HOUSE

    The car ride back to Cench's house is awfully quiet. I have been nervously playing with my rings. I look out the window and tried to read the signs outside to distract my brain from the quietness. Suddenly Cench begins to speak. "So, is this for sure the end?" He asks taking a turn. I l look at him as he's driving, he was staring intensely at the road. "Jacob and I?" I ask. He nods his head. "Yeah, it's over." I look back down at my hands. 

   He parks the car on the side of a huge house. "Good because I don't think I can keep doing this Jade." He turns the car off. "Wh-what do you mean?" My heart starts to pound. "I didn't want to mention this before because I really like you, but every time Jacob leaves you or you guys have a problem you run to me." He sighs and takes his seatbelt off. "What do you mean?" I ask. 

   He fixes himself on the seat. "Look, the first time we ever kissed was because Jacob was inside talking to a girl while I waited out there for you to calm down. Don't get me wrong... I wanted to kiss you...I wanted to kiss you so bad, but I knew in the back of my mind that you wished I was him." He stated. "Cench please stop..." I shake my head. "Jade, the day we first slept together you were in my house because he was sleeping with another girl." He adds. 

    "Cench it's not like that at all." Tears form in my eyes. "Don't cry Jade. This isn't something I am mentioning to make you cry." His tone of voice goes softer. "I am just saying that there is so many examples of you only coming to me when he doesn't want you. It took one fuck up from me for you to run back to him." He explains. I look out the window now realizing how fucked up I have been to him. I never knew that I was using him like that. 

   The silence filled the car once more. "Cench, I am truly sorry for making you feel that way. In all honesty that was not my intention. I genuinely like you; I was just-" "In love with him." He cut me off.  In that moment I realized that I couldn't say anything to get him to believe me that I really have deep feelings for him. "Cench... I am truly sorry. I never realized how fucked up I was being. I was so caught up in my own stuff that I wasn't seeing the way I was treating you." I apologize. 

   Cench closes his eyes for a moment and lets out a big sigh. He looks me deep in the eyes. "So, sitting right here... right now... what do you want from me?" He says in a stern but soft voice. I knew he was upset but I really appreciated the fact that he didn't yell or try to hit something like Jacob. He is truly a genuine person and I really do want him. "I want you." I reply. 

   Cench's face lights up.  "Do you really mean that or are you just saying that because you and Jacob broke up?" He asks. I shake my head, "I really mean it." I give him a faint smile. He smiles back. "Cool I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page." He says with a smile. I nod my head. His eyes fixated on my lips. The tension in the car soon became thick. I started to lean in, and he copied the same movements. "You are so lucky that you are pretty." He says putting his hand on my face. I blush. He drags the pad of his thumb on my bottom lip. Before I could get another breath in his lips crashed against mine. 

   Our lips moved so effortlessly together; I felt my body melt into his. As soon as we pull away it was like we were finally picking up the air we lost. "You ready to move all your stuff inside?" He points his thumb back to the backseat filled with all my stuff. "Yes I am." I speak. "Alright, let me see if I can get someone inside to help us bring everything in. He opens his side of the door and before I could say anything he runs inside. 

    I open up my door and breathe in all the air from outside. Being here is so refreshing, I know this will be what is best for me. I open the back door and start taking out some of my bags. Cench comes from behind me, and two other people follow him. "This is my assistant Penny and one of my bodyguards Dave." He introduces them. "Hi nice to meet you. My name is Jade." I shake their hand.
