Simply Because I'm Yours.

Stella. Pt 1

Did I know what I was doing to myself? Absolutely not. But I was fine with that. Because I was living in the moment. At that moment he was mine, and I was his. I never wanted to be anybody else. He treated my body as a forbidden temple and it was all his to explore. This was all I had ever wanted. It was everything I imaged it to be. He belonged to me, I didn't want him to think about anybody else but me. 

God this man is going to be the end of me. 

I saw his car pull into the driveway. There was no way it could be him right? As he got out of his car I saw his messy black hair. It was him. The man I had been in love with. So in love, I left school, I couldn't stand the sight of all those girls always going up to him. I get where they're coming from, I mean he is godly, absolutely provocative, I mean lord knows where my mind goes being around him. His touch was electric, it was what every girl has been longing for. His voice would make any girl get nervous. His eye contact felt thrilling. He would look into your eyes and there was no way you wouldn't get nervous. He liked that, he liked knowing the power he held. I hated it. Because I wanted him for myself, and of course there was always tons of girls by his side. He would glance at me and smirk and they all hated me for it.

I threw on the quickest outfit I could find, a simple oversized tee and normal ripped black jeans, threw on a pair of socks. Ran out just in time. He walked in our corridor as I stood at the top of the stairs. God the things he makes me feel. I smirked at him, I hope he'd notice me. He automatically looked down. Shit. I hopped down step after step. As I got to him, I brushed against him, that caught his attention. He deeply inhaled. That's the reaction I wanted. I might as well just go to the kitchen while he does whatever he's here to do.

Sophia was in there cooking something up already. Sophia has been our cook for the past 12 years of my life. She got hired immediately because of Xavier, they're married. My mother passed away when I was 3 or so, I don't remember her much, but I know everybody loved her. Sophia stepped in and automatically was like a best friend to me. She took care of me a lot growing up, she knows me better than my own father does. So as I stumble into the kitchen looking behind me to see if I can catch a glance at Rowan possibly looking at me, she knew. 

"He's back!!" Sophia was the first person I told when I figured out my feelings for Rowan. She kind of figured. I ranted to her for what seemed like forever. This felt like one of those times when you're young and have a little crush and get butterflies and stumble on your words and the way he made me feel like if I was constantly floating and the way- 

"STELLA!!!!!!" I hear my dad scream from the pool. I go running. 

As I get to him he just smiles at me and says, "You're going to go look for your gown with Rowan, he will be attending the banquet tomorrow, so you will accompany him to get his suit and he will take you to get your gown wherever you please, isn't that right Rowan?" 

"Yes sir," Rowan says booming with confidence, looking at my father, not me.

"You guys need to go now while the day is young, Stella, you have my credit card I believe," my father says.

"Yeah it's upstairs in my bag." Oh. My. God. Am I going alone with Rowan?!?!?!

"Go get ready. I have a couple meetings today so I won't be home until late. Rowan, I'm trusting you to go with my daughter and protect her with your goddamn life, I expect you to have her home at 11 at the latest, are we understood?" Fuck. That answers my question. He is irresistible how the hell am I supposed to act as if I can keep myself away from him?!?!
