I Don't Mind

Chapter 27

Derek's POV

He's my fucking boyfriend!!!!

Adrian's my boyfriend!!!

This feels so surreal. I can't believe he wanted to be with me. I seriously cannot fuck this up. Adrian is the only person I want to be with, and I will do anything for him. Literally, I will do anything for him that is not illegal. If he wants me to kill someone I will not, but I will do a lot of things that are legal for him. 

Now I can hold him in my arms and kiss him all I want. Only if he says I can though. I don't want to be weird about it. 

"What's got you so happy?" DeShaun asks as he walks back into the room from the bathroom. 

"Nothing. Just saw a funny video," I lie. Obviously, Adrian is the only person on my mind right now. I want to give him the world. I want to give him all the romance that he never got in high school, for some reason. 

"Nice. I'm gonna go to sleep," he says. 

"Alright. Same." 

I have a really tough time falling asleep because Adrian and I being a couple gave me so much more energy and now I can't fall asleep. My smile that DeShaun saw a little bit ago probably has not come off of my face, and I don't think it will leave my face. There's no reason for me not to be smiling all the time. I'm in a relationship!!! 

I do manage to fall asleep eventually, and when I wake up, I shower and get ready for class. I want me and Adrian's first official date to be nice. I don't really know where we're gonna eat yet, but anywhere is fine with me. As long as I get to see my gorgeous angel. That's all that really matters to me. Seeing his face, his smile, his hair, his eyes, all that stuff. 

On the way out of the building, I run into Adrian and smile at him. 

"Hey," I say kind of awkwardly. 

"Hey. Uh, how are you?" he asks, matching my awkwardness. 

"Good. How about you?" 

"Same as you," he replies. 

"That's good to hear." 

"Yeah." 

"We shouldn't be awkward like this, it kind of just feels so weird." I lower my voice. "You're my boyfriend, we should be comfortable." 

"Yeah, I agree. Anyways, where should we meet to go to the mall?" 

"Your room. Just go straight there after class, and text me when you get there." 

"Alright." 

I look around, notice no one in the hall on either side and look down at Adrian, who's looking up at me. "Can I kiss you?" I ask. "Quickly?" 

"Yeah. Yes, of course." 

I cup his face and quickly kiss him, feeling his soft lips, which will undoubtedly get me through the day. I am dating this man that looks like a model. He could be a model for anything and look absolutely perfect for it. 

"I'll see you later," I say, hugging him. "Have a good day." 

"Uh, yeah. You too," he says, dazed. Is he dazed from the kiss? 

I leave the building and get to my car, going straight to my first class. I don't even know if I even have the effort that it takes to still act straight. Obviously, if I don't, that could get me in huge trouble with my mom who is being way too overbearing considering I'm an adult in college, but I want to make Adrian happy. Seeing him smile is the best part of my day, and I want him to be smiling with me while we hold hands in public.
