The New Student

Chapter 26

Dylan's POV

Growing up, I always pushed love away, thinking it was a weakness. But the more I continued to push it away, the more I yearned for it; which I hated. Love was too many things in one that caused too much pain, or so I thought. 

I wanted what my parents had. That feeling that when you're around them, it feels like your heart is beating outside your chest. That feeling when even if you're not around them, all they do is take up all your thoughts, making it the most difficult thing to focus on other things. 

I thought this type of love was truly lost, especially after my mom died. It felt like when she died, she took all the love in the world with her. It felt so impossible to even think about the word 'love' without her living in this world. 

But I guess that's why Naomi caught my heart so well. She wasn't scared of my bold looks that came her way. She wasn't taken aback by my good looks. Nor did she go weak in the knees and completely fall down when looking me in the eye. She didn't even seem interested in anything I had to offer when I first met her. 

She look like she wanted to do the complete opposite of everything I just said and run for the hills when she saw me. She treated me like I was normal. Like I was every other person- just another nuisance background character in her small world. 

I knew from the beginning that she was going to be mine. From the moment I laid my eyes on her in the dark hidden corner of the history room, I knew I had to have her by my side. It was like gravity was pushing me towards her unwilling, but I didn't stop it, I let it till she was wrapped in my arms. 

I thought she was going to be bad for me. I knew I was putting her in danger which kept me from admitting my feelings for a long time but now that I think about it, I don't regret a single thing. She's my heat fire. She's my Bonnie and I'm her Clyde. I know that we'll fight for each other. Even in the most dangerous moments. 

She was currently in my arms, laying on my king bed. After the Ferris Wheel ride, I took us home and I couldn't help but make love to her. Not have her my way and ravage her like I wished I could, but actually made love to her. I felt it was time that I show her I'm for real about her. Because she's all I crave. All I want. All I need. 

I would throw I way the pathetic thing I call a life and everyone in it if it was just me and her. The whole world could be falling apart, and I would just see her. I fell hard and deep. I feel like I've fallen from the highest mountain and landed into the deepest part of the sea. I was drowning, but she gave me the air that I needed without having to come back up to the surface. 

I stared at her as she slept peacefully, hopefully in her own calm state of mind. It's like she gets more beautiful everyday. Sometimes, as selfish as it sounds, she makes me not want to pull out. Just thinking about the beautiful children that we could have, will have in the future just makes me want to speed up time, getting to the moment quickly. 

But it's too early. And her parents would kill her. Even if I did get her pregnant, it wouldn't be on purpose. Not yet. 

I held a tight firm grasp on her waist, scared of letting her go. Fearing, that if I do, she'll never find the arms she once found shelter in and claimed as her home. 

Maybe I was being excessive but I don't care. She's my everything, even though we got her so fast. Just thinking about how in the beginning how I tried to push her away. I failed miserably and I'm glad I did. I never been happier at a failed attempt in my life. 

I sometimes think of how my dad won't approve but I never really cared about his opinion anyway. As long as she's by my side, all I care about is keeping her safe. I'll throw my whole life away, including all the mafia and war bullshit if it means I get to hold her forever. 

"I love you, Naomi. I don't when. Probably since the day I laid my eyes on you but all I know, is you're it for me. I want nothing else but you. You truly made me a better man. Wǒ ài nǐ." <I love you.>  I whisper to her softly, not knowing if she listening or still in her peaceful state of sleep. 

I lay a kiss upon her forehead, letting it linger for as much as it can before releasing. I stroke her cheeks with the pad of my thumb, feeling her soft skin flow under my touch. Never in a million years did I think that she would be the one to change me like she did, but she did.

I continue to stroke her face till she begins to move from under my touch. I slowly move my hand and stare at her beautiful face. 

"I love you too." I hear her say quietly as she opens her eyes. When our eyes meet, it felt like time froze. Like it was made and stopped in place just for us. I looked into her beautiful brown orbs, them drawing me in quicker than imaginable. I didn't realize I was inching closer to her till our noses touched. 

Our breaths were in sync and all I could do was take in a deep breath. Smelling her scent was a thirst that is unquenchable, an addiction that can never stop, a wound that could never heal. And I'll let that would bleed out till there's nothing left if that means I can look into her eyes for eternity. 

I suddenly wanted her. Wanted her under me as I could love her in so many different ways. I'm guessing she saw the look in my eyes because her lips were on mine in seconds. While my hands grasped her face, hers found their way into my hair, which I loved; especially when she tugged on them ever so slightly. 

I rolled on top of her and let my lips glide down her body, licking and sucking in different areas. Her gasps and moans were like music to my ears. And I wanted more. 

I came back up till our faces met and were inches apart. I gave her a hard long kiss, almost feeling scared to let go of the moment. 

When we finally ripped apart from the lack of oxygen, we stared deep into each others eyes. I knew we both had the same look in them. We wanted each other in more ways than one. That lustful but love look that we shared on our faces told us everything without even saying a word. 

"I need you." I told her, meaning every word.

"And I you."
