Beautiful Secrets

Chapter 27

We ate at a little Italian restaurant in Brooklyn. So many people walked up to Jimmy and snapped "secret" pictures of us eating. It got pretty annoying. "How do you get use to this?" I whispered to him as we ate. "I don't know, you just do" he said as he took a bite of salad. I furrowed my brows and looked around. Everyone who was taking our picture quickly put their phone down. I rolled my eyes and took a bite of my spaghetti. "Excuse me? Are you Jimmy Fallon?" Some random girl asked as she walked up to our table. She had long brown hair and was almost as tall as Jimmy. She was pretty, cute, obviously trying to get Jimmy's attention. She put her elbows on our table and stuck her butt out in the open. She blocked my view of Jimmy. "Um, yeah!" Jimmy said. I tried to look around her, but her thick hair made it hard. She was facing Jimmy. "Can you sign something?" She asked. She then got up and pulled her already low cut shirt lower. Her boob was practically hanging out. Jimmy's eyes widened. Mine did, too. I can't believe she just did that. I couldn't speak. Jimmy looked at me with a worried look. The girl just stood there, half naked, waiting for Jimmy to sign her. She handed him a black sharpie. He didn't move. She then sighed and grabbed hand. She placed it on her exposed chest. Jimmy froze. "Please sign it?" She asked again. He quickly scribbled something and dropped he sharpie. I was shocked. The girl smiled and picked up her stupid sharpie and walked away. "Stevie" Jimmy said before I got up and walked away. I can't believe he would actually do that. He should've just said NO. "Stevie!" Jimmy yelled after me. I kept walking. He soon caught up to me. "Stevie, please talk to me" he said. I ignored him. "Where are you going?!" He asked. I stopped. "I don't know, but I sure don't wanna be with someone who signs other girls' boobs randomly!" I said. He rolled his eyes and grabbed my arm. "Stevie, I'm sorry....I just didn't know what to do, she grabbed my hand!" He said. I bit my lip, trying not to cry. "Jimmy, I don't want to fight" I said. "Me neither, I'm sorry for doing that, I should've just said no. I just didn't wanna be rude" he said. I raked my hand through my hair. "Just forget about it. I don't wanna talk about it." I said. Jimmy looked around. There were people taking pictures. "C'mon" he said before putting his arm around me and walking me to the car. "Wait, did you pay?" I asked as we walked. "Yeah, sorta" he said. The car ride back to his apartment was silent. We were both in a weird mood that neither of us could understand. I was still upset about the girl and her whorish ways. It made me mad that Jimmy actually signed her stupid boob. I don't know why he couldn't have said "no." It's that's simple. It made me mad that we were constantly being photographed and watched. I don't know why people can't mind their own business. It made me mad that my mom hasn't called or anything, I guess she doesn't care about me. She probably hates me. Life was so much like a roller coaster right now. Everything will be going well and happy and then BAM, everything crashes down around us. I don't know how the hell I'm supposed to go to school tomorrow. Ugh.

When we got home, I took all my clothes to Jimmy's room. Jimmy laid down on the couch and watched TV. At around 7, I laid next to him on the couch. "Hey" he said as he put his arm around me. I nuzzled close to him. "I love you" I said. "I love you, too" he said. "No, Jimmy I love you. I really do. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me and I don't care what the others say. I'm completely in love with you, it's something so new and scary, but I can't wait to go on so many adventures with you" I said. "I'm sorry for getting so pissed about the girl it's just.....there are so many beautiful women who want you, why me? Why the hell would you choose me? I'm awkward and shy and not pretty enough for any type of TV. Why did you choose me?" I asked. Jimmy stared into my eyes. "Because my heart chose you. I can't help who it chooses. At one point, it chose Nancy, but now....it chooses you. That hasn't changed in almost 3 years. You're stunning and everyday when I wake up next to you, I wonder how I got someone like you" he said. I puffed. "Whatever, you're Jimmy Fallon! The host of the goddamn Tonight Show! You could've had  anyone you wanted."I said. "But I chose you. For the thousandth time, I chose you. I love you, I adore you, I can't live without you" he said. "I will never stop loving you, even if we were to break up and go our separate ways again, not a day would go by where I wouldn't think about you. Not a day went by when we were separated that I didn't think about you. I knew you hated me and every time I thought of that I would collapse into tears" he said. His voice started to crack. I had no words. He had just poured his heart out to me, I couldn't speak. I couldn't stay mad at this man. With tears in my eyes, I grabbed his shirt and pulled him close to me. "I love you" I said. "I love you, too" he said back before I kissed him.

"I have school tomorrow" I said as I lay in Jimmy's bed. He sighed. "I know, would you ever consider online school for your last few months" he said. I looked up at him. I was laying in his bare chest. "I don't know.....my mom would probably have to withdrawal me" I said. "You need to talk to her" he said. "I know.....she'll just yell at me and probably forbid me from seeing you. I'm still 17" I said. He played with my hair. "I'll just go tomorrow and see what happens" I said. "I don't want you getting bullied or anything" he said. I sighed. "Me neither" I said. "If anything happens, call me. I'll have someone pick you up and bring you to me" he said. I propped myself up on my elbows, careful not to let the sheet fall off my bare chest. "I will" I said before kissing his cheek. He smiled.
