Road Map (book 2)

Chapter 3: Don't you forget about me

"Ally, are you going yo join us for a movie?" Keith asked before walking into our bedroom. I was wearing my new underwear, laying on the bed, looking up at him.

"No, but you can go ahead, I'll just be here," I said and pulled my hair over my shoulder dramatically. I saw Keith's adam's apple bob and that spurred me. I got up and walked over to the door. After closing it, I turned my attention to Keith.

"Ally-" I cut him off with my lips. His hands found my waist and he pulled me against him. He smiled against my lips before deepening the kiss. His touch on my bare skin send flutters through my stomach. I knew what was going to follow. And I was prepared for it.

Keith edged me closer to the bed. When my back met the sheets, I was pulled into the perfect world that was know as Keith Fray's arms.
************

"Aaaaaaalllllyyyy," the predator purred.

"What?" I, the prey, mumbled back sleepily.

"It's time to get up," Keith's warm breath tickled my ear and my eyes flew open. Keith was in his boxers, holding me against him. The sheets were a mess all around us. Not that I cared.

"Why?" I asked, not happy about the fact that I had to move from my perfectly comfortable spot.

"You have to get ready for the graduation ceremony, silly," Keith said into my ear again before kissing my cheek and standing up. I groaned and rolled over onto my stomach.

With a fine moan, I got up and grabbed my bathrobe. Half asleep I walked to the bathroom. Before walking in I knocked, just to make sure. Nobody.

I smiled and closed the door before turning on the tap and stepping into the hot spray. The water woke my muscles up and gave me energie to face the day...

The graduation ceremony was quick and I was not going to complain about the duration of the ceremony. It was great seeing mom and dad again. Keith seemed just as happy to see his parents again. I could clearly see that Peter weren't the same, he seemed thinner, and so pale.

After the ceremony, both, Keith and my parents took us out for supper. It was great to talk to them again. Strange to think I used to life with them and after the road trip I'm probably going back. It seemed like a fiction story.

When we got back at the apartment, we found Gemma and Steven cuddling on the couch while watching a movie. Keith sat down on one of the chairs. I went and sat on his lap. He automatically pulled me close against him. I snuggled my head on his shoulder before looking at the TV screen.

"You guys packed?" I asked the cuddling pair on the couch.

"Mostly yes. I just couldn't find the extra bottle of mosquito spray," Steven said and Gemma and I looked at each other and smiled at each other. Last week we found another bottle of mosquito spray that Steven had purchased. Gemma decide to hide it away. Clearly it did mess with Steven's head.

Keith clearly caught on to what was happening.

"That's not nice," Keith whispered into my ear. I smiled wickedly at him. I mouthed, what ya gonna do about it, back. He smiled wickedly at me.

"I'll have to spank you," he whispered into my ear. All the muscles in my body tensed and I knew he felt it. He stared lifting me up in his arms as if I weight nothing.

"Night guys, see you in the morning," he said to the barely listening couple. I gulped. Was he being serious?

Keith walked with me in his arms to our bedroom. After entering and closing the door, he sat me down, right side up, on the bed.

"Stay right there," he said and walked off. I sat there fidget with the sheets. I couldn't sit still. Then he was back. I heart started beating fast. I didn't know what was going to happen. Spank me! Oh fuck. I've done it. No, no, no, no, no....

"Ally," Keith said in a soft, loving voice. I closed my eyes and tried to control my heart beat. I felt Keith take my hand.

"Ally, love, open your eyes," I did as he asked. He was in front of me.

"I want to ask you something and it is very important," he said, suddenly serious. I sat up straighter.

"What is it?" I asked. What could be so important thay he had to get me alone and was kneeling with a serious expression? I wonder...

"Now, I don't really ever thought I'd ever say these things I'm about to say, or ask these things," Keith started off, sounding nervous.

"Tell me, Keith," I said encouragingly.

"Ally, my dear sweet baby girl, I love you. I love you to the ends of the earth. I love you more than the stars in the galaxy. I promise I'll protect you for the rest of your life," Oh dear fuck, "I promise I'll always be there for you. In sickness and in health. I'll never leave your side," shit shit shit, can't breath, "I've asked your father for permission, and I've talked to your mom, and now I'd like to ask you. Ally Greene, I promise to love you in every way there is for the rest of eternity, will you marry me?"

Heart stop. Can't breath. Tears.
