Romanticizing My Life

3

i finally got to kiss those luscious lips of hers that i'd been craving. god she was going to be the end of me. 'did you like that princess?'

she was absolutely breathless. i loved seeing her breathless. god i could watch her all day and would not get bored. that doesn't mean i forgot about her dad and what he does to her. for now i'm just going to comfort her as much as i can.

'you want to go to class now princess?' she looks up to my 6'5 height with those pretty, piercing emerald eyes. she responds to me once i stop staring

'i think i'm just going to go the bathroom and cover my face up then i'll go' she looks up at me putting on a fake smile while walking off. i grab her by the waist and pull her back in with her back against my chest.

'shh gabby, let me hold you for a bit' she eventually gives in and just melts into the hug 'your so pretty you know that?' i say as i tilt her head backwards so i could see her blushing.

'oh-uh thank you i guess' with that rosy pink blush still on her face. i bend down and give her forehead a little peck and hold her hand.

'cmon, let's go to the bathroom and get you all sorted' she smiles and just nodded her head. i pull her out of the classroom and take her to the bathroom, protecting her from anyone looking at her.

i pull her into the bathroom and lock the door while she gets the makeup out of her bag. she applies the concealer on the bruise and starts dabbing it with the sponge but starts wincing. i take the sponge from her hand.

'may i?' i ask her pointing to her bruised cheek. she looks down at her feet and starts playing with her fingers and just gently nods. i lift her jaw up to get a better look at the bruise. i wonder how someone could do this to gabby, my gabby.

i start gently and slowly dabbing the sponge on her bruise where some of the concealer had covered. she winced a bit, i stopped for a bit to let the pain wear down, give her a forehead a little kiss and continue to dab the sponge gently.

i remember how to do makeup and everything from my sister. well past sister. she passed away when i was 15. it's been two years and not a day goes by when i don't think about her.

i finish applying her makeup and give her a gentle peck on her lips.

'are you ready to go gabby?'

'yes let's go'

i unlock the bathroom door, grab her hand and walk to class with her. i walk in the classroom with her hands joined with mine when i see everyone's eyes on us and everyone starts whispering.

i see her looking down at her shoes fidgeting with the hem of her top. i squeeze her hand a bit

'don't worry about them princess, they're just jealous'

she looks up to me and smiles.

'ok, let's go sit down aaron'

oh god what that voice does to me. i give the top of her head a light kiss and we go sit at the back of the classroom.

there we no double desks free so i have to kick two people off the table so i could sit next to gabby. she sits down next to me and rests her head down onto her desk.

i grab her jaw and lift it up gently.

'rest your head on my shoulder, ok ma?'

she just nodded her head and rested it on my shoulder. i kiss her head and start listening in to the lesson

~~

she ends up falling asleep half way through the lesson. i doubt the teacher even noticed cause we were at the very back. when the lesson finished i wake her up.

'come on baby, lessons over time to get up'

she opens her eyes and smiles. she gets up and starts to walk off. i pull her arm back gently to wait for me. she turns around and rolls her eyes

'just hurry up aaron'

i chuckle a bit and get up. we start walking to the cafeteria for lunch. we get our food and sit down at a table, while i'm eating i see that she's barely eating anything.

'you ok ma? why aren't you eating?'

she looks at me and puts on a fake smile like usual.

'don't worry about it aaron, i'm just not hungry'

i gently lift her face up to face mine. i can see her eyes are a bit glossy and that there are tears her eyes. when she blinks a few tears fall down her face. i wipe them and sneak my hand around her waist. she rests her head on my shoulder and lets a couple of tears fall.

'please don't cry gabby, i don't like it when you do. now please tell me what's wrong'

she just shakes her head.

'please don't, nothing's wrong i promise'

i just nod my head and wipe the tears off her face. i really can't stand to see her like this, it honestly breaks my heart to see her like this.

'hey aaron?'

'yeah gabby?'

she gulps before she starts speaking

'can we go back to your house, please'

she's about to start crying again i can tell, of course i'm going to say yes there's no way i'm going to let her skip school by herself.

'of course ma, don't worry about it'

she smiles and gets up. this time i follow her like a lovesick puppy and don't pull her back into a hug. we walk out and go to my car. i go to the passenger side and open the door for her. she smiles at me with her cheeks gone all red

'thank you aaron'

'your welcome princess'

i go to the drivers side and get in the car. i start the car and we start leaving to go to my house. halfway there she has fallen asleep. 10 minutes pass and we finally get back to my house.

'gabby, come on get up we're here'

she opens her eyes and rubs them. i get out of the car and go and open the door for her. she gets out and looks at the house

'wow your house is stunning'

'thank you'

she smiles and i grab her hand to start walking inside. i open the door and her mouth is wide open.

'oh my god it is really stunning'

'well thank you now let's go watch a movie or something ok ma?'
