Vitality

Chapter 23

*Two months later*

Keaton had a full recovery from his concussion. Everyone was so thrilled and happy. I've been helping him daily with anything he needed help with. After the first month he didn't need help with anything. All my colleges were still on the table. I had to make a decision in two weeks and so did Keaton. Since his injury, Clemson University had to rethink his scholarship. He still didn't hear back from them.

"So when are your parents coming back?" Keaton asked me as we were sitting on the couch watching tv.

"They come back tomorrow night!" I replied popping a couple pieces of pop corn into my mouth.

"Cool" He replied while taking a handful of popcorn from the bowl resting on my lap.

"So I didn't tell you, but I did some more redecorating in my little secret hideout" I placed the bowl of popcorn on the table and took his hand. "Here I'll show you"

I let him crawl in first to see what I did. I put a ton of pictures of us on one wall and then on the other wall I painted Fall Out Boy lyrics.

"This is great Ari" he turned and looked at me.

"Thank you I try" I curtsied while laughing.

He chuckled as well and then walked over to the pictures.

I took a seat on the fluffy ground that I covered with a bunch of comforters and blankets and pillows. Keaton turned around and saw me lying down and he did the same.

He hovered over me and started kissing me. I was really enjoying this so I wrapped my arms around him. He stopped kissing me and looked into my eyes. "Ari, I love you more then anything. And I want us to last forever"

I sat up which made him sit up. I kissed his cheek and then said "I want that too. And no matter what, I'll always love you" I grabbed his face and kissed him again. We both were laughing and smiling in between the kisses. I started taking my shirt and pants off and he helped me this time. I was surprised he didn't stop me. I helped him take his articles of clothing off as well. We both got under some of the blankets. While we were doing this he was kissing my stomach and I was laughing.

"You're so beautiful" he kept kissing my body.

I was feeling his abs and back muscles and they were so hot and tight. I felt his hands go for the back of my bra and he unclipped it. I threw my bra off to the side and then I went for his boxers. We both made eye contact.

"Are you sure?" He asked me

I nodded. I took off his boxers and he took of my panties. He picked up his pants and got a condom out of one of the pockets. I helped him put it on and then he grabbed my face and we started intensely making out. He was kissing my body all over and I was getting so turned on. I threw my head back in pleasure. I wrapped my legs around him and felt it all at once.

"That was amazing" I whispered into his ear. We were lying like we always do when we cuddle. My head and hand was on his chest and his arm was around me. Except this time we were both naked, and we just had sex.

"It was. I didn't go too hard on you did I?" He asked me

"No, it was just right" I kissed his cheek.

We just lied there for about an hour enjoying each other's company. I really felt like this is it. That he's the one that I'm going to end up with. Everything just feels right when I'm with him and I love that.

*A couple days later*

"There's a letter from Clemson" Keaton looked up at me and began to open it.

I got up walked towards him.

His face went from happy and excited to sad and disappointed.

"They aren't accepting me because of my injury. They don't want me playing for them" he ripped up the letter, threw it in the garbage and went upstairs.

"Shit. Poor Keaton" I followed him into his room. He was sitting at the edge of his bed with his head in his hands.

"I'm a fucking idiot. Now where the hell am I going to go?" He looked up at me and his face was all red.

"We'll figure it out babe, don't worry" I sat next to him and grabbed his hand.

He rested his head on my shoulder. I lied down so he could lay on my chest while I played with his hair.

"I'm still really proud of you. You worked really hard" I honestly told him

"I couldn't have worked that hard without you" he looked at me and then leaned in. I kissed him back and we both moved in sync.

"You're seriously the best thing that's ever happened to me in my whole life" I proudly said to him. "And no matter what, like where we go to college or whatever bump in the road comes our way, I'll always be there for you because I love you. Keaton I'm madly in love with you" I smiled while saying those words.

"I'm madly in love with you, Walker"

And that is how the bad boy of West Canal learned how to correctly read, write and fall in love. Keaton taught me numerous amounts of things also. He opened my possibilities and helped me through a lot. Tate taught me a lot as well. You have to fight for what you believe in no matter what. You're the one that makes choices in your life. So try your hardest to make the best ones. If you make a wrong mistake it is okay, you will learn from it. But you only get to have one life, so why not make your life something to live for? It's the only way to stay happy and healthy. Meeting Keaton gave me the vitality to view the world differently and I can never thank him enough.
