He smiled down at me and in return gave me a quick peck back. "So, remember before, when my parents came?" He asked hugging me tighter. "Yeah." I giggled at the memory. "I had to be your fake girlfriend." He gave a small smile before becoming serious again.

"Let's do that again. Except this time for real." I looked at him in shock. It wasn't like he was proposing, but it felt like it. "Really?" At that moment I felt as though a part of me became a dumb blonde. "Yeah. Really."

I tightened my arms around him and hid my blush deep in his chest. "Can I take that as a yes?" I nodded my head to his question and snuggled in until I almost suffocated.

He chuckled again tickling my face. Lifting my chin he made me look at him in the eyes. "You know some time in the future, Laurel Ruso doesn't sound so bad." Blushing madly I nodded my head. It does have a good ring to it.

After a while of just relaxing I felt like a part of me was complete. It took a while to finally realize that all my life I was missing something.

Something that can make you smile.

Something that can make you cry.

Something that can make you happy.

Something that can make you sad.

Something that doesn't grow on trees.

Something that isn't easy.

Something that I can now call mine.

A little something called LOVE.

It's been so long since I've had this feeling. Now that I have it I just want to shout it out to the world that I, Laurel Aquilla, have found love.

Do you know what the best part is?

That I'm not alone anymore. I've always been alone. Whether it be at home, well at home. Being home schooled leaves you friendless in most cases. I was lucky to have Sofia. She's out on her own though. With Rodrego. Of all people! The irony! The one male we despised all our lives! Then she dates him and doesn't tell me! Ha!

What a great friend she is! Never in my life would I have done that to her. As soon as I got a boyfriend I would've told her. Maybe I should...

I haven't talked to her in over a month now that I think about it. I wonder what it's like for her working over at the Rodriguez group? Is she having fun? Are they really in love or was it a game? Oh the questions!

With conflicted thoughts I hardly noticed the male next to me sit up. When I did though I was so shocked that I almost fell off of the bed. Luckily his nice little thing called arms caught me.

"I get this feeling that you prefer the floor over me." With a small laugh I pulled myself back up. "Hardly." I responded kissing his cheek. Getting up I walked to the door and began to open it.

"Where are you going?" He called sounding annoyed. "I may be yours, but when it comes to food you have to share." I answered as I walked out the door and into the kitchen. Dinner wasn't going to make itself after all.

"Hey wait up! I'm not letting you out of my sight!"

Here I was standing with my boyfriend and his elite group in an alley way making a deal. I was practically apart of the group now and had the right to opinion when necessary.
