Noticed By Rich Blood

Chapter 12:If Superheroes Were Real, He Would Be Mine

"Mr. Ahmed or whatever, can you please leave at this moment? I don't think now is the right time," Kaleb said sternly as he looked Ahmed up and down.

"Look here, I don't know who you are to Sunny, but her and I go deep, okay?,"  Ahmed wiggled his finger between me and him. 

Kaleb stepped forward, curled his fists, and gritted his teeth, "Look, I don't care, okay? But whatever business you have with my Sunny, you can take it somewhere else, please!"

Ahmed reached his fist out to punch Kaleb, but Kaleb dodged it and grabbed his arm, and pulled it tightly. "PLEASE, JUST LEAVE OR I'LL BE MORE THAN NICE," Kaleb screamed loudly and pushed his arm away.

"Oh jeez, okay, well damn," Ahmed snickered as he walked away swiftly. 

Kaleb grabbed me by my shoulders and pulled me in for a hug. He put his right hand over my head, smoothing my hair, and said,"Shhhh, it's going to be okay, I promise."

I cried loudly into his chest, "I hope it will, my love, I hope it will," I said between loud sobs. 

He took my face between his palms, "I promise I am here! And I will continue to be in the future!"

I felt a wave of butterflies rush through my stomach as he said that. A feeling of uneasiness and relief washed over me at the same time. It was then I knew He's the one. The one for me! Without thinking anything else, I pulled away from Kaleb's hug, stood on my tiptoes, and pushed my face closer to his. Kaleb stood aback, surprised as to why I pulled away from his hug.

Standing closer to him, I whispered, "Thank you. For saving me, for being there, for everything. Thank you, Kaleb Ramirez."

Kaleb breathed in sharply, "Aww, honey....," he started to say. Before he could finish, I pressed my lips against his. He replied with just as much strive. His tongue danced inside of my mouth. I pressed our lips together harder. 

Suddenly, he pulled away aggressively. "What's wrong, babe?" I ask him.

He replies, "Nothing, I just feel like I won't be able to stop there, and one thing will lead to another. I don't want things to go that far."

I take a step forward as he looks away and breaks eye contact, "Why? You don't want me? To do things like that with me?"

He stepped forward to me, gripped my shoulders, looked me in the eyes deeply, and said, "No, Sun, it's not like that. I just thought you may not want that. I don't know if this would be the right thing to say, but I want to grow old with you. Like I love you so much."

I felt the tears well up in my eyes from his touching words. "Awww....," I start to say as he rushes up to swoop me in his arms.

His fingers run through my hair yet again, "Okay, fine, I won't hold back then. Just don't cry, okay? I hate seeing you cry."

I put my face into his chest, which happens to be radiating warmth. I love this man. He's like my sun after a rainy night. "Okay, I won't cry anymore," I pull away, "I promise."

He pulled away and wiped the tears out of my eyes. Smiling as he said, "That's more like a good girl. Now, are you -" Without thinking, I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him in for another kiss. Him, just as eager, pulled me in by the waist. 

"See...now...that's what I am talking about," he murmured in between breaths. His fingers danced up and down my back. My arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him in closer.

As his fingers traced the edge of my jeans, I smiled. He opened his eyes and pulled away, "What?" He said with a playful smile on his face.

"Nothing, you just make me smile, and I'm so grateful to meet a guy who can make me smile as wide as you do," I reply, playing my fingers around his collar.
