Private (Blake Griffin)

            "Just give me a minute. Let me explain why I did that." He said, guiding me into the back room a closing the door behind him. I just crossed my arms and leaned onto the table behind me.

"I still don't understand why you'd even mention that." I huffed under my breath.

"Val, please." I looked up to see him standing in front of me; his dark brown eyes slightly glassy. He's never looked this concerned before. I've only seen his look like this a few times. I looked back down at my shoes and ignored him. My chin was lifted upwards by his index finger and he fixed his gaze upon mine. "I'm sorry. I'm an idiot. Just let me explain first."

"I'm not sure if I even want to hear why..."

"Valentina. Please." He begged, holding both of my hands in his. "I didn't know what I was doing. It just slipped out; I had a few drinks and I was a little too comfortable."

"I know. I understand that. But it still doesn't mean you can just say that. I told you a lot of personal things, Blake. Maybe I told you too much." My eyes fixed on the window behind him.

He brings my chin up again, and I stand up. "You've told me a lot of things, I know. And I had no right to let that slip out. I just want you to know that I'm genuinely sorry...and that you can still trust me with anything. It won't happen again. I've known you for how long now? Nine years? I've been by your side for a lot of tough things you've gone through...and you've been there for me with everything. I just want this all to be okay." His hands wrap around my waist and he pulls me closer. "I need you, Val."

I bite my bottom lip, not knowing what to say. I just looked up at him from my much shorter, 5'7 stance. He wrapped a finger around a strand of my dark brown hair and smiled softly, with a hopeful look in his eyes. "So, are we okay?" He asks.

"We're alright." I say.  A smile escapes his lips. "Don't get too happy now. We're just alright." I playfully try to push him off of me, but he doesn't budge.

"Alright seems good for now..." He looks up, as if he was in deep thought. "But not good enough." He picks me up and sits me on the table. Then wrapping his massive hands around my waist, he pulls my body close and pushes his soft lips onto mine.
