I'm Yours

~3 hours later~

I just heard the bell ring. "School is out. Now we can go home," I said trying to not seem nervous. "Oh no, I told you I was going to confront Aaron, I even waited because you asked. But it's definitely going to happen and you can't keep stalling me." James replied determined to go see Aaron. I was so anxious about what this confrontation could lead to. A fight, someone could get hurt, or suspended, or jailed. I have to do whatever I can to at least make sure it's a controlled situation. "Just promise you'll control yourself. I don't want anything bad happening to you," I pleaded with him.

"Promise. Now come on before we miss him," James said walking towards the path to the front of the school and signaling for me to follow him. I had to speed walk to keep up with his long strides.

Soon we were just turning the corner to the front of the building where the teens leaving the school were visible. I spotted Aaron and apparently so did James.

He marched right up to him and spoke harshly, "If I ever hear from my girl that you have been talking to her again, I swear I will end you. You got that?"

I flinched at the anger in his voice. But Aaron didn't seem fazed, not even a little. He just smirked and said, "Sure why not? I think I'm allergic to whores anyway." With that James balled up his fist at his side and was getting ready to hit Aaron, but with one swift motion I spun James around to face me.

"Control, remember? Don't let him get to you like that. What he says about me doesn't matter. I don't care, his opinion of me is irrelevant, to say the least," I cooed reasonably. James seemed to calm down and took a deep breath. Aaron just shrugged and walked away.

~~~~~Later at my house~~~~~~

I was cuddled up to James on the couch thinking about the days events while he stroked my hair and traced circles on my arm with his fingers. Then I spoke and said, "Why were you being so protective of me today? And you said I was your girl too."

Then he looked at me questioningly and said, " You are my girl, and if i'm not protective over you, then who will be?" I smiled. "James, I want to ask you... We're just friends right?" I asked, hoping for a no. He smirked and said, "If that's all you want to be, then yes."

"What if it's not?" I inquired. He looked down at me hopefully, "What is it that you want then?" he said and leaned closer. I slightly tilted my head back to get a better look at those beautiful eyes, "I want you, and I want to be yours." And with that he pressed his lips against mine softly, pulled away and said, "I love you, I'm yours, and you belong to me." I gasped and pulled him back into a kiss slowly, then let go and whispered, "I love you too"
