True love

Sinead

"I don't know! Why is this so damn hard?!" I groan and I rummage through my closet. Today is Rena's birthday. I'm going back tonight to celebrate it with her and I can't find a fucking outfit to save my life.

"I don't see why you don't just wear the orange dress, it looks beautiful on you." Jesse said as he held it up.

"I have orange hair, a orange dress, and this round ass belly makes me look like I belong in a farmer's market."

He snickers then stands up. "I promise you won't, you're gonna be beautiful as always." He replied then placed a kiss on my temple.

"Fine."

I sigh and grab the dress then start packing my bag. I'm driving down with Jesse and staying at his house for the weekend since he works on Saturday. I honestly wish he'd just move here and live with me. I love having him around, he's such a breath of fresh air.

Once my bag was packed, I placed it by the front door. I walked back to the room and watched Jesse gather his things. Jesus help my hormones right now, he looks so damn fine. He turned around and chuckled.

"Like what you see?" He asked and I nod.

"Love it actually."

He put his things down and walked over to me. He picked me up then kissed me. I wrap my arms around his neck as he walks towards the bed. He lays me down gently then proceeds to plant kisses all over my face and neck.

He stops and looks at me. "Thank you Sin."

"For what?" I chuckle.

"For giving me a chance, I know it's only been a couple days but it's everything I've ever dreamed it'd be."

I want to tear up so bad. He makes me feel like I'm a prize. He makes me feel so beautiful, so secure. Something that Julian stopped making me feel while we were long distance.

I place both of my hands on each side of his face. "You're so perfect." I smile.

He pecks my lips then stands up. We're taking it slow Sinead, take it slow. I sit up and watch as he finishes up packing.

"Are you ready to go?" He asks and I nod.

I push myself off the bed and walk to the front. I make sure to lock every door and window then arm the alarm system. Jesse grabs my bag and walks out. I pick my keys up then follow him out.

"You heading back?!" Melrose asked.

"Yeah."

"Be safe babe!"

"I will, thank you!"

Jesse opens my door and I get in. Once he's in we buckle up and head off. I'm nervous going back. I just knew I wasn't going to this damn party tonight. Please it be good vibes, I'm praying that it's good vibes.

"Do you have a shirt that matches my dress love?" I ask from the couch.

"Yes babe, we're gonna be so cringe."

"Shut up." I laugh.

He laid his outfit out on the bed then did the same with mine. Afterwards, he sat next to me and placed my legs on his lap. I sent Harper a quick text to make sure she's still coming tonight. I need all the back up I can get. A text from Rena came across my screen.

Rena: Hey all! A friendly reminder that the party will be at the Evelyn Morehouse ballroom, there is an open bar so drink RESPONSIBLY! always keep all drama and hard feelings outside please, this is my day and nobody will ruin it. Can't wait to celebrate with you all!
