I know that realistically my jealousy is ridiculous. They're doing this for Thomas, to save his life. It's not like they actually want to kiss each other.

It sucks though, knowing he’ll kiss someone that isn't me. No matter what the reason is, it's hard to stomach.

“I love you,”He stated, reaching for my hand as he sat beside me.

“Okay,”I shrugged, not looking at him as I put it in my lap.

“I know you hate this. I do too, but after this, that's it. You’ll be the only one I'll ever kiss ever again. You know that, right?”

“I don't care about the stupid kiss,”I lied.

“I already know you do, okay? I could see from the beginning that you hate this,”He pushed.

“It doesn't matter to me.”

“Y/N-”
“I’m serious. I don't give a damn. Kiss Teresa all you want,”I scoffed, crossing my arms as I glared at the ground.

“I don't want to kiss her. You know that, right?”He asked softly, the sympathetic smile clear in his voice. Ignoring him anyway, I kept my eyes on the dirt beneath my feet as my lips pursed together.

I do care. I care a lot.

As I stayed silent he gently placed his hand under my chin. Raising my jaw, he made me look him in the eyes as he stood right in front of me. Feigning ignorance to the heat rising to my cheeks, I stayed still.

“I’m in love with you and only you, no matter what. I already have an absolutely perfect girl, and I’ll never want another. No matter what, you own every piece of my heart. Nothing could change the way I feel about you, and I would never do this if I didn't have to. It's only because Thomas’s life would be in danger otherwise so I have to suck it up and go along with the plan. I don't want to, but I don't have another choice. As soon as this is over though, your lips are the only ones that mine will ever touch. I will only ever taste you, hold you, and tell you I love you. I know this is the worst, but it's almost over. After this is done and we’re safe, all my attention can go back to you, exactly where it belongs. Okay?”

“Yeah. Okay,”I folded. To be fair to me, how could I not? I mean he basically pulled a little speech out of mid air with such love in both his eyes and voice. That's just something you can't be upset at.

“Good,”He smiled. Not the almost sad one from earlier. A more genuine and relieved one.

“I love you too,”I promised.

“Aww.”

Leaning down, he kissed my forehead before wrapping an arm around my shoulder to pull me close to him. Burying my head on his chest, I smiled as I clung to him.

“Come on. We need some sleep before tomorrow,”He pointed out. Nodding in agreement, I moved my head off of him and slid off the boulder. Doing the same, he landed on his feet before plopping down and leaned against it, his arms already open for me. Instantly accepting it, I placed my head back on his chest, curling up to his side. Wrapping his arms back around me, he placed his chin on my head as he hugged me as tightly as possible. Shutting my eyes, I silently wished to be trapped in this moment forever.

“You never have to be jealous, angel. I’m already yours,”He whispered in my ear.

“All mine?”I mumbled.

“All yours. Forever.”
