you'd be safe i'd do it. Without a single ounce of regret"

I laid my hands on his chest, slightly pushing him away. "Don't do that...not for me. I don't deserve someone to care for me that much. I've never been good enough for that type of love"

Lifting his head he stared at me with a pained look. "I wish you could see yourself in my eyes. Y/n, you are the most beautiful, kind hearted, badass woman I've ever met..."

I lightly laughed at his description of me. A slight smiled formed on his lips. "And... I love you"

My heart started to race, but my body stayed frozen. Did he just say he loves me? Maybe he didn't mean to say it.

"Y/n?"

My eyes fluttered at his calling. "Yeah?", I answered. Though it sounded like my mind was elsewhere.

"I just said "I love you" and you haven't said anything back", he had a nervous grin on his lips.

What's should I do?! Say it back? I don't know if i'm ready for that. We've known each other for months and we've been through so much shit how did he even have time to fall in love?

"It's okay if you don't want to say it back. You don't feel the same and that's fine", he stepped back from me.

Wait, no! I do feel the same! I just-...

Hearing a slight shuffle I turned to see Peter with his coat reaching for the door. "W-where are you going?", I asked.

"I'm just gonna go for a walk. I'll see you later"

Ugh, this isn't what I wanted! Why cant I say it back? Just say it!

My eyes widened as I noticed the door was open. My legs finally moved and I ran to him slamming the door shut in the process.

He didn't turn from his stance. Probably too surprised from my action. I wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head on his back. He stiffened at my gesture.

"Don't go, please...", I whispered. "I don't want to lose you either. I do love you. I love you so much it scares me. It scares me that if I allow myself to care for you one day you'll leave. I don't think I could live without you in my life"

Slowly he turned around in my arms and was now looking at me. "I'll never leave you. You have a hold on me like a spider on a web", he smiled.

I laughed at his little joke. Before I knew it he leaned down and placed a kiss on my lips. It was soft and lovingly. Both of us needed a minute to breath, but neither pulled away. As if it wasn't the air we needed to
survive, just each other.

I quickly pulled away and caught my breath. Both of us breathing very hard. Maybe we do need air.

Peter laid his forehead against mine. Something he did often, i've noticed. "Y/n?" I gave him a slight "hm?", my eyes closed.

It was quiet for a moment before he finally answered back. "Be my girlfriend?"
I stepped back a bit, eyes widened. A big smile broke across my face. "Okay..."

Suddenly I was lifted from the ground. My legs instinctively wrapped around Peter's waist as he held me. He started to walk towards are bedroom. "What are you doing?", I asked.

A smirk played at his lips. "I'm gonna show my girlfriend just how much I love her"

My face got hot and red as I understood what he meant. I buried my face in his neck as he closed the bedroom door behind us.
