"I'm so happy!" Anne squealed excitedly into Tristan's jacket when he got to her apartment.
"Why?" He asked after he took a seat. He loved seeing her happy because it made him happy.
"I got accepted into the college I vied for!" She squealed again.
Tristan smiled at her and exclaimed "Really?"
"Uh huh." She squealed again.
"I'll be leaving in six months so we have a lot of time." She said and winked at him.
"This is great. We have to celebrate." Tristan said and hugged her. She was short and because if that,he towered over her.
"I like fish,I hate meat, allergic to anything octopus." She said when they got to his car. He nodded and opened the car door for her.
"This place is nice." She said and blinked a bit. She was adorned in a white summer dress and had her hair in a ponytail.
"Yes,I had it specifically made just for you." Tristan said with his hand at his back.
"What's behind you?" She asked and took her seat.
"I got it for you." He said and extended his hand, revealing a jewellery box.
"This is so beautiful." She marveled at the sight in the box. It was a locket with their initials engraved on it.
"This is to remember me..when you leave for college." He said shyly.
"This is beautiful." She said and pecked him on the nose.
The dinner was blissful. It was spent talking about themselves and what they feared and adored.
"Let me take you somewhere." Tristan said and held her hand.
"Ooh where?" She intriguingly asked.
"You'll see when we get there." He said with a playful wink.

He drove towards a hotel. "This place is so big." Anne whispered when he was booking a room. Tristan smiled at her and held her,directing her to their room.
The hotel room was dimly lit, warm and inviting. She moved towards him, their bodies pressing against one another. The kiss felt like a natural progression of their conversation, a shared admission that they both wanted this moment.
His fingers moved slowly down her neck and up her arms, sending shivers down her spine. She smiled and nuzzled his neck, her breath catching in her throat when she felt his hand slide under her dress.
They didn't want to speak, they didn't want anything to ruin this moment. They let their bodies speak the words they couldn't.
"You look nice today." He whispered when he broke the kiss.
"Thanks." She blushed. She was shy but she knew he wouldn't hurt her.
"Are you sure?" He asked and held her chin.
She nodded and looked at him innocently.
Every time he looked into her brown for eyes,he felt himself falling deeper.
"I'm sure." She said once again.
They were about to kiss again when suddenly,there was a knock on the door.
"Are you guys fucking in there?" Felix asked while still knocking.
"Shit." Tristan cursed under his breath.
"How did he find us?" Anne mouthed and combed her messy hair with her hand.
Tristan shrugged and stood off the bed.
"Wait here." He said and walked towards the door.

"Are you two fucking?" Felix asked without shame.
"What?! No, we're not fucking...I mean whatever." Tristan half-yelled.
"Then explain the crinkled shirt,the messy hair and the lipstick stain on your neck." Felix said through clenched teeth.
"That's something personal,it's none of your business." Tristan spat.
"Wow,because of some whore,you think you're some shit." Felix chuckled coldly.
Tristan punched him and held him by his collar.
"She's not some whore. She's Anne,the woman I love. And if you ever talk shit about her,I'll have your dick on a platter!" He yelled menacingly.
Felix wiped a bit of blood from his busted lip and looked up at his brother. At that moment,a sudden wave of anger and hatred overpowered him. All he saw was red.
"Understood." He said with a strange voice before walking away.
___
"What happened?" Anne asked and looked at his busted knuckle.
"What happened?" She asked tearily.
Tristan hated to see her cry.
"He said some bad things about you. So I beat him up." He said calmly.
"You beat him!" She yelled. She stood off the bed and looked at him.
"You beat him?" She asked again.
He nodded and looked into her eyes.
"I don't like people talking nonsense about the people I love." He said and held her chin between his thumb and index.
"You love me?" She asked with glazed eyes.
"I have said it several times. And I'll keep saying it." He whispered.
Anne smiled and tip toed.
"Then how will you show me that you love me?" She asked and placed a kiss on his jaw.
"Like this." He said and pushed her gently onto the bed.
