I Can't Love You || r.s.l (SLOW UPDATES)

I toss my keys onto the counter. "You've worked so hard the past week, Merida. Please take sometime off," I smile genuinely.

She smiles back. "Thank you, Mr. Lynch," she hangs up we apron.

I dash up the stairs to find Jamie. I found her on the balcony, looking down. I walk out, placing my hands on her hips. "What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" I ask as I place my chin on her shoulder.

A small smile forms on her lips. "You," she whispers as I sit in a chair next to her.

I watch the wind blow, making her hair flow perfectly behind her. Her bright eyes stare into space as she smiles. I stare at her beautiful face, examining the features.

I was snapped back to reality when Jamie sits on my lap. I rest my hands on her waist. "Merida said your parents want us to meet them somewhere for dinner around eight-thirty," she whispers.

I glance at my phone to see its 7:45. "Alright, we should start getting ready then," I sigh as she climbs off of me.

I watch her walk, biting my lip as she goes into the closet. "What're you staring at?" She playfully shoves my chest after tossing her dress on the bed.

I wrap my arms around her waist, sliding my hands down to her butt. "Nothing," I say before kissing her lips softly. "But I was confused on one thing," I say as she pulls away.

"What's that?" She changes quickly before going into the bathroom to do her makeup.

I lean against the doorframe. "What are we?"

She freezes, looking up at me. "Um- what do you want to be?" She mutters as she looks at her makeup.

"Well, I would like to be dating. I was just confused because we're always kissing and such but I never asked you to be my girlfriend. So I guess what I'm trying to get at is, I wanna be your everything. I want to be the one thing you look forward to coming home for every night. I want to be the one to heal what's been broken. I want to be your one and only," I ramble.

The smile from earlier returns to her face. "You've been my everything from the beginning," she stands up and walks over to me. "I do look forward to coming home to you," she grabs my waist, pulling it to hers. "You are healing what's broken," I cup her cheeks. she presses her lips to mine. "And you are my one and only," she says into my mouth.

I smile into the kiss, sliding my hands down to her thighs. She wraps her arms around my neck and jumps onto my waist. "I love you, Jamie," I whisper as I lay her on the bed. "I love you so much that.. I can't do this with you. Not today, baby," I pull away.

Her fingers tangle in my hair. "Thank you," she smiles weakly. I kiss her sweetly once more before getting ready.

"This restaurant is swarmed with paparazzi. Hold my hand tightly and smile, okay?" I say as I park the car.

Jamie leans over the middle consul and kisses me hard on the lips. "It's hard not to smile when I'm around you," she giggles as she sits back in her seat.

I walk over to her side of the car after getting out. I help the gorgeous girl out of the car and lace my fingers with her. "Ross! What's next after the wedding!?" Someone yells.

"Jamie, are you going to quit to live off of his money!?" Someone else yells, making her grab my hand tighter.

Once we go inside and find my parents, we sit at the table with them. "Hey," I capture their attention.

They both look up with giant smiles. "Good evening, Ross and Jamie," my dad nods at us.

I pull the chair out for Jamie and push it in after she sits down. "Thank you," she blushes before leaning over and kiss me quickly.

I put my hand on her cheek, smiling. I pull away and rub my nose against hers. "You guys are so cute!" My mom gushes.

"Thanks, mom," I chuckle as we look over the menu.

Jamie taps my thigh, making me look over at her. She holds out her hand. I smile before slipping my fingers through hers. "I love you," she whispers before kissing my cheek.

"I thought you can't love me," I smirk.

She rolls her eyes. "Shut up and say it back," she whines.

"I love you so much," I kiss the tip of her nose. Dinner went by in the blink of an eye. We had so much fun chatting with my parents. But Jamie seemed.. needy. She kept leaning on me and she was very touchy. When we get home and ready for bed, it's a little after 11. "Whatcha need, baby?" I ask as she wraps her arms around my neck.

I rest my hands on her hips. "I wanted to ask you something," She replies softly.

I place a soft, gentle kiss on her lips. "What's up?"

She twirls my fingers in the hair behind my head. "If I wanted to, would we go all the way?"

I widen my eyes. "I-I.."
