I ran into the bathroom to grab a large Band-Aid and put it on my cut. Then immediately ran into my room to get dressed. I made sure I wore a long sleeve t-shirt and that it was baggy on me. Anthony walked into my room. With a worried look on his face. I looked at him and saw in his eyes that he was afraid for me that he wouldn't accept me. It was getting serious with Jaime even though he didn't ask him to be his girlfriend. He made me feel amazing about myself. He showed it to me on our first date. But now, I know that Jaime wants to get serious and he needs to know about me. I hugged Anthony to insure him that I'll be fine no mater what.
"I'll have you no matter what Anthony. Remember I Love You" I said to Anthony
"I know and that's the scary part." Anthony responded.
"Ha-ha shut up Anthony!" I said.
We laughed and we headed to the living room. "Clink!" My phone rang. I unlocked it to see a text from Jaime. I read it. Then took in a breath.
"I'm turning into the apartment complex." Jaime texted me.
I knew it would only be a few minutes until he pulled up ad he was at our apartment door. Waiting for me. I heard a knock at the door. My heart pounded hard and almost up into my throat. I slowly walked into the door to open it. I unlocked it and heard a click. Jaime on the other side of the door.
"Hey there beauty" Jaime said to me as he walked in.
"Heeeey there" I responded.
"So what's up?" Jaime said.
We sat on the couch. I looked at him then looked down. Thinking of the worst possible thing ever that could happen between us. I grabbed his hand and squeezed it.
"Jaime, I have to tell you something. And I'm a little afraid to tell you. Just please don't freak out or get mad." I said.
"What it is? I won't get mad. Just tell me already." Jaime said.
"Okay." I lifted up my sleeves to show off my scars and my just recent cut.
I saw the hurt in his eyes. Damn I hurt him. DEEPLY. Tears started to form in my eyes. and roll down my face. I wasn't ready to see his face.
"Oh my gosh. Vicky........" Jaime said
"Why would you do such a thing to yourself"
He continued with "Your beautiful honey."
He picked up my head and wiped the tears. Then kissed me. "I want to be with you Vicky, and if you thought that this would change everything.......you're wrong. I want to help you get past this. I want to heal with you. You, Vicky, make me feel amazing about myself. You make me feel alive. And now, I'll do anything to keep you in my life. You know why?" He looked at me.
"Why?" I said
"Because I like broken girls. They're a little harder to get to. And have a protective shell. You give me everything. I get the chance to fix you. And enjoy that. So Vicky.... Will you be my girlfriend?" Jaime finished with.
I smiled at him with shimmery eyes. SO relieved. I Loved what he said. Tears fell But this time because of happiness.
"Of course Jaime!!!" I said and jumped into his arms. I kissed him once again.
