Forever My Love

Alex; Chapter 8

I just had sex. Sex with her. Lacy Grahams. Everything about her is perfect. I admire her. She admitted to me that she is afraid. Afraid of what is going between us because of her asshole boyfriend, Arlo who backstabbed her. Who cares about Arlo when I have her in my arms. Her skin is soft, and her hair is wet from the shower we shared together. Everything is going too fast, but I don't care. I want her and only her and I can't believe she is in my arms.

Morning came as the beams of the sun shines into the window glancing at my eyes. I yawn and adjust my eyes as I see her, still in my arms. Until I see her eyes flutter open. She is so pretty when wakes up. "Good morning, princess" as I lay a kiss on her head. "Good morning, Alex", she says cheerfully. She moves so she can meet my gaze. "Last night was" "perfect?" I cut in; "perfect" she smiles. I want to kiss that smile. I want to kiss her again. Her lips were soft and passionate. "My parents wants a meeting with me, again" she scoffs as she mentions her parents. I didn't know she wasn't close with them; something we have in common. "Do you want to come with me? I hate facing them alone", I'm shocked that she wants me to go with her, "Of course, lacy, I would be happy to", I smile at her, and we got out of bed, and I watch her as she grabs the same green dress she wore yesterday, "We can stop in your room so you can grab a clean dress"

"I can just wear this dress, its fine", she walks to the door, but I grabbed her wrist before she can reach the doorknob, "what's wrong?", I can tell something is wrong. I see it in her face. "Arlo is here." Her sentence hits me like a bullet. "Arlo?" and she nods. "Why?", she meets my gaze, "They think we aren't working, a relationship..." I see her letting out a small breath. I cup her face, "Princess I'm going to be by your side. I'm not leaving you". I placed a kiss on top of her forehead, "Thank you, Alex" and then we walked out of my room.

I'm holding her hands. Our finger intertwining. I wish we were walking to the garden, but we are walking to our "doom" as she calls it. We're Infront of the meeting hall doors. I can tell how much she is nervous, "Lacy, you are sweating". She glances at me, "Can we just not go in? I don't want to see him" her voice is shaky, and it pangs me that she feels like that. "We can just see what they want, and we can leave. I'm right beside you" and the guard open the door. I see Arlo. He is tall, brown hair and green eyes. He is the asshole who hurt her. I walked in with her beside me, and we sat next to each other, continue to hold hands. "Lacy and..Alex?" her mother says in a puzzled manor. "Yes, ma'am" I give her a smile, but my gaze is fixated on him, Arlo. Arlo hasn't looked away from Lacy since she walked in and it's making me angry. "Oh darling, you look gorgeous", he says to lacy. I feel her getting tensed as he talks to her. She is uncomfortable. I rest my hand onto her thigh hoping she would feel at ease. "Alex, this is Arlo", her father says to me. "Nice to meet you, Arlo" it was not nice to meet him. "You're Alex?", he lets out a small chuckle, "Lacy and I go way back, isn't that right", I glance at her who refuses to make eye contact with Arlo which makes me smile. "Now, Arlo, why can you just give it a rest? She clearly does not want to form a relationship with you again. Not what you did to her." I can't believe I just blurted that out. "Yeah, Arlo I don't. Alex and I are starting to become a real thing. He treats me better than you ever did". Arlo stand there. Frozen. "Cmon, darling I'll treat you better" then, she is standing up, "I'm in love with Alex! Why can't you guys just accept that?"

"Because honey, he is poorer. Arlo can treat you better than...him", I don't care what they are saying I'm only focused on what she said, "I'm in love with Alex!" its spiraling in my head. "Fuck you." and she is running out of the meeting hall, leaving me alone. "I must be going now" I stood up walking back slowly, "It was nice meeting you" I let out a small chuckle and ran out of the meeting hall to find her.
